    I'd rather get gonorrhea than live in any country that has the DMCA.

    By and large the people are very talkative and friendly. They don't tend to hold doors open for you and (national stereotypes ahoy!) I'd say the people aren't quite as polite as they are here in Britain. That's the feeling I got from Florida anyway. I also know that on one day during any fortnight, there will be a thunderstorm and you'll get drenched; most likely on the day when you happen to be wearing shorts and t-shirt. Otherwise the weather is really nice, sunny and hot. It's a rather nice country to visit, even if I've only been to touristy Florida, but one I'd enjoy visiting again.

    90% of Florida's population is Canadian, and old enough to speak Phoenecian.

    From what I've seen of people and those on the News I woulnd't live in America even if I was paid Howevere I do have to study american culture and literature, some are interesting but nowadays it's just meh! Americans at the beginning were british puritans, but they didn't firt in Britain society so they went to the new World with the hope of a better land. They just made mistakes after mistakes -.-" They at the neginning thought of making something like a "city upon a hill" but with the developments of the laws in Britain, they actually build a paradox, America was consider a new world full of oportunities with an open mind but unfortunetly it nevere worked fully like that specially with slaves! Neither nowadays! The truth is Americans since the beginning thought they were the choosen of God! And I think some people still think that! Also this explains why most americans are really religious, it all comes with their past!

    I still prefer Britain!

    I know that Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Virginia are actually commonwealths and not states. :o
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    Louisiana follows the Napoleonic Code, also.

    I'm sorry I pick on the rest of the country, Hsu. xD I've never really been to most of the other places, so I admit my opinion isn't the most valid one. I just got a really bad impression of the other places I did go to, like Washington DC, which was a ghetto crap hole and makes me angry every time anyone insults NYC for being "dangerous" and would let there kids walk around THERE, but not in NYC, and Virginia, the only place in the South I've been, because it was miles of fields and a tiny scary old house ever 10 miles, which literally did make me sick with worry while we were driving through VA. Even Baltimore was a crap hole. A really pretty sea-side crap hole, but there were bums EVERYWHERE. And not the funny whimsical ones that we have. They and DC had the holy crap aggressive ones that chase kids! All of my experiences near and below the Mason-Dixon line have been bad ones. xD Besides, I pick on NY all the time. Red Pill and Denmark are lovingly harassed by me for living in upstate New York with the freaking Canadian mounties and farms and stuff. <3 It's not just the south and midwest.

    I've really not been to a vast majority of the US. I've been to more places overseas than here, tbh. So I'm just joking around. I'm sure I'd like it more if I've been to those other places. North Carolina is like, NYers who want slow pace central. Some of my family is down there. Maybe I'll go sometime. I'll cool it with the jokes then, mistuh hsoo.

    o__O Either you live in a wonderful, amazing part of Britain or you visited a very different America from me. They were infinitely more polite where I went than here in Britain.

    What is it like in America? Is the scenery more clearer like in the movies? That always is in my mind.

    Happy Birthday to Me

    I wouldn't say there was a great deal in it; you get some miserable, impolite people wherever you go. Just the impression I got anyway.
