@AverageJoe1 saidLots of these floating around on SM. Apparently people who listen to the news hate the USA, and those who have actually visited, know the truth.
The World Cup tourists are amazed at the USA>. I leave a llnk at the bottom hereof. And many of you often write that your countries are better. Top THIS??
The USA consistently excels globally in 12 key elements, ranging from economic and scientific output to cultural influence and natural beauty. These unique advantages form the foundation of American global leaders ...[text shortened]... retort at ugly comments in the past. Our win over Iran makes me feel proud,, so what better post!!!
*************************************************
The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.
And they are not handling it well. In the best possible way.
Here is what they are discovering:
Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.
Then they found the grocery stores.
Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.
The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence. Processing.
They finally understand why we do not have trains.
We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.
Why would we need trains.
The Germans are taking ranch dressing home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.
Welcome to America! The greatest country on earth.

@Cliff-Mashburn saidYesh, most have never visited the US and are having trouble reconciling what their press and media reports vs what they see for themselves on the ground.
Tons of recent youtube videos of Europeans visiting for the Word Cup saying how amazed they are at the US and how great it is.

@Rajk999 saidThe videos of them going to Walmart and Costco and freaking out over their size are great, also there are a bunch of them going to the larger gas station/convencience stores like Buc-ees and Quck trip and bragging on how great the food is.
Yesh, most have never visited the US and are having trouble reconciling what their press and media reports vs what they see for themselves on the ground.
