I swear, I'm going to SCREAM!!! :curse:

The next time I hear someone say "This is a Christian country..."

The next time someone singles me out for being different with their fake "oooh, I just lurve your accent!"

The next time I see some who's - yer - mate on TV with fake white veneer teeth

The next time I read that size zero is attractive

The next time I hear a sexist remark... and it is ACCEPTABLE!!!

The next time I see a religiously intolerant or racist bumper sticker

The next time I have to throw the trash out... and KNOW I could recycle most of it if the facilities were available!

The next time someone gives me a weird look for CHOOSING to walk down the street!

The next time I hear about another shooting

The next time I hear about "those ragheads"

The next time some butthead tries to tell me about Christianity as if I never heard of Jesus before

I'm not going to be responsible for my bloody actions!!!

A lot of americans are tossers, granted.

They are totally ignorant that there is a whole world outside their borders, which is why Sept 11 was a shock to them. They are intolerant of new ideas, anything different to the established way of things is criticised and dismissed.

Of course not all yanks are like that, but each time I visit, I see it everywhere.

Why do I want to move to the US, you ask? :rofl:

Well, the missus is ready to go back there. Her work is tailing off here, and financially, it just makes sense for us to make the move now.

I'm hoping 'll just get used to the idiocy and learn to live with it.

Yeah, we love being tossers over here. LOL We feel it's our right to be as rude and as arrogant as possible. It's fun and the American past time. Other than being overly optimistic. ;):p

I do however totally agree with the 'ragheads' comment, that annoys the hell out of me too!
