Mohammed Soliman,

[@axshunjaxon4561]

I love hearing the arrogance decline as Europeans react to American videos. Media shows the extremes of America so often that people think it’s the norm. There’s nothing entertaining about “My 200 pound life” or “ 20 minutes of people naming countries”. It’s like they take “the joke” seriously.

Regarding obesity, you have a comparison of people in the UK that they see in real life vs individuals from US reality shows about people who are extremely overweight. Every country has those that weigh too much and those that are unhealthily thin. You should have fewer firm opinions if you've never lived in the US.

[@miniard11b]

@@Inquisitive_NomadThat is hard to say. How many people did they interview to get the desired wrong answers? Most would be able to tell you multiple countries. People seek out those that can be used to make a certain impression so they can obtain views and support their narrative. On the reverse side, how many Europeans would be able to name multiple state names, cities names, where Boise or Wichita is, etc. We all know what we interact with and need to know on a daily basis.

[@kikibigbangfan3540]

Y'all are so misinformed. The Uk is only 8% behind America in it's obesity rate...36% to 28%. Which means y'all are catching fast, up considering your population is much smaller. Secondly, you fail to acknowledge the wealth gap or socioeconomics in the States, which is a major factor in determining someone's weight. Because of what they eat or lack thereof. If you are poor, then you will not readily have access to healthier more costly food choices. And being overweight isn't necessarily about overeating ( portion size). It could come from actually undereating and having poor diets...i.e. lack of accessibility.

[@justsaying6654]

[@cedcole702]

Unfortunately, a lot of that catching up is due to American restaurants opening up all over Europe like McDonald's and KFC etc.

I’m an American who lives in England(not by choice) and the NHS sucks(UK “free healthcare”). I would rather pay my insurance premiums from my job and have better hospitals, shorter wait times and better care in the US. Accidentally cut my hand and was heavy bleeding on the floor and was told to wait an hour for an ambulance. Near passing out from blood loss, i had my 8 month pregnant wife carry me to the car and drive me to the hospital.

[@Silky808]

That’s also the thing in Europe and England they love their “free” healthcare because they don’t know any better. Had my first kid in the US, the hospital was great, private rooms, great staff and top notch care. All payed through my insurance at work. Had my second child in the UK shared rooms, dirty facilities and not the greatest care( payed through ridiculously high taxes). We were also at one of the “nicer” hospitals in the area.

[@blanketstarry7725]

@@Silky808 My wife became pregnant when we didn't have insurance, and we were able to get some sort of insurance before the birth. It wasn't great insurance, because that's hard to get after you are already pregnant. But our out of pocket expenses for the birth was probably less than $1000. I've seen people say that births in the US costs people $20,000...I don't know where these numbers come from, but they are hogwash.

From my experience, most/all public High Schools (secondary) and Colleges/Universities do require you to take secondary language. I would guess Spanish is probably the most popular with French in second (just a guess) but that could vary depending on where you live.

[@berktv2936]

I’m in my late 70’s, and when I was in the 7th grade, we had to take a second language - either French or Spanish which continued through high school. So I had 6 years of French. When I was in the US Army, I took a test an qualifed with Freanch as a second language. When I when to university, there was a foriegn language requirement, so I took another two years of French (French Literature mostly).

[@bigrichie6766]

spanish is absolutely the go to second language in the us, makes sense since spanish is the second most spoken language in the entire country. Most people i knew took spanish atleast a couple years in my hs personally.

Guns - I live in the State of Ohio, U.S.A. In Ohio, citizens are not required to have a license to carry a handgun. Not in the open or concealed. This is a deterrent to someone thinking about committing a crime. Also, if someone shoots at you, at least you can defend yourself.Because of our guns, we have the largest standing army in the World, which is another reason that no Country could ever invade American soil.

[@ChronicExcessiveManliness]

The USA has millions and millions of square miles of range land, forest, desert, farms, ranch land etc. We have cougars, rattlesnakes, bobcats, bears and on and on that attack livestock, cats, dogs and in some cases, humans. Most of the people that carry guns on them, or have them in a gunrack in their truck are rural people, mountain men, ranchers, hunters etc. The vast majority of us are *not* NRA nutcases, and in many places, we don't lock our homes or cars, and have little to no crime. Yes, we have guns, grow up with them, but the majority have nothing to do with violence or mass shootings, and deplore those that do.

As an American many many of us know a lot about geography & other facts about the world. These videos that show how dumb we are are just crap that content creators make & only put the ones that support their narrative. Also as an American. Many of us just don’t care what other people or countries think of us. We really don’t care. Sometimes it just sounds like people are just jealous or angry at us or of their own lives. I have never been to Europe & don’t want to go. Don’t care about your cultures or anything about you. I’m not saying this out of anger or spite. I just don’t care. This country is so versatile in its geography & climates that I get everything that I need from it. We also have the Caribbean & central & South America. We good. 👍🏽

[@MisterRoads]

2nd amendment, the right to defend yourself and your home from criminals and a tyrannical government. It’s the second amendment because that’s how important it is. The Declaration of Independence says it’s our duty to preserve our rights.

[@neutrino78x]

Yes but the 80% of us who live in cities generally choose not to exercise our 2A rights. I personally have not touched a firearm since I got out of the Navy in 2003. I have zero reason to touch one. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area (grew up here, share the values). It's stupid that the Supreme Court took away the right of counties to be "may issue", because that's a MAJOR cultural difference. It should be obvious that people in the City of Houston are not as interested in allowing open carry, or CC without a license, as the people out in the countryside hundreds of miles from the nearest major city in Texas, yes? So why can't We the People of Houston say "here in Houston, it's may issue for CCW. We don't care about other counties, they can do shall issue if they want, but here, it's may issue."??? Makes no sense that abortion would be state to state but counties aren't allowed to not give out CCWs.

[@brianphillips8228]

we have a right to "keep and bear" arms. Whether you are open carrying or conceal carrying, that is "bearing" an arm. The Supreme court has, generally, been okay with one or the other being prohibited, but not both. Both being prohibited, would be unconstitutional. Allowing any local, state, or federal agency to reduce or ban a right specifically enumerated in the Constitution, allows all of them to ban any and all other rights. Regarding abortion, Roe vs Wade was a supreme court decision that said The federal government could prevent all states from banning abortion. This violated the 10th amendment to the constitution. The 10th Amendment says that any power that is not specifically enumerated in the U.S. constitution (abortion wasn't) was a power reserved to the state governments. State governments had already been exercising that power for many decades. Some banned abortion, some did not. Therefore, the most recent Supreme Court decision overturned the previous ruling in Roe vs Wade, clarifying that the decision had been wrong because it was a power not granted to the federal government that had already been exercised by the states. All the ruling did was return things to how they were. States can or cannot allow or ban abortions, the federal government cannot (without an amendment to the constitution). @@neutrino78x

[@neutrino78x]

@@brianphillips8228 "he Supreme court has, generally, been okay with one or the other being prohibited, but not both. Both being prohibited, would be unconstitutional." The areas with some sense aren't trying to do that. We are saying, yes you can carry concealed, but you need a permit. This is for public safety. Perhaps it's hard for you to understand that the culture in urban areas is different from the culture in rural areas. Hopefully Congress can fix. Only 42% of all homes in the USA have a firearm. "Regarding abortion, Roe vs Wade was a supreme court decision that said The federal government could prevent all states from banning abortion. This violated the 10th amendment to the constitution. " That's what the Court said recently, but they didn't say it violated the 10th at the time. So yes, if the federal government can't prevent all states from banning abortion, it follows that the federal government can't tell all states not to ban open carry and regulate concealed carry. Because of cultural differences, and what should be obvious differences in how safe it is for everyone to have a gun in an URBAN area as opposed to a rural one, this should be a right that communities have. You're trying to impose big government on women as well as local communities.

[@brianphillips8228]

"Because of cultural differences, and what should be obvious differences in how safe it is for everyone to have a gun in an URBAN area as opposed to a rural one, this should be a right that communities have." The point of us seeking independence and creating the constitution that we have, was to prevent laws from constantly changing according to the present popular opinion. If we were to allow the right to keep and bear arms to be restricted in your community, the right for women to vote can be restricted in another. We created a clear distinction between a right and a privilege. A privilege requires permission, a right does not. After the civil war, the southern communities passed laws that infringed on the rights of freed slaves. It was parts of southern culture that blacks did not and should not have some rights, so they passed laws to enforce their culture, regardless of what the constitution said. The federal government passed laws allowing for the use of federal troops in the south to protect the rights of freed slaves, and capture or kill the oppressors. The "Posse Comitatus" act ended that. The adoption of the "Posse Comitatus" act, allowed parts of the southern culture to terrorise blacks for well over a century. Nothing was stopping different areas, with their different cultures, from violating the rights of blacks. That is an example of what can happen when different communities can claim different culture for justifying oppression. @@neutrino78x

[@brianphillips8228]

I'm not trying to impose anything. There is supposed to be a big distinction between a right and a privilege. A privilege requires permission, a right does not. We, obviously, have a right to keep and bear arms. We, obviously, have not had a right to abortion. States, once again, are allowing their own citizens (not big brother federal government) to decide if abortion is legal in their state. The majority of voters concerned with this issue are women. Men generally don't vote on this issue. Women can, just as they did with voting rights, secure their right to abortion by getting an amendment to the U.S. constitution passed. Because this had never been done, and all laws regarding abortion were state laws, the Supreme Court HAD to rule as they did recently. Rights are not imposed on people that do not want them for themselves. Rights that are wanted by some are protected by the federal government from others that do not want you to have them. You want to restrict or ban the right of others to keep and bear arms. One persons right ENDS where another persons right begins. A persons right to keep and bear arms ends only where another persons right to not be shot begins. The right of you, or a community, or a state, or the federal government to regulate, restrict, or ban ends where my right to keep and bear arms begins. @@neutrino78x

A large portion of the American population are immigrants who speak their native language as well as English. The Brits say its not normal to have a firearm. Thank British King George for Americans insisting on the second amendment right in the US Constitution! Prior to the American Revolutionary War the British confiscated colonial Americans firearms, seized private property without due process and forced Americans to board British troops. Ask the Australians about how out of control their "reasonable gun laws" resulted in almost a universal ban of all private citizen gun ownership.

Plus I am completely fluent in Spanish and I speak it with a perfect Mexican accent. If I count the other languages I have studied on my own, I know about 12 languages in all. Some I can just read while others I can just order a meal. But I never need a translation app while traveling.

Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Arabic, chinese, korean, russian. All depends on where you are in the us but the big across the country are spanish, french, german. In Kentucky most took French i took 3 years. You have freedom to choose in Kentucky i chose french bc my ancestry is french but most in america take Spanish. And guns most people conceal carry firearms, i conceal carry a glock everyday and you wouldn't know by looking at me and health care there are programs to help pay that off if you dont have health insurance, i had private health insurance and had appendix surgery and cost was 113,000 dollars i paid 0 insurance paid it

[@joshb4789]

I live on a reservation everyone atleast bilingual with a native language plus Spanish we even have signs and menus I. Native languages because the older folks won't speak English.

[@oggghost2480]

I’m from America and usually the language people are required to learn in high school is Spanish because a lot of our neighboring countries speak Spanish. Sometimes French is an option. In my school Mandarin, American Sign Language, and Japanese were also options.

[@CimmerianAssassin]

I mean to be fair on the street interviews, they get the stupidest people to do them and only put those ones on. It brings more interaction to the videos. After all, when you have the third most populous country in the world, you would think that a good portion of it are going to be idiots.

[@omnivoort4221]

Yeah, also sometimes the interview editors stitch together clips to make it sound like they're giving a stupid answer (one of them asked a guy what the "capital of Europe is" (dumb question already) and then made it seem like he said "Russia" with a clip of him from another question). Another person said they knew a content creator who would do those sort of American/Gen Z interviews and said it would sometimes take a while to get usable clips for a video

[@kenwright815]

The Go To language in school is Spanish because we have millions of Spanish speaking immigrants. It's the second most common language and for a lot of people speak Spanish as their first language.

Both in high school middle school and college/ University the primary foreign language options we have in the US at least in the states of West Virginia and North Carolina are Spanish which nearly everyone has and sometimes I've seen French that's about it 99% is going to go to Spanish as a secondary

[@cedcole702]

A couple of things: I'm asked to foreign language, most American schools even down to middle schools give children the option to learn a second language if they so choose in high school in college, most American teens decide whether they want to learn a foreign language based on what job they feel they're going to want to do. Also, it's based on the fact that we have a multicultural country there are people here living here from all over the world and some of them don't speak our language well so we may have to learn a little bit of their language to be able to communicate

[@robertofernandez7773]

The gun thing will never go away. The reason is that the government cannot have the power to subdue the people. If they tried, the people will rebel and this comes from the beginning when the country was created.

[@ChrisEly]

French, German, and Spanish were all offered in American highschool, but Spanish was the most popular by far, especially near Mexico. French is only really popular near areas where French people settled because it's an easy way to pass with a good grade when your family speaks French already.

[@martainclark]

He is right. When a bully in the world shows his head the world looks to us. Explain that one for me 😊

[@blanketstarry7725]

...btw, I have a daughter in school and not once have I been concerned that she would be harmed in a school shooting. Any school shooting is way too much, but it is rare enough that it isn't an overriding concern for most people.

[@rebeccahanson6941]

I feel like Europeans think every American is walking around with a gun strapped to their belt. It is highly unlikely you would even see a gun when you come to the US. Most people I know do not even own a gun and there are restrictions in many states about carrying them. But yes we do have huge gun issues in the country and it can be scary in certain circumstances but I think it’s different than the image most people have in their heads. Also my school offered Spanish, French, German, and Latin and you got to choose which you wanted. A certain amount of semesters of language study are required. Being in California most people chose Spanish since more than a quarter of our population speaks Spanish.

[@russellkeeling4387]

I walk around in America with a gun. I have a concealed carry permit and I use it. So far I haven't gone all wild west on anyone. I am happy when I know there are others with concealed carry permits around me. We have all been vetted and are the safest people around.

[@kingalch3mist247]

In high school in America, the 2 most common languages to learn are Spanish and French

[@Farmer_Dave]

The Second Ammendment of the US Constitution states- A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. I live in Rural East Texas and have 2 guns a 12 guage pump shotgun and a .22 caliber magnum revolver I dont walk around with them either. It takes over 10mins for law enforcement to reach my home. And that is if they just happen to be in the area. Here is a scenario for ya'll to discuse together. Ya'll are asleep in the middle of the night when you wake to a loud bang and a group of armed Meth Addicts are invading your home with intent to rob and do harm. What do you do keep in mind you have 30 seconds or less before they find you and God forbid your children, what do you do? Always remember this scenario when you question why we have guns in our homes.

[@martainclark]

He didn't mention warmongers. WWI Europe WWII Europe! Last war on American soil was our cuvil war.

[@codycambra6530]

So about the gun rights in America, Americans get defensive because guns are primarily used to defend. The main reason mass shootings are so prevalent on the news is because of agendas. But shootings in general show most common weapon used is pistols but they go after the AR-15. From experience in America you give those who want to take guns away an inch they take a mile and the only people these laws affect are law abiding citizen’s not criminals. And if people really want to hurt someone they’re gonna do it like the UKs knife control bs where they are trying to ban “zombie knives” these laws will never work they only hurt those that will follow them.

[@mandupicante9344]

about obesity here in america, it’s all about the portions and affordability of fast food and unhealthy food

[@thedailygreatness]

The concept "human rights" is actually a derivative and offspring of 1776 and our Constitution. But unlike the vague and flimsy notion of "human rights" our Bill of Rights and Constitution are specifically designed to Restrict, Restrain and Remove "government" from tyrannizing We The People. The Right of Self-Defense is a Right that comes from God, as we believe, and therefore cannot be legislated upon by Man. That's what we mean by the word Inalienable. And we mean the ability to defend ourselves against ALL forms of Tyranny, whether from a burglar, a rapist OR a would-be Tyrannical Government. Our Founders were quite explicit about all of this.

[@AvengingFade]

If you lived where I live, in the southern US. A/C is a necessity. Not a luxury item. 😂🥵

[@ZDH18]

In the U.S, learning a 2nd language is not mandatory in many states. Most Central and northern states do not require you to learn a second language in school. On the other hand many Southern States add Spanish as a mandatory class that you must take.

[@kays4290]

In high school we also have language classes. I had Spanish, German and French as options.

[@melissahuntley3755]

The guy on the video just said that mainly only police carry around guns, that would be incorrect! Many states on the East Coast are open carry meaning that you can actually carry a firearm on your head many are concealed carry, and if you have a permit for concealed carry, which means all you have to do is take concealed carry course, which is about eight hours on a weekend. You could carry a firearm underneath your jacket. All of this is totally legal, many people you don’t even know or caring. I open all the time.

[@wholeagain5099]

In America a foreign language is required for collegiate path, and the languages offered differ from school to school. My school offered Spanish and French, a highschool one county over offered Spanish German and Portuguese

[@the13thwizard]

Most high schools in America often several foreign languages for study. I think Spanish and French are most common where I am at, but I know people who learned Japanese or German in high school.

[@mic1240]

In large metro areas in the US, particularly in the NE and places like Chicago and LA, the schools have many dozens of languages. The US is the second largest Spanish speaking country in the world.

[@zerihunhailu8922]

[@williambill5172]

I was in school in the 60s and 70s and we had to take at least two years of a foreign language. The choices varied depending on your state, but most offered Spanish, French and German. I am 68 so I have no idea how it is now.

[@knightchef]

British people not understand why we won’t surrender our guns is kinda funny.

[@EarvinWilliams-gb2qd]

French or Spanish was required for me to graduate high school so yes Americans learn second languages but maybe not fluently

[@jeffreywhitney5079]

Yeah, it's somewhat common to have French of Spanish in highschool, but also keep in mind the huge number of immigrants we have here. Or second generation, meaning that they were born here but their parents weren't. There's a ton of that. The company where I work employs a tom of 2nd Gen people who all speak 2+ languages.

[@kimberlymarks7542]

The number one language chosen to learn is Spanish, but I'm my school they also taught Japanese, German, Chinese, and Russian

[@AzaleaLuna]

No actually, England called it soccer first. Most high schools in America require at least a semester or more of a foreign language. Either Spanish, German or French with Spanish being the most useful as there are a lot of Spanish speaking people in the US and of course there is Mexico South of the US border. There are German and French communities in the US that still speak their native language going way back. Like in Louisiana there are quite a lot of people that speak French. And in Fredericksberg, Texas and other states there are people who still speak German. The US could definitely use better gun laws, you can blame our politicians for that one, but there is this quote...“We can never invade America,” Japanese Admiral Yamamoto has been quoted as saying. Yamamoto, who attended college in America, explained his logic this way: “There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.” And he's correct. Having a gun is not "human right", it's an amendment. The 2nd Amendment. And the British are why we have it. A lot of these pre-conceived notions about America come from American TV shows and movies. When my husband and I were in Ireland years ago having some drinks at a pub the people there went on and on about the Jerry Springer Show. My husband and I have never watched it. They literally thought the people on the Jerry Springer Show were what all Americans were like. lol. And we're just sitting their questioning why they would watch that trash and recommending that they actually go visit America and see what it's really like. lol.

[@mitchelltoles3719]

In terms of language. People tend to forget that the United States is also a nation of immigrants whom bring their native tongue from all over the world. Even some Americans are ignorant to the degree of diversity in the United States compared to other countries.

[@trickhayproductions]

Yes in high school grades 9-12 we have to learn a second language such as German Spanish, French

[@mandupicante9344]
