A trip into American culture

A Norse is a Norse, of course, or course, and no one can talk to a Norse, of course. That is, of course, unless the Norse is the famous Mr Norway!

@Emil_Stielsson Unless it's the Norse who had intercourse with a horse, of course. Which would be Sweden.

@Ziebenhaub_the_Texan -spittake-

i dunno if its just us, but americans lose their minds over dogs eating peanutbutter.... its one of the countrys favorite things apparently lol, a classic... everyone acts like its the first time theyve seen it every time they do it XD

I knew exactly where this was going the second I saw Norway smacking.

"Guests have a right to test their host"?
Who's philosophy is that? I've never heard it before.
Whomever you are, you're not invited to my house. :P

@Hinoron Exactly.

@ProudHetalian29 Maybe it's an obscure Trumpism?

@Mintie
I do not like, nor respect your current president.
The fact that he was actually elected instead of being the first president in your history to lose an election with zero votes lowered my opinion of American people as a whole a few notches.
Nonetheless, not everything bad about your country's reputation is his fault; he hasn't been in his position of Scapegoat-in-Chief long enough to blame him for EVERYTHING!

@Hinoron Trump has a current approval rating of 41.6, meaning most Americans don't like him either.

@33554432
And where the hell were these 58.4% on election day? >.>

@Hinoron I don't know, but Trump's win makes things easier for Russia, which is my country's enemy. Also he has a good chance of starting a major war, so as a result I didn't want him to win either.

@Hinoron They did show up. Trump lost the popular vote by 3 million. The electoral college apparently didn't care, and elected him anyway. We aren't a true democracy.

@EclipseMaster459

True enough. At the time I wrote that, I knew much less about how that mess of an electoral system (doesn't) work, and how despite hundreds of millions of people showing to proudly cast their votes, only a few handfuls of privileged people ("the Electors") in the US actually get to vote for a president.

...Why does ANYONE vote in the USA at all, ever? Is it just massive ignorance in the total lack of purpose it serves?

@Hinoron Well, we directly elect Congress. Occasionally, The Electors listen to the votes from their state, if the margin is big enough.

@EclipseMaster459

...and then the large industries like oil buy the congressmen off, and they're no longer working for who voted for them. >_>

As to the latter, there's been at least 84 occasions when the Electors voted against the will of their state (and one where said elector was so drunk he voted for someone who didn't exist). That's enough times to say that they basically just vote however they themselves please.

I don't know about Mr Ed, but I know that that WAS how the MGM lion was done. They put some wet dog food on the roof of his mouth, filmed it, then dubbed in some lion roars.

@ShoggothOnTheRoof in fact those are actually tiger roars, which are much louder and fiercer

@SchrodySweden That's an urban legend. Tiger roars are much quieter than lion roars. MGM used the actual roars of the different individual lions it featured in its logo, just recorded at a different time and dubbed. The same roars were also used as stock sound effects in many of their movies and cartoons.

i understand norways situations

Norway looks so confused
