America Smarter than Spain [modified]
-
In all fairness to Oxford's Dictionary, it does mention the american spelling. On the other hand, the american spelling for similar words is smarter, because it conveys the actual pronounciation better than the british counterparts. Definately more foreigner friendly. ;)

I think that's a dialect thing. I've heard both sim.. and seyem.. pronounciations by americans. I have real problems with the British (and australian) pronounciation of "can't". It's easily mispronounced as cun't. Such mishaps raise too many eyebrowes for me to feel comfortable. :)

Actually "evangelicals" as you see them represent a very small minority of Christian in this country. A Southern Baptist is not an "evangelical" as you see them. I've also known many protestants in my life (my grabdfather is a protestant preacher) and with the exception of one in college who said the pope has a stupid hat, I've never experienced anything but kindness from them. Being an American and pro-freedom, I whole-heartedly support religious people regardless of their religion (as long as they don't blow people up). That's quite different from Europe where such practice is generally frowned upon.

Free? You dont know the meaning of free.
You must be an arrogant asshole to tell that to an American, being from the UK yourself. In the UK you have "knife amnesites", and will put anyone in jail for 4 years for having a pocket knife. In the UK your police arrest young children of making "racist" remarks. The police in the UK can do pretty much whatever they like if they label someone a "terrorist". Wheras Americans have the right to free speech, the right to be armed (which i am), the right against unreasonable searches and confiscations by the police (but the police do violate this one sometimes).

As are many school children. This whole being armed thing, it's from being too scared to face people physically and hiding behind a gun isn't it? Strangely enough don't have that built in Yankee fear. Yes I have had a junkie come back to my place of work (a pub) with a gun for me.

It does not make you free, but it does give a population recourse against a tyrannical government. Totalitarian governments always disarm the population, so they dont end up like the redocats did 200 years ago.

So if Georgey Boy and his government go more spastic and decide to repress the general public your pathetic collection of firearms will overthrow him and his army full of nukes, smartbombs, F16's, F18's, aircraft carriers etc. Can you people get a clue and realise that when original George, Thomas, Benjamin etal made that rule itfit the technology of the era. If the current government went troppo and had the army onside (as would have been required 2-300 years ago) you have no chance.

Then the McDonalds over there must have improved greatly in the past 7 years. I wish they had alcohol there in 1999 so I didn't care about the taste.

Doubt it, they'd need security to check that every over 30 was indeed over 21 to allow them in to an establishment serving alcohol.

Alcohol zoning is done on a local level. New Orleans (as I'm sure Mr. Falcon will point out) allows alcohol consumption in the streets. So does Savannah, Georgia and various other local municipalities. However, most people don't want a bunch of drunks and drug-addicts stumbling everywhere, so they choose (by enacting their freedoms) to restrict its consumption to certain areas.
You see, thats your ptoblem. You see the public consumption of alcohol as drunks and drug adicts. We see it as family and friends having a picnic in the park with a few bottles of rosé. Thats the difference between the US and Europe. Nunc est bibendum
