And obviously if you ask some poor bastard in any random shithole country, if they could live anywhere else in the world, they would answer America. Thanks Hollywood.

That's idiots in general. Stupidity is international. It's that the USA is celebrating it.

Last week my student, a 13-year old girl, walked off from my class saying she doesn't need to learn English because she's moving to work abroad. I asked where and she said "London. But I'll be working at a Polish store." She doesn't even know what Brexit is.

the advice to "say you're canadian" has never been stronger. i don't meet many americans in ireland anymore, but the amount of canadians i meet at bars has shot way up

These people suck though. If you're unhappy with the way America's represented on the world stage, be an ambassador and show people the good. Don't lie.

On the other hand, college kids "studying abroad" in English-speaking countries probably miss the point of a lot of things, and may not be our best representatives.

At least rainbow parties and other bs "omg the teens are having sex :kingsley:" stories kinda make sense if you put yourself in a very fainting couch-mode of thought. But do they seriously expect people to believe there is a (inter)national epidemic of kids eating laundry detergent and inhaling condoms?

lol what am I saying, of course they expect people to believe that and their intended audience buys it 100%.

On my shift of 12 there are : 3 Romanians (We call them Sigani, which pisses them right off, let me tell you), 3 Bulgarians, 1 pole and 1 Scot and 4 Englishmen. Brexit is the gift that keeps giving.

From ‘04 to ‘11 I was working overseas and backpacking during my vacations instead of going back to the States. It took a lot of effort to explain to people that not all Americans were blood thirsty idiots, and that some of them were actually pretty cool, when Bush jr was in the White House. While Obama was in office it was much easier.

I can’t even begin to imagine what it is like for travelers from the US since trump was elected.

I would be like, “we’re just like the Italians. Except with guns everywhere. Guns where all the cigarettes would be.”
