You Are 60% American

Most times you are proud to be an American.

Though sometimes the good ole US of A makes you cringe

Still, you know there's no place better suited to be your home.

You love your freedom and no one's going to take it away from you!

How American Are You?

hmmm

Henglegert Rinkerdink · Sorry... I must have the wrong street.

You Are 21% American

You're as American as Key Lime Tofu Pie
Otherwise known as un-American!
You belong in Cairo or Paris...
Get out fast - before you end up in Gitmo!

BrianS · Still Number One

Somehow Katie is more American than me, maybe I scored low because of the Iraq questions and I hate NASCAR

You Are 48% American

America: You don't love it or want to leave it.
But you wouldn't mind giving it an extreme make over.
On the 4th of July, you'll fly a freak flag instead...
And give Uncle Sam a sucker punch!

Although there was something wrong with this test because a good lot of the questsions were "None of the Above"

Shocking, not only am I American, I'm American, mostly:

You Are 62% American

We should be bombing the hell out of North Korea and Iran too

Truckman · Old. But wise!

Hmmm...Only 86%...Must have been the beer question that threw me off...Ben

"You Are 86% American - You're as American as red meat and shooting ranges. You love everything about the US, wrong or right. And anyone who criticizes your home better not do it in front of you!"

Wow. That's pretty American, dude. I wonder what it says if you score 100%...

JonnyStead · **"I'm Lois!"**

I did this over the weekend and came in at 45% or so - which I think is about right.

29%. Frankly I'm gutted it's that high.

You're stoked, and you know it! C'mon Shaz, time to get back in touch with that inner child of yours!!

JonnyStead · **"I'm Lois!"**

Are we kinda anti-american on here then? I think they get a bad press really...

My inner child is English through & through!

I'm not anti all Americans!

You haven't flamed me too much! And I deserve it (wait until my next thread)!!

The U.S.A. does get flamed quit a bit, even by my Canadian brethren... Hell, even I flamed the U.S. before I moved here...

But here's one thing I will say:

1 Case of Beer:

$48 Cdn in Canada
$17 Usd in U.S.A.

1 pack of Ciggy Cigarettes:

$9 Cdn in Canada
$3.50 Usd in U.S.A.

Erm... Vacation in Canada was fun, but... The exchange rate isn't strong enough for this kind of variance... WTF?

Oh, I suppose I should post a pick or two of Canadian Vaction, then!!

JonnyStead · **"I'm Lois!"**

Indeed - lets see the cool pics!

I guess the difference in price is down to tax eh?

bonniepirateanne · Date: Sep 4, 2006

i love america and the lovely people that live there.. in fact i'm quite sure i'll end up living there one day - hoorah! shops that stay open past 5.30!

We do have those in England too you know, just for the record.

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

Lots of 'em. In fact our local shopping mall stays open 'til about 9pm, so I can not visit it in the evenings after work as well as just at the weekend. Isn't that splendid?

Amazon.co.uk, on the other hand is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

bonniepirateanne · Date: Sep 4, 2006

9!!! my goodness

yeah n. ireland is a bit behind the times. i'm a very big fan of the 24 hour grocery store and walmart..

.. and drive thru restaurants

oh and we need drive thru ATMs at once banks! at once

sha76jam · Cpt Acorn Short of An Oaktree

You know I frankly don't get this whole big thing about drive through's. So, you don't have to leave your car to get your food? May I introduce the concept of takeaways? This marvellous invention means you don't have to even leave your house to get your food.

ddvmor · **I am the Jammie King!**

Drive through ATMs? Why? I don't even use the drive through 'restaurants', so I can't see the need for a drive-through ATM.

bonniepirateanne · Date: Sep 4, 2006

i use drive throughs sometimes, sometimes i dont - takeaway is great, but sometimes you ain't at your house when you're hungry (oh and you have to pay for the pleasure of it quite often).. but anyway the ATMs are awesome..

a) it's safer than getting out of your car and walking up to the machine on your own
b) you don't have to bother finding a parking space (which where i live is a pain in the arse)
c) it's altogether a much quicker and wonderfuller experience

sha76jam · Cpt Acorn Short of An Oaktree

You really do need to emigrate don't you! Please could you take all the other people who are into all these imported American ideas with you? Then we could decide exactly what has been progress & scrap the rest & go back to being British.
'Scuse me if it sounds like I'm having an anti-American rant; I'm not (oh, and I'm certainly not ranting at you personally [no hug smilie!] ), I'm having an anti-globalisation rant, it's just that most of the culprits seem to be American. For example, I have a fantastic Lebanese restaurant near me, it's a wonderful place, but I'd hate to have them open branches on every street corner almost as much as I hate McD's.
Anyhow, cash machines are great progress in themselves, when I was a kid you had to get your arse out of bed on a Saturday morning (assuming you worked/went to school) & go get your cash for the coming week (no debit cards either). Mind you, I bet I'd spend less that way!

I just wish more people would use them!! I hate waiting in line behind people using debit cards on a $3.50 purchase!!
