Thats because of a small thing called engineering, sure you american clowns dont mind pouring 3 gallons of 'gas' into your car to go from your house to the 'store' but over here we prefer to drive economicaly.

My German car is well-engineered ... no doubt about it. But it gets shitty gas mileage. Really shitty.

That's only because of various import taxes and levies intended to give US automakers a chance in thier home market, along with middle men raising the price at every step to pay for those taxes and levies.

A girl in my brother's class got a Jetta from her grandpa who currently lives in Germany. He bought one there to US market specs and then imported it here himself, ended up being half the cost of just buying one here.

Oh, and easy-skanking, about the hybrid cars thing, you obviously don't know that Toyota and Honda are Japanese car manufacturers...

Yes, the parent company is Japanese-owned.

But Toyota, Honda, and Nissan all run major American assembly plants ... the Camry, for example, is over 75% American-made. And as for the cars they assemble? Toyota has 48% built in the States, Honda 59%, and Nissan 45%. They're more American than you think.

safshep: What's so special about titles anyway?; +40|7056|Minnesota, USA

wow this whole thing got way out of hand. It was intended as a bit of humor (yes I am an american) and everybody decided to take it seriously. By the way all you British out there, I love that thing your Parliament does where the Prime Minister has to answer all those questions. Is it called Question Time? Or is that just the name we have for it over here? George Bush wouldn't last a minute doing that.

HAHAHA we have Question Time here in Australia too but we refer to it as "lets dodge the issue and call each other names time"

You shouldn't have posted that without explaining this concept to the Americans.....

Damn. Someone (easy-skanking) needs to lighten up.

Psssst Squid I'll let ya in on a secret or 3....
1. It was posted a a joke (a little satire if you will).
Main Entry: satire
Part of Speech: noun
Definition: ridicule
Synonyms: banter, burlesque, caricature, causticity, chaffing, irony, lampoon, lampoonery, mockery, parody, pasquinade, persiflage, play on, put-on*, raillery, sarcasm, satiricalness, send-up*, skit, spoof, squib*, takeoff*, travesty, wit

* = informal or slang
2. Im happy living where I am and every other Australian I know is happy living here too. I actually HAD to go live in the USA however it was not by choice but rather with my fathers work when I was younger. Whilst it was a great experience and you do have a great country I would never live there again, however I happily visit friends from time to time.
3. I served in the Australian military which gave me a great opportunity to meet and serve alongside some of Americas finest sons and daughters. It amuses me that whilst "On Tour" in various places in the worlkd these people managed to have a great sense of humour despite the hardships we shared yet many people from your country fail to have the same affability (af·fa·ble ( P ) Pronunciation Key (f-bl)
adj.
Easy and pleasant to speak to; approachable. ) here on something as harmless as a public forum board.

I guess basically all Im trying to say is yes I know your country and like it, yes I know your people and like them but relax we Australians make fun of everyone including ourselves...learn to laugh life aint that serious.

It really does suck that so few people in the world know how to take a joke. The world would probably be a lot nicer place if they did.

Actually we would probably get invaded and overrun coz then they would realise we would be to busy at the beach, down the pub or in the TAB to bother fighting back.

Despite the fact I would be hated for being a 'pommie', I think I'd like to live in Australia. Other than the large spiders of course.

You -1 me because you have a poor sense of humor? Interesting how you can write this long post bashing the US and when people start writing you back- your defense is "learn to take a joke." How about you learn how to tell a joke. If the only way you can be funny is at the expense of others, then go buy a jokebook. Learn to tell a knock, knock joke or something. But grow up and realize that if your only way of being funny is to trash someone else, then you're not being funny.
