Reveal hidden contents I can't help to cringe every time the word "America" is used to refer to just. one. country. I was told it is an actual TV commercial but I haven't seen it on TV yet. I hear you about the "America" thing and I have a similar opinion. That's why I usually call it the "USA." The fact it is called "America" implies the attitude many ppl in this country have.
May 6, 20178 yr New show on Comedy Central Checked out the first episode. It was ok. One of those shows I would watch if I happen to catch it on TV or have it on in the background. However If I miss it when it is on I wouldn't be disappointed. Atamanuik does a slightly better job portraying Donnie than Baldwin.

What bothers me to no end though is when Latin American people use the word "Americano" to refer to someone from the USA or something made in the USA. There's so much snobbism behind that use of the word... At least in English you have the (not so good ) excuse of not having an actual demonym, but in Spanish we actually have one.

You don't have to look any further than the video of Trump and the House "representatives" celebrating the passing of their "health care" bill the other day to see where that arrogance comes from. I would have to admit, though, that I'm guilty of doing it too, but it's more just out of being conditioned to do so than any malice. One of the many things I have to work on when it comes to figuring out where the road goes from here in terms of a political perspective.
May 6, 20178 yr Author The Chinese call China "The Middle Kingdom" - which is pretty egocentric as well. IIRC it means something about being the center of the universe. "We da big boys!"

That's b/c they do all have the same face BuzzFeed photoshopped all the faces with the face of Mark Meadows Most people at quick glance didn't even notice.
May 7, 20178 yr we don't have the results in France yet but the new President of France is not going to be an old racist witch. I repeat : Marine LePen will not be the President of my country.
