Shino Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 My mom has said the same thing, and we're no where near NY or NJ. And did you said something back? I thought Michigan was one of the cool states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 And did you said something back? I thought Michigan was one of the cool states. Still living at home=Me keeping my mouth shut when parents say stupid shit. Also, any city in Michigan feels like you're in the middle of no where, the best thing about MI is it's close proximity to Lakes and Canada. Also, Toledo isn't too bad except it's in Ohio, and Ohio people don't know how to drive...at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Still living at home=Me keeping my mouth shut when parents say stupid shit. Or..you're thrown out?

Nolan Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Or..you're thrown out? People need to be told when they spout crap from their trunks. I thought speech was free in America? 1. I don't rightly know just yet, and prefer not to find out the hard way. 2. America is the land of the stupid, you can tell people flat out that they are wrong and it doesn't matter about what most of them will argue with you. I remember a thread on GT where some guy would not admit that his use of "your" instead of "you're" (which would have been correct) was wrong he went so far as to say using either word in the context is correct. And he writes College level papers >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything its proving (largely British) people are xenophobic and quick to insult others based on loose threads as its blatantly a distribution decision and the BBC has decided to make it "ZOMG AMERICA HATES ATHEISM!"

I didn't understand a word of that! :p I don't lead a sheltered life, I'm just not used to the level of stupidity demonstrated by those people. Still, it's not like I haven't seen that type of people before, but I'm equally shocked every time. Is that what you meant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't having a go it just made me laugh as it isn't new to me after studying american politics. I can't remember who I was with, I think it might have actually been the first time I met Ine, but we were on a train (the Thalys, I think) and I just remember hearing these Americans a bit further down in the carriage talking about politics. It all sounded very confusing. You're a brave man for studying that, haha. It really does confuse me. I don't know why. I just hear the word "constitution" and I switch off.
