Ask an "Amurican"

Yeah, I agree there are a lot of dumb Americans out there, but lately everyone I’ve met seems to be trying pretty hard to erase that sterotype.

I’m up in Vancouver and while we were hosting the Olympics everyone from down south seemed to be pretty friendly once they got up here. Hopefully the Bush era is finally over and America can go back to being respected for what its good at: making funny movies and driving pick up trucks in the city for no reason.

Your irony has no edge. I’ve never said that my country is 100% atheist. Just that eight out of then believes in the theory of evolution.

You still tried to make it sound like if Americans aren’t 100% atheist, then they must all be stupid.

Hey, you. Seattle guy. Is this accurate:

I’m going to be a bit exasperating here and respond with a: “Yes and no.” or a “Partially.”

Marb went from Seattle to a desert state. I have a little different perspective. I grew up in Baltimore, which is not known for its rain but it actually gets more rain per year than Seattle does, but I’ll tell you the truth, as I know it here:

For about 8-9 months of the year, we’re under a constant threat of light drizzle/sprinkles. However, it’s not uncommon to see the sun. If you turn on the news, there’s always rain icons for the weather, but it might mean you get five minutes of sprinkles, 6 hours of overcast and an hour of broken sky where sun can peek through on occasion. Right now, we’re getting filtered sun.

The rest of the year (around summer): stunningly clear skies and bright sunshine.

In Baltimore, you had longer bouts of sunshine, but the storms were more torrential, bringing lots more rain than Seattle ever gets. I can’t remember the last time Seattle had a really bad rain storm. Which sucks because I missed the bad rain storms from growing up in Baltimore. :frowning:

Yes, it does rain a lot here, but I haven’t seen the “rusts, molds or grows green shit on it” like Marb was suggesting. Also, the standard of living is high…if you live in or very close to downtown Seattle or Bellevue. However, I got a nice 1BR apartment for $620/month and I’m one bus from downtown Seattle. If that’s a higher standard of living, then it’s offset by the highest minimum wage in the country.

And, yes, Seattle has its ghettos, but there are sometimes funny things to read in the graffiti at those bus stops. I read message-board like responses back and forth down a wall one time. “seattle is a bunch of f****ts” “ur just upset u dont have a girl liek me” “fuck u” “no thanks im not gay liek u” “Hey! Learn spelling and capitalization!”

I lol’d.

I happen to be living in the Olympian rainforest atm. I think it rains here way more than in Seattle.

Ahh, that’s a bit of a downer.

Looks like my search for a place that rains alot continues.
