    A American stereotype is that you all hate Canadians, and Mexicans.

    1. Why do you call chips 'fries'?-dunno, why do you call them chips?

    2. Why are you all so fat?-that's a sterio type and i find that offensive since i'm 5'6" 130 lbs. but most people just gorge themselves on food and sit and watch TV all the time. fast food around here is extremely popular, so that's another reason.

    3. Why did you elect Bush...agian?-because kerry is a pathological liar and nader....well, i won't go there. bush is bad, but the other two weren't any better.

    4. Why do say aluminium really strangly?-the english accent accentuates vouls and hard consinents like "T" and "P", the american accent is quite different in the fact that we say our words without much excentuation at all, which may also be the reason why some people are misunderstood at times.

    5. Why don't you like the Office?-you mean work? can you be a tad more specific?

    6. What is Root beer?- its a soda made from sugar cane. quite enjoyable

    7. What is a Corn Dog- a hot dog wrapped in basically what amounts to a pancake

    8. Which sport is more important American Football, basketball or baseball?- i'm a hockey person myself so to me none of the above

    9. What sort of food does Wendys serve?-the same kind of food mc donalds serves but done differently

    10. What is the most popular department store?- more than likely american egle or tommy hilfigure

    11. Do all people in the suburbs really have American flags outside their houses?- some people have flags hanging yes. since 9-11 people have been showing the colors more. but not everyone, no.

    12.Is the BBC available on cable?- not all cable providers have BBC. i do however enjoy the movie monty python and the holy grail. that is an absolute classic

    Being wise comes in two parts: 1) having a lot to say and 2) not saying it.

    1. A wimp, someone who backs out of things.

    2. Only Londoners speak cockney, and most of them don't sound any different to the rest of us.

    3. Cricket is classed as a major sport, but is nowhere near as popular as football aka soccer.

    4. Probably English, as you could say Scotland, Wales and Ireland, which are parts of Britain, could be classed as sepereate countries.

    1. A wimp or a pansy
    2. Well, it's just a regional accent, it's just slang
    3. I think so, but I'm not a big fan
    4. I personally don't mind, some though, prefer English

    1. Linguistic differences, just the same as between Newcastle and Liverpool.
    2. Seven countries in Europe, England included, has a higher rate of obesity than the US, and the rest of Europe is catching up fast.
    3. Because all the foreign people who thought they had any right to decide who rules the US pissed off a lot of people who got stirred up and voted, who otherwise would likely not have voted.
    4. Linguistic differences, again. Get over the fact that different places speak different variations of the same language already.
    5. Because it sucks really, really badly.

    You americans, being the yellow bellies cowards that you are, shied away from mortal combat and thus dropped this practice.
    Not so. It was actually an entirely arbitrary decision; in America when the Conestoga Wagon was built the driver's side was changed to be on the left instead of the right. (Or if it wasn't arbitrary, nobody knows the actual reason.)

    1. Why do you call chips 'fries'? <b>Because they're fried potatoes, and they're thicker than potato chips.</b>
    2. Why are you all so fat? <b>Stereotype. But there are a lot of fast food places.</b>
    3. Why did you elect Bush...agian? <b>The only other 'choice' was Kerry. Duh.</b>
    4. Why do say aluminium really strangly? <b>uh-loo-mih-num. How do you say it?</b>
    5. Why don't you like the Office? <b>Actually, I've never seen it. Nothing beats Monty Python, though ^_^</b>
