You mean they do things differently in another country? How odd and random.

You do realize this is the same for Americans going to the UE.
Countries do other things, wow what a concept.
The dog has spoken.

Welcome to America. We are a free country which means if you don't like it you are free to go home and not come back.

The US military does use the international date format. I think that is the better, easier way. Direct to consumer drug ads are only legal here in the US and in New Zealand. I find them deplorable and misleading.

What is difficult for anyone to understand no matter where you were born (unless that would be some communist sh#thole country) is that the government is supposed to comply with the desires of the people, but in AMERICA the government is frightening the people into compliance using the mainstream media as the most powerful weapon.

And yet folks still keep crossing deserts, mountains and oceans to get to that country that is so despised by the well informed. So tip your fat American waiter and tell him thank you for giving you a false sense of superiority. I’m still so surprised so many don’t return to their home of origin if they dislike the USA so much. Surely there’s a better job and better opportunity in their homeland. Right?

#21... 24 years growing up in UK, 40 years living in USA since. Traveled to many countries in those 64 years. I have but one Question Where the F**k on this planet is the thumbs up sign equal to the American middle finger salute or for that matter the British reversed peace sign.?

America hears ya
America don't care

For americans not to care I see a lot of typical american reactions though...

If these little things make you uncomfortable, wait until you find out about our love of pick-up trucks, fireworks on the 4th of July, apple pickin', corn dogs, giant foam "We're Number 1" fingers, target shootin' guns after lunch out in the backyard with grandma and the cousins, bass fishin', feedin' the birds and squirrels until they're monstrous sumo-sized, adults dressin' up for Halloween and acting like drunken idiots in public, jet skiing, snowmobiling, and dirt biking, going to a drive-in movie theater, DEEP FRIED EVERYTHING at the county fair, playin' little league baseball with the whole town lookin' on, wavin' to the cop directin' traffic - and meanin' it, and going to the church of our choice - or not, because we can. Don't hate us because we're beautiful and free, hate us because we don't give a $h#t about what you think of us.

I see these type of post all the time. “Wired things American do” etc... why don’t I see this for the UK, AUS , NZ or anywhere else. Oh yea, it’s because no one gives a sh#t about these countries.

As an 'American' usa born and raised, yeah I completely agree.
I wish we used the metric system, much easier.
Date format makes no sense.
I wish tax was included in the listed price. So many things have extra hidden fees, tax being one of them.
Healthcare would be great, its such a risk and my insurance costs more than any tax increase would be.
Tipping I am neutral about. I could go either way. Its nice to reward good service with an extra large tip, but since most don't, the worker industry really suffers.

Do you all realise that in every country except the USA, Americans are foreigners.
It's a WORLD WIDE web, not just an American one, FFS.

And they seem to elect idiots for presidents

- You never see threads like this about (insert country name here) because no one from The United States is flocking to (insert country name here). People of the world want to come here. Then those people don't want to assimilate, they want to change things to the way it was where they wanted to leave from. Where is the logic in that?

Actually, I see there's like this about other countries. Often. Especially England.
If you can't take knowing what people from other places think about our future, the I hope you never travel. You are why we get the ugly American rep.
