U.K. Rules/USA Rules

[NYSandman]

Note that this post has no value. I'm just bored at work because there are no classes in session.

Because so many folks on this site are from the UK, I'm learning a bit more about life across the Atlantic.

Two things have surprised me.
1. You cannot post porn on the net!
2. You cannot buy porn until you are 21!

Here, one can post all the porn they like as long as the people in the videos are over 18. You can also buy porn when you are 18, but you cannot enter a place that serves alchohol until you are 21.

Some USA facts.

1. You can drive when you're 16.
2. You can buy cigarettes when you're 18.
3. You can go to war when you're 18.
4. You cannot buy liquor until you are 21, but you CAN KILL. (see #3)
5. I believe you CAN marry your cousin in some states.
6. Our beer absolutely sucks in every way.
7. Our President is a piece of human garbage who should have been aborted before spilling out of his mother.
8. We are all fat.

Just some fun facts. Can you give me some facts about the UK?

BTW, as a train buff I have the utmost respect for London's subway system, which was the first. BIG respect to Sir Marc Brunel and his famous son for building the first underwater tunnel under the Thames.

I also think British people can be funny as hell.

Regardless of what Jake says, I think Benny Hill was fucking hilarious!

The Beatles were one of the greatest bands of all time.

I do, however, think some British food is weird. Why is there kidney in everything?

I am completely confused about how to navigate a "round-a-bout" both in the UK and the USA. Do you go freakin' left or right?

I heard that they started driving on the left in Britian because it was easier to use your sword when you were on horseback and on the left? Is that true?????

I need to travel over there.

When I do, I want to hit Jake's shop.

The US is shit IMO.

We can legally have sex at 16.
You can get married at 16.
You can marry your cousin.
You can't have gay sex until you're 18.
You can't buy tobacco until you're 18 (recently changed, was 16.)

Not sure about the alcohol stuff, aren't a big drinker.

You can. And the age limit is 18.

He's mistaken something you've said, I think. You can't post porn, as in, you can't put it through the postal system.

 

[NYSandman]

The US is shit IMO.

Well, I cannot agree with you there, but you're entitled to your opinion.

Judging by how we behave sometimes, and the garbage foreign policy we have, I can understand how some people feel about us.

Just don't judge us by the news or our politics, which both suck a penis the size of planet earth.

Meet some Americans. You'll probably still feel the same way.

 

[Colamania]

You do realise Wes is American?

 

[Lil Wes]

You do realise Wes is American?

I thought the same thing.

In a tag team match, I'd take the team of Ireland and Canada over The US and the UK. Here's a question - who is the major leader of both Ireland and Canada? Ask many people from outside those countries that question, and they do not know. Why? They keep their damn mouths shut and run their own country. They don't start stupid shit in the world's biggest sandbox to avenge daddy or steal oil. And they don't blindly follow the US around like a 15 year-old boy follows around a 17-year old trying to bang his left overs.

Don't get me wrong, a great deal is RIGHT with the UK and US, cheif among them is the ability to accept and enact change. But right now, I'd take the Irish-Canadian team over the British-American team.

And there you have it folks, IC25 setting your ass straight.


FACT.

This cracks me up so much for some reason. Its like saying.. whoa, whoa.. hold it butt pirate, you can't fuck him until you're both 18.. but both of you could double team her right now, as long as you're all at least 16.

By the way, on a side-note.. I'm in love with the U.K. for the first two options. I'm on my way!
