A Brit's First Experiences of America (Page 3)

[Jupiter1]

Nice take on Florida except for that Titanic sank near remark.

[monkeynutts]

It was a culture shock.

[myTake Owner]

Basically.

[madhatters4]

it was fun to read your impressions of US

[Anon-ymous1]

Yeah... the problem here is that you were in *FLORIDA.*

Florida SUCKS.

[NYCQuestions1976]

The Titanic didn't sink near Florida.

[myTake Owner]

It's closer to Florida than it is to the UK, that's mainly what I was getting at. It was the first time I even remotely close to the area it sank.

[NYCQuestions1976]

The wreckage site at the bottom of the Atlantic is maybe just past the halfway point between the United States and the United Kingdom. It's actually closer to Newfoundland. 👍

[themomo84]

Raised in Florida, ty!

[Waffles731]

Florida isn't very representative as a whole of America.

[Miristheiss]

LOL, nothing is. It is 50 states and 5 time zones and has over 300,000,000 people.
Good luck find THE representative section of the country.
That doesn't exist.

[Waffles731]

@Miristheiss you have representative parts of sections though, Cultural centers if you will.
For New England it would be, Boston and certain parts of Maine.
For the Mountain West it would be Denver, Cody Wyoming, and Montana.
For the Southwest its places like Albuquerque, Hatch, Las Vegas.
Places where you can experience a sort of distilled essence of a region

[myTake Owner]

Apologies for not being loaded enough to visit all 50 states.

[Waffles731]

Its not that you didn't have enough money, but it is jarring to see someone base their opinion off my Country from solely florida.
Its like basing the opinion of the U. K off of solely liverpool

[Miristheiss]

Sounds like someone has something against Floridians.

[errorgoodnameunfound]

nah even then dude, too diverse. Just take compare Albq. to Sante Fe, Fort Worth to Dallas, Denver to Boulder and New Orleans (again, WHO DAT? GO SAINTS!) to Shreveport. America is BEYOND mixed no matter where ya are and even cities right nearby can have quite big diffs. Not much a way to KNOW America too well unless ya get raised in it, learn the constitution well, and get in the know around local, state, regional, and federal politics, as well as get HIGHLY into different cultural aspects like Netflix, Disney, and stuff. NEVER try to understand a country like the US unless born and raised, and even then, don't try too hard. It's not like Britain where it's barely bigger than Maine, or the majority of countries in Europe that barely match land size of Colorado.

America is a shithole

[Opinion Owner]

Im from Australia dumbass.

[errorgoodnameunfound]

Ah yes. Australia. I've had an Australian roommate before. Entitled af people similar to western Europe. Better than east Europe russia or india as those people at least online are anti American ignorant and annoying af while meanwhile their country is among the highest poverty rates and the least in actual contributions. Australia has idiots too comparable to thr backwards morons found in Mississippi. But at least many of them would have a SPINE and not report over being offended. Oh and I can report you too dumbass. Nice try. Free speech. Fuckin learn it. America has. I guess Aussies haven't.

[GayHowellMeme]

Interesting myTake

[CT_CD]

Interesting

[Tyliah]

Seems accurate

[Secretgardenblood]

Interesting take

[SwoleCook]

Sooo boring. Couldn’t get passed the first line.

[myTake Owner]

If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all.

[SwoleCook]

Yes ma’am

[errorgoodnameunfound]

This isn't even my fave take, but speaking of boring, food and beverage isn't exactly the world's most entertaining subject. Not like it's kinda trivial or cliche or anything...

[SuccessfulHornDog]

TLDR, Sorry

[errorgoodnameunfound]

you;re a supposed Guru on this site, supposedly 31 and act like a bored 13 year old, being that you can't read at least a few paragraphs or say anything nice or helpful? Sad af. Why are you even commenting?

[SuccessfulHornDog]

@errorgoodnameunfound I comment to annoy assholes like you

[errorgoodnameunfound]

Oh really? Then why are you a guru? I doubt you are even American and if you are, you sure don't act like it. A TRUE American would've read this and defended their country from being overly judged based of a Florida. Many here did so but you sat on the side being snide. Where you from? I doubt you are from a sophisticated area. 31 years old on a forum site going around bothering people for fun? Do you get paid for this? Hope so, as it doesn't sound you have much to keep you busy on a daily basis. Perhaps you live in Russia and you sometimes tire of riding bears, drinking vodka, and sucking on Putin's balls?

[SuccessfulHornDog]

@errorgoodnameunfound I am from Pakistan
