:williamswtf: How does that even work? You bite through the crust and get that subdad-turned-saliid all up in your mouth. Not even some macmacaan up in there? Suddenly Scotland's fried Mars bars don't seem outrageous at all.
Apparently they get butter, coat it in some breading, and then deep fry it :manny:

How are Somalis treated by the various different ethnic groups in the new world?
Depends, really. Where I lived the worst Somali people got was some racism by whites (the landlord in my old neighborhood comes to mind) but for the most part but it wasn't too bad. I think a user who lives in San Diego or Minneapolis might give you a clearer answer.
why is florida so ass?
Florida is a complete mystery. :mjkkk:

Are Americans really overly patriotic or is that just a stereotype portrayed by the media? Do you have to recite the pledge/salute the flag etc?

In grade school, every morning we placed our right hands on our hearts and sang the anthem as we faced the flag.

I didn't really see any harm in it:manny:

It's mostly conservative older white people who are very patriotic, though that's not necessarily set in stone. A level of patriotism exists in a considerable amount of Americans

As for the pledge, pretty much every morning in school we stand up, put a hand over our chest, face the flag that's usually hanging in the classroom, and say the pledge of allegiance, which goes
"I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United States of America
And to the republic, for which it stands
One nation, under God
Indivisible, with liberty, and justice for all."

They teach you in elementary and from then on you do it until you graduate high school. And yeah, there are flags in front of every government related building, from schools to fire stations to prisons.

The only time I recall hearing our anthem as a kid was during the world cup. I went to a super white Christian school as well. I was literally the only black kid my class

It's not a stereotype.

Flags everywhere, recite the pledge every single day from K-12
 
Oh believe me I know :russ:
It can be quite sinister when you look into it, but there's not much I can do about it. In some parts of the country the teacher might force you to do it :chrisfreshhah:

thats nuts.

Are you a college student?

Are you completely fucked by the student loans?

I know I am but its treated more of a graduate tax than actual debt here
