@@AltaiAustro-Hungarian Really ? So Sorry to hear that. I hope you didn't get hurt that much You mean Alsace Lorraine. First of all that place is a French territory. Used to be German back in the Franco Prussian, WW1 and WW2. I'm really surprised that you got beaten up by French people
I've heard of it but I still pronounce it wrong. Because it sounds like they're going for "filet", the French word. But here, we don't use that word. We use "fillet", like a "chicken fillet" or a "fillet of fish". And it doesn't sound like "fil-A", it sounds like "fill it".

Shannon’s laugh is infectious, seriously! Watching our videos back makes me smile just as much as I did during filming! Some of these were a little brutal but all in good fun💙
The US is pretty big. The interesting thing when our representative was talking was I was like that’s not all of us. You pretty much need two or three people from the United States in different places to get a more full view of the United States.
@@Beyondthe5thPanel half American half English is more specific. Anyone can be a British American with ancestors who are British. I am stating that one of my parents was English and I grew up with a strong mixture of both cultures. It's an important distinction. It's not only my great great grandpa who is English, but my mother.
Aussies also say sorry instead of excuse me if we bump into someone by accident. If someone said excuse me in that situation, I'd think, "Why, do you need to get past me?" We usually only say excuse me if we need someone to get out of our way or we're trying to get their attention.
In Ireland this is the same, but even to get someone's attention, we usually say "sorry" instead. Like if we were calling a waiter or a staff member somewhere to ask a question, we'd often say "Sorry, could I have a ___ please?" for example.
@9:03 Shannon is not exaggerating one bit. Me, a Swede, in Miami in 2006. Going inside an elevator. A random American instantly "Hi, how're you doing" and seconds later "What do you do? [for a living]". I was shocked. That is unheard of in Sweden and northern Europe in general.
A similar story from San Diego. I was there for a business meeting and got on an elevator in a suit (I am East Coast). At the pool level, a guy gets on bare naked from the waist up, wearing a towel around his lower half. Smiling, he says, "Man that felt good. You should take a dip. It's so hot out." I assume he was wearing a bathing suit, but my East-Coast sensibility would have prevented me from getting on an elevator, dripping, in a business hotel. The key word for Americans is "informal." It's a code that we live by. There are just different versions of the code.
@@luisangelgorostizaga1246 That’s why I feel more comfortable traveling in Latin America than in Europe. The people are more warm and friendly and welcoming to strangers IMO. Caribbean is like that too.

"What's the UK famous for except fish and chips?" - Lauren! It's been 8 years since I've last been in the UK and I'm really longing for scones with clotted cream and some jam. How can you not mention that?
That fact that she thinks the Constitutional right to bear arms is about self defense is why she doesn't understand how people can support it. The US Constitution does not grant people rights, it is supposed to prevent the government from infringing upon their innate rights, because the Founders knew that the biggest threat to liberty is the government itself. The first amendment is the same (and all others); it does not grant the right to free speech or religion, it prohibits the Congress from passing laws that curtail those freedoms.
I just wanted to bring this up in connection with the semi-automatic gun mentioned, a semi-automatic gun in fact does not fire loads of bullets in a second, it's one bullet to one trigger pull. An automatic gun shoots loads of bullets but those are banned in the US.
@@Ailurophile1984 Were you my summer camp counselor? That would be wild. Anyway, you are focusing on the wrong aspect of the debate. Bump stocks exist. And even beyond that, the only major difference is a person's ability to pull a trigger repeatedly rather than hold it down. Not much.
She just meant that you could pull the trigger (and subsequently fire rounds) multiple times a second, whereas something like a bolt action rifle can only be fired once every two seconds or so.
Yes and they were weapons of war until WW2 probably after as well along side semi automatic fire arms and automatic firearms. The military has done studies and it shows that more bullets doesn’t equal more killing. The question was stupid. More people are killed by cars, food, and I’d be willing to bet things like medication. The idea that something should be banned or tightly controlled because it can be dangerous is silly.
There’s a difference between stupidity and ignorance, despite the fact that they usually go hand in hand. There’s a lot Americans aren’t taught about the world around us and because we’re so caught up in our own issues, many sadly don’t care. But to make a sweeping statement that “Americans are stupid” after we accomplished so much in the fields of science and industry is in and of itself a little ignorant.
@@timothyreel716 To quote a Brit (John Lennon) “Everything came from everything else.” The Wright brothers were not the first to work on human aviation but they did perform the first sustained human flight. Doesn’t sound like something a country composed exclusively of simpletons would do.
Part of the issue is that the idea of a "well-rounded education" or liberal arts and humanities has passed out of relevance in the U.S. I say that without value judgement, really. The U.S. is competitive, and people with STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) competence and expertise are making all of the money, it seems. So, really, generalized humanities topics are seen as pointless and unnecessary. Sure, these people are going to lose on quiz shows. But they stand to get the big house, car and boat down the line. Can you blame them if they don't know a Plantagenet from a pierogi?
@@johnalden5821 Well put. Thankfully there are many organizations in America who are pushing to keep the “non-STEM” subjects alive and prevalent. In a country filled with ignorance and greed, there are still many who see the value in understanding history and our fellow man.
I’m American and I believe stupid people exist in every country including my own. But then one must ask how they define “stupid”. I have met people from different countries who weren’t fully literate in the native language and had little formal education. Typically anywhere in the world whenever people are poor they tend to have less access to and fewer resources to travel. Also there is a difference between don’t know and don’t care. I read at least 10 news websites a day and the tv in my office is usually tuned to a cable news network. But that is for work. I only have a passing personal interest in other countries’ politics and I don’t appreciate non-Americans trying to engage me in conversations about US politics which has happened a lot. I don’t ask non-Americans about their countries’ policies nor do I tell them my unsolicited opinions on what their countries do. Also I don’t really agree about the fast food thing but maybe it depends on where you live, your situation and your cultural background. I eat out a lot. I don’t eat fast food a lot. For one thing FF doesn’t tend to serve a lot of the foods we eat that require more preparation time like meat loaf, pot roast, ribs, jambalaya to name a few. I grew up eating Shepherds Pie. However, I don’t have children. I find that most people I know who have children tend to cook a lot. We have people in the country who are receiving government aid to buy food. Fast food restaurants don’t take food stamps. I highly doubt most people can afford to take two adults and four kids to McDonald’s or wherever every day. It’s the fact that we have so many people that these companies can do a lot of business but doesn’t mean everyone constantly goes.
The "free country" one was weird. She saying that yes if you have a certain opinion people will put you in a certain category but that doesn't mean your freedoms are taken away. Some people make the mistake of wanting to do what they want with out any judgement or criticism. But just because someone criticizes you doesn't mean you're not free. You can say and do what you want but don't expect not to get a reaction.
He is correct. The vast majority of the whining. Is due to people getting criticized for their opinions. So many whine and pretend their freedom is being taken. It's ridiculous and it crosses political boundaries. Yes, some go too far. But those are usually called out by others. There are too many extremists on both sides of the political discourse. The right doesn't call it canceling. But at its core and it's practice they do the same things. Then act like victims ALL THE TIME. Same as the left. Both ignore plenty of actual victims routinely. Because it will disturb the particular narrative they want to push. People are so fos.
I know many Americans (I am American) who are very smart and know nothing about their own history or geography or other countries, yet they became incredible surgeons or lawyers, or started some successful charities. There is a large segment of the American population that feel like intelligence should be directed towards a career, especially a money making career and why focus on things like history and geography that won't feed your kids. I'm not one of them or I wouldn't be watching this, but I have many acquaintances who are outstanding "in their field" in areas that I could never be (like medicine) and can't find their own state on a US map, "Who cares? I'm an award winning surgeon."
That's a very narrow mindset. Some people really like staying at one place for their whole life and doing the same things every single day. Such a life just seems soooo boring to me.
I’m genuinely impressed with both of these young ladies, but Shannon especially for how accurate and fair she is in her responses and just now level headed and mature she sounds (both of them). She’s charming and authentic. A fantastic representation of the U.S.
I find shannon so relatable! I can agree with like everything she says. would be fun if she was from NC - even my accent sounds like hers (moved to two different continents after NC so my accent changed and it now sounds like hers lol)
Not an American here (Albertan/Canadian), but the reason for the right to bear arms is to prevent governments from eroding citizen's rights without their approval. It is even mentioned within the full clause of the second amendment.
That idea died when tanks and fighter jets rolled off the assembly lines. Do you really think a US militia made up of citizens with guns can hold off a well-trained Army with tanks, a Navy long range missiles, an Air force with highly advanced fighter jets and bombers, Marines who specialize in stealth combat, all of whom are led by generals with combat experience? If that's what you think, you've been watching too much Red Dawn
@@bradcofo Yes because the the government would be too concerned about collateral damage to use their full arsenal. Armed citizens vastly outweigh the military. Our armed forces don't excel with guerilla warfare, and that's what we would have. They could never fully know who is a combatant. We were "no match" for the British but we used that underestimation to our advantage and kicked their asses out of our country. Even if we truly had no chance to stand against the government, that is all the more reason to hold true to our rights as stated in the constitution. Never roll over and let tyranny rule.
@J.Ruseva I honestly don't remember being tested on the constitution. But based on how my school taught stuff, they teach you one thing, test you at the end of the week or so then completely move on to something else until the final at the end of the year where the whole thing is multiple choice
Ikr. Like, thats not what a semi-automatic weapon does. I’m not even apart of the stereotypical “southern culture” and it still bugs me when pepl talk about guns yet have no idea what they are even saying.
@@Bellman1803 I honestly think it's a systemic issue that many people aren't willing to learn even a little about how guns function when the information is presented to them in a polite way. Having a discussion without understanding causes no end in frustration and confusion. I think knowing the difference between an automatic and a semi-automatic is important when it comes to discussing gun violence. Anyway, I deliberately said nothing about the "systemic issues" because I'm not interested in starting a discussion on gun control.
@@Trifler500 I appreciate your level response. But I still feel like it's the equivalent of asking for the average American to be as adept at investing their money in the stock market as the people who have had the benefit of the education in their lives to do so. These principles are not taught in schools. This sort of information is privy to the people who are privileged enough to know how to do so successfully. I recognize that this is a somewhat crude comparison, but all the same it's like this girl is expected to know the difference between a 401k and a Roth IRA. In both cases, how could you reasonably expect this twenty-something girl to know about any of these things?
@@Bellman1803 I really don't think that's a fair comparison of the complexities involved. The differences between automatic fire and semi-automatic fire can be described in two sentences. I'm not even into guns myself, but I like to know the basics on serious issues.
Most of the world has been at war with/declared independence from Britain at one time or another, the us is the only country with an unhealthy obsession with guns.
Yeah, I just got to comment on something, as no matter where you stand on the gun debate, people should make their arguments with truths. For example: semi-automatic weapons (which a large portion of handguns and rifles are in the U.S., btw) don’t spit out a thousands of bullets in a minute (that’s fully automatic). Semi-automatics are one trigger pull, one bullet. I’ve yet to see anyone who can pull a trigger anywhere near a thousand times in a minute. And you can only fire the number of rounds loaded in the magazine (NOT clip); I’ve never seen a magazine that holds thousands of rounds before-that would be too large to be practical. Now, you can argue that no one should even have THAT capacity, and you have your right to that belief. But please, use facts to convey those beliefs. And, no, I’m not a gun nut-I’ve never owned a firearm.
Most anti-gun people don't know shit about guns or the laws in place. They just repeat the fake garbage the left spews on CNN & other garbage news shows.
Dear Mare Cort, youtube is filled of videos showing people firing machine-guns as they drink a glass of water. Firing antitank rifles or rockets. Soft rules, no control. from Roma Italia
@@paolodiamante1884 This has nothing to do with my comment. Now, those videos you have mentioned: are they taken in the U.S.? Because if they are, maybe they should be reported to law enforcement because those with those types of weapons probably possess them illegally. You can’t purchase anti tank rifles or rockets in any gun store I’ve ever been in, and to purchase a “machine-gun” (I’m assuming you mean a fully automatic weapon) you must have s stringent background check that takes quite a while and is very, very expensive. As far as soft rules and no controls, that is not true. If you’d like to see facts about this, I’m happy to point out some TH-cam accounts that will give you these facts. Have a great day!
Was just thinking the same. The absurd part is that a lot of European countries are fine with people owning semi-autos for hunting/target shooting. America has issues for sure. But dishonest discussions is not the answer. Machine guns used in crimes are extremely rare in the US. While here in my home country (Sweden) they are used more commonly.
I was suprised that she had no idea why we have the 2nd amendment and why it's so important. The fact that people misuse their weapons is a different thing.
5:33 -- Shannon described a fully automatic weapon ("a ton of bullets in a second"), not a semiautomatic. All that means is one squeeze of the trigger = one bullet. Fully automatic are extremely difficult to get and very heavily regulated since the 1980s. Also, look up "journalists try to buy g-- same day, unable to do so." You'll find any number of stories & videos along those lines. It's so disheartening when people literally don't know what the issues are or how the hardware functions, then tell the rest of the country how to think in their ignorance.
Not only are fully auto heavily regulated, in half the states they are out right banned. If you live in the half that still allows fully auto guns, you get scrutinized if you own property in one of the states that out right bans them. Good luck getting the permit to purchase them. On top of that you can only buy from a select group of fully auto weapons (has to be made prior to 1986), the quantity of which depletes every year due to wear and tear, which then drives the price up on the available fully auto firearms. For all intents and purposes it's impossible to own fully auto firearms. And yet the myth persists that they are "everywhere" and "easy to buy".
If there is one thing the average American could be accused of complete stupidity on, it's gun laws. So many lies out there as partisans try to shepherd the sheep away from their essential rights.
I like when tourist come to the US or are planning on what they are going to do . New Tourist: We'll fly into New York, drive down to Florida the next day and then take maybe another day to Texas. Me: You are vastly underestimating some distances here.
5:37 you are already wrong, a semi-auto gun is one trigger pull means one round fired and most handguns are semi-auto, more people speaking about something they know nothing about. Also AR mean Armalite which is the company that made the gun designed for civilian use and doesn't mean Assualt Rifle. The term Assualt Weapon is stupid because literally anything can be used to assualt some like a hammer or knife, like the huge murder rate in the UK from knife attacks
It's far more likely that someone survives a knife attack than being shot. Every other first world nation's people grew up long ago and learned that unrestricted arming of private citizens is insane without a tangibly provable imminent need.
@@jwb52z9 lol actually that isn't true. And every time dictator has disarmed their populous.... so counters your point. Also a government that cannot checked tends to do what it wants like how free speech is only in America and you can be arrested in many EU countries for just "misgendering" someone or a joke. The 2nd Amendment protects the 1st and the 1st can protect the 2nd. Plus you still see criminals in these countries with with strict gun laws, with guns and they have pretty much free reign to do as they like because citizens can't fight back.
@@jwb52z9 also funny how you try to nitpick what I said but can't really prove me wrong. BTW knives kill more in America then guns. Medical Malpractice killed more people than guns in 2015, which by coincidently is how my grandfather died.
@@peterfunfstuck8094 well good for them and I know I don't care what you have to say soooo... why don't you reply to someone else. Also there are many ignorant people, like you, who aren't from America and don't know guns so trying to educate and give another side. I know personally freedom and the ability to defend yourself, your family and property is a foreign concept to most.
5:12 Cars are dangerous but people drive them, alcohol is dangerous but people drink it, smoking, piloting or fighting in planes, and I can go on and on. Would love to be on and go over the stats.
Those things, unlike firearms, have more than one use/function. A firearm's only function is to harm someone or something. Even in "defense", a firearm can only do so by harming someone or something. Many Americans do not find tha acceptable anymore.
Cars are designed to transport people. Alcohol is a by-product of a tasty drink. Piloting a plane (at least a commercial one) is meant for transportation. Firearms are meant for one thing only: to kill or at least injure. That puts firearms in a morally distinct category. I am not advocating banning them (they have a role under controlled circumstances), but every single person needs to view them clearly for what they are: instruments of violence. And every person who owns such a weapon needs to take the responsibility extremely seriously. By extension, every society worth the name has an interest in making sure that people do that. If you call that gun control, so be it. After all, many states have a "highway patrol" to make sure people drive responsibly, so why should firearms be exempt from regulation?
@@jwb52z9 Many Americans use firearms for hunting which serves the purpose of feeding their families. For example, if there weren’t deer hunters then the population would be so out of control that we would have even more people crashing their vehicles into and possibly dying after hitting deer than we do now. However, if everyone stopped drinking alcohol it wouldn’t have any negative consequences other than for the businesses that sell it. Also firearms are used for protection from animals not just people.
@@jwb52z9 lol and? Some people don't find eating meat acceptable sooooo... also if those Americans don't like it they can leave for another country that supports their ideas
@@johnalden5821 I never said no regulations whatsoever, just saying those laws only work against the law abiding and criminals by definition don't follow laws, the most gun strick states have the most gun deaths and rapes. Most/many rape victims say that they probably wouldn't have been raped if they had one and most rape survivors buy one after they were raped, guns are the great equalizer and actually protect women more than man since women are generally weaker on average.
Do this American “How are you” thing in Czech Republic and expect really honest answer how the person really feels. We would really tell you what is on our mind and usually what bother us in the moment, like work, boss, politics, etc :)😅
hahaha, this is so true! I have American, central European and Arab influence (lived there and have family from there) and this would be so different in all of these. in Central Europe (can't vouch for other parts of Europe) that literally means how are you and the person will tell you exactly how they feel like how you said. in the us you say how are you to literally everyone you meet and it even requires no reply. when asked this same question in arabic you always thank god and always say you're good (even if you're not) and then the question is repeated several times and we ask about how the family is and how their health is etc. (never-ending conversation).
4:03 I'm pretty sure she meant 'Chick-fil-A', not Chipotle. You put accent on 'po' when you say Chipotle. I am sure because I made that mistake before.
As a French, I am seeing how close we are to British people in the field of human interactions - yes, read again this revolutionary sentence and think twice about it, because I think it is usually really underestimated (old rivalry between bot nations, romance and german languages, and so forth...). We use "pardon" as they do for "sorry", and it is considered rude to directly jump into the conversation. Of course, like always, there are many differences between places, social groups and so on. But I discovered these last years how easy it was for me to understand the reactions of British people in my professional daily life.
"A semi-automatic firearm, also called a self-loading or autoloading firearm (fully automatic and selective fire firearms are also variations on self-loading firearms), is a repeating firearm whose action mechanism automatically loads a following round of cartridge into the chamber (self-loading) and prepares it for subsequent firing, but *requires the shooter to manually actuate the trigger in order to discharge each shot*."
She should have said alot of (not all) Americans are content at being ignorant about another cultures (this also includes the ones within the US itself) and figures that the world revolves around the US, which it does not....and yes I am a American myself so I know how ignorant some people are and they're happy to stay that way.
It is a very difficult reality for many Americans to accept that their country has many customs and traditions thanks to other countries and that in reality, the United States is a point of convergence of many cultures that coexist with each other. A simple example is the cowboys... for an average citizen of the United States, the cowboys were born in the United States and they are the maximum historical representation for the United States and something that many Americans believe with pride... but the reality is that the cowboys were originally born in Spain and their lifestyle was preserved in countries like the United States and Mexico... in deserted places for raising cattle and field work. Even with all this, another reality is that without the United States there would be so many things that would not exist today, since the United States has influenced both directly and indirectly in many events.
@@titanx7668 tbf cowboy culture is vastly different in the US than in Spain as it had influence and change by mostly black, native and mexican cowboys, what you said is true but also a lot of things that were not originally american and were brought to the USA by immigrants over time evolve and become distinctly American, like baseball or New York pizza which varies greatly from italian pizza

This is exactly whats wrong people aren't educated about something but still try to educate others. A semi automatic weapon is not the same as a automatic weapon. Semi automatic means you have to pull the trigger to shoot. So its impossible to shoot several rounds a sec with a semi automatic weapon which also includes pistols. So that part just sounded misinformed and spreads more misinformation
When she said what are the British famous for tea? I was kinda thinking to my self America, which is an even worse dig its like a dad who lives vicariously through his NBA star son.
I actually do agree with Shannon's characterization about America's problem pertaining to the freedom statement. It really is an extension of the political climate spilling over into everyday life whereas I think it was a lot more compartmentalized a long time ago.

True, she is really great
The US is pretty big. The interesting thing when our representative was talking was I was like that’s not all of us. You pretty much need two or three people from the United States in different places to get a more full view of the United States.
I'm half American half English. This one hits hard.
You are Ameri’ish
@@Idkwhattonamemyself545 😂😂😂😂😂
I think you mean British American 😅
😂😂😂
@@Beyondthe5thPanel half American half English is more specific. Anyone can be a British American with ancestors who are British. I am stating that one of my parents was English and I grew up with a strong mixture of both cultures. It's an important distinction. It's not only my great great grandpa who is English, but my mother.
Aussies also say sorry instead of excuse me if we bump into someone by accident. If someone said excuse me in that situation, I'd think, "Why, do you need to get past me?" We usually only say excuse me if we need someone to get out of our way or we're trying to get their attention.
yup same for the uk
In Ireland this is the same, but even to get someone's attention, we usually say "sorry" instead. Like if we were calling a waiter or a staff member somewhere to ask a question, we'd often say "Sorry, could I have a ___ please?" for example.
This two is carrying this channel for me.
So it’s interesting to see an English woman and an American one exchanging but… why do they need to torture this poor Scottish buzzer ?😂

The hug at the end was great. Good to see that between these two countries.
As someone living in North Carolina I feel so seen having my beloved Cook Out get mentioned!
The UK apology is like the USA “no offense” or “pardon me”.
@9:03 Shannon is not exaggerating one bit. Me, a Swede, in Miami in 2006. Going inside an elevator. A random American instantly "Hi, how're you doing" and seconds later "What do you do? [for a living]".
I was shocked. That is unheard of in Sweden and northern Europe in general.
A similar story from San Diego. I was there for a business meeting and got on an elevator in a suit (I am East Coast). At the pool level, a guy gets on bare naked from the waist up, wearing a towel around his lower half. Smiling, he says, "Man that felt good. You should take a dip. It's so hot out." I assume he was wearing a bathing suit, but my East-Coast sensibility would have prevented me from getting on an elevator, dripping, in a business hotel. The key word for Americans is "informal." It's a code that we live by. There are just different versions of the code.
In latinamérica is very similar.
When they ask how you’re doing they don’t mean it in a literal sense 🤦🏻♂️. It’s just another way of saying hi by starting a conversation
I'm starting to believe that, apart from "barbarian" countries, every occidental country is just like that.
@@luisangelgorostizaga1246 That’s why I feel more comfortable traveling in Latin America than in Europe. The people are more warm and friendly and welcoming to strangers IMO. Caribbean is like that too.
Love this video! Shannon - I hope you get the chance to visit New England at some point, especially in the Fall when the leaves are changing color. We might not be as friendly as the people down south, but we're nice when you get to know us!

"What's the UK famous for except fish and chips?" - Lauren! It's been 8 years since I've last been in the UK and I'm really longing for scones with clotted cream and some jam. How can you not mention that?
That fact that she thinks the Constitutional right to bear arms is about self defense is why she doesn't understand how people can support it. The US Constitution does not grant people rights, it is supposed to prevent the government from infringing upon their innate rights, because the Founders knew that the biggest threat to liberty is the government itself. The first amendment is the same (and all others); it does not grant the right to free speech or religion, it prohibits the Congress from passing laws that curtail those freedoms.
I just wanted to bring this up in connection with the semi-automatic gun mentioned, a semi-automatic gun in fact does not fire loads of bullets in a second, it's one bullet to one trigger pull. An automatic gun shoots loads of bullets but those are banned in the US.
Did you really expect a left leaning Gen Z girl to know that?
@@Ailurophile1984 Were you my summer camp counselor? That would be wild. Anyway, you are focusing on the wrong aspect of the debate. Bump stocks exist. And even beyond that, the only major difference is a person's ability to pull a trigger repeatedly rather than hold it down. Not much.
She just meant that you could pull the trigger (and subsequently fire rounds) multiple times a second, whereas something like a bolt action rifle can only be fired once every two seconds or so.
Yes and they were weapons of war until WW2 probably after as well along side semi automatic fire arms and automatic firearms.
The military has done studies and it shows that more bullets doesn’t equal more killing.
The question was stupid. More people are killed by cars, food, and I’d be willing to bet things like medication. The idea that something should be banned or tightly controlled because it can be dangerous is silly.
Thank you, sorry this girl need stay away from politics.
There’s a difference between stupidity and ignorance, despite the fact that they usually go hand in hand. There’s a lot Americans aren’t taught about the world around us and because we’re so caught up in our own issues, many sadly don’t care.
But to make a sweeping statement that “Americans are stupid” after we accomplished so much in the fields of science and industry is in and of itself a little ignorant.
Oh, but that really wasn't us, we just took ideas from other countries and claimed them as our own!! Or so the argument goes🙄

@@Beledal Right!!!
Part of the issue is that the idea of a "well-rounded education" or liberal arts and humanities has passed out of relevance in the U.S. I say that without value judgement, really. The U.S. is competitive, and people with STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) competence and expertise are making all of the money, it seems. So, really, generalized humanities topics are seen as pointless and unnecessary. Sure, these people are going to lose on quiz shows. But they stand to get the big house, car and boat down the line. Can you blame them if they don't know a Plantagenet from a pierogi?
@@johnalden5821 Well put. Thankfully there are many organizations in America who are pushing to keep the “non-STEM” subjects alive and prevalent. In a country filled with ignorance and greed, there are still many who see the value in understanding history and our fellow man.
I’m American and I believe stupid people exist in every country including my own. But then one must ask how they define “stupid”. I have met people from different countries who weren’t fully literate in the native language and had little formal education. Typically anywhere in the world whenever people are poor they tend to have less access to and fewer resources to travel. Also there is a difference between don’t know and don’t care. I read at least 10 news websites a day and the tv in my office is usually tuned to a cable news network. But that is for work. I only have a passing personal interest in other countries’ politics and I don’t appreciate non-Americans trying to engage me in conversations about US politics which has happened a lot. I don’t ask non-Americans about their countries’ policies nor do I tell them my unsolicited opinions on what their countries do.
Also I don’t really agree about the fast food thing but maybe it depends on where you live, your situation and your cultural background. I eat out a lot. I don’t eat fast food a lot. For one thing FF doesn’t tend to serve a lot of the foods we eat that require more preparation time like meat loaf, pot roast, ribs, jambalaya to name a few. I grew up eating Shepherds Pie. However, I don’t have children. I find that most people I know who have children tend to cook a lot. We have people in the country who are receiving government aid to buy food. Fast food restaurants don’t take food stamps. I highly doubt most people can afford to take two adults and four kids to McDonald’s or wherever every day. It’s the fact that we have so many people that these companies can do a lot of business but doesn’t mean everyone constantly goes.
Vast majority of the USA are stupid.
In other countries it's very little
The "free country" one was weird. She saying that yes if you have a certain opinion people will put you in a certain category but that doesn't mean your freedoms are taken away. Some people make the mistake of wanting to do what they want with out any judgement or criticism. But just because someone criticizes you doesn't mean you're not free. You can say and do what you want but don't expect not to get a reaction.
Cancel culture is a little more than "criticism" in many cases.
He is correct. The vast majority of the whining. Is due to people getting criticized for their opinions. So many whine and pretend their freedom is being taken. It's ridiculous and it crosses political boundaries.
Yes, some go too far. But those are usually called out by others.
There are too many extremists on both sides of the political discourse. The right doesn't call it canceling. But at its core and it's practice they do the same things. Then act like victims ALL THE TIME. Same as the left. Both ignore plenty of actual victims routinely. Because it will disturb the particular narrative they want to push.
People are so fos.
I know many Americans (I am American) who are very smart and know nothing about their own history or geography or other countries, yet they became incredible surgeons or lawyers, or started some successful charities. There is a large segment of the American population that feel like intelligence should be directed towards a career, especially a money making career and why focus on things like history and geography that won't feed your kids. I'm not one of them or I wouldn't be watching this, but I have many acquaintances who are outstanding "in their field" in areas that I could never be (like medicine) and can't find their own state on a US map, "Who cares? I'm an award winning surgeon."
That's a very narrow mindset. Some people really like staying at one place for their whole life and doing the same things every single day. Such a life just seems soooo boring to me.
It's "right to bear arms" not " right to bare arms" 😭🤣🤣🤣 totally different meaning
Bruh they really changed Chick-fil-A to Chipotle in the subtitles
Chick-fil-A, Chipotle, same thing. 😉

Lauren and Shannon💙 I loved everything but the hug at the end...it was the pinnacle!I like them very much!🇧🇷
I’ve lived in the Uk and the most common phrase is “sorry about that”. Literally they are apologizing 24/7 without meaning it😅😅
Not an American here (Albertan/Canadian), but the reason for the right to bear arms is to prevent governments from eroding citizen's rights without their approval. It is even mentioned within the full clause of the second amendment.
I was shocked at the answer that she provided. Seemed very uneducated considering you have to pass the constitution test to graduate high school.
That idea died when tanks and fighter jets rolled off the assembly lines. Do you really think a US militia made up of citizens with guns can hold off a well-trained Army with tanks, a Navy long range missiles, an Air force with highly advanced fighter jets and bombers, Marines who specialize in stealth combat, all of whom are led by generals with combat experience? If that's what you think, you've been watching too much Red Dawn
Young women are usually very trusting of their government, so it's natural that they couldn't imagine having to fight in a revolution (god forbid).
@@bradcofo Yes because the the government would be too concerned about collateral damage to use their full arsenal. Armed citizens vastly outweigh the military. Our armed forces don't excel with guerilla warfare, and that's what we would have. They could never fully know who is a combatant. We were "no match" for the British but we used that underestimation to our advantage and kicked their asses out of our country. Even if we truly had no chance to stand against the government, that is all the more reason to hold true to our rights as stated in the constitution. Never roll over and let tyranny rule.
@J.Ruseva I honestly don't remember being tested on the constitution. But based on how my school taught stuff, they teach you one thing, test you at the end of the week or so then completely move on to something else until the final at the end of the year where the whole thing is multiple choice
“Chipotle” is not Chick-Fil-A 😂
Correct. It is better.
Cook out is the best. Also a semi automatic gun is almost 100% of guns.
Just wanted to point out that what Shannon described would be an "automatic" weapon, not a "semi-automatic" weapon.
Ikr. Like, thats not what a semi-automatic weapon does. I’m not even apart of the stereotypical “southern culture” and it still bugs me when pepl talk about guns yet have no idea what they are even saying.
You're only pointing out semantics. You're not saying anything about systemic issues.
@@Bellman1803 I honestly think it's a systemic issue that many people aren't willing to learn even a little about how guns function when the information is presented to them in a polite way. Having a discussion without understanding causes no end in frustration and confusion. I think knowing the difference between an automatic and a semi-automatic is important when it comes to discussing gun violence. Anyway, I deliberately said nothing about the "systemic issues" because I'm not interested in starting a discussion on gun control.
@@Trifler500 I appreciate your level response. But I still feel like it's the equivalent of asking for the average American to be as adept at investing their money in the stock market as the people who have had the benefit of the education in their lives to do so. These principles are not taught in schools. This sort of information is privy to the people who are privileged enough to know how to do so successfully. I recognize that this is a somewhat crude comparison, but all the same it's like this girl is expected to know the difference between a 401k and a Roth IRA. In both cases, how could you reasonably expect this twenty-something girl to know about any of these things?
@@Bellman1803 I really don't think that's a fair comparison of the complexities involved. The differences between automatic fire and semi-automatic fire can be described in two sentences. I'm not even into guns myself, but I like to know the basics on serious issues.
The whole reason the 2nd ammendment exists is because of the British………😂
Most of the world has been at war with/declared independence from Britain at one time or another, the us is the only country with an unhealthy obsession with guns.
Some of the English spellings in the subtitles are hilarious. Apparently shepherds pie is made with "mints" !!
Yeah, I just got to comment on something, as no matter where you stand on the gun debate, people should make their arguments with truths.
For example: semi-automatic weapons (which a large portion of handguns and rifles are in the U.S., btw) don’t spit out a thousands of bullets in a minute (that’s fully automatic). Semi-automatics are one trigger pull, one bullet. I’ve yet to see anyone who can pull a trigger anywhere near a thousand times in a minute. And you can only fire the number of rounds loaded in the magazine (NOT clip); I’ve never seen a magazine that holds thousands of rounds before-that would be too large to be practical.
Now, you can argue that no one should even have THAT capacity, and you have your right to that belief. But please, use facts to convey those beliefs.
And, no, I’m not a gun nut-I’ve never owned a firearm.
Most anti-gun people don't know shit about guns or the laws in place. They just repeat the fake garbage the left spews on CNN & other garbage news shows.
Dear Mare Cort, youtube is filled of videos showing people firing machine-guns as they drink a glass of water. Firing antitank rifles or rockets. Soft rules, no control.
from Roma Italia
@@paolodiamante1884 This has nothing to do with my comment.
Now, those videos you have mentioned: are they taken in the U.S.? Because if they are, maybe they should be reported to law enforcement because those with those types of weapons probably possess them illegally. You can’t purchase anti tank rifles or rockets in any gun store I’ve ever been in, and to purchase a “machine-gun” (I’m assuming you mean a fully automatic weapon) you must have s stringent background check that takes quite a while and is very, very expensive.
As far as soft rules and no controls, that is not true. If you’d like to see facts about this, I’m happy to point out some TH-cam accounts that will give you these facts.
Have a great day!
Was just thinking the same. The absurd part is that a lot of European countries are fine with people owning semi-autos for hunting/target shooting. America has issues for sure. But dishonest discussions is not the answer. Machine guns used in crimes are extremely rare in the US. While here in my home country (Sweden) they are used more commonly.
I was suprised that she had no idea why we have the 2nd amendment and why it's so important. The fact that people misuse their weapons is a different thing.
5:33 -- Shannon described a fully automatic weapon ("a ton of bullets in a second"), not a semiautomatic. All that means is one squeeze of the trigger = one bullet. Fully automatic are extremely difficult to get and very heavily regulated since the 1980s. Also, look up "journalists try to buy g-- same day, unable to do so." You'll find any number of stories & videos along those lines. It's so disheartening when people literally don't know what the issues are or how the hardware functions, then tell the rest of the country how to think in their ignorance.
Not only are fully auto heavily regulated, in half the states they are out right banned. If you live in the half that still allows fully auto guns, you get scrutinized if you own property in one of the states that out right bans them. Good luck getting the permit to purchase them. On top of that you can only buy from a select group of fully auto weapons (has to be made prior to 1986), the quantity of which depletes every year due to wear and tear, which then drives the price up on the available fully auto firearms. For all intents and purposes it's impossible to own fully auto firearms. And yet the myth persists that they are "everywhere" and "easy to buy".
Really only the military has fully automatic weapons.
If there is one thing the average American could be accused of complete stupidity on, it's gun laws. So many lies out there as partisans try to shepherd the sheep away from their essential rights.
I'm an American, and I always like to use the weather as a beginning conversation piece. Works for me.

Shannon is such a joy. She answers things very eloquently. Jeep bringing her back. Ice to also see a southerner as well and not just coastal people
5:37 you are already wrong, a semi-auto gun is one trigger pull means one round fired and most handguns are semi-auto, more people speaking about something they know nothing about. Also AR mean Armalite which is the company that made the gun designed for civilian use and doesn't mean Assualt Rifle. The term Assualt Weapon is stupid because literally anything can be used to assualt some like a hammer or knife, like the huge murder rate in the UK from knife attacks
It's far more likely that someone survives a knife attack than being shot. Every other first world nation's people grew up long ago and learned that unrestricted arming of private citizens is insane without a tangibly provable imminent need.
@@jwb52z9 lol actually that isn't true. And every time dictator has disarmed their populous.... so counters your point. Also a government that cannot checked tends to do what it wants like how free speech is only in America and you can be arrested in many EU countries for just "misgendering" someone or a joke. The 2nd Amendment protects the 1st and the 1st can protect the 2nd. Plus you still see criminals in these countries with with strict gun laws, with guns and they have pretty much free reign to do as they like because citizens can't fight back.
@@jwb52z9 also funny how you try to nitpick what I said but can't really prove me wrong. BTW knives kill more in America then guns. Medical Malpractice killed more people than guns in 2015, which by coincidently is how my grandfather died.

I haven’t
It was nice and pleasant to watch the video, to train brains with new lexic and to learn and practice phrases
Loved the video. Very funny.
To a large degree, proximity dictates knowledge.
5:12 Cars are dangerous but people drive them, alcohol is dangerous but people drink it, smoking, piloting or fighting in planes, and I can go on and on. Would love to be on and go over the stats.
Those things, unlike firearms, have more than one use/function. A firearm's only function is to harm someone or something. Even in "defense", a firearm can only do so by harming someone or something. Many Americans do not find tha acceptable anymore.
Cars are designed to transport people. Alcohol is a by-product of a tasty drink. Piloting a plane (at least a commercial one) is meant for transportation. Firearms are meant for one thing only: to kill or at least injure. That puts firearms in a morally distinct category.
I am not advocating banning them (they have a role under controlled circumstances), but every single person needs to view them clearly for what they are: instruments of violence. And every person who owns such a weapon needs to take the responsibility extremely seriously. By extension, every society worth the name has an interest in making sure that people do that. If you call that gun control, so be it. After all, many states have a "highway patrol" to make sure people drive responsibly, so why should firearms be exempt from regulation?
@@jwb52z9 Many Americans use firearms for hunting which serves the purpose of feeding their families. For example, if there weren’t deer hunters then the population would be so out of control that we would have even more people crashing their vehicles into and possibly dying after hitting deer than we do now. However, if everyone stopped drinking alcohol it wouldn’t have any negative consequences other than for the businesses that sell it. Also firearms are used for protection from animals not just people.
@@jwb52z9 lol and? Some people don't find eating meat acceptable sooooo... also if those Americans don't like it they can leave for another country that supports their ideas
@@johnalden5821 I never said no regulations whatsoever, just saying those laws only work against the law abiding and criminals by definition don't follow laws, the most gun strick states have the most gun deaths and rapes. Most/many rape victims say that they probably wouldn't have been raped if they had one and most rape survivors buy one after they were raped, guns are the great equalizer and actually protect women more than man since women are generally weaker on average.
Oh thank you! Now I finally know how 'segue' is spelled :D

Even though that's what we do in the US, it actually makes more sense on how you guys do it.
hahaha, this is so true! I have American, central European and Arab influence (lived there and have family from there) and this would be so different in all of these. in Central Europe (can't vouch for other parts of Europe) that literally means how are you and the person will tell you exactly how they feel like how you said. in the us you say how are you to literally everyone you meet and it even requires no reply. when asked this same question in arabic you always thank god and always say you're good (even if you're not) and then the question is repeated several times and we ask about how the family is and how their health is etc. (never-ending conversation).
It’s pretty much the same here in the US. Most common response is, “Good, you?”
4:03 I'm pretty sure she meant 'Chick-fil-A', not Chipotle. You put accent on 'po' when you say Chipotle. I am sure because I made that mistake before.
agree with you.. about to type it..
As a French, I am seeing how close we are to British people in the field of human interactions - yes, read again this revolutionary sentence and think twice about it, because I think it is usually really underestimated (old rivalry between bot nations, romance and german languages, and so forth...). We use "pardon" as they do for "sorry", and it is considered rude to directly jump into the conversation. Of course, like always, there are many differences between places, social groups and so on. But I discovered these last years how easy it was for me to understand the reactions of British people in my professional daily life.
Those subtitles sure could use some extensive proof reading. The right to bare arms!
Yes, but that one was funny... 🤣💪💪
We all know that US Americans have an issue with public nudity. But arms seem to be an exemption...
They have a hard time with Engrish
Also shepherds pie is not made with mince not mints - though mint might be a decent herb to add if you're making one with mutton/lamb.
"A semi-automatic firearm, also called a self-loading or autoloading firearm (fully automatic and selective fire firearms are also variations on self-loading firearms), is a repeating firearm whose action mechanism automatically loads a following round of cartridge into the chamber (self-loading) and prepares it for subsequent firing, but *requires the shooter to manually actuate the trigger in order to discharge each shot*."

She should have said alot of (not all) Americans are content at being ignorant about another cultures (this also includes the ones within the US itself) and figures that the world revolves around the US, which it does not....and yes I am a American myself so I know how ignorant some people are and they're happy to stay that way.
It is a very difficult reality for many Americans to accept that their country has many customs and traditions thanks to other countries and that in reality, the United States is a point of convergence of many cultures that coexist with each other. A simple example is the cowboys... for an average citizen of the United States, the cowboys were born in the United States and they are the maximum historical representation for the United States and something that many Americans believe with pride... but the reality is that the cowboys were originally born in Spain and their lifestyle was preserved in countries like the United States and Mexico... in deserted places for raising cattle and field work. Even with all this, another reality is that without the United States there would be so many things that would not exist today, since the United States has influenced both directly and indirectly in many events.
@@titanx7668 tbf cowboy culture is vastly different in the US than in Spain as it had influence and change by mostly black, native and mexican cowboys, what you said is true but also a lot of things that were not originally american and were brought to the USA by immigrants over time evolve and become distinctly American, like baseball or New York pizza which varies greatly from italian pizza

I remember saying sorry in a bar in Manchester after someone bumped into me, later being told that someone was actually "pulling me" and my naiv self didn't realize it. 😂
oh god, is that the same in Ireland because that was happening to me at some bars and I thought people were just rude 😂
When americans say "pardon me" it makes me laugh, as where I come from, it means I have farted!!
You both are great
Can confirm cajun fries are the best thing ever at Cookout lol, and their shakes are pretty good.
cook out is the best fast food chain. can confirm.
This is exactly whats wrong people aren't educated about something but still try to educate others. A semi automatic weapon is not the same as a automatic weapon. Semi automatic means you have to pull the trigger to shoot. So its impossible to shoot several rounds a sec with a semi automatic weapon which also includes pistols. So that part just sounded misinformed and spreads more misinformation
It is the first time I realized that the US has so much more body language while they talk in comparison to the UK.
When she said what are the British famous for tea? I was kinda thinking to my self America, which is an even worse dig its like a dad who lives vicariously through his NBA star son.
I actually do agree with Shannon's characterization about America's problem pertaining to the freedom statement. It really is an extension of the political climate spilling over into everyday life whereas I think it was a lot more compartmentalized a long time ago.
Great video
Love these four girls, these are quality just what I love about them. these two on screen and Cristeena and the ozy lass.
Just the British people say sorry frequently while the State remains un-apologetic.
My version of the UK is definitely not posh lol
When she was saying how big the US is. Australia has the same land mass as the US
I'm so glad these ladies don't make important decisions for their countries.
Lauren you're bloody adorable 🥰
you're so funny, i can't stop laughing with you 😂
Wait a second!!! America clearly said her favorite fast food places are CHICK-fil-A and Cookout. NOT Chipotle!!! Why y'all hatin' on the Lord's chicken?
Tea and biscuits, starting conversation with topics of weather. Now I realise the similarities of British culture with my Malaysian culture.
British were the colonisers
this channel is good rare thing in the midst of chaos in youtube right now, collaboration is a must, giving an upbringing content, wholesome video. i like it.
I was impressed that Shannon realises that the US is not quite as free as they make out to be.
it's one of those things i love about americans, they will just ask the stranger how she/he's doing, plus the endearments, love love love it wow💕. you dont hear it here in the philippines i had fun watching you lovelies 💕
ps: i sooo love listening to british accent i wish i could speak like that 😁
My girlfriend is lives in the Philippines and is Filipina, I am wanting to brink here to America but she is hesitant
@@patrioticz2858 aaaw ... maybe in time she will :-)
We have the right to bear arms that’s the 2nd amendment and how we got our independence from the Brits.
