The Off Topic Topic

[The Larch]

With the exception of Californian girls, who annoy everyone, Americans are always very popular when I've travelled.

Don't know why.  We're loud, exceptionally ignorant of the world around us, and don't have that Camusian "life ees shit"-waiting-to-die bullshit continental attitude.

You can read that as cheerful, wide eyed enthusiasm and a willingness to know and experience new stuff, and all of those are cool traits.

Besides, that life is shit attitude is more stereotipicaly French, and nobody likes them over here either. Nobody likes a party pooper.

And I take the opportunity to quote this inmortal Onion piece:

American co-eds traveling through Europe are without a doubt the easiest lays in the world

Don't worry, they drop their panties over an accent here, too.

[Sheilbh]

Yeah, I love that even when abroad Americans still find foreign accents cool

As Larch says the French tend not to be too popular, they stick to themselves and tend to be jaded with everywhere they go.

Caliss de Francais.

I wonder how much my nanny got pounded when she went to Paris on her own.

What's wrong with that?

My sister and her roommate did an Ireland-England thing after college;  her roommate got porked hardcore from some Brit in London on the last night.

Even I felt violated.  NOBODY PLANTS THE UNION JACK IN OUR WOMEN

I'm in a bar listening to an ultra-conservative American discussing politics with a David Icke-ite.  Worrying amounts of agreement

This is not at all surprising, you should prompt them to start on the 'freemen of the land' BS.

Meanwhile, what do you think of yesterday's man:

[Valmy]

Freemen of the Land?

Anyway weird and sad situation in Wisconsin.  This Neo-Nazi US Army vet shoots up a Sikh Temple in Wisconsin.  I was first really surprised, the Sikhs are about as un-controversial a group in the US as you will find, but I guess when you are a White Supremacist it does not really matter any minority will do.

After a brief and alarmingly racist discussion of African-Americans, they're now joyously disagreeing about religion. 'Jesus is the most optimistic person I've ever heard of.' 'So was Rockefeller.'

The David Icke people think everybody is a lizard right?
