Answer 1

I love this country too... but every single one of those things is true and funny!

Answer 2

Is this even a question or is it just you complaining about CHina or america? Give it a break. If you do't like it, immigrate to another country.

1. Only in America......can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance - is that an estimate or have you actually had your pizza dilivered right after you were shot?

2. Only in America......are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink - Only? Come on, most skating rinks have em

3. Only in America......do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front. - That why we stock up on tylonel and other non-perscription medicines at home


4. Only in America......do people order double cheese burgers, large fries, and a diet coke. - Canadians do, english do, mexicans do..... Come on, like americans are the only ones?


5. Only in America......do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters - Most major banks do that. Not only in america


6. Only in America......do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage - thats why we take our junk and shove it into the trash can then drive our car into the garage

7. Only in America......do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place - say what? My american friends don't even do that


8. Only in America......do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight - you wanna buy em one by one?


9. Only in America......do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures' - why don't you become a polititian and see how hard the job actually is?

10. Only in America......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille - I'm not even gonna comment

Answer 3

Sorry, this is just lame. It's not funny because, A) America is not the only place where some of these happen, B) Some are actually very good ideas and C) Some aren't even true.

A few examples:
"5. Only in America......do banks leave both doors open and then chain the pens to the counters. " - Have you ever been in a bank in another country?

"2. Only in America......are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink. " - Can't handicapped people attend birthday parties and watch their kids skate at skating rinks?

"7. Only in America......do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place." - Yes, Americans are the only people who do this... *rolls eyes*

"9. Only in America......do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'." - Lame. The word's origin is from the Greek word "Polis" meaning city-state. And "ticks" is not spelled like that...

Answer 4

These are some of the things that make America so great!!! As for that cheeseburger, fries, and diet coke comment... there are now McDonalds in every part of the world. That type of eating and drinking goes on in Bangladesh, Guatemala, London, Toronto, etc.

Answer 5

That last one always bugs me. Why do we need braille for drive thru's???? I guess though, that if the blind person is in the back seat, and the driver pulls up far enough? I don't know. Annoying! :]

Answer 6

Good one about the atm. I never thought about that.

Answer 7

America......... Love It or Leave It.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
