Well with half the population being female.. :roll:

Never had tea (as in the drink) in my life! For me tea = evening meal.

Dunno about the teeth thing really, seein as lotsa teenagers have braces? I never had them though, all my teeth are naturally straight whew.

My stereotypical* image of Americans is lazy, fat, slobbish aggressive patriotic yanks, but thats Ricki Lake's and Jerry Springer's fault :P

*I'm not saying thats what I actually think, its just the stereotype

Yes, tea = evening meal. Tea the hot drink is vile. People in the UK might have crooked teeth alot more in America but thats because braces aren't a fashion accessory or seen as 'cool' over here whereas over there were led to believe it is (99% of amercian teenagers seem to have em).

For all the brits that have crooked teeth though, i'd be willing to bet obese americans outnumber them 10 to 1 :)

Do you like sprouting lies? No, not 99% of teens have braces, in fact I'd say it lower than 30%. But then again, you wouldn't know shit about the US considering you haven't been here.

Oh, again the obese comment. Wow, and you think we have nobody with anorexia, bulemia or other eating disorders here? Alright, I'll do another comparison.

The obesity is nothing compared to the random murders and unapprehended ones in the UK. There's about 12 ghosts in the Tower of London, and London is actually the most haunted city in UK.

Now, I predict that your going to make some kind of sarcastic comment about our government. Typical behavior from you fairies :\

Canada sucks.

It looks like paradise from outside view, inside it's very stupid...

Alberta is possibly the only good place in it :\

America - Obesity-central
Australia - "You want some fosters while I put the shrimps on the barbie?"
Wales - Sheep-shaggers
Canada - "Dude, if you don't smoke weed you're a pussy"
South Africa - "Saath Efrica"
China - Yellow / Chinks
Japan - Japs / Nips
Indian/Pakistani - Paki ('paxi' if they are driving a taxi)
Jew - Foreskin
New Zealand - Kiwi

Please do not take any offence from the above - it's nothing personal to anyone.

I stopped taking offensive of the idea that 3/4 americans are obese ... it's the basic stereotype that was used a long time ago. The only true fatass city is Houston ... otherwise that much obese people are hard to spot in the US, trust me. But what do you know, you're a bunch of limey faries ;|

You guys do know that ghosts don't exist, so there's no point worrying about "haunted places"

Well, EVERYONE in the US doesn't like being called yanks. Anyone in kansas or below isn't a yank, but those above are yankees.

As for ghosts, I know they exist, regardless of soul or science.

No, you are all yanks, a yank is an American.

Some how I doubt you're going to start calling a person from England a east ender any tiem soon, so you'll have to live with yank. ;)

No, that's where you are wrong.

The term yankee was derived during the civil war as anyone above the confederate states, the Union army.
