 Why We Stinkwell the title is actually Why We Suck(mods sorry but that's the title and I couldn't think of a way around it), and it's about how americans are all really dumb, fat people and everyone hates us. I haven't read it, but I saw it at a store and I was reading the prologue. it was really funny from the little that I read, and kinda true too. anyone else read it or heard of it?

Re: Why We Stink I Looked it up, and it's by the same guy that sung the song "I'm An *******" (Sorry mods, but that's the name of the song). Good song, that.
I also looked up free ebooks, but they're all non-free  -Ranga _________________ Arya Svit-kona wrote: caterpillar SILVER I JUST NOTICED THE CHEST HAIR!!!!!!!

Re: Why We Stink We're not all like that, not even close. But it is saddening how many people are like this book describes.
He is right, I am kind of peeved. Using generalizations, damn it! _________________ :::Forum Rules:::Facebook:::Twitter::: Myn's Bio |

Re: Why We Stink I think it's important to be able to make fun of yourself- people who take themselves too seriously are always annoying. And generalisations are how the world works, you have to take it with a pinch of salt lol. I would read this, but I feel cruel because I'm not American. If somebody wrote one about Brits, I'd read that (although most of it sounds like it could apply to anyone in the world)

Re: Why We Stink I like the way you ignored my question
    and kotor, you mean you're angry that he uses generalizations? I think to make a convincing book it's expected... _________________

Re: Why We Stink Well there's a good reason I take it too seriously, but I agree. I must learn to laugh at myself more, it is allright after all. I'm too serious.

Re: Why We Stink I thought it was going to be really offending but it made me laugh because thats the truth for some americans. Espically the part about the coffee at McDonalds. Some americans will sue for ANYTHING! Its ridiculous.

Re: Why We Stink redshurtugal08 wrote: I like the way you ignored my question Whoops, forgive me, I totally was meaning to. I meant put me off America, stop me from wanting to go, but of course I was joking. I'm not sure what PA meant exactly though ... _________________
