Sir and/or Ma'am I have done nothing to you to warrent this level of hatred. Other than make fun of your outs and abouts and sorries. And the Maple Leafs. Go Bruins.

Fuck the Maple Leafs alright

[–] PeteZa@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Yes. I will keep driving my old BMW as long as I need to.

You boycot american products because you think you are american.

I don't because America is a continent not a single country.

Hi, nice to meet you. Where are you from? America. Oh, like Mexico or Chile?

It's always fun to see their faces :)

This. I’ve gotten some pushback on it, but I believe the US shouldn’t own the term “American”. I say that as a US American.

They don't "own" anything. In multiple languages another correct way to name them is the equivalent of Unitedstadian, this is true for French and Spanish.

I’ve noticed a significant drop in people using the phrase “America bad” as a mocking jibe, since it no longer really works as a hyperbolic statement.

[–] CapriciousDay@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

It's too easy to reply "it is" at this point for sure.
