Re: A personal opinion of the USA
but they do like to have scary photo's of themselves with plastic hair and shiny teeth advertising their services unlike in the UK....slightly more disconcerting I think

Dunkin doughnuts? Are you mad?
Sorry but that invalidates your entire list
Take yourself into a bakery, one with a language other than English in the window, with people who give you a hard stare when you walk in, talk to you like your doing them an injustice by going in and generally give you a hard time if you don't know what you want.
I'm talking Polish Bakeries, then and only then can you get a real doughnut, one that doesn't feel like it was made with a million others or have a texture akin to a bathroom sponge.
Sure there is many a place to get a good one, but the polish do a good doughnut here and it takes more than two bites to eat it.
And don't tell me you go for the coffeeeeew, rated number one my arse.

But I much prefer US realtors/estate agents to the sleazeballs back home.
The powerlines thing is true though. I thought I was the only one who hated them so much. Also billboards and logos everywhere you look.
Yeah January sucks but yesterday i actually got home from work before it got dark! Spring is on the way.

...the childish obsession with guns and the Z4 noted in his list go hand in hand... both over compensating for something.
