Why are Americans so nice?
So I was going on a field trip with my class to America for 2 weeks and at first I thought it was gonna be dreadful! I have heard so much about Americans being rude and snotty but when I got there they all say "Thank you" and "Your welcome" and if they see you need help they come up and ask if they can carry your bags for you or take your picture! Why does other country's call Americans so rude? And how do Americans stay so nice all the time?
What do Americans think about french people ?
We think the French are very proud of their country, much like we Americans are. We think many of the women are beautiful, and they have incredible cuisine. We also believe that they enjoy and appreciate the things in life that can't be bought with money, and put more emphasis on character and intelligence than Americans. I would however say that the most widely held belief that Americans have in regards to the French, is that most of the French hate us Americans. I've only been to Paris, and except for the usual big city attitude that you'd find in any big city, it didn't seem any different from any other big city. But old perceptions die hard.
Where is the best place to live in canada?
Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Toronto, and Ottawa recently ranked among the top 50 cities to live in the world. If you are looking to immigrate, Saskatchewan and Manitoba currently have programs in place to attract immigrants, and it can be easier to get your citizenship in either place. In the end, it really depends on what you are looking for. Canada, in general, has great public schools. Job prospects are best in Saskatchewan and Manitoba right now due to the rest of the country being affected by the recession. BC has the best weather (warmest winters) and is really beautiful. They are also ranked really well for health care. Alberta is a very rich province and a popular place for people to move in the last 10 years. Calgary can be a little pricey, but is also a really great city to raise a family in. Ontario has a lot of cultural heritage and most of the cities have a great overall appeal, although Toronto is quite a large city, and it can take a long time to get anywhere. However, there are a lot of nice suburban areas around Toronto that are pretty small town ish, but have the close proximity to the city. Ottawa is absolutely gorgeous and has a strong French heritage. Montreal is a great shopping city. If you don't speak French, you may want to stay away from Quebec, though. Although the province is bilingual, your children will likely need to learn French to do well in school, and you will need to be bilingual to be eligible for most jobs. The east coast is absolutely gorgeous with some of the nicest people in Canada. However, job prospects can be a little limited. Wherever you decide, I know that you will love Canada. It is a great place to raise a family.
What do you do if someone calls you a ‘cunt’? What does it mean?
Oh. Well then.That person either doesn’t like you very much at all or has a very close relationship to you. Americans say “fuck” like it’s a casual substitute for a forgotten word, but rarely say the word “cunt.” It tends to be one of those words that denotes extreme situation, or extreme displeasure or dislike of that person. It’s massively offensive, and considered by a vast majority to be a hateful and scandalous thing to say.It’s a special occasion word, used only for those extraordinarily moronic (so that their actions severely impacted others), psychotic, or cruel.Like, the guy who stole $500 from you is a motherfucker, but the guy who kicked your dog, sending him to the vet? He’s a cunt.If it was a woman who received the term, it suddenly becomes all the more fucked as an insult.Why did a part of female anatomy gain such distinction while “dick” is a commonly thrown insult by comparison? With such an offensive misogynistic overtone, it remains a word that truly aims to belittle the receiver. It’s a word that has retained its shock value as a taboo, so using it as such means you genuinely want to empower yourself when used over the other person.I personally think that Western society finds penis related commentary funny, so ‘dick’ and ‘cock,’ while inappropriate, can be more widely used. But referring to sexuality in the States, it’s always tread the line of ‘tits’ are funny (to the point of just absurdly silly- call some one a ‘boob,’ and they are just a cutesy dummy) but beyond that, there’s classical discomfort with feminine sexuality- it has historical significance of a male dominated society. Back in the day, to call some one a ‘cunt’ meant that was all they were really useful for.So, uh… yeah, this is the most I’ve ever used the word in one sitting.
