Heh sorry came down a bit harsh really. Just I was trying to get people to see what is good about each other's respective countries. Maybe that would inspire more understanding and reasonable debate.
But i'm probably just living in lala land as usual :)
Yes Big Macs do have a certain something about them, I wouldn't say they taste great but I often want one.
Perhaps we should question what they put in it to make us want such drivel.
I like a lot of the people, although many Americans tend to be closed minded towards the idea of alternative religions (by virtue of the fact that they are conditioned to 'believe' in God) which I think impedes on their understanding of other people & cultures.
I like the 'independant' films, such as those directed by Cameron Crowe, Kevin Smith, Richard Linklater (amongst others)
I love a lot of the non-mainstream music as the people involved tend to be those who are dissolusioned by the state, or are open to ideas outside the norm.
I like Pizza Hut & KFC.
It's funny, it's always said that Texas is the right wing state, but we have an office in Austin, and everyone I know who's visited from there has been totally pleasant & seem totally chilled out. I think it's probably a case of 'he who hawks loudest gets heard'
I like the word moron, when spoken by middle-aged East Coast women to their husbands on snowy Boston streets, when it sounds like "mwwwwooooooooooron" and echoes like a plaintive animal cry of lost love in the chill winter air. I imagine it happens quite often. I only witnessed it once.
And I like Mike Watt, Iggy & The Stooges, my basses, pisswater American lagers, the Chrysler Building, Kurt Vonnegut, the films, my American friends and lots of other things.
Good for you, I'm glad to see you doing your bit for happy international relations.
Keep it up and you will soon have some :J
"..aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh[thud]" and a dead person, and nobody was really that bothered.
An english version of the texas chainsaw massacre? :]
"But there were Americans, too"
I hope you gave them a leg up :]
Independent? Kevin Smith?
Did I miss something?
