Where Was The Usa Support?????

You missed the whole point of what I said. I never said that going to chinatown is tantamount to going to China. My point is, there are so many differences within our own country (unlike your mostly homogeneous Euro-Countries) that we don't feel compelled to go see yours. We can live in America all of our lives and still not see all it has to offer. England is smaller than the state of Lousiana and Germany is smaller than the state of Montana. They're not that tough to go through forwards and backwards. Now the US, on the other hand, is much larger. So if I lived in one of those small, homogeneous European countries I'd wanna travel a whole helluva lot myself. Living in America reduces the feeling that one has to need to travel and hence many here are not as passionate about it as their European counterparts. I'm not against it, I'll just get around to it when I get around to it. I should be in Brazil within the next year if you must know.

 

you would be amazed if you came to england at the difference in identity and culture.

i have no idea of course but i could not imagine that anywhere in america is as diverse and different than the uk within such small areas.

as an american you would need a translator to understand the different dialects for every 60 miles you travel in some places much shorter than that.

london has 300 languages , i have even heard english spoken there occasionally.

i understand your point , if i lived in the states i would get one of those huge mobile home lorries and travel extensivley.

not to the desert or hotter regions of your climate though.

 

As far as football is concerned, if it's the playoffs we'll do interstate travelling at any costs. For a regular season game we won't venture out of our general region. For instance, I live in New York City. If the Jets are playing the Patriots @ Gillette and I've got tickets, I'm going. Now if the Jets were playing the Dolphins @ Dolphin Stadium and I had tickets, I'd try to sell them.

And College football fans are perhaps crazier due to having actual affiliation with the school.

 

Maybe you feel that way. I wouldn't generalize this though. I travel internationally to see the world all the time. I just don't make sporting events the focus of my travels.

 

Add speedway to that list.

Its sad as **** how its changed over the years.

 

This is merely a single neighborhood in one of the boroughs of my city: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Heights,_Queens



P.S. KG0208, are you a Jaguars fan? If so, what are your predictions for this upcoming season. We're only a couple months away.

 

Dude, what do you expect? Brewster looks like a tough garbage man and fights about the way he looks... I don't think anyone has anything against him but, seriously... Wlad is the man! ... and I'm not exactly a real Wlad fan.

 

Well go to any big American city or heck almost any walmart and you will see the that the U.S. is more culturally diverse than you imagine especially in the big cities. We may not have as much diverity as London but America has always been the standard melting pot that others are compared.

Oh and as you drive through london with your claimed biligual expertise ask the people even Muslims were they would rather live; the U.S. or London. By all the forreign protestors I have been seeing lately in European cities, I would say forriegners are much happier here in the U.S. even if the world does seem to take its anger out on us.

Further, more I think Americans are more open toward differences as seen with our better rate of hiring forriengers. For example, I read that forriegn unemployment and wellfare is vasly higher in European countries. And why is it that everyone in Europe is expected to dress according to the Eurolook while here in the U.S. they more often retain tradition.

What do you have against deserts? They are full of life.

 

i love boxing and i follow alot of other sports i always try to cheer for the home team or the american boxer but if the boxer is shitty i am not going to lie to myself and cheer for him

another thing is i am not gonna spend 10 grand and take my family to germany to cheer for a boxer because in the end i will get stuck with the credit card payments and that boxer will take his 10 mill or whatever and never even knew i was there.

i hope hatton sent thank you cards to all the brits that flew to vegas to watch him and i wonder did THAT make a diffrence in the fight??? because i bet my left one there was a lot more mexicans at that fight then brits.....
