As someone said, it's a good place to visit but I've never had any wish to live there. And don't get me started on that ridiculous tipping-everyone culture they have. The tipping thing is scandalous. The best is when they point at the wee screen on the till which displays a touchscreen with options of what percentage tip you want to add! I wish I had been brave enough to do the "faint to get yourself out of it" trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a tip-c***s-who-deserve-to-be-tipped culture. I don't think I'd integrate very well into American society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 This seems like a stupid thread. The US is basically the size of Europe and, in any event, most of the people commenting will have f**k all to base their opinions on - whether they're pro-US (banana) or anti (everyone else).

throbber Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Scotland is a relatively backwards, small-minded, samey place. The traditional mentality in 'Murca makes it a far more desirable place to live, with a more varied environment and climate to boot. How is Scotland backwards in comparison to America exactly?

Don't worry, I can't see it catching on. Linking some survey to your rant will continue to be the lifeblood of the P & B pedant brotherhood.

The US produces over 70 new nuclear warheads everyday, to add to their extensive collection that can already blast away the earths surface about 50 times over. It's certainly a reliable system for bringing the end of the world, if that's your sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
