I just going to go out on a limb here, but if speed skating wasn't an olympic sport, well then maybe they wouldn't train for it so much. Actually never mind that's a stupid thought, you're right, they'd probably put a bunch of effort into speed skating and nothing else and then get zero medals!
I'm not bashing murica', you guys have an amazing country! Some of us other countries are simply stating that you guys are like that 'one friend'. That one friend who must always be right and always do things their way, and if another friend suggests they might be wrong or something can be done another way...Well nope, they're never wrong! and they'll get all up in you're business until you just say they're right and they're the best, but really what they're saying is "fuck it, i'll let this dumbass think he's almighty and correct so he shuts up.".
Then, when so called 'know-it-all" friend isn't around, people are hesitant to invite them out because they want to keep it relaxed and not turn everything into a super competitive competition.
Another comparison is that 'one guy in class'. You know, like when the teacher asks a question such as, "does anyone know the square root of 64?". Murica' will shoot their hand to the ceiling and blurb out "IT'S EIGHT!!!11!!1! THATS THE ANSWER!! DID YOU HEAR ME?! THE SQUARE ROOT OF 64 IS 8!!!". The thing is, everyone else knows the answer, but they don't feel the incessant need to make sure everyone else knows they know the answer.
But, Murica' is also great because it's like that "one friend", you know? The one friend who is loaded and has nice shit at his house? So you invite all your friends to head over to his house to play with his shit? There are some great things about Murica'! like previously posted, those training facilities! Thanks guys.
- PS, don't get butthurt, I'm bored and this is a joke. I could just as easily say the "one friend" Canada is.
