Its not an obsession but i think its obvious more people in Canada, Australia or U.K will mention America in their daily conversation than vice versa thanks to our large influence on the world, news, power, etc...
Yeah after high school all my friends with separate ways...one now lives in Toronto and she swears all they care about is America, they watch American movies, listen to mostly American artists, watch American tv shows, watch Americans news and so on.

America the fat American trying to rapping his range rover with a gun in his car to threaten people if they cut him off...lol jk its too hard to determine if America was a person, on one side of the country it would be a Mexican on the other side it would be a Italian at the mall...

Not true many of us follow football...yes I know its called soccer here.

America dresses casual, and is outgoing and friendly.

:-D
Would any Canadian or Australian like to add what they think?? lol
As an Aussie speaking to a "Brit".....do you really want to go there?

Since we have the map of Tasmania, we would be a female and look like Miranda Kerr.

You have got to be ****ing kidding me. Your "friend" is either an idiot, or someone you made up.
I live half a mile away from Detroit and I COULD NOT GIVE A **** LESS about what is happening over there.


So, because we watch American programs, and movies, that means all we care about is the utopia known as the US of A?


How about you keep that, by far and large garbage, over there?

Or, how about you guys stop this crazy nose dive? Let's see something positive to watch about America.

Pull the stick back.
