Skyrad 0 #4 October 16, 2006 Only in America.. can a pizza get to your house faster than an ambulance. Only in America.. are there handicap parking places in front of a skating rink. Only in America.. do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front. Only in America.. do people order double cheese burgers, large fries, and a diet coke. Only in America.. do banks leave safe doors open and then chain the pens to the counters. Only in America.. do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in the driveway and put our useless junk in the garage. Only in America.. do we use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we didn't want to talk to in the first place. Only in America.. do we buy hot dogs in packages of ten and buns in packages of eight. Only in America.. do we use the word "politics" to describe the process so well: "Poli" in Latin meaning "many" and "tics" meaning "bloodsucking creatures." Only in America.. do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering. When an author is too meticulous about his style, you may presume that his mind is frivolous and his content flimsy.

SmilingPhoenix 0 #5 October 16, 2006 Come on skyrad, you know the story... People who speak 3 languages are trilingual... People who speak 2 languages are bilingual... What do you call people who speak one language? American!Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure!

Lindercles 0 #8 October 16, 2006 There's a lot of work to be done in order to make up a bunch of mislabeled maps and spend a day asking people to pick out countries, and then edit the footage to show the 10 or 15 real dumbasses in the crowd. If he wants to make it a little easier on himself next time he can borrow my barrel and shotgun, but he'll have to provide his own fish and shells.

You know...I don't care. You MUST be able to pick out Australia as being Australia, even if the map has it labeled as NK.
