@Misky : believing this kind of stereotypes makes surely of you someone....very interesting. Fascinating.
You should keep living in USA. I hope someday you will travel in Europe, so that "we" - european (French or Italian or German, etc., depend on where you would go) stereotypes - can mock you - american stereotype-.

Perhaps after that everybody would make progress on human tolerance scale.

The only thing with which i do agree with you : I don't think either we can win this contest.
But the fact is that not trying to is not very positive (you know, the "american optimism")

I think you can all lose the striped shirts and the beret (except, as said above, for old people and the ones who want to give themselves some sort of air). And as of eating weird thing, I can proudly say Sweden has nothing on us there after spending some time in Uppsala. Liquorice sweets covered in salt ? Caviar in a tube ? and most of all, Surströmming, fermented fish in a can, rotten so bad the  can actually swells up under the pressure ?
Plus, almost nobody east frogs or snails anymore... not in the west at least.

But as for surrendering, I don't quite get how americans keep on talking about it. Military defeat was certain, and losing every soldier would've been useless. Of cours the high-ranking officials surrendered because they feared for themselves, but why has almost everyone abroad forgotten about the resistance ? The people didn't stop fighting, in fact they chose to fight in the harshest way possible : with their families held hostage, no defense against the occupant who could - and has - blindly killed hundreds just to lure a few resistants out. When your relatives or friends can be captured and tortured because of what you do to protect them, when your neighbours can betray you and you have to fight for everyone yet trust nobody ; that's a harsh war.

Harshest than any the USA have waged, except maybe for the civil war. War isn't war unless it's waged on your grounds.
Plus, it was a french general leading the army that retook europe.

There might be other accounts of the French surrendering, but I don't think most people think about these. I think Napoleon surrendered when the russian winter coldly kicked his ass, I guess that counts.

It's about time we had a casual racism thread.

So, how legitimate is this site? I noticed you can buy a "boost" and get 50 votes for 3 euros? What the hell? I guess pay-to-win has gone meta.

The French. I often refer to them in the same vein as Canada, my long-time nemesis. I have been constantly calling for a Invasion of Canada, and Plan to make a move on higher office to achieve this goal (though obviously not with this as my platform, well maybe in upstate new york).

The Candians, with their politeness, their boringness, their willngness to give us oceans and oceans of oil. They make me sick. People in my state NY, Often leave them as the butt of our jokes. In more conservative areas, the candians liberalness is mocked, often with the euphesim "Soviet Canuckistan".

Did you know that Canada was founded by a combination of the British rich, the Loyalists of the American revoultion, and the French?

The French eat cheese is my stereotype. I know, long beautiful histroy founding democracy, blah, blah, blah. They still eat cheese, the germans drink beer, the italians make pizza, the balkans make war, the British drink tea, and the spanish get spiked in the ass by bulls. I could keep going on, but who wants to hear that?

I don't think we can win this french contest.

Take a vacation to Canada. See how it goes with our FREE HEALTHCARE.

That's right. FREE... Yeah, I don't have much else to say... and yet somehow I'm falling into the stereotype by not having any insults. Well, I'd insult you if I could recall how the Canadians insult the Americans! Yeah... eh.

Hey, now I have healthcare too. SO YOUR HEALTHCARE CAN GO BLOW A MOUNTY. And we have grain, You have grain? we also have summer, but you probably haven't ever heard of that up in the tundra. We also have Hawaii, You have Hawaii? I thought fucking not. We also have mars, your spaceships go to mars? are you the freaking Soviet Union? Then the answer is Fucking no.

USA. USA. USA!

Hey now!

I'm all for subtle racism, but misinformed subtle racism? No way!!

Because I looked it up and the Phoenix Mars lander was actually a collaboration between NASA and many other universities from different countries, including Canada! In fact, I met a member of the team who designed one of the sensory modules for that spacecraft and he was very nice!

As for Hawaii, it's too damned hot. Gah.

Arrête!

Je tolére la racisme subtil, mais mal racisme subtil? Non!

Parce que je recherche lui et le atterrisseur à Mars «Phoenix» est un collaboration avec «NASA» et beaucoup autre groupes à beaucoup autre pays, y compris Canada! Je rencontré  un membre à un équipe que conçu une module pour que vaisseau spatial et il était très gentil!

Quant à Hawaii, il fait trop damné à chaud.

Is someone using British slang?!



No, wait, hold it, I'm in the mood now.

In more conservative areas, the candians liberalness is mocked, often with the euphesim "Soviet Canuckistan".

Gosh! I don't have a snappy nickname for the USA. It's got to be the politeness. EVEN NOW IT HOLDS ME BACK

Did you know that Canada was founded by a combination of the British rich, the Loyalists of the American revoultion, and the French?

No, I took nine years of Social Studies and all I learned were the treaty numbers. I had assumed our country sprang into existence when some British snob poured boiling maple syrup into the Arctic Ocean. On a side note, the British burned down the White House after eating all the food in it which is hilarious.

Last time I answered this in French and English, but unfortunately that can be undone by any yahoo with Google Translate. So let's get back to it!

Hey, now I have healthcare too.

Yes, and it costs money.

SO YOUR HEALTHCARE CAN GO BLOW A MOUNTY.

It's spelled Mountie! Dammit!

And we have grain, You have grain?

No, I live in Alberta and every day I see these empty fields of dirt everywhere. I've always wondered how the people living on those lots survived. That and the canola.

we also have summer, but you probably haven't ever heard of that up in the tundra.

I think I need to buy a new calendar.

We also have Hawaii, You have Hawaii?

As previously discussed, Hawaii is too damned hot and you can keep it.

We also have mars, your spaceships go to mars?

Mars is yours? But there's no Starbucks on it!

are you the freaking Soviet Union? Then the answer is Fucking no.

We were the third country to send something in space, actually. I like to think we snuck in while everyone was writing angry letters about how their nuclear warhead was bigger then the other peoples' nuclear warhead.

USA. USA. USA!

COME ON EVERYONE ALLCAPS MAKES IT SOUND LIKE A CHEER IN MY HEAD
