Americans Answer This

I went to the NASCAR race in Michigan for the weekend (I'm Canadian), I'm not really a fan but its cool to see in person and an excuse to get hammered in Obama-land for a bit. But I go out for breakfast one day, and the waitress goes

"Homefries or Freedom Fries"

 I start laughing and go What are Freedom fries? she goes

"American Fries" ,

then a Canadian I was with goes I think she means French Frys. So I'm like ok I'll take some of your "freedumz friez", she wasn't happy and I got my food 15 minutes later then everyone else at my table. Then I heard her call french toast "freedom toast". I undestand you guys like all your freedumz which you seem to think are exlusively American, but where does this end? Should I take my freedom car to the freedom store to buy some freedom dogs next time I'm down?

Sooo the point of this thread, do you guys all actually call french fries "freedom fries" or this is exclusive to Michigan, or Registered Republicans, or NRA members, or what?

sounds like you were at an american themed diner, dumbass. did you happen to notice all of the american decorations on the walls? or the patriotic names of all the other food? i have never once heard anyone call french fries freedom fries or french toast freedom toast.

Or maybe your the dumbass. It was a cafe called Kim's Place, and it was far from American themed. Although everyone in there was fat as shit and they had all you can eat pancakes for $1.99, I'm not sure if that qualifies as american themed....

whatever man. i dont care what people do or call shit in the midwest. and i dont think it matters where you are, if you are out at breakfast, there is going to be a lot of fat people because who else wakes up extra early to eat. in the northeast, we get hammered at night like normal people and go to the diners at three or four in the morning for breakfast and 95% of the people there are average weight.

I'm not american (clearly), but I'm 99% sure you guys don't consider Michigan to be the mid-west. And I don't know if you consider it North East or not, but if not its gotta be pretty close lol.

Keep in mind our country spread from the east, so west was traditionally how they named the states in relation to California and New England.

yeah most people consider Ohio the start of the Midwest, and I think it goes to about Nevada and then theres the west coast. Thats at least what I've always thought

I never thought I had so much canadian pride until I lived in the united states.
the majority of american's think that the U.S. is the land of the free and everyone is jealous of them. In fact it is really only the land of the free to foreigners who immigrate here and go to school, work hard, and get ahead. To everyone else it is a place where you can buy a burger with bacon AND onion rings on it. To be one of the most powerful countries in the world isn't it obvious that you need to lie, cheat, steal, and be one of the most corrupt nations in the world?

If you think the United States is a free country, I suggest you take a trip up to Canada, take a seat on the curb of a busy street, drink and a beer, smoke a blunt and carve your name into the sidewalk and watch while nobody comes chasing after you with a baton.

I guess being the most unanimously dislike country in the world has its plus side as well, in the form of obesity, mexicans, rate of homicide, britney spears and nicolas cage.

the american dream is a false and widely held illusion that it is possible for individuals to attain unrealistic desires

it has nothing to do with ceo's, it's a widespread social failure that never existed in the first place

I certainly hope they pay (though many many times they do not, especially in the ER).
Considering it costs over $250k to become a doctor id rather ppl pay me than some retarded government that has no clue how to handle money and cant even stay out of debt.

If becoming a doctor were much cheaper then obviously id think differently

I am from BC and I have two friends who are going into med school and although it costs a ton up front, if you go and work in an under-served community the government pays back your loans.
There are ways to get it back, plus doctors salaries are impressive.
