Do Americans consider Germans weak and/or effeminate? Or Scandinavians? Slavs?

are we talking about the people or the cars?

Wearing bowler hats and dancing with chimney sweeps = mad gay

Isn't it more British (or rather English) = effeminate but not weak and French = weak AND effeminate and who cares about the rest?

to be honest, i think europeans also think american men are kind of effeminate, no? pampered mother-lovers with their remote-controlled television and indoor toilets.

no, Europe is all weak sauce, just because you speak American doesn't make you special

drinking coffee out of little eensy weensy cups

Well that would be because our coffee actually tastes like coffee, meaning that don't need to drink as much of it.

Jules: Mmmm! Goddamn, Jimmie! This is some serious gourmet shit! Usually, me and Vince would be happy with some freeze-dried Taster's Choice right, but he springs this serious GOURMET shit on us! What flavor is this?
Jimmie: Knock it off, Julie.
Jules: (pause) What?
Jimmie: I don't need you to tell me how fucking good my coffee is, okay? I'm the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping she buys SHIT. I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it I want to taste it.

I tend to think of American men as being either Jocks or Nerds.

There is a perception that the women wear the trousers, sorry, pants in America

lol tasting your coffee, is that like tasting your beer?

European beer tastes, and unlike most American beer it also contains alcohol...

listen, we're too busy running the show to sit around enjoying stuff. that doesn't mean there's anything wrong with tasting what you drink or being proud of your food or whatever, just, you know, you wouldn't have time for that if you were actually responsible for anything besides art or whatever

Many European nations too pussy to even try and fuck up Iraq.

(xpost) So this whole "guardian of the free world" thing is a cover to distract attention away from your weak beer?

I mean, go immerse yourself in some inconsequential aesthetic hotness or whatever, that's cool, we like that sort of thing ourselves once in a while, but if we took half as much vacation as you guys the whole planet would probably crash into the sun

Who cares how strong yr beer is when you invented crystal meth?

Inability to enjoy motorsports occuring on a perfectly round track clear sign of homosexuality

(xxpost) Well as long as you guys have that whole crash-into-the-sun thing handled, I'll think I'll go and have some tasty European food. Because here in Europe it's lunchtime, rather than save-the-world time...

(xpost) Noodle, the Germans invented crystal meth.

motorsports

I mis-read that as watersports.

nothing weak about dem germans.

Actually it was the Japanese, now I've checked. Good work dudes.

Noodle, the Germans invented crystal meth

Of course, but then Americans, Germans, not much difference there, really

Americans invented house music, but (aside from a couple of hit songs) only in Europe did it spread outside specialized gay clubs into the mainstream.

Aren't Germans the biggest ethnic group in the USA?

tuomas that argument is strong evidence for europeans being secretly gay doh.

Meanwhile all your best rappers are girls

NASCAR is the biggest ethnic group in America.

Turbo D was a man

Wasn't he American?

tuomas that argument is strong evidence for europeans being secretly gay doh.

That was what I was trying to say.

who's side are you on!?

No European team has ever won the World Series.

tuomas is on the side of truth, obv

Although only one American has won the World's Strongest Man title since 1982.

No European has ever been the world's champion and held the world's record at sport and math

And when I took our Joel to see the wrestling last month, all the Americans got whupped.

And where are the great European roller derby players, huh? NOWHERE.

euro hardmen live like an average of 22 years longer than american hardmen, clear evidence of softer conditions

Did anyone mention unshaved female armpits yet? How are they weak?

Oh yeah, RuPaul is American, isn't she?

There's one other noticable difference. xp

European sock-puppets better than US ones.

Maybe you people could also bother to tell who the folks in these pics are?

To be fair there aren't two members of the Young Ones who I'd like to smash.

Also, is it true that American women date British men, but British women have little interest in American men? Or is that just among Belle & Sebastian fans?

There's a guy who sometimes gets on my bus who looks exactly like Shipman. I keep meaning to tell him to shave off the beard.

Shipman looks a bit like the Unabomber, right?

(lol couldn't be arsed to look up spelling of Kaczinsky or whatever)

He's the guy with the beard to the right of Ted Bundy

This is pretty OTM, girls with piercing American accents engaging in mindless chatter with their spineless indie prick boyfriend is a popular feature on many trains on the Jubilee line at weekends.

Haha, I thought the people in Noodle Vagues's second-to-last post were Oliver North and that British doctor who commited suicide over the Iraq thing (what was his name?), until I looked at the pic properties.

It's just beards, isn't it?

we send some of our saddest male specimens ever over there and four years later they're back home with a charming selection of half-euro babies

also duh the so called 'second front' they opened up on our grandmothers.

Dude you need to rephrase that.

naw i got it right.

Better zing of people from Suffolk/Norfolk:

"lol your grandmother sucked off an american serviceman"

or

"lol you're inbred"

?

C on Gs.

earnest, sentimental sincerity (American) is coded "feminine" and cool ironic detachment (British) coded "masculine"?

it can be -- but 'cool ironic detachment' could mean jane austen; and 'earnest, sentimental sincerity' covers quite a lot of beardy US (male) rock music...

"We aren't the Brits. We're not the Europeans. We're not the Swedes," says Republican Congressman Duncan Hunter, who is the ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee.

Hunter argues that gays do not belong in the U.S. military because American troops need to be hardened warriors, unlike soldiers in the 15 NATO countries where gays serve openly.

"The Fallujahs of the world, the Ramadis of the world that require heavy combat and lots of fire-fighting capability - those are the places the Americans go. The other countries tend to go to the so-called peacekeeper zones, where they have fewer fire fights and less contact with the enemy," Hunter says. "And the European nations show little will to send large contingents of their military people into dangerous places."

I always get him confused with Randy Cunningham and am so sad he's not in jail.

'hardened warriors' sounds like a good name for a gay porno flick

Yes. And when Europe had bloodthirstily grabbed half the world by the goolies through colonial expansion, it was forced to let go. Ya wimps!

(Of course the USA was the major force that forced them to let go - so we could proceed with our grandiose plans for economic and cultural colonization, that makes no odds, ya wimps!)
