Other - Society & Culture - 6 November 2006

Please don't think I'm being racist here, guys, I'm just interested to know.

Often when I post questions I get completely useless answers from folks in the US. Not because they're stupid (though some of them might be:-) but because our cultures are different and you sometimes don't understand when we're being funny, when we're being serious, and when we're being downright rude!

What I want to know is - do you feel the same about us? Do you sometimes wish we would just get lost and not bother answering your questions?

I find the differences most acute in religion and politics subjects. Do you find that too?

This is a genuine question - no offence of any kind is intended.

My freind said he was born in Cuba(he was joking). All the other people started saying,"Oh My Gosh, You are a Cuban!!!" If he really was, is he a Cuban? I don't think so!!!

I see this being ask about Americans all the time. It is obvious to me that you lack the skills necessary to formulate an intelligent question. Is this the best you can do? This question is nothing but an attempt to lead people into an argument and to incite hatred. My closest friend is from England and he is just as ignorant as I am.

Anyway, I do not believe this anyway. We all have our problems. Just trying to get a rise out of you Europeans!! Love Ya!!

I asked before what the best compliment you've ever received is. I don't want names from this or whether the insult was justified. But I'm interested in ingenuity or style in delivery.

This may sound like a stupid question, but are dogs and pets in general allowed on the subway? I saw a commercial where a woman had her dog on the subway and I was curious.

I was on my way to Uni this morning and I was at Liverpool Street station - I was gonna be late so I was rushing, but stopped dead in my tracks because I saw a large suitcase left unattended in the middle of the walkway between 2 platforms....

I looked around to see if it was someone's nearby but no one was claiming it - another guy noticed before me and I saw him tell one of the station staff...

Ok so what shocked me was the fact that NO-ONE else seemed to notice. I mean people were rushing but not one gave a second look to a very large suitcase placed in the centre of a walkway! I couldn't believe it - it may have been nothing but then again it could have been EVERYTHING!

I was contemplating heading the other way and getting as far away as possible - but then I saw a guy coming from the other end of the platform and he just wheeled it away...my heart was beating SO fast - then I remembered why I didn't like travelling on the tube again but I guess ive got no choice..

My wife was thrown off the bus just for taking our satnav box with her and telling the driver there was a better route. Can they do that to Freedom Pass holders?

I seem to be a mass consumer. I have tons of stuff but feel the need to acquire more. Why is it that I just can't live a minimalist lifestyle?

I’ve watch that MTV cribs thing with the Moby, that guy is F’ing loaded and he has nothing. No overload on dust collecting products sprawled throughout his house. How do you reach such a nirvana of living?

I've been looking through alot of these questions that are posted by middle schoolers and high schools talking about their bad hair day or the fact that the guy they like wont even look at them!...well the truth is I think that with everything that comes at you that is a "problem" we should ask ourselves "is this really going to affect me in the long run" usually the answer will be know hunnies! in 10 years when you are married with children and have a great successful job, nobody is going to call you up and say OMGG I REMEMBER WHEN YOU HAD A BAD HAIR DAY IN 11TH GRADE! soo if you happen to have that oh so horrible bad hair day or have a petty little rumor being spread about you..ignore it! because in the long run it will not affect you :-] just a though...

My story:

Age: 25 Sex: Female

Graduated college with Bachelor of Science. Have no interest in my college major (forestry) whatsoever, but continued on because I wanted to graduate.

Now I find myself stuggling from temp job to meaningless temp job each one less satisfying than the last.

I'm broke, with student loans to pay back. I live in Austin TX.

Likes: Computers (not programming though); Outdoors (but not 100 percent of the time); Music (but I cant play or sing); Dogs and Cats; helping people that want to help themselves; organizing

Dislikes : Stupid customers (customer service/retail food service etc); Telephones (call center crap)

I need a job that actually requires intelligence and drive and a college education!

help, i'm frustrated
