Some of these things I had never thought about like the prices. Well I guess I questioned them years ago but not recently. That would be great if the taxes were put into price tags but that probably isn't going to change. Another, more political, issue talked about was health care. One person writes that they don't understand the fear of universal healthcare that Americans have. I agree with them here. But I guess being and American there has to be some fear. Either that or just the fear of something new. I mean this is The United States of freaking America: the best states to ever unite, so obviously our system is perfect. (Sarcasm) Anyway overall I think that most of the points talked about were interesting.

'Merica!
I found this video and thought it was funny and worth sharing. The vid is about what people out side of The US think of American customs. It covers a couple of points that they particularly found strange. One such point was price tags. They complained about a 99 cent burger really costs $1.05. What if you only have a dollar? They also talked about the pledge of allegiance allegiance being ritualistic and kind of scary.

I thing that every culture has its differences and with that there will always be some things that seems strange to foreigners. These are just simple things that don't have a large effect on our life.
