I'm waiting for the Europeans to stop being assholes. Guess I'll be waiting forever.

Well 21, you'd have to be pretty ignorant to not be able to figure out what it means. You'd also have to be pretty ignorant to make stereotypical comments about Americans, when everything that happens over here directly affects your life. ;]

eh.

I love how he prepares for it. Even before someone slips up they're waiting. I'm not going to lie though, I have no idea what the hell a flatmate is. Guess it helps when you're born in an area that actually uses these words, eh?

hahaha you people are funny. even though it's not hard to figure out. you fail.

how did u like the American revolution Brit?? or do they not teach it there??

a flat mate isn't a room mate. you don't tend to share rooms with a flat mate. A flat mate is someone that you share bills etc with but you will often have seperate rooms. A flate mate could also be someone you share a house with (under rent) or even get a mortgage with (again without room sharing). As for the unit slur we do tend to use both ºF and ºC without much confusion between the two. We keep the pound and other imperial measurements through habit more than anything else. I wonder why America has not used the yard or the stone though? If you are to use the imperial system surely that would make life easier. (3ft to yard, 1760 yard to mile, 14 pound to stone)

well the same thing applies to the term roommate. I live in a 3 bedroom house with two "roommate" we each have seperate rooms and share a portion of the rent and utilities and honestly it's not hard for Americans to figure out what flatmate means either.

They tried the Euros. They lost money on it.

While I have no excuse for our exclusion of 'stone', we do use 'yards' over here in the states. In fact, in Catholic school we were punished with yard sticks thus beating the system into us.

FYI, the American Revolution was in the 18th century, and we (England) were probably the most influential country during that time, and after it, up until about 1920. It's called the British Empire, dumbass.

...

You know what? It's the ******* 21st century! Stop arguing about the 18th century. America is no better than England and England is no better than America. If you ***** can't figure that out then why do you even care. It's an FML, shut the **** up and appreciate it. Make comments that are not hate comments.

The UK has always had the biggest independence streak of the EU members

Because the French and British were kicking Hitler's ass before we stepped in, right?

I'd say "we" have all saved each others' asses through the last couple of centuries, then. Well done, everybody!

Yay Sirin!!! =D
