Oh yeah! LOL!
I am a Canadian. Actually I think I have come to understand some things about you Amercians just a little bit better from being on YA! I hope so anyway. You are different from us! That is one thing I am sure of now.
A SWEEPING GENERALIZATION! WHOOPS!
You are culturally very different from us. I find some Americans very recognizable and others of course not so. The ones to the left slip by more easily but even they show classic trade marks at times that give them away. Like they are not very far to the left at all actually...LOL! Here we would probably place them on the moderate middle ground! LOL!
Oh we Canadians are all Communists u know! Riding on your coat tails, without you we would be nothing! LOL! Right.... ;-)
Don't feel bad, I love you as an individual even if I don't care for all the weirdness that is your America! There are things about my own country I am not happy with right now as well! I believe in constructive criticism of my own country which up until this most recent federal government was a distinctly Canadian trait. LOL!
It is up to you to send the rest of us another picture. Please do.
Your country scares the crap out of me. It's not the only one so don't feel singled out.
Squirrel, you are a real cool character. I hope you follow this line of thought some more I am interested with where it might go...in a good way. Please don't get defensive...a steriotypical American trait! LOL! Are you going to pound me down with your right wing rifle butt as I have been before on here? Sorry dear Squirrel...I couldn't resist that one. LOL!
Am I going to get it now!
Thanks for the question and good luck friend! Don't worry, it is an accumulative effect from; radio, television, movies, news papers, academic sources, the internet and yes... YA! OMG! You are doomed. But I really love you guys, on here anyway,,,LOL! Big hug! Group hug!Really! LOve you! Don't foreget! Don't press that button...don't and I don't want those other guys messing with theirs either! Stop playing around...stop.
Peace and love!
;-D ROAR! xox

it truly is an argument of having the gap to have a clearer perspective on the custom and its flaws. Many individuals have very constrained perspective approximately their own custom, yet do no longer understand only how constrained their view is. Many different cultures, countries can view our custom and others style somewhat a distance and evaluate and assessment and boost extra insightful comments that those people who're completely absorbed and immersed in the cultures. sure, we are diverse. And this is no longer continually a solid distinction. Our "custom" if that be conscious could desire to additionally be used here, overflows our barriers and impacts maximum of others that we'd do extra advantageous to have an stronger perspective of the effects we've on different cultures.

That and Y!A History, Military...
And a quick look at the very latest couple of pages of "all categories" as I arrive.
"If man evolved from...?"
"In WW2, who came third?"
"I've just finished collage, what should I do next?"
You're saying it's not representative?
I was thinking the "internet aware" had to be slightly above average, statistically.
Yes, it can be frightening but it's also strangely fascinating, and I'm still coming over to visit in September.

That wouldn't be good at all. I come on here because it's the only real place I can talk about religion. It's something that just isn't discussed in my state.

No, mostly from television.
Same with Britain - for some reason many Americans have a view of us Brits as being stuffy and arrogant. Probably down to the endless repeats of 'Are you being served.'

No I think the comes from watching Jerry Springer (every time I go to visit my in-laws in England it is always on the tv there).

Well,no. The people in Scandinavia probably assume tv evangelists make and unmake laws and hold all the power there is to be held. Meanwhile,gangs of Christian roughnecks go around forcing their religion on people,often with brass knuckles and truncheons. What other assumption could they make from all these hysterical postings by atheists?
