Arrogance.

But seriously, their investment in youth sports and green spaces for them is for a lot of the country incredible.

I didn’t know that? I thought it was in the US only. But yes, just like a GIVE WAY on left

Also. Use any lane on the freeway to overtake. Cuts away the lane hoggers we have over here that don’t move from the middle. It just makes sense.

They have all the advantages but only take a couple there of bits of trash.

If you remember there is 52 country in one that's a small Empire.

"Telling the world they are the land of the free and only getting 2 weeks holiday a year, half of what we get over here. They can keep their freedom and poor public transport infrastructure. Oh and the transportation people prefer vehicles because of the long distances to travel. "

Transport infrastructure within cities are fine… Boston, New York, Washington for example you don’t need cars… LA is one of those cities where you do!

Getting from city to city is the issue where yes you need to fly… but if you have leisure time, going coast to coast on a train is one of the most spectacular things you can do…… New York to Chicago on an overnight train… then Chicago to LA on a 3 day train

4 days on trains…. 4-5 hours ish flying back!!! Lol

To the rest of the world, a Yankee is someone from the USA.

In the USA a Yankee is someone from a Northern state.

In the Northern states a Yankee is someone from the North-East USA.

In the North-East USA a Yankee is someone from New England.

In New England a Yankee is someone from Vermont.

In Vermont a Yankee is someone who eats apple pie for breakfast.

Do you serve chitlins? I also draw the line at those although I eat haggis, so I probably shouldn't judge.

It depends where you say or do it? In London people will look at you like you just offered them a plate of digshit.

People are more stand offish and quieter than they are in the USA.

But yeah it kind of depends where you are. Like over there too, there's a lot of douches in new York who wouldn't be mega friendly.

Not so much misery...more purgatory!!!

So, its fair to say some people/countries love to hate the USA. Protests, burning flags, etc.

But when theirs a disaster or war, they scream "why isnt America helping us?"

"I think its funny when US comedies take the piss out of British dentistry..

I seen a lot of Youtubers showing Americans what free healthcare, from the NHS is like over here in Blighty, but, the videos don't mention dentistry and the mess Thatcher's 1980's health cuts did.

This branch of the health service is woefully detached and underfunded.

Changing surgeries requires a another set of X-rays and starting anew...no record sharing here.

Which means there is a massive problem finding a decent surgery that will take on fee paying adults, even people on certain benefits don't get free dental treatment.

So when it comes to oral health we are faced with the dilemma of health or wealth, the fact that that keeping a healthy smile is so expensive, for working adults, is the only time us Brits get to experience the health care issues you Americans face for all of your healthcare.

Yes, children get free dentistry here.

There is talk, in our media our American firms wanting to buy our NHS and use it for making a profit.

This is a very sore point in the press and media as a whole.

Overly white teeth do look wrong and according to one former dentist of mine, dental whiteness should match the eye's whiteness, otherwise the white balance is all wrong.
