When the question of RL location comes up while chatting in-world the conversation seems to go in two directions...
1.) You enthusiastically exclaim your country of origin and get a tremendous amount of positive feedback from the inquirer.
2.) You enthusiastically exclaim that your country of origin is the United States. The inquirer then gives their condolences.
Since my rezz day I have never gotten a positive response about being American. What I have gotten is a lot of stereotypes and insults. So let me set the record straight about that...
A lot of americans are fat, but not all of us... and what's so awful about being fat anyways? It's not like it makes you a bad person. So shut your trap about it you heifer and eat your potato salad.
Americans are not stupid. Al Gore invented the internet. So one of us must be smart.
We don't all like George Bush. In fact, I'm not sure I know anyone personally who supports him. It's not our fault a bunch of slack-jawed yokels from the swamps voted for their inbred cousin.
We all like McDonalds and eat fast food for every meal and it is wonderful.
Which brings me to my point...today for the first time on SL I was kind of proud to be an American.. because of these cute shirts I saw @ Kenzie... Being the liberal college student that I am, I grabbed the Obama for yo Mama option. My friend from the UK had to have a "Hilary is my home girl" tee for himself as well. Very exciting election. Unfortunately the Clinton shirt was way cuter than the Barack shirt. That's discrimination for ya.
And if you are still hating on Americans after all this time than stop playing SL because it's made by Americans...turd.
