In honor ofnit nearly being Independence Day, wibu to tell you

[PratStick]

That Bleu is not a common American name?

That we do have required biology lessons. (Obviously)

Baby showers were never meant to be massive affairs with enterence fees and that I never heard of such a thing before MN. Your mate threw a party, invited your other friends, you ate brownies and were given diapers artfully formed in to a cake.

We also didn't invent "destination weddings" if we did had done, no one would go as we get far less time off than you do. It's also the reason many Americans don't have a passport, nothing to with America being too awesome to bother leaving.

Only a third of us have guns.

I was never taught creationalism in school. It is illegal to mix church and state and we I never took any form of RE. We do not have state funded religious schools. Your nearest school will be a non religious state school.

Any Americans have anything else to add?

Canadians have as many guns per head as their southern cousins do
No they don't. It's estimated at around 22%. Considerably fewer.

I can see its annoying to have people state misconceptions about your country.

I was arguing with with some Americans on facebook the other week who were sure England was basically a Muslim country now. That white people are a minority.
That our police are constantly being attacked and we should arm every police officer.
They didn't get that our police know how to arrest people without shooting them. It was really odd that they had this view of England.

22% is substantially less than 1/3

Are you sure, hun?

Uncontrolled you are being unnecessarily rude. Most of us are aware that colonialism died quite some time ago, and rightly so. However, should you continue to feel the need to patronise us, may I suggest the use of punctuation...

I've seen your anti Brit posts before, UncontrolledImmigrant.

They do tend to make you appear quite bigoted to say the very least.

Someone posted that I have my tongue up someone's arse, and I need to shut up, but you post that i'm being rude?

what exactly is your definition of rudeness

22% is substantially less than 1/3

Are you sure, hun?
I'm not your hun.
I'm also very sure that 22% is considerably fewer than the estimated on third to forty percent.

one third

Er.....yes..... 22% is substantially less than 33%. uncontrolled are you intending to repeat this superiority thing ad-nauseum? I think you've made your point.

well, worra, I do live here in the UK so when in Rome...

If I'm bigoted, I am certainly in good company with the rest of you lot here

BLUE IT IS SPELT BLUE SERIOUSLY THE KID'S NAME IS BLUE

pats down hair and walks away, also disgusted by minimising of appalling levels of gun ownership in the US

Margaret Mitchell named the child in Gone With The Wind Bonnie Blue Butler in 1936, so it's not a new thing.

Susan

I got a C in GCSE Maths.

I can confirm that 22% is substantially less than one third.

If I'm bigoted, I am certainly in good company with the rest of you lot here
In what way? We disagree with some of the things the op has said. Some of us provided evidence. How is that bigoted?

Uncontrolled I'm assuming you are not getting the irony of coming onto a thread that is complaining of lazy sterotypes, and making lazy sterotypes. It'd be funny if it weren't so unfunny odd

Immigrant, you're making yourself look like such a tosser.

Actually, maybe you've done them a favour, OP- look at them frothing away. You've given them the greatest gift anyone can give a Brit- rightoeus indignation coupled to a a stonking great sense of superiority

There's definitely frothing going on while saying it actually doesn't happen.

I did not misspell Bleu, this is to do with several baby names threads recently one including Bleu. A pp tried to call me a racist fbecause she got the names wrong.

Wow you are rude as fuck.

^An estimated 55 million Americans own guns.
The percentage of the U.S. population who own guns decreased slightly from 25% in 1994 to 22% last year.
Between 300,000 and 600,000 guns are stolen each year.
Gun owners tend to be white, male, conservative, and live in rural areas.^

So actually 22% individual owners. In America.

Prat it's funny how you seem to be the only person on the thread who agrees wth uncontrolled's erm.... Interesting viewpoints.

So you didn't even get your one third thing right in the first place.

You can blame Fox News and the president for that one
