Ew, fjortisar. The plague upon Swedish youth. I haven't heard of people getting invited to fuck parties as often as you say....maybe you come off to people as a swinger? XDTubez said:
Yes we do identify ourselves by the parkway exit we live by (I'm near 153), but it is a practical way of determining where something is. The rest of the country thinks this is somehow hilarious, and every time I meet someone from out of state, this is the first thing they say, and it is getting old.rampantcreature said:
Yes we do have gardens (2/3 of the worlds eggplant is grown here)
We only glow on holidays and weekends.
Damn it! You're right... Well, at least I'm not fat... Actually, I don't see fat people very often, now that I think of it. If the majority of us are fat, where the Hell are all the fat people?Tubez said:
Nope, no laws saying when and how you can drink alcohol.Joens said:I think the legal age for drinking is 15, but it's not like anyone ever thinks of that.Gimmi. A. Burger said:?
So you can, at any given age, drink til ya brains rot, at any given place, public or not.
The only law on the matter, is that you have to be 16 to buy alcohol.
And to be honest. Im kinda getting rather annoyed by seeing drunk 12-14 year olds on the streets after dark.
Its times like that, I think we need more laws... On the other hand.. Its kinda cool to live in one of the few western countries, that dosent have laws like that.
New Zealand.
FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS DID NOT INVENT US!
And no, we aren't obsessed with sheep. That's Australia. They began the whole sheep obsession thing and pinned it on us because we export more sheep related stuff than them, so they automatically began putting it down. Kinda like if a nerd starts playing guitar then the jocks start saying that he has sex with guitars or something. We're just as developed as any other country.
And we don't pronounce "Fish and Chips" like "Fush and Chups". That's complete and utter bullshit... although it was voted that we have the 7th most attractive accent in the world, and Aussie has the 14th. HA!

Not all Americans are concealing firearms in their jackets as it turns out...
But if your in Texas or Miami then everyone is packing heat and you should get the hell out of there
Oh and not everyone is fat. There are plenty of stupid people but that's true about every country.

Who the hell is retarded enough to not know that? Oh wait I live in the USA where 1/5 people cant find their own country on a map... but at least it isn't everyone in our country who is as dumb as a dog who recently died. Just 20% of us.sylphmortem said:Portugal is not a province of Spain neither it is in old South America

Australia:
Most of us live in cities, not on farms or in the outback. In fact, we have the most urbanised population of any Western country.
We don't all surf (beaches in Sydney really aren't that great, to be honest).
Most of us don't speak in the slang you hear us say on TV, or with those exaggerated accents - we're really quite easy to understand.
We're actually very multicultural, despite the fact that everyone on Neighbours and Home & Away is white as a sheet (or that was the case the last time I watched =P).
Despite the fact that the first white settlers were brought here as convicts, most Australians are related to people who migrated here legally, because of work opportunities - particularly from a large influx of people who arrived after WWII. Saying we're all descended from convicts is like saying all Americans are descended from the Mayflower.

I'll add some things to Canada: We don't say "Aboot".
Ever. At any time. No matter what. End of story.

English:
We do have good teeth.
English are in the minority now because most people here are from the middle east.
Things are far more expensive here than in the USA, we're sick of americans complaining about there high fuel price when thats like a bargain over here!
We take sports too seriously.
We act like war is a sports match rather than actual conflict.
We are being more and more influenced by american culture, we're far less independant now.

Holland:
- We NEVER wear wooden shoes anymore, only for historical events and stuff.
- We are just as modern as other countries are.
- Dutch people are exellent in learning languages. And no, they don't always keep the heavy consonants in conversations.
- We don't smoke weed all day, dammit!
- And last, Amsterdam is not in the middle of our country!
Just to clear things up.
