Today's shooting in America thread

[idahoblues]

Well it's mainly because Americans keep whinging (on a UK forum) about their situation. They're like a bloke sitting at the table with four pies moaning about how fat he is, blaming anything but the four pies for his predicament

Eeeerrrrrr, what ?
This whole thread is Brits whinging about what’s going on in the US.

What kind of pies?

Fair enough. More in the media, on Twitter, etc then. Every American problem can be boiled down to the same story. "X would be good. Most Americans support X. Some big corporations are against X. Those corporations buy the politicians and media so X never happens." I genuinely got bored of John Oliver's show because every single story was a variation of this.

What kind of pies?

Meat pies. None of that American fruit shite.

John Oliver is an incredibly slanted perspective who isn't representative of the overall opinons in the US

I don't reckon most people in the UK know much about the rest of the world, to be honest. Just America, because of their media. Hell, if Brexit showed anything, it's that most on the island of Great Britain, including the politicians know fuck all about Northern Ireland, and that's supposedly their own country. How many Brits currently know how the electoral system works in France, or who the current president/PM of Spain or Italy are? And you could blame language, but how many even know who the current leaders of Ireland or Australia are? I still have to look up how to pronounce/spell taoiseach every time, because there's so little coverage of the country that is culturally probably our closest cousin.

Watching quiz shows when a question on UK geography comes up is an indicator of how much Mr/Mrs/Miss average knows about where they actually live.
