What are some things you LIKE about Americans?


Reddit asks the question of its non-American readers. Here are some of the answers:

  • The thing that stands out to me from times that I’ve visited to US is the phrase ‘Have a nice day’ and the sincerity with which Americans will say it and appear to mean it.
  • Your drive. As an Australian whose duties extend to leaving the hammock once a fortnight to grab more beer, I’m always amazed at how driven Americans are to do things. I sometimes wish I had that sort of passion for achievement.
  • Costco. Costco is amazing. I felt like Mitchell in the costco modern family episode the first time I went.
  • Imagination is an integral part of the educational system. This makes Americans IMO more interesting as adults.
  • They are charitable and often open to lending a helping hand.
  • Your breakfast items. The works with pancakes AND toast AND cornbread AND you name it. Amazing.
  • Stealth helicopters that thwart evil.
  • What do I admire most about Americans? They work hard. I know there’s the stereotype of laziness, but I think that this is inaccurate. Most Americans work their asses off, and many never complain.
  • Americans love innovation. It’s a great place to take a novel idea an run with it.
  • Americans are proud to be whoever they are, proud to be American, proud of American things. This sometimes goes too far but I wish the average Brit wasn’t so full of self loathing of themselves and their country.
  • I really like the fact that America is made up of so many cultures. If you migrate to America, you keep (and share) your old culture AND add some American. There’s no ******** about rejecting one or the other.
  • When I was over there I noticed how easy-going, social, friendly and open people seemed to be. I like it a lot, here in Norway people seem to be much more introvert.
  • Americans contribute the biggest portion of lulz available on the internet. We try.
  • I like your principles, especially your interpretation/application of Voltaire’s idea that: “I don’t agree with you but I will fight for your right to say it.”
  • Most Americans are ridiculously good looking. I like that.
  • Your military is what really keeps us safe, because ours is completely irrelevant.
  • I love that you can hold such a huge amount of cultural diversity within a single national identity.
  • Can do attitude and frontier spirit, Canadians have it too but Americans are a little bit more badass (for better or worse)
  • Almost all Americans I’ve met have been really nice persons and not like those fat gun loving muslim bashing health care hating abortion-doctor-killing death penalty loving guys we see on the news every other day.
  • Your contributions towards the ongoing development of the internet, for without it, I would have to talk to real people.
  • McChickens in Boston were only $1. In Canada they’re $4.19.

A Third of Berlin university students consider sex work (Reuters)


so do they consider jobs in the sex industry or do they consider sexual activity to be work in and of itself?

I don't know why, but this makes me giggle like a little kid.

Originally, however, a mission wasn't something Smart said she was sure she wanted to do. Even when she was at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, she continued to have doubts about whether she had made the right decision. It wasn't until a man she had once dated — whom she clearly told it wasn't going to work out between them — made an ill-advised marriage proposal inside the MTC that Smart knew going on a mission was what she wanted to do.

That made me laugh. Guy clearly can't read women and might have some mental problems to boot , but you have to give him props for trying in the MTC. That's a pretty gutsy place for a proposal.

So I read this and wondered what is going on with Elizabeth Smart now-a-days. I did a search and found this:

https://www.landoverbaptist.net/showthread.php?t=29870

I know it is a baptist site, so way over the top, but you ought to read some of what they posted there. Here is an excerpt:

What this appears to be is just a jealous harlot upset over their polygamous marriage. No doubt Elizabeth felt a bit betrayed by having her husband favor his first wife over her. So she made up the allegations of "rape and kidnapping" in order to discredit him.

Think about it: If she was really kidnapped...and really raped...why did she choose to stay with him? She had chances to run away!

Do you think these people really believe what they posted? Do you think Elizabeth Smart faked the whole thing so she could get the guy's money or because she wanted to be in a polygamous marriage or whatever?

I think they are insane for posting anything like that. No way a 14-year-old pulled off anything remotely like what they posted there. Gotta love religious fanatics.

Are all baptists that insane?
