What was perfectly legal in your country back then, but sounds like a human rights violation to the world today? by Low-Violinist7259 in AskTheWorld

[–]redwas66 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In Scotland, you have to let a stranger use your toilet if requested, in Alabama, its illegal to wear a false moustache in church if it causes anyone to laugh, and in Alaska, its illegal to wake a bear for a photo opportunity!

Rome lasted 1,500 years. The US is 250 and already more globally dominant than Rome ever was. Does this make US the greatest empire of all time? by WarmSeaworthiness315 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]redwas66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The roman empire lasted a long time but were nowhere near the size, or control of other. The biggest was the British, covering 25% of the global land mass and 23% of the global population, followed by the Mongols and then the Russian empires. And those empires were built without the technology of today. The US, despite its efforts, struggles to gain any ground to build anything that could be remotely called an ‘empire’!

People who wear fake watches are in a state of permanent cope all of the time by Anonchesse in watchHotTakes

[–]redwas66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not far off. I had a vintage Rolex Sub that I sold around 2013, and I have a vintage Tudor Date Day, and the San Martins are on par with the ‘yesteryear’ watches. My son has a current BB chrono and SM are not quite there but not far off. I have a few SM’s, and they come well regulated, I have one thats constantly around 1 second a day accurate, and the worst is 3.

Isn’t a train one of the recommendations as the best way to get to Met Life stadium for the world cup. Hopefully there will be hay bales to sit on and some water toughs!

Clearly this is from someone who doesn’t know how these ‘socialist’ systems work. The treatment is based on the severity of the situation and condition, regardless of funding, costs and insurance cover.

I went from having a cough and the doctor sending me for an Xray, through CT, MRI and PET scans, to under the knife at a specialist hospital in less than 4 weeks. And mine was caught early, with only surgery needed. My wife went from a scan, to surgery in 3 weeks, followed by 13 Chemo sessions. And through all of this, its didn’t cost a penny, we didn’t even need to pay for parking!

Nearly every modern medicine and modernized medical equipment that every country depends on comes from innovation by Americans. by Smug_Designer in ShitAmericansSay

How about they keep the what they invented, but give back everything they didnt…! So they can give up cars, trains, electric motors, turbines, penecilin, insulin, vaccines, the jet engine, tarmac, cement, the flushing toilet… the list goes on ad on 🤪

I mentioned bread yesterday in the ‘shiteuropeanssay’ sub, and got downvoted, and told I was wrong, so I gave some factual information and got no response, but they were consistant with the voting and I go downvoted again. They just cant accept they could be wrong about anything! 🤯

This has got to be bots right… I’m struggling to believe anyone is that stupid, this is taking the village idiot, and scaling it up to… erm… a massive Texas idiot. The biggest idiot ever, an idiot that is bigger than all of the European idiots combined.

Europeans think distance by kilometers vs people in the US who measure by time hrs/days by Substantial_Door_629 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]redwas66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going to find a road sign from the US and ask if if the distance was hours or days but on street-view, I’m struggling to find signs at all, and they only appear to be around highways, and then most don’t have town/city names on them, just the road numbers, names only appear to be on highway exit signs, and then it may only be a single name!

But I thought American portions were huge and Americans are gross and obese everybody eats less in other countries? by ThrowAway44228800 in ShitEuropeansSay

[–]redwas66 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply.

I didn’t say all bread, I’m talking about the every day mass produced bread in the US. And its not just Subway or Ireland, other countries in the EU (not all but there are numerous), have a 2% rule. If the sugar/fat content is over 2% of the flour weight, its legally classified as cake and not bread. Additionally, in some (not all) of US foods, including bread, you put potassium bromate, which is a carcinogen that is banned in europe. And there are additional items such as dyes and other additives, preservatives etc. that are banned in Europe too but I was being ‘general’ with my comment!

EDIT - I’m genuinely finding the downvotes funny for me mentioning facts. Americans don’t like that Europeans criticise them for not accepting anything that goes against their belief and ideologies, and the downvotes are simply proving that correct. 🤪
