I'm pretty certain that Newakr won't like this, but I just can't contain myself... So, sorry in advance...
That was the most nonsensical list of American stereotyping I've read... Half of them don't apply, the other half just make no sense...
-You know you're an American if Ramon Noodles is all that's in your kitchen cabinets.
Ramon?
-You know you're an American if you wash a pair of cloths everyday.
What? Americans wash clothes a lot?
-You know you're an American if you know the Papa Johns phone number better than you know 911 number
Is that chain even national? Never even been.
-You know you're an American if you take everything seriously to try to make yourself look intelligent (*cough* city *cough* data)
Is that a disclaimer for no one to have fun at your expense or what?
-You know you're an American if you act different with different races
Huh? Act differently? You mean like, melancholy, exuberantly, provocatively...? What if I speak Spanish to a Mexican? Is that acting differently?
-You know you're an American if you watch something on TV you hate for hours because you can't find the remote.
It seems like channel surfing is more the norm.
-You know you're an American if you go out and buy a new remote instead of spending 5 minutes to look for it
I don't know one person, anywhere, who has ever done that...
-You know you're an American if you put a 3cent offering in a charity box and feel great with 100 extra dollars in your pocket.
In your opinion, how much SHOULD people give? What if I need that $99.97 for bills?
-You know you're an American if you don't know all the words to the National Anthem.
And non-Americans do?
-You know you're an American if you have cloths laying around an empty hamper
Cloths? You mean, like dust rags? If you meant 'clothes', isn't that the opposite of item #2?

Jeesh, you took this way too seriously. I know that all of these things are not what ALL Americans do. I'm using the stereotype of Americans as "Lazy", "Dumb", and "Fat"
From the past comments, this one would come to mind for you. You know you're American if you can't take a good ribbing and don't understand good-natured self-depriciating humor!
What a waste of time explaining you opinions on my "You Know You're an American if" "jokes"
I know most of them aren't even merely 2% true but the ignorance of the truth about Americans from many outsiders view would believe or agree with the stuff I mentioned
the point is Americans have it better than most think, and a lot of us take it for granted... of coarse there will be stereotypes

Perhaps, but I just found your list too easy to roast, so it was intended as a 'good ribbing'... You seem to be taking it well enough... Maybe you're not American?

You're probably right about that, but this whole forum has become little more than a way to waste time ever since I completed my own x-country move.

If you use a GPS to drive your gas guzzling SUV across town to the local "All You Can Eat" buffet. While waiting in line, you call your friends on the cell and converse loudly about your personal life.
Then, you go home and sign into Twitter, MySpace and Facebook to tell your adoring fans all the scintillating details about your dinner.
-You know you're an American if you watch something on TV you hate for hours because you can't find the remote.
lmfao. and to the guy who complained about all your jokes, papa johns IS a national chain.. and why did you question "ramon"? if you dont know what ramon noodles are, than your not a true american LOL
.. and why did you question "ramon"? if you dont know what ramon noodles are, than your not a true american LOL
If you don't know the answer to that then it's probably not worth discussing.
