I was in a book shop today. An American tourist asked the assistant for a book by shakespeare
"Which one?" said the assistant.
"William" answered the tourist

Honestly, I am (technically) American, and I've been trying to figure that one out for years.
When I visited the UK, I went with the most American person I could have, which sucked, but I had a great time. She's the one who said "I'm having trouble driving on the wrong side of the road!"
Long story short, most Americans, not the anglophiliacs like me, think they know better than everyone else.
I hate America.

whats wrong with americans:
1. Basically people here in the US take what they see on tv as fact- not entertainment.
2. can I tell you how many people I know haven't read a book since they were assigned to do so sometime in high school?
3. American society values beauty not intelligence- women are expected to conform to unrealistic standards of beauty (this isn't exclusive to the US I know)
4. People are so comfortable that they don't feel that they need to VOTE! (so we have a freakin' idiot as our president)
5. Because people feel they don't need to vote, our government feels to doesn't need to be held accountable for anything that it does- therefore bush is killing thousands in Iraq, hundreds of thousands were left to revell in the madness that was Katrina while our secretary of state was out watching a broadway show.
6. "because take away our play stations and we are a third world nation"
7. the US is a media-controlled fast food nation and thinking is beyond most people

That one is a bit like one I heard a few years ago....it goes like this, and by the way this story is absolutely true.
It was on a Saturday and the football results were coming through on the public address system in the shop which I worked in. Someone said 'How did Tottenham do'? 'They lost' was the reply. 'What was the score' 'TWO-ONE', Oh that's too bad I wanted Spurs to win!
Needless to say we all fell about laughing!
