Is this normal?

[freescorfr]

Over the past month, since I’ve been on Lit., I’ve had conversations with Americans, the new indigenous of the New World.

I have only ever once had an American friend. He made me laugh so much I broke his ribs. He was a horny bastard and took off with an Irish girl who became a beauty Queen – Miss Rose of Trallee. He used to tell me how much his balls ached if he couldn’t shag her, and I understood this.

It was good transatlantic détente.

That was many years ago. Since then I have lived an American-free existence. It’s possible to do so, even today and especially in France. In Macdonald’s here they use real cheese, so that proves it.

I have had no desire at all to visit the States. None. None

Now I find the question is creeping into my head and I’m beginning to think – I like these people. They’re open, they’re straight, they laugh at themselves, they’re funny, they can write well, they’re sharp, they’re inventive, they feel, they’re good people – and it’s a big place – maybe there’s a lot of them.

I know the imagination does funny things – why we come to lit in the first place.

But is this pure fantasy? Are such thoughts normal? Will it make me go blind? P_p_man – has it made me go blind already? What is reality?

The big question; Is Lit corrupting my faith in Britain, Europe and Greenwich Mean Time?

 

[juicylips]

Why don't you just come out and admit you want to visit America, Ohio in particular, just to fuck me???

It would be lots easier than trying to figure all that other stuff out.

Why would Lit corrupt your faith in Britain?


BTW..if anything you should come here just to see the vast difference in the fast food.

Of course it's normal.... what was the question again?






We yanks do know how to have a smashing good time.




Reguardless of where we are from, we are all the same. We are human. We have senses of humor, compassion, love, patiance, anger, passion, and much more. Just as you do.

 

[freescorfr]

Reguardless of where we are from, we are all the same.

Not right there Flower Petals. You're all totally different.

Look at the posters here.


There's noone here like Juicylips and Dhalgren's magic - It's her Birthday - tomorrow I think must check.


Do you remember that bit in the Life if Brian?

Were all the same!

Yes, we're all the same they all cry.

Then, a little voice, I'm not!

 

[Flower Petals]

Our minds may not be the same, but we are all made of flesh and blood. We are all able to feel, laugh, cry, and be scared. We are all the same in that manner.

Of course it's normal darlin! You've got the cream of the American crop here at lit. Witty, intelligent, well read people who enjoy a good debate laced with humor. (I'm currently pretending there are no exceptions to this rule)

Just pretend ALL Americans are as cool as us, and you'll be in
love with the entire country in no time.

 

[CarolineOh]

We Americans can't help but be different. My Dad's family came from Poland, my Mom's from Ireland. My boyfriend is African-American and my business partner is from Turkey. We couldn't be homogeneous if we wanted to.

Funny you'd mention McDonalds......I went to a McDonalds in Frankfert Germany once and ordered a big mac and a bier.....(yup co-American friends, they sold beer there.....lol) and kept looking at it thinking something was wrong with it.. ...then it hit me.....IT WAS NEATLY PUT TOGETHER.. ...without all the ingredients hanging out all over the place.....

Now I find the question is creeping into my head and I’m beginning to think – I like these people. They’re open, they’re straight, they laugh at themselves, they’re funny, they can write well, they’re sharp, they’re inventive, they feel, they’re good people – and it’s a big place – maybe there’s a lot of them.

Yep, it's a pretty big place.....I've been to over half of states.....have lived in eight of 'em, and there's STILL a lot I'd like to see. Not that I don't want to see more of Europe.....(I lived in Germany back in the late '70's, and didn't get a chance to visit ANY other country.... )

But I'm confused at just what is the question? Would you enjoy a visit here? Guess it depends on where you'd go, and what you'd do.....

People on the Northern East coast, are different from people on the Northern West coast (which is where I am at the moment), and there are good people and bad people everywhere you go......

Then the people in the South have their own differences as well. Each area has it's own cultures and mentalities.....it would be difficult to explain them all.....you'd just have to experience it. And there's a lot I haven't experienced by far.

Yes but come to Canada instead. We've got a more vibrant hip-hop scene, we're cleaner, funnier and the trip will be a whole lot cheaper.

 

[tlkshwqween]

I agree with Pagancowgirl, the cream of the american crop is here. You have a lot of professional people and college educated people in here . Now of course, you do have people like Yayanti and this current dumbass daterape, but for the most part, people in here are as good as its gonna get. If all of America was like this, it would be terribly boring. You need a troll around once in a while to appreciate what you have or who you are.

[Dhalgren]

No no...
Yayati is in Britain.
We take no responsibility for him whatsoever..heh.


I was raised and still live in Los Angeles.
It couldn’t be more diverse.


I'm good with that.



Yup..it's my 35th birthday tomorrow.
I love my age because I’ve always liked being born in 1967.


If I couldn’t be a apart of the “Summer of Love,” at least I was alive to suck up some of that oh so groovy energy.


And I was carded yesterday (bless his heart) so..

Sorry Dhalgren, I have not been here long enought to realize that Yayati, thanks for the spellcheck, was british. I could not tell his accent by his posting. I was usually too sickened by the trash he was spewing to notice a nationality

Define normal!

Define normal!

Actually platicman33, the thought came to me on reading the frustration thread by wizbit9, http://www.literotica.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=75139

who wanks on average only six times a day. - you see the connection - wankers, normal, USA?

Plus I was talking to my kids who all go on about wanting to go to America - to see what it's like. I've not wanted to till I came to Lit.

My thought has always been"Once a king always a king, but once a (k)night's enough"!


Well, what are you waiting for? C'mon over!

 

[KillerMuffin]

It's perfectly normal. You've never actually had the fun of immersing yourself in another culture quite like this before. The normal route includes travelling and being stuck among the natives for lengthy periods of time with no ability to sink back into your "real world" for a little culture-shock stress relief.

That makes the whole world a lot more fun, mediated doses of it.

That and we're really not that much different from you. We just conduct ourselves with less dignity.

 

[Chantal Marchon]

a visit would be nice

There are really so many interesting places to see here and the country is so huge it would take a long time to see it all. Most of the people who live here never get to visit everywhere they would like to.

So the best bet, if you are planning on going somewhere would be to narrow down what things you would like to see the most and from that list chose one or two places that can offer you the most opportunities to fulfill your list. If you would like some ideas, I used to work in travel.

 

[GreenEyedGirl]

There are a few good ones you know!
Just because we are the brats of the United Nations, does not mean that we are all egotistical, ignorant, obnoxious, consumer units!
But truly, America is a wonderfully diverse country that is never without some sort of stimuli. I love it and hate it.
You should come up and see us sometime! (insert Mae West wiggle here).

 

[just pet]

America is certainly diverse and You can even find a pocket of internationals in every large city... i am in Los Angeles... and we have mountains, beaches, desert, and beautiful women to entrance You...

[BustyTheClown]

I agree with GreenEyedGirl -- I love and I hate America. At the moment, and for the past few years, I've hated it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't have a lot of good qualities, good people, good stuff.

<slides over to Chantal, grinning> So you used to work in travel? Can I buy you a beer?... lol Any idea how I could get a cheap ticket to England? I'm a po' ass college student and can't afford the ones that are in the $1000 range...

 

[Chantal Marchon]

Busty

Well actually, I worked more in condos and time shares instead of airlines. But if you just hunt around on the web- like cheaptickets.com and some other places you might be able to get a good deal. Some of the smaller airlines have specials sometimes too. It will just take some digging- also if your insurance for your car is like mine they might be partnered with a company that can get you good discounts. Who knows- there could even be something listed on ebay for someone who had to cancel but had none refundable tickets.

Good Luck.
