Rubbish

Everything is rubbish in America, a friend advised me, trying to dissuade me from my intention to emigrate there. As he had never been to America, I did not take him very seriously, then: now I take him more seriously, but it is too late.

Cheap things

In the US there is something for everybody (and every pocketbook). But, the difference between cheap and expensive things is not only quantitative, but qualitative, as well, since cheap things – as a rule – don’t work!

How to get rich in America?

One of my acquaintances (hmm, there are people like that) told me this: “I would go to America only to get rich”. Since neither she nor I have been there at the time, I took this as an ignorant attitude. However, later, through experience, I became convinced that she was right: but I haven’t gotten rich yet – I don’t know what I’m still waiting for.

Deception

How come Americans never catch the main character they are chasing in their wars? It seems that the main evil character is always used to convince the public at home that the war is necessary, only to be forgotten, once he/she serves that purpose. It is amazing how this scenario always works!

Politicians

American politicians would never be successful in Europe: they are too stupid, unsophisticated, and arrogant for that. On the other hand, European politicians also don’t have a chance in the US: they have scruples.

On average

On average, Americans are one of the most disciplined nations: this fact is not surprising, since the disciplining took the longest, and was most intensive, as well.

Comparison

For Tolkien fans: don’t you think that the modern-day USA, in which everything is boiling with hyperactivity, resembles Mordor? Or at least Isengard?
