Trick or treat isn't solely an american culture, and to be honest I like the halloween atmosphere. Unfortunately the culture is dying out here.

Yeah, cos like whenever I think of America I think of them Hasidic Jews and their ringlets shooting hoops and having a coffee in Starbucks. Grrrrrrrr, why are they so tolerated?

Those Black Friday sales. People trampling over their fellow human beings to get a cheap television. They look like a crowd of zombies.

The way they get incensed when someone 'violates their second amendment right'. I saw something on a social network site about boycotting businessess that have a sign saying 'no guns allowed'. http://www.2acheck.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/NoGunsNoMoney-Variety1.gif

Here's a list of the places they want to boycott. http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/e7/c6/a1/e7c6a1922143a369cbf92a0a479eeeba.jpg
Toy R' Us and Babies R' Us are on the list. They seem unable to comprehend why a shop that sells toys might not want idiots walking around with guns. There are a number of banks on the list too.

There's even some weird Facebook group called 'black guns matter'.

Having a fondness for toad in the hole does not necessarily mean you are gay.

Before you comment again I suggest you look into the Zionist influence on American politics, corporations, banking and media.

Many Hasidic Jews despise the Zionist movement and have spoken out against it.

I recommend you look into the work of Rabbi Dovid Weiss

The notion of being a sports fan while morbidly obese.

Most of it. The loudness, the OTT nature of practically everything they do, from Halloween to discussing their feelings, how the seem oblivious to a whole world existing outside the states, the horse veneers.

Electric Sheep

Having well paid jobs and a good life style. Bastards!

The flying mouse

There politeness,

Put your hands behind your back sir,
move along there Madame.
where ya all from,

And you all have a nice day ya here



I don't know whether its cringe worthy or embarrassment as I don't have that politeness in all situation's.

The undercurrent of paranoia that seems to run through the culture. The guns are but an obvious symptom of that. The American Dream©. The well trodden meme that Breaking Bad wouldn't play out as a narrative in most civilised countries, because Walter White's cancer treatment costs wouldn't require him to become a drug manufacturer and supplier.

It's just the phony way it's said. Every shop you go into "have a nice day". In every shop I was in, I was just looking and they'd be straight over. I was thinking "would you just let me look at the stuff"

Also "good job"

Just back from the US, can't say there is anything about their culture that annoyed me.

Do they really? I've never heard it. Maybe it's an east Coast thing?

The pattys day thing does annoy me but they seem to think 'paddy' is offensive so they spell it patty which sounds the same anyway.
