Comparing how my in laws live based upon knowing how people with similar jobs/education levels live in the US, it's not that surprising.

Are you guys with the hate srs?

I have friends from the US and we joke about all this all the time. But at the end of the day shouldn't we hate on things like ISIS? We share more in common than most countries.

[MancChap]

Lol at comparing gdp per capita. American logic. Things are cheaper here. Australia has gdp per capita of 67k. It's not richer than the UK. Pls try again and post total gdp per state. negged

People bash Americans in the UK all the time with the fat and redneck stereotypes but unfortunately on this forum americans outnumber uk brahs significantly so it will always seem like there is tons of UK bashing
