fraternal organizations are nothing new to your continent, surely
>90000 denominations of christianity
your continent is to thank for that
>every fifth person is Jewish
false, although many again are here because of your continent
>the whole election process (takes 2 years for a fucking 4 year term and no direct voting)
the only direct democracy is switzerland, and we certainly do vote directly upon things in our own locality, why not long ago it was that I vote in a referendum to halt measures that allow for new residences to be built in my quiet and quaint region

Actually you can choose from a wide variety, it's just that there are only two with a large enough support base heck, Utah had a chance at going towards one of the smaller parties

I'm shocked you would do this when electric kettles exist in abundance, or any range surface, although, it still will get the job done

in general I don't know how foreign politics are, I am annoyed at how many foreigners present their opinions on my own though
>deep frying stuff
this is not at all common outside of restaurants and outdoor stands
>saying they went on vacation to "Europe"
there is nothing at all wrong with this, since it's like saying I went on vacation on the other side of the planet
>talking to strangers in public
yes, people exist, sometimes there may even be circumstances where you interact with them
Andrew Young

Last time I was down four years ago half the places I went to didn't accept debit. It may be different now but Canada's been ahead of the US in that for a long time.
Blake Gonzalez
he's full of shit, I use debit everywhere, there are some places that don't though, there is a small percentage fee on retailers to use the system with the banks for customer purchases
Ryan Wilson
zero store's I've been to in the past have not accepted debit. what kind of shops in a backwater shithole were you going to?

It's not true at all. Nearly everywhere that accepts any form of card payment will take credit or debit.

some elderly people don't change their business model to support it, particularly if they aren't high volume to begin with
there is a bookstore in my town for instance that will only accept cash or check, it's ran by a retired professor

from my personal experience all large towns/cities accept debit. rural areas never seem to though, at least compared to western europe where there is pretty much nowhere that doesnt accept debit anymore.

I've noticed some people are really offended by it for some reason.
Brody Rivera
He's just translated the Polish word directly. "Studia stacjonarne" means you're studying during the daytime and they're free. They have much higher admission standards than non-stationary studies, which are split into two variants where you either have your lectures in the evenings or a huge block during the weekend. They're paid and are chosen by two groups of people - those who already have an ok full time job they don't want to lose and retards who couldn't get the necessary exam results to get into the daytime variant but have parents rich enough to pay for their worthless diploma.
Cooper Roberts
>hardly anywhere in the states accepts debit Not true, I pretty much only use debit, paper money is like a thing of the past for me.

Kayden Miller
Why do Americans do things?
Ayden Allen
I have never been to the USA, so I don't have that many first hand experiences with Americans. But I think the biggest culture shock I've ever experienced regarding the US, is the George Tsunis case which made headlines in Norway a few years ago.
He was chosen as the American ambassador to Norway during the Obama administration, despite being uterly incompetent, and didn't really seem to know anything about our country at all. Insulting as that may be, it was the notion that one could simply buy one self into politics with money that shocked me. All western countries are plutocratic to some extent, but being able to simply purchase positions like that through campaign funding is something I had no idea was even remotely possible in any western country.

This is the american dream, right? Everyone minding their own business and being free to be whatever they want. I think I like that. Anyway, continuing:
>everything is cheap as fugg >seriosuly, if it's not related to health or education, it certainly is almost for free, it's mind blowing >people with shitty jobs can earn a reasonable amount of money >mustangs, cammaros and challengers every-fucking-where, they're also cheap apparently >black people apparently speak another dialect >heavy drugs are more common (heroin, cocaine, etc) than I thought, in fact, the first time I saw someone snorting cocaine was in the US >a lot of good looking people >fat people would use those electric little cars to buy things on walmart (this baffles me a lot) >people enjoy "football" just like we enjoy "soccer" here >muricans are pretty generous and nice overall, they're not savages as I thought they were
There are so many things, but that's what baffles me the most.
