Hey, not ALL Americans! **looks insulted**

Hey, not ALL Americans! **looks insulted**

Shall I also go on to say that Americans are easily insulted? LOL jk :lol:

OK, maybe I'm making generalizations. How about "those Americans who grew up taking everything for granted are notoriously rude".

[lovely~]

Hee.

That makes me want to go to America just to say "please" and "may I" every other word. Like that one girl on the Amanda Show. XD

[Mara=^.^=]

Allow me to clarify my level of politeness before you think I'm a total bore.

Ahem.

Example 1:

Mara: **waving** Come on down!
College Student #1: OMFG Bit** get your @$$ down here it's time to party woo!!!

Example 2:

Mara: May I have a bite of that?
College student #1: **wolfs down entire sandwich**


Example 3:

Mara: Is my music bothering you? Want me to turn it down while you study?
College student #1: **blares music without any regard to anyone within a 5 mile radius**

LOL@Mara, and the insulted easily thing =D

Okay, since Chica says my PMs don't bother you (right), I have a question. **Mara jumps off cliff** How the heck do you use FF.net?

[Beks]

this whole business with the formatting is a bit confusing to me, but it's getting fixed, so I don't need to understand it, right? ^_^

BTW, if anyone hasn't read UltraMom, you need to read it NOW!! Even if it's not anywhere near Mother's Day. I command you all to read it! Mwaaa Haaa Haa Haa!!! :lol: :lol: (JK ;) )

Ahh, yes. It took me FOREVER to figure out how to use ff.net. What specifically do you need to know? How to upload/update fics? How to read other people's stories? Let me know!

Uploading a fic, please.

Hey, not ALL Americans! **looks insulted**

definately true! and I have evidence!!

[country bashing]

I have a friend who lives in France, and she was so surprised at how nice the storeworkers in the US were. A lady at Abercrombie and Fitch said "hello, how are you today?" and Mathilde just stared at me.

Also, my sister lives in England and she misses what she calls "Minnesota nice." She'll always fall into a conversation with some stranger on the tram to Minneapolis here, but over there she got evil looks when the Underground stopped and she bumped into the four people in front of her.
(pardon for laughing about this but...) she also saw someone struggling to pick up their fallen (and opened) suitcase on the sidewalk with people just briskly walking by. not only that, but the person told her he didn't need her help when she made an attempt.

[/country bashing]


sorry. but I always hear people say that Americans are rude and it makes me defensive. <_<
and sorry for going off-topic.

[Alex]

I'm an American... :'(

It doesn't matter, cause I know it's not true.

[cynthia_aurora24]

why are you crying?

[Alex]

why are you crying?

Cause everyone thinks that America is LA or Chicago.

[cynthia_aurora24]

Cause everyone thinks that America is LA or Chicago.

that's true. well, not everyone. everyone being those who either don't live in America and therefore don't know everything about it, or those who live in caves. hehe. and they base everything on the bad media.
how we're all "fat (no, OBESE), rude, and carelessly squandering our easily-earned money."

there I go, getting all defensive again. :rolleyes:

[Alex]

There's only two people in my school of 300 that are overweight... And thanks for defending! *Yay*

[cynthia_aurora24]

*also yay*


:treehugger: erm, pretend that's the flag or something.
I dunno, maybe it could be a tree in Minnesota.

*hikes up pants* and now, back to Jimmy Neutron things!!

[Beks]

I wrote chapter 3 in the group fic! Go check it out!

[Alex]

I will!

Mara, how's the fanfic page coming along?

[Mara=^.^=]

OK, let's get even more specific: it's mainly young adults and teens that are rude. Especially middle school - college. As college progresses, though, I think some of the rudeness abates.

And to answer your Q aeharding...it's not coming **sad face** due to the fact that I have a huge midterm sized test tomorrow on hieroglyphics and a project on Microsoft excel due (I suck at excel, fyi :lol: )

I'll let you borrow MY chainsaw to get outa homework and tests. (Yes, I have a chainsaw. No, I haven't killed anyone with it [yet]!) :ph43r:

That must... suck... :unsure: Homework... Should be renamed the Jr. Great Depression.

[Mara=^.^=]

Yes. Homework is evil. All in favor of banishing it to the farthest ends of the Earth, say "aye".
