[quote=“TomHill”][quote=“JAS”][quote=“TomHill”]McDonalds in America is scary.
And no-one in America understood the words ‘Im on holiday.’ You have to change it to ‘I’m on a vacation.’[/quote]
What are you doing eating at a McDonalds on your vacation? I love the hypocrisy of these Europeans that bash McDonalds and yet frequent it regularly when they go on vacation.
Let me guess, you have a secret fetish for McDonalds ladies with fry fingers?[/quote]
I have spent about 4 months in the states, so the odd McDonalds meal is inevitable. Not a hypocritical thing at all really.[/quote]
I wouldn’t say that. The last 10 years I spent in that country did not see me inside one.
If I can go 10 years, you can go 4 months. You went in there because you LOVE GREASY FRIED FINGERS!! Admit it.

I was a vegetarian at the time, and the fish sandwich was a cheap option for a back packer.
OK, leaving out the Irish, this is funnily ironic. None of the white Anglo culture in South Africa, NZ, Australia, or Canada is originally part of your countries, it forced its way in by imperial conquest!
It’s telling that those four countries are the four countries in the world most concerned about American cultural imperialism. It’s because as relatively recently formed immigrant societies, their cultural identity is on shakier ground and more fragile than most other countries’ identities. The Chinese and Indians and Japanese don’t obsess very much about American cultural imperialism. In Taiwan, the Taiwanese know that American TV is no threat to them; it’s not going to supplant 5,000 years of Chinese culture. Australians like you do feel threatened, and with good reason - your culture has shallow roots and can easily be uprooted. If you really had faith in your own culture, you wouldn’t need to feel insecure.
