Americans. From a British Perspective.

I will say this and I’ve said it before recently during the World Cup. It’s really nice to hear when people from abroad have unexpectedly positive experiences here. Spread the word, please. We’re happy to get the pr boost.

I hear the mice in florida can be up to just shy of 6 feet tall and can talk

@Anesthetist now you're just being goofy

I have not been over to America in years since getting married and having kids but in my younger days I used to follow Bruce Springsteen round wherever he toured so been to quite a few different states.

I met awesome friendly people in each and wish I had stayed in contact with them all.

Times are hard but there is still more good than bad.

@Anesthetist @Tago-Mago Took me too long to understand these jokes...

@Anesthetist said in Americans. From a British Perspective.:

They are rats Matt

@steelworker I thought the 6’ tall talking rats were in NYC

Which part of Florida were you in? I grew up in the Tampa Bay area and also lived in Tallahassee for a couple years while my wife went to FSU. I do enjoy going back to visit family occasionally, but also very happy to have actual seasons where we live now.

Probably the best America has to offer. Wildly different but South Dakota comes close if you ever get a chance to visit. New Hampshire is up there with them. I’m in Minnesota (great in the fall) and have visited almost every state but those 3 stand out. And if I could add a 4th it’d be Nevada. Never had a problem anywhere with people.

I am locking this thread. What was an innocent post praising America and Americans, quickly turned into a bunch of politically barbed replies. Frankly, I find it pitiful and pathetic that we have to do this.
