I've never thought Hungary was prejudiced based on skin colour.

You did admit to me though that Hungary was vastly behind on LGBT issues. They appear to be lagging behind Western Europe in terms of both social attitudes and progress on issues such as marriage, adoption and gender identity. The lack of initiative to legalize and in some cases recognize genuine medical conditions is definitely indicative of some underlying homophobia/transphobia. Certainly not you, but Hungary as a whole has some serious re-thinking to do.

For example ukranians think that english people don't download films or music from pirate sites as they find it offensive or smth. Is it true?

Where did you hear that?

We Brits are just as guilty as everyone else.

Quoted from "Scooterjeka"

Every country has its specific culture and also some myths about other countries. For example ukranians think that english people don't download films or music from pirate sites as they find it offensive or smth. Is it true?

Well in America, we do this all the time, we don't like to admit it cause its illegal. But, we do it all the time.

There are lot of myths I can dispel about america. But where to begin....

1. We don't eat McDonald's all the time. A lot of us find the food okay. I myself think its disgusting...but thats me.

2. The majority of us hate Bush....he was a moron!!

3. Not all of us are ignorant of other cultures, they do teach us about the world. Its just that the tourist Europeans (etc) tend to meet are stupid and disrespectful ones who give us a bad name.

4. Not all of us are warmongers in fact a lot of people here hated the war in Iraq and Iran etc. There were many protests against it in fact.

5. We are very friendly and welcoming to strangers.

If anyone has any other myths / questions about American culture please ask me! I will answer any question!


I do have one question for the Brits out there: Is it true at your Parliament meetings all they do is yell and scream at/ over one another?

And one of the Russians/ Ukrainians: Is the heavy drinking stereotype true? I have read 2 or 3 articles about how many russian/ ukrainian males are dying from deaths related to Alcohol?

ok, germany:

-we do not drink beer all day long
-most of the girls do not look like this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/co…/Lay_Bayern.JPG
-we are a very funny peoples. I do not know why the rumopr exists all germans have no humor or a bad tast of humor
-we do not eat Berzels and sausages all day long

The only disturbing thing about the United States for me is its fervent religiosity. It's quite frightening! Especially considering the Founding Fathers decreed it unconstitutional to have religion be so pervasive in government.

But if your surname is "Muhammad", it takes a bit longer to check-in at the airport... (j/k)

LOL!! Good One! Maybe I should say, once you leave the airport the friendliness begins! lol

Thats the old folks here, the younger people in my generation tend to not be as bat s**t insane about religion.

The Germans do have humor, its just a very, very different style. Otto for example is a funny German comedian.

Yeah, that's the problem.

It's the oldies that control and regulate policy.

And that comes with a whole lot of undesirable consequences.

Yep now we just got to wait for them to kick the bucket!

Can't say I enjoy watching BBC Parliament all that much... That MAY shock you.

But yes, sometimes opposing parties on either side will yell at each other.

Did you get this from Ali G by any chance?

No I was watching the BBC and I saw this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsAa9VmwOaI. and I thought, how the hell does anything get done in England? Not that the US gov is any faster. lol

Quoted from "Scar"

I heard that in USA if you'll look at the girl at metro or at the street with passion ())), she can have legal proceedings with you for the sexual harrasment!

No this is not true, only if you touch her or start saying rude sexual things to her. You can look all you want, but if you look for a long time and stare, she will think you are insane.
