Things People from Your Country Say....

…about other countries that irritate/humor you

Seems like an interesting idea. I have a few.

  1. American football is for pussies, rugby is way tougher. I hate having to point out that enormous genetic freaks who weigh in the hundreds of pounds flying into your head at speed might be tougher than the still very tough challenges rugby has

  2. America want to police the world. While this may be true, I hate people who say this and then defend the british empire as having “brought civilisation” to the people it colonised. The irony is always funny.

  3. Italy is very cultured and the people are much more sophisticated and deep. This is such crap, the same beer drinking louts and scummy crappy resteraunts here exist there too. Leonardo Da Vinci and a few statues does not mean the wine is better, the pizza is tastier or the people are less boring and simple.

By the way I am from England and I thought I would just name three so any fellow Brits don’t think I hate everyone here :slight_smile:

In all seriousness, I’ve wondered what pizza in Italy would taste like.

Isn’t it from China originally? Or is that something I just pulled out of my butt?

Marco Polo brought it over from China…or at least that’s the legend.

I think Amanda Knox single handedly demolished any such argument anyone could try to make.

Beer is not really a huge staple in Italy, and the crappy restaurants are for naive tourists who will pay for lousy overpriced food.

A tip from a well traveled bastard, eat where the locals eat. If there is a menu written in English outside the restaurant, walk away.

The pizza in Italy is outstanding, just make sure you follow the above rule and you’re set.

Thanks for the tips. Far cry from Little Caesar’s, isn’t it?

There is no pizza without tomatoes, NO THERE IS NOT; and tomatoes come from America, which was not discovered until after Marco Polo finished his journey.

So there.

where I come from, the word “cunt” is a term of endearment. This means I occasionally let it slip into polite conversation with people not from here, much to everyone’s horror.

and pizza couldn’t be from China. When have you ever seen Chinese cheese?

I thought of one.

When people visit insanely poor places and only go to the resort and come back and say; “the people there are just so laid back, the quality of life was so good”

Yeah motherfucker they are literally laying back because they are hungry and they got no fun shit to do.

I remember going cuba and seeing poor people sat around all poor and angry at tourists on the bus ride to the hotel. The looks of daydreaming Cubans dreaming about robbing pudgy white tourists and staying at the hotel in their place drinking pina colada was very wierd.

The Brits and Aussies like to smoke fags.

If you do that in Murica, you can get into some trouble~

Shagging balls in Murica is when one would be practicing baseball - Shagging in Britain is another story~
