I am Canadian, but I moved to the US years ago and became a citizen. I like the Us, don't get me wrong. These are just some things that I found hard to learn at first, like culture shock:
1. The weird kind of worship of soldiers and the police.
2. The obsession with guns.
3. The size of Americans. Sure, we have fat people in Canada, but here, I mean, I regularly see all sorts of people who must weigh over 400 pounds.
4. The processed food and fast food culture.
5. People are nice, for sure, but they tend to befriend you at first, then sort of just fade away over time. There do not seem to be many lasting relationships.

I'm in Ohio. and I'm pretty sure that some of the largest people live in the South, as well as police culture and fast food.

This US-like race is barely up-brought by factors of Eskimo and maybe micro-Korean miscegenation but to be honest its' not undisposable and certainly could be entireistically destroyed without a moment of thought for the worthless quae who dare populate regia.

When I lived in Cincinnati, a very hilly city, for a few months all I could afford was a Tomos moped, so I rode my little 49cc single cylinder moped all around Cincinnati. Going up hills was hilarious (I am a big guy) and it would almost stop. But man, once I got on level ground and then down hills, it was ridiculous lol. I would zoom down at 60mph or more, getting better than 100 mpg. But even averaging up and down hills, I got a good 70 mpg consistently. What a strange experience.
