Don't worry, guys. In a couple of decades it will be perfectly okay to say Europe is a country. And a decade or two later, the same will be true about Africa. Continent sized behemoths will be the only way to compete with China. United Americas, European Union, African Federation, China, and Asioceania(for those parts of Asia that don't want to be assimilated by China). One big step towards a unified world government. Getting people used to different cultures living in one big community. Making everyone at least bilingual, if not trilingual... Also, note how I didn't include someone in these predictions. A certain member potato just made sure they'll fall, no matter how many copies of Oppenheimer's Toy they have.

That doesn't describe difficulty or easiness of a language, but rather how much time and effort is put into learning it. And the amount is huge.

I got my spine crushed by a tree. I spent a week in NICU, a month in regular hospital and 3 weeks in physical therapy. The bill came to a whopping $334,000. If the hospital didn't write it off as "extreme poverty", I would have had to choose between filing bankruptcy and destroying my credit for 20 years, or spend the rest of my life being bankrupt from making payments. It would have ruined my life. They blame it on malpractice insurance premiums the hospital has to pay for, but if they had good doctors, why even have the insurance? Well, my fiance at the time did more for me in the hospital room than ALL of the nurses combined. One was removed from the floor when my family found out how they were treating me. So, what was the bill actually for?

[@emmamemma4162]

Gees, I have the 'rona right now and I needed an ambulance ride and spent three nights in hospital. I'd say my bill was 0, but I didn't even get a bill.

So, I used to work in Tech Support and we had around the clock coverage. Which meant for out of hrs US coverage, Emea and Apac did that. So I had a US customer one day, and he asked me where I am based. And I said, the UK. And he was like, UK? I was like, yes, you know, England. And he said, oh, you mean Canada.

Comments made by visiting Americans that annoy us Brits: We speak with a cute accent. We spell words in a funny way. We drive on the wrong side of the road. Our beer is too warm. Our food/drink portions (and cars) are so much smaller than those in (insert State). I actually saw a You tube comment from an American who thought it crazy that someone from Glasgow would travel "THOUSANDS" of miles to London to demonstrate against a visiting Donald Trump!

[@M.S.M.111]

[@brianduffin5405]

I don't think Americans know much about anything outside of America embarrassing really

[@melissagrant1649]

I don't think they, as in the generally ignorant ones, know much about anything inside America either. There was a Texan shop owner that didn't know where our country, The Bahamas, was located when we told her where we were from. To make it easy for her because we are just a speck on the map, we said its a bunch of tiny islands just east of Florida, to which she replies, "Where's that?". We first get confused because one would think an American would know where Florida is but then just start to list some names of well known places in Florida so that she could maybe understand, like Miami, Orlando, Ft. Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Tampa, Boca Raton, etc.. Surprisingly, nothing clicked for her until we finally mentioned South Beach. So, on that day we learned there are Americans that don't know where the states that make up their own country are, even ones in the same region as their own e.g. Texas and Florida are both Gulf States or US states along the Gulf of Mexico.

You keep saying "It's just how America is". This is the problem, Americans are doing nothing about their own bad situation, they just sit back and take it. How many of these videos do Americans have to watch to realise they are being so screwed over by the Govt that is supposed to be working for them.

I can imagine why this question 10:14 appears so frequently. when you're from such a hugeass country which official language is English, the international language is English, and (optimistically) you know there are some other native languages in Ireland/UK area, you could sometimes get that brain lag wondering what England's language actually is, because the answer seems too obvious 😂

The thing is, The States doesn't have an "official" language.

[@fusssel7178]

Don't call Europe a country, trust me. It's the same as to say America is a country (and yeah, America, not USA, America = USA + Canada+ Mexico + Belize + Guatemala + Cuba + Bahamas + Cayman Islands + Jamaica + Haiti + Dominican Republic + Turks and Caicos Islands + British Virgin Islands + Montserrat + Antigua and Babuda + Dominica + St Lucia + Barbados + Granada + Aruba + Curacao + US Virgin Islands + Anguilla + St Kitts and Nevis + Guadeloupe + Martinique + St vincend and the Grenadines + El Salvador + Honduras + Nicaragua + Costa Rica + Panama + Colombia + Venezuela + Trinidad and Tobago + Ecuador + Suriname + Guyana + Brazil + Paraguay + Peru + Bolivia + Uruguay + Chile + Argentina + Bermuda), hope I didn't miss a country or counted a country outside the american continent. The point I am making is, that all countries in Europe have a distinct culture and history. As such you really can't say Europe is a country. The EU is the closest thing to a country but even that is just a lose union (like the Holy Roman Empire for example) and doesn't even encompass the whole continent.

(11:05) My life. I say an opinion. Others disagree. Fine. Someone else says their opinion. I disagree. They get upset, and say I don't have to disagree with all their opinions. But... what are we supposed to do? Just sit in silence? Talk about the weather? Like, sharing opinions is a discussion.

[@kimnice]

Lindsay's clip made me actually emotional. Mad and sad. I mean if you live in a civilized country it all should be so simple: If you feel really ill you simply call 112 (911 equivalent) and state your business. Ambulance ride? Free. The best possible treatment for your condition? Free. Don't think. Just get help. American's pay so much more for health care every year and still we hear stories like this! What is this network? What is medical insurance? People should be asking these question instead of if they have enough money to pay for the possible ambulance ride. The bill for an ambulance ride is baffling. I mean in every civilized country a company can't charge you money for a service you didn't order. So if you slip and hit your head..and someone else calls 911..It's impossible for them to charge money from you. Theoretically they could demand money from the person who called 911, but only theoretically since the health care system is free.

I think the whole world (not that it would ever happen) should have to demonstrate basic knowledge of how the political system works before you're allowed to vote. Just to eliminate voters who vote for someone just because of their ethnicity/gender etc. Also, living in New Zealand I've had jobs with unlimited sick leave, but more commonly you just get 10 or 15 days, with 4 weeks legally of paid vacation days. A lot of jobs will start 'suggesting' you take leave once you have over 4 weeks because you need to be rested to work efficiently. Work/life balance is a biggy.

[@lizandrodavid]

I can't with the fact of USians have to pay what a house cost in my country for a visit to the doctor due to a headache. Here in south mexico, you pay 2 dollars for a visit to the doctor if you have not insurance and we even have a hospital that won't charge you a single penny if you don't have health insurance (wich is sort of free if you have a job), we also have pharmacies that will sell you whatever you need for less thant 30 dollars,but of course, US media depicts us as savages xD. I just can't imagine knowing you're gonna die because you can't afford to be alive.
