Microwave is faster, correct?

Theres your answer. Americans generally dont care about energy saving or any of thay sort. They like that instant gratification.

I like your silly generalizations.

Seriously though, if you're actually making more than one or two cups of tea, a kettle probably IS faster anyway.

Don't put your own words inside my quotes! That's libelous!

Well I sadly don't have a choice, it's all we can afford. :< I'd rather eat a bunch of meat, given I'm pretty much a carnivore. XD

 Not so much meat as veggies. I'm sure you can scrounge up some nice chili and curry.

In retrospect;

IWM: You tard.
Duke: I agree actually, but her reason's for this stem more from, her not having any money, and noodles being cheap.

A little bit more on topic: I own a kettle, I am American, and I do use it, but I tend not to think about how I heat water, I just do it.

I'm really starting to get annoyed by our Greenwich timers keep poking in idiotic generalizations about how Americans do this and Americans do that or how they don't do this or don't do that.

You don't live here. Don't talk like you know everything, or we'll make the same generalizations about you that we simply can't resist making about the French.

Yeah! I don't wanna pay for no damn brits to be living it up in my house!  Especially if they are here oppressing my freedoms! Like the freedom to not be taxed!

QFT. Non-Americans on B12 usually act like experts on America, pretending to know about it more than we citizens.

I seriously don't pretend to know jack about British government, laws, culture, or anything about them. But everytime bad things are a comin its "Cheerio, I heard that Americans [horseshit statistics] [inane bullshit] [media hype], pip pip bloody to good day, wot wot"

I, honestly, from my history classes, have gleaned that during the time of the Boston Tea Party, the British were quartering troops in American homes.  Also, the British were funding this endeavor to beat down the Americans by taxing them.  We were not idiots. We saw right through this. We attempted to talk rationally.  But the crazy bastard king at the time was too crazy to listen. So we threw them out.  'Nuff said.
