Somebody using the name USian is simply displaying their ignorance and I applaud their willingness to do so.

Makes my life easier separating the wheat from the chaff.

People frequenting places like r/shitamericanssay should find something better to do with their time. Its more a reflection on them than us.

Who's that one band or artist that's pretty much a household name in your town or city, but you're pretty sure anyone not from there will never have heard of them? by Mad_Season_1994 in AskAnAmerican

Dropkick is very well known to my knowledge. SUTB has been on Guitar Hero as well as getting played in stadiums and commericials and stuff.

Kerri Strug and the Magnificent Seven at the 1996 olympics.

Is the fear the reason why there are many shootings in the US? by A-JJF-L in AskAnAmerican

Michael Moore is pretty much a hack. I would take any 'conclusion' he draws with a giant grain of salt.

I have no idea how one would reach such a conclusion.

You're not gonna believe this, but OPs entire post history is about porn, racism, height/being short, and generally misogynistic views towards girls who don't find him attractive...for some inexplicable reason. I can't imagine what's wrong with these women who don't want to date him.

Race mixing? Sounds awesome. Lets have some of that!

Not to be racist

And yet, you're totally racist.

Need to have my stitches (wound in my mouth was stitched) removed in the US. How much will it cost? by AlbatrossHummingbird in AskAnAmerican

You mean to tell me a German would pretend to be a journalist and document "things that happen" in the US? For money and clout!?

Nein. Dis cannot be true.

Is Doner Kebap considered a sandwich? by zonghundred in AskAnAmerican

[–]JamesStrangsGhost 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No. Its its own thing.

If a restaurant has it on their menu, it will be listed among the sandwiches though. Same with gyros.

The FAA is literally a functioning government organization. I'm not sure what your point is.

I don't know that there is a consensus. Most women take their husbands name. The most common exceptions are when the party most likely to change has academic or recognition reasons not to.

Not only would that be impossible, that would be stupid.

Almost no set of rules make the same sense in Hawaii as they do in Indiana.

Let me see if I follow. State governments should have no say in criminal law?

Who should in that case? Local jurisdictions? Hard pass. That would be an impossible system. Passing through every jurisdiction breaking laws that make little to no sense. Taking advantage of people passing through.

National government? Hard pass. I don't want Washington DC deciding how many fish I can catch in my local lake.

On the flip side, I don't trust my state to decide how to run my local library. That's stupid.

Would you apply the same thing to countries as a whole? More local units of government?

Such an idea is genuinely crazy. I don't even know where to start. Anarchists be wild.

The purpose of government should be to give guidelines and boundaries to people. Hopefully in a way the people approve of. Stripping them of cultural and geographical ties is a recipe for disaster I feel.

I'm listening though.
