Ignorant Americans

Pretty sure the cultural exchange has gone both ways to be honest, certainly the musical and television influences.
It's far from been one-way.
I presume this was a joke.
My point has NOTHING to do with me knowing more about America than you know about the UK. I don't expect you to know virtually anything about the UK aside from music obviously, but if you don't know where it is on a map then you're incredibly ignorant.
Yes we Americans are pretty fucking stupid when it comes to geography and in many respects international affairs.
It takes a confident person to speak the truth.
Having said that, this doesn't stop our soldiers from dying on the field solving many Europeans' problems everyday...
So the next time there's conflict you Brits can bring your admittedly superior geography skills to the war field, mmmkay??!
PS
Only 17% of Americans even have passports - so the fact that basically 80+% of Americans ever leave North America is probably a factor here....

This should have ended this thread. It'd be funny to do the reverse:
"Zimbabwe is brilliant and knows everything about the world"
Don't be a dumbass. We bring the SAS who were handed many of the key operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Delta Force take much inspiration from the SAS, as do most other trained units around the world.
You enjoy discord don't you? Of all the things I wrote in that thread, I would have thought my response would have been one you at least partially agreed with.
Way to go showing some American unity amidst the Brits....
It's just that I've had my passport for as long as I can remember and I get sick of hearing about it from you.
I would imagine most Americans would have passports if they lived in a cold, dreary, small island as well.
Luckily, people can experience many different types of environments within American without needing to go international.
With the normal 2 weeks of vacation a year, it is a great thing.
Is this the norm in the States?
In the UK I was in a job with the Civil Service and I got 6 weeks plus 12 days bank holiday, all full pay. The norm in the CS is 5/6 weeks.
In the private sector its between 4/6 weeks + bank holidays.
I mean, shit, if working for the man only gets you two weeks leave that would seriously piss me off!
Haha true that. National holidays happen here too but they are shite
There is a lot to see in America without the need to go abroad, but personally I still would.And 2 weeks
It's 4+ standard here.
you're all fag nationalists. who gives a fuck about any nation really. all they've done is enslave their population and continuously dumb them down through "entertainment" all of you, insulting each others nations. should grow the fuck up and, open your third eye.
