why do?

To be fair, James does encorage the gun toting stereotype with the way he talks about guns on here so I can't see any reason why he can complain about that one, he does blow the overweight stereotype somewhat out of the water though!:D;)
 
I mean, we all get 6 monthly free dental check ups, how many of you Americans can say that?:dunno

Wait...do you mean every 6 months??? Or six checkups, 1 every month, for 6 months??? Because w/ my insurance I get my 6 month check-up free. So if that's what you mean...*raises hand* :)

I've seen British folks w/ bad teeth...I've seen Americans w/ bad teeth. The running joke around these parts is that if a Waffle House waitress has 3 good teeth, 2 of them are probably in her pocket. ;) I don't discriminate...I pick on everyone!!! :) Just kidding.

Yeah, I meant a free check up once every six months. And we dont have to buy insurance first to get it free.;)

Forgive me for being happy with my purchase. I simply told you I bought a gun and you blew your stereotype all over the wall within all of my threads about my gun.
 
Why do the british seem to think all Americans are fat? Or cowards for buying guns legally? or take your pick of any of the hundreds of stereotypes I've seen you British throw at us over the years on here.


Good or bad, stereotypes do exist for a reason, they seem to play themselves out sometimes.
Nothing wrong with stereotyping. We all do it. If we didn't we wouldn't be alerted to possible dangers around us. It is when stereotyping turns into a labeling prejudice that is wrong.

it was a simple question
I dont believe anyone started to whine.
I agree Fuzz. So what is up with this accusing of whining all the time? Report or use the ignore feature, but stop trolling.

Snap. ;)

Precisely. ;)
Yes, you've got the right number Ria.

I never thought that about you guys.
I've heard of the stereotype before, but never given it any thought. My british friends don't have bad teeth actually.

He didn't mean you specifically, and yeah I've seen us called gun-toting overweight yanks here in the past and on other forums.
... among other things. It is a shame really as all of my American friends are the most wonderful people in the world --- just amazingly good people.

We all pay for our medical one way or another ... be it through your taxes, other people's taxes, or insurance. And just for the record, I get free xrays and cleanings for my teeth twice a year. So does the rest of my family.

Skyblue ... I want to see your 3 perfect white teeth ... LOL! Too funny! :D
 
I dont really get the hump about stereotypes, I do find this one about teeth a strange one though. I mean, take the one about us drinking warm beer even though we dont. I see where it comes from seeing Americans seem to have a thing about beer being as cold as possible and stereotypes are usually based on exagerations. The teeth thing though, I really dont understand how that started!:unsure:
