"The obsession over our way of life is hilarious. Been to the UK hated it and by judging by all the posts. You can see why. " Yes. Most Brits hate it here too. That's why we voted to make it much harder to go somewhere else on the same continent, to live and work. We're nothing if not logical. We're also really good at saying everything is fine, when it really isn't. *Leg hanging off* British person: it's fine. It's merely a flesh wound | |||

"Hardly any jobs here come with health insurance (mainly very well paid ones) And, they exclude any pre existing conditions or conditions that Joe the barely trained form filler thinks might be connected. Like, if you have a mental health issue, they'll exclude anything relating to a heart attack or something. Anyway. I do get irritated by how cheerful American colleagues are ALL OF THE TIME! Even when we KNOW they are not feeling cheerful, they sound cheerful. This is difficult to stomach | |||

Americans do pronounce some words oddly, I agree. But then so do we. I mean, just listen to scousers….. And it may be called English but we all know it’s a melting pot of numerous ancient languages such as Latin, Saxon, Norman, Nordic etc.
Language is evolving at an alarming rate - look at how we used to speak in Shakespeare’s time (400 years ago?), then 100 years ago. Now watch a programme on’t’telleh wiv summ yoof and try to understand a word they’re saying!
With different countries further dividing into regional accents, it’s inevitable.
It’s probably the same on Chinese Fab - “ugh, you lot in Hong Kong don’t half talk funny…” | |||

That, and the fact that common sense seems to take a backseat sometimes, schools are banned from teaching the theory of evolution, Darwin etc, and they ban certain books because they may "harm" their children....yet they are ok with guns? Lies not all schools. Goof learn state laws first before you spout nonsense. Typical ... At least 13 states mandate that teachers teach creationism in schools. Thats 26%. A quarter of your children are being taught that the Earth is only 6000 years old, yet science proves that the existence of lead proves the world is older than that by more a factor of 1000 lol." That's those states choice is it not ? Why should I force them to not have their own personal beliefs? | |||

"So I am sitting here looking at the harbor drinking coffee from a aluminum mug admiring the beautiful colors. Did I mention cookies? I had biscuits for breakfast smothered in sausage gravy and I am wearing red panties. I will check on the Herbs later tonight along with seeing if my eggplants have sprouted. Maybe I should ask Craig for pointers." You had me at cookies | |||
