Welcome to Gaia! ::

They're college students. Going from what my friends and teachers say, this is common in Americans - imagine people stepping off of a bus in, say, Germany or Sctoland and then yelling "WHERE DA CASTLEZ AT" and you have their view of Americans. Apparently this happens a lot :X

Whoo. I went to Orlando last Summer. In Epcot they have that thing were there are all different countries in the world, and the one in England had a tea shop! I've never seen a tea shop, ever. Hehee. I don't like tea, it makes me sick. It also had a pub, a fish and shop (I guess so XP) and..."Ye olde Sportsman." o_O;

Not a national stereotype, but I hate the way that most people see Nintendo gamers as illiterate kids who can't live without their Gameboy and constantly bash GTA and Halo.

I like Halo, although I've never really cared for GTA (I'm not saying it's a bad game though), but I am at heart a true Nintendo fan, and I don't like the way my type of gamer is portrayed. I don't bash Microsoft or Sony; heck, I love FF and I think Halo is the best shooter I've played, but I would appreciate it if people didn't make fun of Nintendo. I despise it when people say that Mario games are for kids (obviously they have never played SMRPG), and when they think all the Megaman games are carbon copies of others (which they aren't; all have their own stories, no matted how close they may seem). Aside from all that, where would games be without the influences from Metroid, Zelda, Megaman, and, especially, Mario?

I just want a little tolerance from people and the promise of equality. Is that too much to ask?

(That ends my fanboy rant-esque statement, since most people will see it that way)

i hate how some ppl are so stereotyped about canada that they think we're all like bob and doug mckenzie and that as soon as you cross the border from the us it's all snowy and we live in igloos and all drive around on snow mobiles all year...parts of the us (other than alaska) are farther north than parts of canada, eejits rolleyes

and one time in gr 8 we were talking about something in class about persecutiong ppl and stuff and i said something about how when the english were ruling ireland they didn't let the irish own anything and such and also didn't even let them speak their own languange and one of the guys in my class said 'what do you mean? like saying me instead of i and stuff' and he was an idiot anyways, but english ppl speak like that and irish is an actual language (also called gaelic) that's nothing like english (a variation is spoken in scotland too) eg. failte (pronounced fall-cha) means welcome, as in your welcome, cead mile failte means one hundred thousand welcomes
