You can drive for 16 hours and still be in Texas, the european mind cannot comprehend this! <

Yeah because driving 16 hours straight is stupid because you would just take the train and be driven 16 hours straight.

Car centric infrastructure should have never been introduced.

I never get this argument of US Americans against public transport. Even in europe most public transport happens within one city, I don't regulary drive to another country

I'm genuinely curious if people actually use the phrase 'US Americans', or if it's a reference to that Miss Teen USA contestant rambling about world peace

I spent a few months in Germany years ago, and "Americans" (Amerikaner) tended to be used to refer to people from the Americas (either NA specifically or NA and SA collectively) in my experience. If you wanted to say someone was from the US, you'd say something more like "aus den USA."
