I like both
If it were that queer, the yankee women wouldn't be all over us like a dose of shingles whenever we go across the atlantic, or when they come over here. I dunno about european women swooning all over you though, they tend to reserve that for the Irish, or anyone not wearing clothes 5 times too big for them and a vocabulary that brings reccomendations of speech therapy :lmao:
Lets break this down one at a time:
How does a country have more culture than another? By being around for a couple thousand years longer? Not to mention there's a whole continent of these places, not one country thats barely 400 years old and destoroyed the ancient culture of the indigenous peoples, with Starbucks and Wallmart to show for it.
Comedy? Yanks fucking bum the Office and Monty Python, and that's the tip of the Iceberg for just British comedy, once you cross the language barrier on the continent you'll find there's a funny bunch of fuckers out there, that actually understand irony. While I acknowledge there is good comedy over in the States (Curb Your Enthusiasm, John Belushi, Richard Pryor), its incomparible to Britain, let alone the rest of the continent. Friends and Chappelle (this guy is about as funny as Friends) just don't cut it. South Park and the Simpsons? Maybe 8 years ago it was on a par. The best comedy America ever came up with was Bill Hicks, and they hated the guy, philistines. While Chris Rock was seen as a revelation, I think we managed to establish he was black just by looking at him, recycling what Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor did a decade previously isn't what I'd call groundbreaking, but maybe I'm just a snob when it comes to comedy..
The language? I already stated that when I talked about dumbed down spellings and loose fitting grammatic conventions, and thats just English. Given there are a good 30 languages that have evolved over the course of a couple thousand years, with many breaking off and forming their own languages, blending together with others (eg; Flemish, English and Swiss). This fits in with the culture stuff too.
The fashion I already mentioned, but sweatshop wares have never really counted as 'American' clothing to me. While I may not be able to speak for everyone, I can say quite confidently that I only have maybe 4 items of American clothing, 2 of which are shoes, one is a football shirt made by Nike (in Vietnam) and the other is a pair of Gap Boxer shorts (made in a Singapore sweatshop, I think) there might even be a pair of jeans lying around somewhere too. I dunno about all this talk of clogs though, europe has like 750 million people, 16 million of them are Dutch.. I suppose you think the French wear berets and striped tank tops all the time as well, oh while riding a bike with a baguette in the basket and playing with a stupid moustache (that being just the women, obviously).. Designers from France and Italy (despite being lame queers) appear to be highly coveted by America, in fact I'm sure their outlets make them a great deal of money in Beverly Hills and the like.
I couldn't care less in any case, the fact that i have a fiver in my pocket and thats worth 10 dollars kinda put the entire debate into context for me.
Too bad that 5er will buy you a tootsie roll in europe if your lucky.
you have more culture cause you've been around longer? So does Europe have more "culture" then asian and africa? cause the average european will tell you they do.
like i said your on Wu-Tangcorp.com, not Wvu-TaungKorp.Komm, respect that.
Chris Rock> Monty Python (that shit ain't even funny outside of nerdy white ppl)
and what indigenious culture haven't europeans killed lol? It was the European americans doing the killing anyways
don't even talk about clothing either, cause we can wear pickles in our assholes and the whole world will follow suit.
It wasn't mean't be taken in words of hatred but rather frustration, I just think this thread is stupid and when I saw Evol's post to me it seemed like the final straw. In retrospect I realise this thread was just a shit talking thread that carried no weight and my post was a bit too deep for the nature of the thread, for that I appologise to any latins living in the states.
I will say that my statement does hold truth though, and it wasn't just based on what I have read or saw on tv. I have been to the states and have witnessed it first hand. Some white people not realising I was latin (mislead cos of my accent) told me that they thought these latins should go back to their own countrys. Believe me though I put them in their place, but the general consensus seems to be that white and even the black population have problems with latins because of their growing numbers.

This is by far the stupidest thread in any of the forums I've been in. Now I'm not gonna bash either Europe or America I'm jsut gonna give you one name ....Nikola Tesla, an inventor from Europe, you might all dismiss him and all his work which i doubt most people know anyway since schools teach you differently, but you can't hide the truth that he made the world turn
In the end we will all get our asses kicked by the Asians.
