To be fair, thats the equivalent of many "yeah but no but yeah bu Wha'evvvvva!" types in the UK. Much nicer looking, but still as vacuous.
Anyway, I'm sure her nerves contributed most to that performance. |

Miss SC's reply: "I personally believe that US Americans are unable to do so because, er, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And, er, I believe that our education, like such as South Africa and, er, Iraq, everywhere like such as. I believe that, er, they should, er, our education over here in the US should help the US, or should I say should help South Africa and shoud help Iraq and the Asian countries so we will be able to build up our future." |
Re: U.S. education system
That's hilarious.
A couple of weeks ago my brother in law was visiting relatives in Italy, and he met a couple over on holiday from New York. He couldn't believe it when he overheard the female New Yorker asking her boyfriend what language they speak in England... he was even more amazed when the boyfriend answered "er I know, they speak American!" :lol::lol::lol: |

Because you love it here! You just can't admit it to yourself. You love McDonalds and fried chicken and giant puffy Lazy Boy Recliners and pickups and country music and pizza and Budweiser and cutoff jeans and those tanktops with the built in bra and Chinese Buffets and shopping at the Mall and cowboy hats and Truck Nutz and Harleys and TV commercials and Dairy Queen and the NFL and flip flops and drive throughs and the World Series and snowcones in July....
