redsfan2 Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Yep shula but you have some kick ass sports at least! Every country has its negatives and positives- Im always torn wether to live on the big Island or stay in Europe! The one thing I really dislike about the US is you can go from oneside of the country to the other and its all the same. Its like one guy designed everything! Its like being in a weird sci fi movie!Just as a recommendation.. butTravel from Hurricane West Virginia to Charleston, and you won't think you're still in the same state.In December, travel from Vermont to Key West Florida, and you won't think you're still on the same continent. If you want a milkshake in Ohio .... you ask for a milkshake .... Makes sense huh? But got to Boston, and you'll have to order a frappe. In Boston a chocolate milkshake is milk and chocolate syrup. Same with soda .. pop ... coke.. All the same thing, but ask for any of them in the wrong city and the people will look at you like you're speaking ........ Spanish.By the way ..... have a conversation with your average Bostonian and then go to Pennsylvania and talk to one of the local Amish guys. You'd swear that one or the other wasn't born in this country. Oh and then stop by Chinatown in Frisco.Drive from the southwest where there are no trees to the northwest where the trees are 300 feet tall and you'll think you're on a different planet.Whether you're talking about architecture .. people ... landscape ... languages ... or even colloquialisms in different areas, the United States is the most diversified country on the earth. Now all of that brings its own set of problems, but the monotony of everything being the same isn't one of them. In other words, you don't know WHAT the f**k you're talking about.. Brevity is indeed a virtue. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPW Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Whether you're talking about architecture .. people ... landscape ... languages ... or even colloquialisms in different areas, the United States is the most diversified country on the earth.That is the truth ...

Spain Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 How many countries have you been to? In every town in the country you have the same stores, restraunts,architecture. While americans are very competive but the truth is the truth. Mcdonalds in Ohio is the same as in california. the US has been franchised for along time now. Its very repitive. In Europe you can go a 100 miles and you will find another country with another language and culture. Sorry but reality is reality. We speak 8 different languages only in Spain! Which is smaller than Texas. Let alone if you talk about all of Europe! The US is the most vanilla country in the world. Not that , thats bad. Its just the way it is. My goodness as far archticture. Only in Spain you can Arab, Roman, Godo, celtic, this list just keeps going. The US is a very young country that had no known infrastructure that was developed with a cookie cutter mentality. You simplly cant compare over 6000 years plus of history with 200 plus. However with that being said you do have the best infrastructure in the world. Just very boring! Alos not talking about the land which is basically just like any other continent its very different from north to south. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPW Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 the truth is the truth. Mcdonalds in Ohio is the same as in california.Yea and, McDonald's in Ohio is the same as McDonald's in Madrid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Mcdonalds isnt very successfull here. I live in a city of 2 million and we have 2. Europe is resisting the franchising global community. I dont know if any of you remember the family business era in the US but the difference is big! Franchising the planet sorry ,I just dont like it! Why do you americans respond so negatively to the truth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spain Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 The truth is its horrible jditty and exspensive. Thats and the whole makes you fat thing is killing them here.

redsfan2 Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Why do you americans respond so negatively to the truth? We don't ...... you've just haven't gotten around to the truth yet that's all.You said it yourself. Spain is about the size of Texas. Now take off the rubberband so you can concentrate. How could a country that small be more diverse than the United States in any manner ??? We know all about European history. We've been the main authors of it since the beginning of world war 1. The reason we have the diversity we do is that Europes best and brightest brought it with them when they moved here. You've hinted that you've been here ............ it's a shame that you didn't bother to learn more while you had the chance. It would have if nothing else kept you from making some of the more ridiculous statements that you've made.And I've been to more countries than I'd ever intended to go to. Fortunately I won't ever have to again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Uh because you are basically a continent that has all the same culture , food , and evertyhing. You go one place or another in the country and its all the same. If you compare that to europe or spain that has not been franchised to death. Only IN Spain you go from one town to another and youl never see the same. For example if you go vasque contry thay have a pre latin language and a totaly different culture than say valencia. Let alone if you go to another part of Europe. Im just wondering why americans feel offended when they hear Reality. why do you feel so offended. Your not the best at everything and never will be! And one thing is for sure its the same culture food from one side to the other with a few exceptions. Dont be so sensitive the US is what it is. However it is very vanilla! Oh i was born in the US, in Ohio. My Mother is spainish my father American . Im a military brat who has been drug all around the world. Reds fan maybe you need to get off the your Island and see the rest of the world? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reds fan maybe you need to get off the your Island and see the rest of the world? Yeah. A lot of Spainish women have kids by US servicemen. So do a lot of the women in other countries that we go to. There's probably a lot more diversifying going on than a lot of guys know about. My brother in law married a German girl who brainwashed him nearly as bad as you are. He lasted a lot longer in Germany than I thought he would. Even stayed there after the divorce. He's back here now. There really is no place like home. I can see where being dragged around the world would screw you up tho. At least in some cases.And like I said ........ I've seen all of the world that I want to. There's way too much to see and do here to waste time on Europe. The exceptions to that would be if I ever get the time to go to the British Isles ... That's be Scotland ... Ireland ... England ... Wales ... you know. As well as getting back to Australia and this time New Zealand too. So you're from Ohio huh ???? Tell me .. what part of Cleveland were you born in ????

Spain Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 Cleveland? I was born in Adams county(hides in shame), The US is what it is and Europe is what it is. They both have their points. It just seems that americans are so competive that they find it an insult when you point something out thats negative about their country! there is alot of positive also. Its that part of your character that tends to offend people from other countries it comes off as arrogance. However I know its just the desire to be the best that makes americans so strong! However reality is reality every country has its negatives! The US has been franchised! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
