Of course people in England work – how else would those expensive flats and outlandish gasoline prices be afforded?

I’m a Canadian living in France and it’s an everyday struggle for me. Life isn’t easier or better here. There’s fantastic things here that we never see in North America(castles, palaces, museums, art galleries)! But when you’re a “normal” person and have to find a job with your crappy French accent, it’s no picnic. I lived in London too. It was a lot easier because of the English language but my collegues talked about their jobs just as much as North Americans.

Hahaha, Elisha. People actually do say that kind of stuff in Texas but the slogan is more directed towards littering.

Also,maybe I’m skewed b/c I live in the Bay Area, but when Gwyn said she has “a greater respect for the multicultural nature of the globe” it was retarded. Duh the globe is multicultural. How stupid can you get? Plus, you can’t get much more multicultural than California. The Bay Area alone has the largest population of Afghanis outside of their country, and I heard something similar for people of Tongan decent. How is that not “multicultural?” Dumass.

Also, some of the posters are getting the wrong idea. Americans aren’t being overly sensitive to critism about our country here. It’s about someone being American born speaking down on a working class culture she knows nothing about. Its like if I complained about how Texans behave, when I’ve never even been there. Believe me, I’d be in trouble for “messin’ with Texans.”

Way to go CB, this is your best post ever. Way to stick it to sourpuss Gwen.

As for that first poster, screw the crap about people deservibg time off. Some people like working later so they can sleep later. Tehy’re still working the ame amount of hours. If they’re working until midnight, it’s not like they started work at 6 in the morning. They started later. If they work Sunday, they have a different day off. It’s not “in addition” to.
Sorry, I work graveyards and put in long hours at a job I love. kailie is naive to think everyone should work 9-5, Monday through Sunday. People need their traffic reports and news, so people don’t think twice about me working late at my radio job. Why are grocery stores any different?

Here, here Celebitchy. God, if she did say that, she sounds like she just fell off the turnip truck.
Like you, having lived in a few places overseas and the US and being an American woman, I think that living in the States is by far easier than alot of places. I can afford a lifestyle that my English cousins certainly can’t and I’m not wealthy by any stretch.
I get a bit tired of the America bashing because I know some really nice, average americans who “get it” without being overbearing.

Mis-directed attempts at sarcasm aside, just because something isn’t as bad as something else, doesn’t make it the best.

Well stated, Celebitchy. There are pros and cons of living everywhere. Personally, I LIKE where I live, but I’ve lived other places (in the US) where I’ve HATED it–racial tention, slurs, idiotic behavior… I couldn’t wait to move.

However, broad generalizations about cultures does tick me off.

Oh boy.

1) America gets bashed all over the world, all the time. It gets really annoying and most Americans are tired of it, especially when it comes from socialist, chain-smoking Zeropeans.

Try going to France and criticize the “French exceptionalism”. See how far that gets you.

2) Many immigrants eventually bring their families over. In fact, our immigration policy is based on family relations. It’s much easier to come to the US if you have family already established here as opposed to coming on your own. Maybe that’s why people ask if your family will be coming here too.

3) Yes, yes, America is a terrible, racist place. I wish the US could be more like Africa, where they’re not butchering each other. Or France, Holland or Sweden where they don’t have problems with their immigrants. Or India, where the Hindus and Muslims get along famously. Or Latin America, where black people have never been marginalized.

One can dream. One can dream……
