I knew it! Your completely surround by......
I didn't do that. I think I'd make a pretty good American.
Wait for it
sure
we have plenty of retards and you will fit right in
but i dont think someone like pelosi would like you trying to take her spot
How much did you take Vegas for
it has long been known that Americans are generally far more agreeable in person than they are on the internet
i think part of it is that the culture is just so friendly and enthusiastic, especially compared to us Brits
I remember always being blown away when visiting the US at how straight up NICE everyone was, even staff in shops and restaurants were over the top friendly. Even if it's not genuine, it creates a certain impression
that superficial impression doesn't come across when typing on the internet
i think another big part of it is that we're more likely to talk about real shit than trivialities when we're online - therefore, there is wider scope for disagreement and slight differences in culture being magnified
in person it's hard to ignore the fact that we're all mostly the same
and i imagine most of us are generally fairly decent friendly people
but online the small differences are magnified...and because people are people, we are dicks to each other...
I was trying to write this whole post without having a dig at America, but i can't part of the answer to Mitch's question is that you guys are generally quite arrogant - due to the way American history is spun in schools and the mega patriotism culture - and so you find it ludicrous that most of the rest of the world doesn't think the same way as you on stuff like gun control, healthcare, etc. And we generally feel the same way, but reversed ;>
and so we all get on much better in person because you generally don't talk about all that shit...when us foreign fucks are in America we're just like 'great food, hot women, good weather and scenery, friendly people, this is awesome!'
the end

Nailed it. I got nothin'
Tbh, I have found that all people wherever they are from are generally awesome. It’s the noisy whiny fanatical minorities everywhere that suck.

Americans are by and large friendly and enthusiastic IRL and most of them are similar online. It's only a subset of people that turn into Mr. Hyde on the internet. TW is not a representative sample.
I can vouch for this. True story.
