    Thinking other countries cultures are epic but your own is a load of shit

    Just something I seem to have noticed. There seems to be a lot of people thinking that Britain/being British would be epic. Meanwhile, I stare at them oddly and wonder why on earth they'd want that. And we think our own culture is well...dull.

    A lot of us over here think the American culture is pretty epic, and would like to be American. Seem to see a lot of American's going "And Why the hell would you want to live here?"

    The same being said of France. And Australia. And pretty much anywhere in the world.

    Although there is always the people who are overly patriotic about there country and love it to bits. Ugh, that's an odd one over here. We short of struggle with the concept of patrioism, and end up muttering something about god saving the queen or something when it comes to a national anthem. And nobody really has a clue what the words are.

    Just something I've noticed. And felt the need to share for some reason.

    The grass is always greener on the other side, I suppose. Personally, while there are aspects of other cultures I appreciate more than those of my own, I think that no matter where you go it'll ultimately end up being the same bullshit with a different wrapper. I might be a bit of a cynic and pessimist, though. ¬_¬

    we sort of like your accents. did you know that? i didn't know you guys liked ours for the longest time since ours are bland as can be but apparently you do. the accents must have something to do with it. if we talked more the same we'd probably be more boring to teach other. we might get in less fights but there would also be less mutual interest. having different accents is different but not too different. its a good amount of different. like if we spoke another language that would probably be too different. then it would be a bad thing that we don't talk the same way. you guys would be scared of us like how you're scared of the muslims. we would be regarded as the demon child of europe. i don't know if it would hurt our relations that much but we probably wouldn't be the objects of amusing curiosity to each other that we are today.
