Americans

NADA

Hi everybody. Now this thread isn't racists but it's amazing how much Americans and their culture wrecks my head. I know a few and they wreck my head with their ignorance. For starters their attitude to alcohol pisses me off to no end. I know 19 and 20 year old Americas here in Germany and they have an obsession with Alcohol. They are not allowed drink at home and here they think they are the bees knees because they have freedom. They do be saying "Omg Taylor had 2 beers last night and we had to carry him home and Corey wasn't much better after a shot of vodka". And they seem to think that because I've an Irish accent and spell **** differently that I am in some way inferior the ****ing idiots. What really pisses me off about them is their general ignorance. They all say they love the "european experience". This phrase makes me choke. I mean they are in ****ing Germany. Europe is not a country. Say Germany not ****ing Europe. Europe could also refer to France or Belarus. And in Europe there is much more cultural variation than Europe. It pisses me off that they do not realise this. Also it pisses me off that the averasge American 20 year old male is as mature as my 12 year old female cousin. They bitch about everything and are like big ****ing kids even when it comes to stuff such as who's turn it is to "ride" in the front seat. I'm not even going to mention the guy I met in New York who thought London was in Ireland. I really think they are so thick that we should bring all their women over here and make them suck every cock in Ireland! Anyway not to hijack my own thread I wanna hear some funny stories about Americans you boardsies may have encountered at some point in your life. Just a small video to cheer me up I should share with you....

In fairness to the guy. I think he meant that you guys see it as more of a novelty than we do. He means, where we would drink six or eight cans, you guys would drink three or four and boast.

But that's understandable because of the drinking laws over there. Also I'm sure that many Americans over 21 could drink me under the table.

Trust me I understand.

I have been coming to Ireland since my father brought me back to meet the family in 1982. I worked as a barman for eight years in three different Irish owned bars/pubs/restaurants back in the 90s and have lived here for a while.

I have a greater understanding of alcohol and culture than most people lol

You have to look at the fact that these kids are getting alcohol for the first time (legally) due to the restrictions in place in the States. I have seen plenty of kids over here that when they turn legal are quite similar.

Like I said. It's very easy to paint everyone withthe same brush. It's just not fair nor is it valid.

My Brazilian friends call them US Americans, and their country USA. "Yanks" might work on the east coast, but I doubt those in the Deep South, Mid-West, Inter-Mountain North West, or West would identify with the label.

There is a word which is basically 'United Statesish' (estadounidense in Spanish) in a lot of the Romance languages. We don't have a word like that in English - 'American' is the correct and accepted term to describe a citizen of the USA. If the Brazilians don't like that, tough sh*t, to be honest. I taught classes full of them in my last job and I got really tired of being 'corrected'. In English, citizens of the United States are Americans, full stop (or period? :rolleyes:)

But why should you care, because you are an authority of the English language and know in your own mind that you are absolutely "correct?"

You just started your thread with a variation of "..I'm not a racist but..." so therefore you are, in fact, a racist
