@@spurmarks The entire country has plenty of Irish. Pretty much all of Appalachia is Irish, hence Hill Billy. Williams in the hills. Almost all have Irish heritage. Which is fairly common knowledge in Ireland. I've seen many posters detailing Irish heritage across all 50 states in many places in Ireland. Not sure what she's on about. Trying to be consistently wrong in all over her videos I guess.
There are over 5 million Citizens of Ireland, but 31.5 million Americans of Irish descent in the US. So yes, there are more "Irish" in the US than Ireland.
Yes and the German girl who lives in Cincinnati, gets a lot wrong too. They see something a couple of times in one or two places and think all 350+ mil Americans, spanning 50 states and thousands of communities, do it the same way.
Amen! Lewis, you need to stop giving her a platform. She is more often wrong or doesn't have anywhere near a full picture. I don't know if she never changes her first impression, or if she is willfully ignorant.
Americans don't realize?? Oh we do realize that We as Americans don't have to explain to foreigners or care about y'all's opinions. Once again, she's failed.... Epically
It was started with having a leftover bone from a steak. "can I have a doggie bag for this?" When I was a kid growing up, I actually saw bags with the words "doggie bag" on them. but those are all gone by the wayside. Some places will even toss in another piece of bread/roll for later and give you a to-go cup for your drink and top it off too.
I don’t know anyone under the age of 70 that still says “doggy bag” when referring to take out containers. Back in the day though, I remember them bringing a literal bag with “doggy bag” printed on it to your table to take scraps home for your dog.
That was my thought too, lol! Having been with my aunt as a child when she took an off ramp onto the highway... I'm particularly sensitive to this thought because it was super scary. And I refused to ever be in her car again! @@bluflaam777
My ppl are right handed. The "hardest" part of driving is shifting a syd granny. Thus it is best to do it right handed. That is how America took to driving on the right.
Irish girl claims: We have freedom of speech, it is not exclusive to America ************* From the Fundamental Rights under the Irish Constitution: Freedom of expression You have a right to freely express your convictions and opinions (Article 40.6.1.i). However, that right can be limited in the interests of public order and morality. You can also not use this right to defame someone else as this would interfere their constitutional right to a good name. The Constitution also states that it is an offence to publish or utter seditious (material undermining the authority of the State or advocating for the overthrow of the State) or indecent material. Following a referendum in May 2018, the Thirty-seventh Amendment of the Constitution (Repeal of offence of publication or utterance of blasphemous matter) Act 2018 was passed. Blasphemy is no longer a constitutional offence. The State is also obliged by the Constitution to make sure that media such as the radio, the press and the cinema are not used to undermine public order or morality or the authority of the State. For example, the Censorship of Publications Acts and the Censorship of Films Acts allow censorship of publications like books, films and DVDs. ************** So you have free speech as long as the government doesn't deem it to be "out of the interest of public order" or deemed "immoral" You do not have the freedom to speak out to 'undermine the authority of the state' And only up until recently, speak out against the church. Yeah... America freedom of speech is exclusive.
Yeah, the more I learn about Europeans, the more I realize that they don't quite understand what free speech means because they're very ready and willing to police each other's words. When their governments start doing some whack stuff, they just shrug and say, "That makes sense. That person was saying something that might hurt someone's feelings." Even in their day-to-day lives, they monitor what they say and do to avoid standing out too much out of fear of being ostracized. Less so in the UK, but the more monoethnic the country, the more everyone feels pressured to conform. Someone who feels the need to restrict what they say and how they enjoy basic things like food isn't as free as they think. Even if the government isn't restricting them, the culture around them is...
I'm not sure what she is talking about when she made the comment about we drove on the left when the UK colonized America. There where no cars back then and buggies and people riding horses would take the middle of the road to avoid getting stuck in mud or a ditch.
I was going to say, I've seen those old roads. There is no 'side' to drive on. They are barely wider than a buggy and curved to shed rain. If you move to the side you run the serious risk of ending up in a ditch. In Colonial America up to the invention of the steam engine, the primary method of transportation (especially of goods) was by boat. This is why old cities tend to be near waterways.
@@rtyria She doesn't seem to understand that there are BILLIONS more people driving on the same side of the road that Americans drive on then on the other side.
Does she not also realize the big car brands and way of traffic was made in Germany and the USA? Why would we create Ford/American brands just to copy the Brit’s? America has created many things of what the Brit’s didn’t do idk why she even said that.
We are known to be the "party people"...we throw parties to celebrate just about anything. When someone gets a new job, or retires, birthdays, anniversaries, baby shower, gender reveals, baby being baptized, graduation from kindergarten, or middle school, high school and even college...my friends and I even threw one of our girlfriends a party when her divorce was final. 😊
To Diane and all Europeans....The reason taxes are put at the end of your bill is because in the United States, it is against the law to hide any taxes on items sold! All percentages of taxes and what they are for must be shown on your bill. This goes for any food purchases right down to taxes and fees for your phone bills, cable bills, personal property taxes, the lot. No fees or taxes can be hidden. In our country, the United States, citizens have a right to know why and what for they are being taxed. Each state has their own laws and taxes, which is why there is differences on taxes in each county, town, or city. Even with all our sales taxes, Europeans VAT tax is much higher. I could definitely be mistaken, but from what I hear, a VAT tax of 20% is placed on every item sold in Europe. Whereas, in the United States, it's around 10% on your total bill.
And because of this law, and because you can have different tax rates at every level (city, county, state) the stores have essentially colluded to calculate tax separate from the price. People would simply only shop at stores with the lowest listed price if tax was calculated at the shelf. So stores simply list the price of the item on the shelf which would be the same in all locations, then any price differences at the register are both too late to avoid and blame can be pass along to the government just as the sales tax is pass along to the customer.
it's not against the law. fuel taxes are included in the listed price. American sellers don't include the tax, because people just look at the advertised price and decide to buy; and then the seller can tack on taxes and fees and they don't change their minds.
Just to clarify, it's not illegal to *include* the sales tax in the price of something, it's only illegal if you don't clearly state that the sales tax is included in that price.
The driving side one is actually absurd 😂😂😂 CARS DIDN'T EXIST WHEN AMERICAN GAINED INDEPENDENCE.. we never switched anything and it has nothing to do with cars. Road sides started with carts/carriages.
The Irish do not have the same level of "free speech" as those in the US. Irish laws punish speech "that deliberately and recklessly incite or stir up acts of hostility, discrimination or violence". In the US, "hate speech" is protected speech - despite what some believe should be the case. True, language which "incites" acts of violence is not protected under the First Amendment, but "discrimination"? The boundary of what constitutes language that incites is high; consider that the Westboro Baptist Church who intentionally protest at military funerals with the most heinous of speech - clearly intended to "incite" IMO - was deemed by the Supreme Court in an 8-1 decision to be protected speech. In fact, every single European country has laws specifically restricting certain speech (many along the lines of so-called "hate speech"), so "free speech" is not so free in European countries.
School districts start high school typically around 7 to 7:30 AM, and then junior highs about 8 to 830 and the elementary is around 9. They do that so that they can schedule their buses appropriately as needed.
The point about staggered start times for the school day is valid--allows the bus fleet to get all the students to/from school. Each school district sets their own schedules. My city started with high school, then elementary, then junior high (middle school). Some of the overcrowded high schools also had a late day schedule for the freshman class ending around 4:30-5pm. Hated the early 7am start in high school. That's too damn early for the average teenage brain, according to some recent scientific research.
*Never* heard anyone say Murica. This is pure fantasy. Reminds me of the way the BBC butchers the pronunciation of Los Angeles as "Lows An-gel-EEZE". No Angelino (native of the city) or Spanish speaker (going back to the original Spanish) would pronounce it that way.
Or don't go to a store and plan to spend exactly every penny you have. I pay with a card, and make sure the sub total doesn't end up being more than 80 percent of the money I was planning on spending. It is called a budget. No one in america thinks about sales tax when shopping.
At least we Americans know how much sales tax was leveled when we look at our sales receipt.... Europeans have no clue how much that invisible 20 percent Value Added Tax amounted to...
Her older ones are definitely that way. She has newer ones that are more levelheaded and much less generalized. She eats food and gives her opinion. She experiences whatever and such and such and gives her opinion. Listens to music she's never heard before and gives her opinion. They're better videos IMO. I don't like her older ones much at all. It's like she was trying too hard.
@bluflaam777 😂 It's probably because a lot of people were calling her out. How are you going to make money off of people if you alienate them by telling them what you really think about their country when you clearly don't actually like it?
8 out of 9 people are right-handed. In America, with the steering wheel on the left side, our dominant right hand is free to handle the stick shift and dashboard. With the wheel on the right you must use your less competent hand to do all that making it easier and safer our way. IMO.
It is not just Americans who drive on the right side of the highway. Most Europeans do too... It seems only the British and the Irish drive on the wrong side of the highway in Europe...
0:29 This discomfort appears to illuminate her (and others in the UK) insecurities. Who cares what anyone thinks. You paid for it, it is delicious, take it home, enjoy it again later. 😊
Yup… every single day… gather with my friends, we talking about the constitution. Walk up to the register to pay for groceries, invariably the topic turns to the constitution… boarding a plane to go on vacation, yep you guessed it, I’m talking to the person next to me about the constitution 🤦🏼♂️
I, too, will avoid videos reacting to this woman. One thing I wanted to say, though... The US Constitution is fundamentally unique. We aren't granted our rights here by the government. They simply exist. Our constitution says what the government can't do, not what the people can do. No, Ireland does not have freedom of speech. Freedom isnt freedom if it can be removed by the government or easily voted away. Also, our President doesn't have power over our sales taxes, that's a local government thing.
It started in steak houses. Non-steak food that wasn't eaten was left on the plate, but the leftover steak was brought home "for the dog". As portions grew, there was more and more uneaten food on the plate, so take-out containers replaced the doggie bag, and doggie got less and less of the leftovers.
When I was a kid, I literally saw bags with the words "doggie bag" on them. Yeah, steak houses were commonly where you'd see them. Bones and the fatty bits etc. Treats for the pup.
She has a thumb full of information and runs with it like she knows everything. Bless her heart.🙄 Riddle Me This... if she has so many problems with the things, laws, and culture here, why does she keep coming back?😂
IKR, these are old videos tho'. But if I went to Paris and then claimed that all of europe was like my experience it would be ludicrous. Or if I visited one city in Germany and thought all of Germany was like that, let alone all of europe I'd be run out on a rail. If I visited Lew's house, then claimed that all of the UK was like him I'd probably make some enemies. LOL j/k
Number 7 is legit without question we will wake up one morning and be like "I'm going to the store and get some food to cook in the grill." Then we call all our friends and they start showing up with more food and bottles of alcohol. Whole time it's just a random Tuesday. Lol we have reached a point we don't even need a reason.
I remember some Los Angeles restaurants still having doggy bags in the 1970’s. My World War 2 era grandmother would take me these sit down restaurants that still had them. You literally received a little bag, sometimes with a dog illustration on the bag. You scraped your plate into the bag and fed your leftovers to your dog. People fed their dogs their leftovers before dog kibble was popularized in the 1950’s. Kibble was advertised as healthier than leftovers by dog food manufacturers.
You do know she’s a few fries short of a happy meal? Not the sharpest tool in the shed. Or the brightest lightbulb in the chandelier. Am I being clear? We celebrate because it’s fun for gosh sakes. And yes we do it with gusto. Why not celebrate the sun rising or setting or whatever.
Don't go by what this girl says. She is nuts. They used to call them doggy bags on the pretense that you were taking them home for your dog. Here in Pittsburgh, PA, the restaurant portions are so huge I can made 1 or 2 extra meals out of one. Now you just ask for a container or usually the server will ask you if you want one. It is a dim to waste good food and you paid for it.
As an American, she is right about the “World” sporting events. The winner of the Super Bowl is NOT the “World Champion.” The Super Bowl winner is the NFL CHAMPION. I am confident that the odds would favor the best NFL team beating the best CFL team, but the reality is the NFL does not play against any teams outside of the US, so there is no “world” about it.
In America, the reason that they put fluoride in our water is to help prevent cavities. We have fluoride in our toothpaste typically too for the same reason
WRONG, it's put in the water supply as a negative mood altering agent & to make people docile. There's no proof that it strengthens your teeth for the better, & there's actual proof that it causes harm taking it internally.
Its unconstitutional for the US government to tax goods and products like other countries. We have many national producers of goods and products. Manufacturers can't make a different price to account for all the local and state taxes, so the distribute at wholesale prices, and leave it up to the locals to add their taxes to the price. Theres usually a reason for everything.
The reason schools start so early is because of the farmers. Along time ago kids would work at the family farm and starting early allowed them to get out when the sun is still out to take care of the animals. Farmers are also why we have summer break, it’s time to start harvesting the crops.
Lewis you crack me up LOL you are always saying Brits aren't friendly or they don't smile at you etc. Well now we know why... you're not having enough parties! Yes we do celebrate EVERYTHING! Of course we celebrate all of the holidays on the calendar, then the ones she mentioned and so much more. If you live in the south, I'm in Florida, we even have hurricane parties when a hurricane is headed our way in about to hit land our solution is to have a party and lots of drinks then we don't care about the hurricane anymore😂😂😂 but yes you have kindergarten graduation parties, you have 8th grade graduation parties because you're going into High School and then of course you graduate from high school and that deserves a party then you definitely have to have a party when you graduate college! You have lots of parties when people get married, you have lots of parties when people have babies, you have divorce parties, you have anniversary parties, I think you get the idea here, so yes we celebrate a lot, any excuse to get together with family and friends and have some drinks and good food!!!

Regarding school: The buses are shared for public school. So the elementary and middle and high schools all use the same buses. So the school start times for each group is different. The buses pick up and deliver one set at specific starting times then they have another block for the next group of students. That is why some schools (grades) start picking up at 7, others start picking up at 8, etc.
A lot of tap water is fluoridated.. So it's good for teeth health. Doggy bags aren't really a thing anymore, the waiter /waitress will ask if you want a box for take home leftovers.
Hiding the tax in the price is illegal in the US. Moreover, food at supermarkets is not normally taxed at all. This girl is always wrong despite so many trips to the US.
In addition, most places don't tax medicine and those that tax clothes often have tax free days at the beginning of the school year. There are lots of variations of which she's unaware.
@@garyporterfield7165 You're nasty and annoying on purpose because that is who you are. As an old man, you would think you would know and behave better by now.
American water is treated with Fluoride, which is same stuff in toothpaste. It’s to help strengthen teeth and bone. It helps reduce cavities which happen a lot in kids. It’s completely tasteless and colorless.
I don't know a single american regardless of wealth or lack of it, who thinks about sales tax, you go to a store and want to buy 30 dollars worth of groceries, so you go with 50 dollars or more, and just hope they don't over charge you. Paying sales tax in america is no different than any other fee.

Ironically she doesn't seem to know too much about Europe....Only The republic of Ireland, Cyprus, Malta and the UK drives on the left. The other aprox.40 European countries drives on the right.
As someone who has lived about a third of my life in Europe and become familiar with driving on either side of the road I would say at surface level there isn't much difference, since traffic laws are built around what side of the road you are driving on. The caveat being driving a manual transmission. Manual transmissions feel better driving on the right side of the road because of the way the transmission and gears are oriented. If they're mirrored then it wouldn't matter. Also this woman is insufferable.
A doggy bag was an actual bag decades ago. Then, at least in America, it was rude to take home any of your food at the restaurant. I don't know why. But the patron would say, "Can I get a bag to take some of this home to my dog?" and blame their pet for wanting to make the faux pas of doing what society frowned upon. I can see a restauranteur turning up his nose to his food going to the dogs. I would think that a restaurant manager would think, "Oh! They ate until they were full! But they liked it so much they want to eat it again!" because everyone knew the food was going to be eaten by the patrons. The patrons won out, asserting they paid for it; they should be able to keep it. Nowadays, instead of the disdained term "doggy bag," people ask for a box to take their food home. Or I ask for a "to-go box." Every restaurant has clamshell boxes like at fast food restaurants, and no one is shamed for wanting to take their delicious food home.
Well, our weather extremes really inhibit walking. 100*F (38*C) with high humidity for weeks in a row, or 27* F (-2* C) with 20 mph winds. Nope, you go right ahead, I’m driving.
I remember when I went to the beach (Emerald Isle, NC) that when I drank the tap water, it was so shockingly different that I got briefly dizzy and had to sit down.
at my grandmothers homes they still had lead pipes,and still do.where i live now the water taste of chemicals, i don't drink bottled,don't like the waste of plasic,,but i do add vanilla.
I got fired after working for a place for 8 years. My friends had a party. I didn't invite anyone. Just a random party came to my house. People I knew and didn't know. Guess I didn't have anything going on the next day so it was fine by me.
4:13 It's not usually a party. It's more like "the divorce is finally official, let's go out and get drunk." Or "we were going out for pizza anyway, let's tell little Jimmy it's to celebrate him finishing 6th grade so he feels special."
It was called Doggie Bags because during WWII both food and pet food was scarce, in order to not waste any food, patrons with pets were given bags of leftovers to take home to feed to their pets or after the war themselves, but the name stuck.
They're called 'doggy bags' because people would oftentimes tell the waiter/waitress that they wanted to take the rest of their meal home for their dog...they didn't want to say that they were taking it home as leftovers for themselves because it was thought that in doing so, they'd be 'admitting' that they weren't all that well off. It's a saying that started 'back in the day' when people were more self-conscious about their income status.
Hey Lewis! I think the reason they're called doggy bags is because it started out as a thing where you would bring your leftovers home for your doggy. Then somewhere along the way, some man stood up for his food and said, "Screw the dog! This is mine!"
Oh goodie, her again. I guess she thinks a country this size all the drinkable water comes from one place? So, it's all supposed to taste the same? Her asking us to make tax the same everywhere, is like asking Europe to make tax the same in every country. Does she even think maybe she's weird?
The reason for a left-side drive car was because all cars (at that time) had center gear shifters. It is simply more efficient to use your right hand to shift gears. As not to tear up a clutch assembly. Most people, universally, are right handed.
American's say we are the only place with free speech because our constitution was written more as "Rule the Government have to follow" rather than the government writing a document of "Rules the people have to follow". I may be wrong but that is my understanding. For example, the UK government may put in a clause that hate speech will not be tolerated and is against their 'rules of free speech'. In the US, the rule is that the government cannot create laws or enforce rules that prohibit a persons right to their freedom of speech. Even if it is hate speech the government is not allowed to regulate it.
There are a few common sense exceptions though, the classic one being shouting "fire" in a crowded theater - because someone did once and people died in the crush to get out. Another form of speech that can be limited is another obvious one, threats of violence. Most of the time threats are just ignored, but if someone thinks you might actually act on the threat you can be prosecuted for it. The best test of genuinely free speech is to complain about the government. If the guys in dark suits don't show up at your door you have the genuine article.
@@rtyria I've seen in some documentary somewhere the "fire" thing isn't true... And there may be laws there but not as a restriction on speech. Defamation, and incitement may also count as restrictions but even then, it's not a restriction on speech. Those violate other laws due to the harm caused against others. Call someone * or to be safe, specify that is your opinion and you are protected under the Constitution to do so. Knowing Lie about * to cause harm can get you in trouble.
@@benjaminkeller4314 I had a law instructor back in the 90's who would disagree with you regarding the "fire" case. But yes, common sense restrictions regarding speech usually fall under some other law or regulation.
@@rtyria I don't KNOW if the thing regarding the "cannot yell fire in a theater" case I saw discussed in the documentary is or was true. I just know that I've seen something that disputes the idea of that actually being illegal. If in fact this is based on a real case then perhaps there is some precedent there that, if left unchallenged, would determine the law in that scenario. But still... that may fall under some incitement laws that are not to directly regulate freedom of expression. The most important thing about the argument, is that the US government cannot regulate hate speech, cannot add laws that prevent you from 'speaking out against the government itself' or regulate your right to share your thoughts or opinions no mater how bad, unpopular, racist, sexist, etc those opinions may be. Now... government colluding with institutions like youtube, facebook, x, etc to regulate visibility of those opinions does cross the line. And just because the constitution protects free speech that doesn't stop government powers from trying to stop it. Stay vigilant my friends.
There's always a reason to throw a party it seems here. Birthdays, holidays, vacations, graduation, first car, arriving at drinking age, having a baby, getting engaged, getting married, divorce, adoption, etc
Absolutely. No one thinks it weird to celebrate such things, but it is also true that not everyone does. If someone wants to celebrate something, just say when, where, and what to bring.
Talking about celebrating, a big reason to celebrate that a lot of countries around the world have that Britain can't have is celebrating independence from Britain, lol.
The “World Series” in baseball has actually become more international than it’s ever been. Just because the sport is predominantly played in the US doesn’t mean that there aren’t players from many other parts of the world that compete in it, like Japan, Korea, Mexico, countries in South America and in the Caribbean and Canada. So, that said, the best players in the “world” play baseball in the MLB.

I lived in Atlanta GA for 10 years. School made traffic worse hell than it always is. I hated it so much, I wanted to take every weekend shift at night I could get. The only blessing of the pandemic was very little traffic. I had to work as a registered nurse. I freaking loved that part.
Our school start times vary because we rely on school buses for most students. Schools are often far enough away that students are not expected to walk. We have a certain number of buses to transport elementary, middle, and high school; so they do each level in shifts. High schools usually start in the 7:00 hour, elementary schools in the 8:00 hour, and middle schools in the 9:00 hour.
It's called a "doggy bag" because whenever a customer had steak for dinner, they would ask to take the steak bone home to give to their dog. Over time, it would include other leftovers wrapped in foil and placed in the paper bag. Now, a take-out container is provided for the unfinished portion of the meal if the customer requests a doggy-bag.
The reason for the early school times is actually because of the bus schedules. The same busses take high school students first, then middle school students, and finally elementary students.

The term, 'doggy bag' has pretty much faded out over here. It has been replaced with, "May I have a to-go box please?"
I just ask for a box. Not a to go box. But yes, no one uses doggie bag anymore.

You have a right to freely express your convictions and opinions (Article 40.6.1.i). However, that right can be limited in the interests of public order and morality. You can also not use this right to defame someone else as this would interfere their constitutional right to a good name.
The Constitution also states that it is an offence to publish or utter seditious (material undermining the authority of the State or advocating for the overthrow of the State) or indecent material.
Following a referendum in May 2018, the Thirty-seventh Amendment of the Constitution (Repeal of offence of publication or utterance of blasphemous matter) Act 2018 was passed. Blasphemy is no longer a constitutional offence.
The State is also obliged by the Constitution to make sure that media such as the radio, the press and the cinema are not used to undermine public order or morality or the authority of the State. For example, the Censorship of Publications Acts and the Censorship of Films Acts allow censorship of publications like books, films and DVDs.
**************
So you have free speech as long as the government doesn't deem it to be "out of the interest of public order" or deemed "immoral"
You do not have the freedom to speak out to 'undermine the authority of the state'
And only up until recently, speak out against the church.
Yeah... America freedom of speech is exclusive.
Merica baby!!!!! 🙌 🇺🇸
Damn! She better be careful of what she says. Sounds like she has no idea what her constitution says - among many other things.
And she thinks WE need an education. 😂
America! Fuck Yeah!!
Yeah, the more I learn about Europeans, the more I realize that they don't quite understand what free speech means because they're very ready and willing to police each other's words. When their governments start doing some whack stuff, they just shrug and say, "That makes sense. That person was saying something that might hurt someone's feelings." Even in their day-to-day lives, they monitor what they say and do to avoid standing out too much out of fear of being ostracized. Less so in the UK, but the more monoethnic the country, the more everyone feels pressured to conform. Someone who feels the need to restrict what they say and how they enjoy basic things like food isn't as free as they think. Even if the government isn't restricting them, the culture around them is...
"Work smarter, not harder" and "Work hard and play harder" are the two that come to mind for me.
Work smarter, not harder
@@night7695, thanks for catching my typo 😊
My favorite is Use your brain, not your back.
yes. somehow all i could think of was "measure twice, cut once"
I'm not sure what she is talking about when she made the comment about we drove on the left when the UK colonized America. There where no cars back then and buggies and people riding horses would take the middle of the road to avoid getting stuck in mud or a ditch.
I was going to say, I've seen those old roads. There is no 'side' to drive on. They are barely wider than a buggy and curved to shed rain. If you move to the side you run the serious risk of ending up in a ditch. In Colonial America up to the invention of the steam engine, the primary method of transportation (especially of goods) was by boat. This is why old cities tend to be near waterways.
@@rtyria She doesn't seem to understand that there are BILLIONS more people driving on the same side of the road that Americans drive on then on the other side.
Does she not also realize the big car brands and way of traffic was made in Germany and the USA? Why would we create Ford/American brands just to copy the Brit’s? America has created many things of what the Brit’s didn’t do idk why she even said that.
America made the car accessible to the masses so the right side is the correct side, but isn't that more abnormal on the left side?
@@sammymullins2014 No.
We are known to be the "party people"...we throw parties to celebrate just about anything. When someone gets a new job, or retires, birthdays, anniversaries, baby shower, gender reveals, baby being baptized, graduation from kindergarten, or middle school, high school and even college...my friends and I even threw one of our girlfriends a party when her divorce was final. 😊
I REALLY do not like her. Not only is she wrong most of the time, but she's extremely condescending.
Most of the things she says are just her observations. Doesn’t mean that they’re actually true
Of course. But since she has cone to the US a few times, she may well be including some of her Irish fellow friends ones also.
To Diane and all Europeans....The reason taxes are put at the end of your bill is because in the United States, it is against the law to hide any taxes on items sold! All percentages of taxes and what they are for must be shown on your bill. This goes for any food purchases right down to taxes and fees for your phone bills, cable bills, personal property taxes, the lot. No fees or taxes can be hidden. In our country, the United States, citizens have a right to know why and what for they are being taxed. Each state has their own laws and taxes, which is why there is differences on taxes in each county, town, or city. Even with all our sales taxes, Europeans VAT tax is much higher. I could definitely be mistaken, but from what I hear, a VAT tax of 20% is placed on every item sold in Europe. Whereas, in the United States, it's around 10% on your total bill.
And because of this law, and because you can have different tax rates at every level (city, county, state) the stores have essentially colluded to calculate tax separate from the price. People would simply only shop at stores with the lowest listed price if tax was calculated at the shelf. So stores simply list the price of the item on the shelf which would be the same in all locations, then any price differences at the register are both too late to avoid and blame can be pass along to the government just as the sales tax is pass along to the customer.
it's not against the law. fuel taxes are included in the listed price. American sellers don't include the tax, because people just look at the advertised price and decide to buy; and then the seller can tack on taxes and fees and they don't change their minds.
If only we were so diligent with how those taxes were spent...
Just to clarify, it's not illegal to *include* the sales tax in the price of something, it's only illegal if you don't clearly state that the sales tax is included in that price.
@@kenbrown2808 Fees change my mind all the time, taxes no, fees, yes
The driving side one is actually absurd 😂😂😂 CARS DIDN'T EXIST WHEN AMERICAN GAINED INDEPENDENCE.. we never switched anything and it has nothing to do with cars. Road sides started with carts/carriages.
The Irish do not have the same level of "free speech" as those in the US. Irish laws punish speech "that deliberately and recklessly incite or stir up acts of hostility, discrimination or violence". In the US, "hate speech" is protected speech - despite what some believe should be the case. True, language which "incites" acts of violence is not protected under the First Amendment, but "discrimination"? The boundary of what constitutes language that incites is high; consider that the Westboro Baptist Church who intentionally protest at military funerals with the most heinous of speech - clearly intended to "incite" IMO - was deemed by the Supreme Court in an 8-1 decision to be protected speech.
In fact, every single European country has laws specifically restricting certain speech (many along the lines of so-called "hate speech"), so "free speech" is not so free in European countries.
Yes, we are Americans and we party. It all started with a tea party in Boston in about 1772.
Best comment 😂🎉

She is often wrong.

@@LisetteDupree-zv2in people make shit up all the time
I don’t know if you realize it or not but the value added tax in Europe is two to three times more than our sales taxes.
School districts start high school typically around 7 to 7:30 AM, and then junior highs about 8 to 830 and the elementary is around 9. They do that so that they can schedule their buses appropriately as needed.
Not always true. I teach in a county that starts elementary first, the high school and then middle. Every county sets their own times.
The point about staggered start times for the school day is valid--allows the bus fleet to get all the students to/from school. Each school district sets their own schedules. My city started with high school, then elementary, then junior high (middle school). Some of the overcrowded high schools also had a late day schedule for the freshman class ending around 4:30-5pm.
Hated the early 7am start in high school. That's too damn early for the average teenage brain, according to some recent scientific research.
Looks like the majority of your commenters can’t stand her
She's literally just complaining and imo I think she's jealous of most of those thing

I have never said Murica in my life, I don't think I ever met anyone who said Murica.
Only ironically.
I never have either. She is doesn’t speak for me.
Only in "Merica"!
Only my baby brother (now nearly 30) and then only sarcastically.
*Never* heard anyone say Murica. This is pure fantasy. Reminds me of the way the BBC butchers the pronunciation of Los Angeles as "Lows An-gel-EEZE". No Angelino (native of the city) or Spanish speaker (going back to the original Spanish) would pronounce it that way.
It amazes me that she still hasn't learned that sales tax has a specific amount. Know it and there are no surprises.
Or don't go to a store and plan to spend exactly every penny you have. I pay with a card, and make sure the sub total doesn't end up being more than 80 percent of the money I was planning on spending. It is called a budget. No one in america thinks about sales tax when shopping.
At least we Americans know how much sales tax was leveled when we look at our sales receipt.... Europeans have no clue how much that invisible 20 percent Value Added Tax amounted to...
Couldn't have said this better myself
When I find out it's her - I leave the site. She hasn't a clue...
Her videos are more her complaining about things she just are not used to.
Accurate.
Her older ones are definitely that way. She has newer ones that are more levelheaded and much less generalized. She eats food and gives her opinion. She experiences whatever and such and such and gives her opinion. Listens to music she's never heard before and gives her opinion. They're better videos IMO.
I don't like her older ones much at all. It's like she was trying too hard.
@bluflaam777 😂 It's probably because a lot of people were calling her out. How are you going to make money off of people if you alienate them by telling them what you really think about their country when you clearly don't actually like it?
8 out of 9 people are right-handed. In America, with the steering wheel on the left side, our dominant right hand is free to handle the stick shift and dashboard. With the wheel on the right you must use your less competent hand to do all that making it easier and safer our way. IMO.
I’m left handed and drive a stick shift in USA. No problems! The dominant hand has nothing to do with it.
@@ronaldmiller352but that’s because you left handed people are smarter 😊
Most people are right eyed, if you drive on the left your right eye is able to see more of the oncoming traffic.
It is not just Americans who drive on the right side of the highway. Most Europeans do too... It seems only the British and the Irish drive on the wrong side of the highway in Europe...
This girl is cray. I wonder if she actually been to america. I think she went to LA once and think all of US is that way.
I have never seen this woman before and I never want to again. The generalizations are astounding.
Lew why her bro??? She is soooo annoying
0:29 This discomfort appears to illuminate her (and others in the UK) insecurities. Who cares what anyone thinks. You paid for it, it is delicious, take it home, enjoy it again later. 😊
Yup… every single day… gather with my friends, we talking about the constitution. Walk up to the register to pay for groceries, invariably the topic turns to the constitution… boarding a plane to go on vacation, yep you guessed it, I’m talking to the person next to me about the constitution 🤦🏼♂️
I, too, will avoid videos reacting to this woman. One thing I wanted to say, though... The US Constitution is fundamentally unique. We aren't granted our rights here by the government. They simply exist. Our constitution says what the government can't do, not what the people can do. No, Ireland does not have freedom of speech. Freedom isnt freedom if it can be removed by the government or easily voted away. Also, our President doesn't have power over our sales taxes, that's a local government thing.
Cannot watch her, sorry I'm out
Same. She's insufferable.
I'm gone.
She is the worst.
🙄 Her again...
“I drink Boh-ol-war-er” 😂 that’s the first time I’ve ever heard someone say that without it being a joke about British accents
If you can't afford to pay for tax on your purchase, you probably can't afford what you're buying to begin with. Our taxes are low compared to the UK.
People used to ask for a way to take their leftovers home so they could treat their dogs.
It started in steak houses. Non-steak food that wasn't eaten was left on the plate, but the leftover steak was brought home "for the dog". As portions grew, there was more and more uneaten food on the plate, so take-out containers replaced the doggie bag, and doggie got less and less of the leftovers.
When I was a kid, I literally saw bags with the words "doggie bag" on them.
Yeah, steak houses were commonly where you'd see them. Bones and the fatty bits etc. Treats for the pup.
She has a thumb full of information and runs with it like she knows everything. Bless her heart.🙄
Riddle Me This... if she has so many problems with the things, laws, and culture here, why does she keep coming back?😂
IKR, these are old videos tho'. But if I went to Paris and then claimed that all of europe was like my experience it would be ludicrous. Or if I visited one city in Germany and thought all of Germany was like that, let alone all of europe I'd be run out on a rail.
If I visited Lew's house, then claimed that all of the UK was like him I'd probably make some enemies. LOL j/k
Because America is so awesome, even the haters want to be here. 😂
As we say here: She's 'dingy/a bit confused or deranged.
Number 7 is legit without question we will wake up one morning and be like "I'm going to the store and get some food to cook in the grill." Then we call all our friends and they start showing up with more food and bottles of alcohol.
Whole time it's just a random Tuesday. Lol we have reached a point we don't even need a reason.
I remember some Los Angeles restaurants still having doggy bags in the 1970’s. My World War 2 era grandmother would take me these sit down restaurants that still had them. You literally received a little bag, sometimes with a dog illustration on the bag. You scraped your plate into the bag and fed your leftovers to your dog.
People fed their dogs their leftovers before dog kibble was popularized in the 1950’s. Kibble was advertised as healthier than leftovers by dog food manufacturers.
You do know she’s a few fries short of a happy meal? Not the sharpest tool in the shed. Or the brightest lightbulb in the chandelier. Am I being clear?
We celebrate because it’s fun for gosh sakes. And yes we do it with gusto. Why not celebrate the sun rising or setting or whatever.
Your vagueness is quite clear.
Her voice makes me long for the sound of nails on a chalkboard.
This made my day 😂
I hereby vow not to watch anymore videos with her in them. That is the only way to get rid of her on this channel.
Same...anytime someone does a reaction video to hers I don't watch..
Same. I just came to give bro a like, but I'm not staying for the full video
😆 I was just thinking the same thing
I agree.
Don't go by what this girl says. She is nuts. They used to call them doggy bags on the pretense that you were taking them home for your dog. Here in Pittsburgh, PA, the restaurant portions are so huge I can made 1 or 2 extra meals out of one. Now you just ask for a container or usually the server will ask you if you want one. It is a dim to waste good food and you paid for it.
As an American, she is right about the “World” sporting events. The winner of the Super Bowl is NOT the “World Champion.” The Super Bowl winner is the NFL CHAMPION. I am confident that the odds would favor the best NFL team beating the best CFL team, but the reality is the NFL does not play against any teams outside of the US, so there is no “world” about it.
In America, the reason that they put fluoride in our water is to help prevent cavities. We have fluoride in our toothpaste typically too for the same reason
it's really just to poison us. there are studies that show there is about a 3% increase in cavities for people that don't use fluoride.
False. America added fluoride to hide the location of its nuclear testing sites…look up Manhattan Project. Fluoride doesn’t strengthen teeth at all
WRONG, it's put in the water supply as a negative mood altering agent & to make people docile. There's no proof that it strengthens your teeth for the better, & there's actual proof that it causes harm taking it internally.
The bad taste is usually chlorine
And the cavity rates have plummeted drastically since they did that.
Its unconstitutional for the US government to tax goods and products like other countries.
We have many national producers of goods and products. Manufacturers can't make a different price to account for all the local and state taxes, so the distribute at wholesale prices, and leave it up to the locals to add their taxes to the price.
Theres usually a reason for everything.
The reason schools start so early is because of the farmers. Along time ago kids would work at the family farm and starting early allowed them to get out when the sun is still out to take care of the animals. Farmers are also why we have summer break, it’s time to start harvesting the crops.
Lewis you crack me up LOL you are always saying Brits aren't friendly or they don't smile at you etc. Well now we know why... you're not having enough parties! Yes we do celebrate EVERYTHING! Of course we celebrate all of the holidays on the calendar, then the ones she mentioned and so much more. If you live in the south, I'm in Florida, we even have hurricane parties when a hurricane is headed our way in about to hit land our solution is to have a party and lots of drinks then we don't care about the hurricane anymore😂😂😂 but yes you have kindergarten graduation parties, you have 8th grade graduation parties because you're going into High School and then of course you graduate from high school and that deserves a party then you definitely have to have a party when you graduate college! You have lots of parties when people get married, you have lots of parties when people have babies, you have divorce parties, you have anniversary parties, I think you get the idea here, so yes we celebrate a lot, any excuse to get together with family and friends and have some drinks and good food!!!

When America gained our independence we didn't start driving on the right side of the road because the car wasn't invented for another 125 years.
Regarding school: The buses are shared for public school. So the elementary and middle and high schools all use the same buses. So the school start times for each group is different. The buses pick up and deliver one set at specific starting times then they have another block for the next group of students. That is why some schools (grades) start picking up at 7, others start picking up at 8, etc.
‘Merica! Not ‘Murica.
She’s so disrespectful. Not a fan of this foreigner.
Why misspell Mexico two different ways?
A lot of tap water is fluoridated.. So it's good for teeth health. Doggy bags aren't really a thing anymore, the waiter /waitress will ask if you want a box for take home leftovers.
Hiding the tax in the price is illegal in the US. Moreover, food at supermarkets is not normally taxed at all.
This girl is always wrong despite so many trips to the US.
In addition, most places don't tax medicine and those that tax clothes often have tax free days at the beginning of the school year. There are lots of variations of which she's unaware.
She's wrong on purpose, that's who she is
Something that's really weird is Lewis thinks everything she says is fact
After the Revolution and we broke away from Britain we started driving our cars on the opposite side of the road😂😂😂
@@garyporterfield7165 You're nasty and annoying on purpose because that is who you are. As an old man, you would think you would know and behave better by now.
American water is treated with Fluoride, which is same stuff in toothpaste. It’s to help strengthen teeth and bone. It helps reduce cavities which happen a lot in kids. It’s completely tasteless and colorless.
I don't know a single american regardless of wealth or lack of it, who thinks about sales tax, you go to a store and want to buy 30 dollars worth of groceries, so you go with 50 dollars or more, and just hope they don't over charge you. Paying sales tax in america is no different than any other fee.

Ironically she doesn't seem to know too much about Europe....Only The republic of Ireland, Cyprus, Malta and the UK drives on the left.
The other aprox.40 European countries drives on the right.
Oh lord, her again.
As someone who has lived about a third of my life in Europe and become familiar with driving on either side of the road I would say at surface level there isn't much difference, since traffic laws are built around what side of the road you are driving on. The caveat being driving a manual transmission. Manual transmissions feel better driving on the right side of the road because of the way the transmission and gears are oriented. If they're mirrored then it wouldn't matter.
Also this woman is insufferable.
A doggy bag was an actual bag decades ago. Then, at least in America, it was rude to take home any of your food at the restaurant. I don't know why. But the patron would say, "Can I get a bag to take some of this home to my dog?" and blame their pet for wanting to make the faux pas of doing what society frowned upon. I can see a restauranteur turning up his nose to his food going to the dogs.
I would think that a restaurant manager would think, "Oh! They ate until they were full! But they liked it so much they want to eat it again!" because everyone knew the food was going to be eaten by the patrons.
The patrons won out, asserting they paid for it; they should be able to keep it.
Nowadays, instead of the disdained term "doggy bag," people ask for a box to take their food home. Or I ask for a "to-go box." Every restaurant has clamshell boxes like at fast food restaurants, and no one is shamed for wanting to take their delicious food home.
Well, our weather extremes really inhibit walking. 100*F (38*C) with high humidity for weeks in a row, or 27* F (-2* C) with 20 mph winds. Nope, you go right ahead, I’m driving.
All water DOES NOT taste the same, but you can get used to the flavor of a particular water pretty quickly, just drink it.
I remember when I went to the beach (Emerald Isle, NC) that when I drank the tap water, it was so shockingly different that I got briefly dizzy and had to sit down.
at my grandmothers homes they still had lead pipes,and still do.where i live now the water taste of chemicals, i don't drink bottled,don't like the waste of plasic,,but i do add vanilla.
@@Piaphamu I hated the tap water of New Jersey(Im from there) and NC, but had no problems with tap in Texas Or South Carolina

I got fired after working for a place for 8 years. My friends had a party. I didn't invite anyone. Just a random party came to my house. People I knew and didn't know. Guess I didn't have anything going on the next day so it was fine by me.
4:13
It's not usually a party. It's more like "the divorce is finally official, let's go out and get drunk." Or "we were going out for pizza anyway, let's tell little Jimmy it's to celebrate him finishing 6th grade so he feels special."
It was called Doggie Bags because during WWII both food and pet food was scarce, in order to not waste any food, patrons with pets were given bags of leftovers to take home to feed to their pets or after the war themselves, but the name stuck.
Don’t want to see her!
I don’t care for her observations since she’s often not right. She needs to ask Americans before she summizes

What part was disrespectful?
That is you interpreting it as disrespectful.
She’s wrong when she says Ireland has freedom of speech. They have a similar set of rules, but their “freedom of speech” isn’t as free as ours.
They're called 'doggy bags' because people would oftentimes tell the waiter/waitress that they wanted to take the rest of their meal home for their dog...they didn't want to say that they were taking it home as leftovers for themselves because it was thought that in doing so, they'd be 'admitting' that they weren't all that well off. It's a saying that started 'back in the day' when people were more self-conscious about their income status.
Hey Lewis! I think the reason they're called doggy bags is because it started out as a thing where you would bring your leftovers home for your doggy. Then somewhere along the way, some man stood up for his food and said, "Screw the dog! This is mine!"
Oh goodie, her again. I guess she thinks a country this size all the drinkable water comes from one place? So, it's all supposed to taste the same? Her asking us to make tax the same everywhere, is like asking Europe to make tax the same in every country. Does she even think maybe she's weird?
I think she's the weird one.
The reason for a left-side drive car was because all cars (at that time) had center gear shifters. It is simply more efficient to use your right hand to shift gears. As not to tear up a clutch assembly. Most people, universally, are right handed.
All of Europe drive on the right side of the road as well.
American's say we are the only place with free speech because our constitution was written more as "Rule the Government have to follow" rather than the government writing a document of "Rules the people have to follow". I may be wrong but that is my understanding. For example, the UK government may put in a clause that hate speech will not be tolerated and is against their 'rules of free speech'. In the US, the rule is that the government cannot create laws or enforce rules that prohibit a persons right to their freedom of speech. Even if it is hate speech the government is not allowed to regulate it.
Yep I've realized their "free speech" isnt.
There are a few common sense exceptions though, the classic one being shouting "fire" in a crowded theater - because someone did once and people died in the crush to get out. Another form of speech that can be limited is another obvious one, threats of violence. Most of the time threats are just ignored, but if someone thinks you might actually act on the threat you can be prosecuted for it. The best test of genuinely free speech is to complain about the government. If the guys in dark suits don't show up at your door you have the genuine article.
@@rtyria I've seen in some documentary somewhere the "fire" thing isn't true... And there may be laws there but not as a restriction on speech. Defamation, and incitement may also count as restrictions but even then, it's not a restriction on speech. Those violate other laws due to the harm caused against others. Call someone * or to be safe, specify that is your opinion and you are protected under the Constitution to do so. Knowing Lie about * to cause harm can get you in trouble.
@@benjaminkeller4314 I had a law instructor back in the 90's who would disagree with you regarding the "fire" case. But yes, common sense restrictions regarding speech usually fall under some other law or regulation.
@@rtyria I don't KNOW if the thing regarding the "cannot yell fire in a theater" case I saw discussed in the documentary is or was true. I just know that I've seen something that disputes the idea of that actually being illegal. If in fact this is based on a real case then perhaps there is some precedent there that, if left unchallenged, would determine the law in that scenario. But still... that may fall under some incitement laws that are not to directly regulate freedom of expression. The most important thing about the argument, is that the US government cannot regulate hate speech, cannot add laws that prevent you from 'speaking out against the government itself' or regulate your right to share your thoughts or opinions no mater how bad, unpopular, racist, sexist, etc those opinions may be. Now... government colluding with institutions like youtube, facebook, x, etc to regulate visibility of those opinions does cross the line. And just because the constitution protects free speech that doesn't stop government powers from trying to stop it. Stay vigilant my friends.
no one really calls it doggy bas anymore, we just ask for 'to go'
House of Prime Rib in San Francisco, actually had leftover bags and boxes with a dog picture on them, back in the day (80's and 90's). 😅
Older kids start earlier so they can work or do after school activities, not because of traffic.
There's always a reason to throw a party it seems here. Birthdays, holidays, vacations, graduation, first car, arriving at drinking age, having a baby, getting engaged, getting married, divorce, adoption, etc
Absolutely. No one thinks it weird to celebrate such things, but it is also true that not everyone does. If someone wants to celebrate something, just say when, where, and what to bring.
Nothing wrong with a party.

Getting released from prison 😂 😂 Not guilty verdict. You name it we do it...

Talking about celebrating, a big reason to celebrate that a lot of countries around the world have that Britain can't have is celebrating independence from Britain, lol.
The “World Series” in baseball has actually become more international than it’s ever been. Just because the sport is predominantly played in the US doesn’t mean that there aren’t players from many other parts of the world that compete in it, like Japan, Korea, Mexico, countries in South America and in the Caribbean and Canada. So, that said, the best players in the “world” play baseball in the MLB.
Lewis if you read the comments..... please no more of her stuff!!!

I lived in Atlanta GA for 10 years. School made traffic worse hell than it always is. I hated it so much, I wanted to take every weekend shift at night I could get. The only blessing of the pandemic was very little traffic. I had to work as a registered nurse. I freaking loved that part.

"Why Are They Called Doggy Bags?"
Oftentimes, the leftovers would likely be fed to the dogs, which is where the term "Doggy Bags" comes from
Doesn't it make sense to have to gear shift on the right? Since the majority of people are right-handed.
Among other things, yes. Heater/AC controls, radio, etc.
I drove in Johannesburg South Africa and I was very nervous... Crossing the street in England could get you killed. Looking the wrong way for traffic.
Oregon no sales tax. all states different
Our school start times vary because we rely on school buses for most students. Schools are often far enough away that students are not expected to walk. We have a certain number of buses to transport elementary, middle, and high school; so they do each level in shifts. High schools usually start in the 7:00 hour, elementary schools in the 8:00 hour, and middle schools in the 9:00 hour.
Love her videos, it's great to see a European perspective on things.
Realize and I laugh every time I hear you say bottle of water 😂

It's called a "doggy bag" because whenever a customer had steak for dinner, they would ask to take the steak bone home to give to their dog. Over time, it would include other leftovers wrapped in foil and placed in the paper bag. Now, a take-out container is provided for the unfinished portion of the meal if the customer requests a doggy-bag.
The reason for the early school times is actually because of the bus schedules. The same busses take high school students first, then middle school students, and finally elementary students.
