Comparing a country to a continent?

Come on now, they were being silly, but you shouldn't respond in kind.

[tyger66]

Regionally, cultural differences in the USA can be massive. Going from Southern Alabama to New York City is really like being in a different country.

[(Anonymous)]

Same insular arrogance and stupidity, different accent to express it with.

[tyger66]

Oh man, thanks for that. I really enjoy it when people call me stupid.

Can I ask what accent you use to express your stupidity? So I know how to discriminate properly.

[ill_omened]

It's not.

Like yes you have huge regional differences, welcome to every country ever?

But it doesn't compare to say the difference between say a person in France and Bosnia. Not even close. And there's a reason the only people you'll ever see making this argument are american.

[tyger66]

Idk, maybe it's because unlike some other large countries, we have clearly defined separate states within the country. And people from different states discriminate against each other just like we were from different countries. I've had people from the northern US ask me if we still have slaves in Alabama, for instance. Also, each state can have a completely different set of laws. So for us, it might not actually BE like different countries, but it sure as hell FEELS like it. So...I'm sorry, I guess??

[(Anonymous)]

Do you think the difference between Alabama and Alaska is as great as the difference between Alabama and Spain though??

[tyger66]

No, but it might be the close to the difference between Alabama and England.

[(Anonymous)]

"Idk, maybe it's because unlike some other large countries, we have clearly defined separate states within the country. And people from different states discriminate against each other just like we were from different countries."

And it's the same in other countries. So?

[(Anonymous)]

Just like regional differences in a European country can be. Smaller doesn't mean less diverse.

(but yeah, obvious troll, don't worry about it)

[(Anonymous)]

Oh god, you went there. Didn't we just have a huge wankfest about this same exact topic? This will not end well.

[tyger66]

Sorry I probably missed the previous wankfest. I tried to clarify in a reply somewhere upthread, but I don't know if I'll recover from this one. >.

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT

I'm not even meaning to blame you I just know the trolls will come out of the woodwork and wank will explode. Consider yourself lucky to have missed the earlier one. It was probably awhile ago.

[(Anonymous)]

tbf, though, any wankfest is probably more the responsibility of the person who started the thread saying that the world hates America because of their prudish dislike of loli and shota, not Tyg

[tyger66]

Nah, it'll be my fault. I posted some poorly worded shit up there. :/

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, wow, the range of official languages, historical backgrounds, regional art forms and folkloric traditions must be immense.

[(Anonymous)]

...actually, there is quite a range.
And this is coming from a European. America is a very, VERY multicultural country. A lot of us don't realize it until we actually go there and spend a good amount of time there how varied it really is.
You are forgetting that America is a land of immigrants and has its own rich history. Don't be ignorant.

[(Anonymous)]

Well the US is as large as Australia, and like Australia is filled with horrible poisonous critters. I believe Americans call them Republicans.

[(Anonymous)]

Oooohhh, snap!

[(Anonymous)]

Not all Republicans are haters who gon' hate.

I thought we had this discussion earlier this week

NO, I am not a Republican. Yes, I've known some awesome people who are.

[(Anonymous)]

omg where

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, it's true. Not all are haters. You'll find some very decent ones (politicians) on the local and state level.

But as far as grabbing national seats (Congress) or a presidential nomination, well, even if you *were* a sane Republican politician, nowadays you gotta crazy up a few levels.

Even the Repub. Party has admitted they've become the crazy party, and are trying to change by "presenting their message" better.

Apropos of nothing, within the last week, a Republican (national) senator from Alaska refers to Hispanics as "wetbacks." And North Dakota restricts abortions to six weeks.
