its a complicated story, it is illegal. In the 50's everyone deamed dodgeball as unamerican and a commie sport because the ball was red. Dodgeball then faded out of american lifestyle and now we see it reappear into the mainstream

because americans are afraid to be a part of the group... they want to look like the outsiders/dominators.... stupid if you ask me, especially when both our sothern and nothern neighboors trade and work with the metric system everyday!

I found that there is a new VH1 and it is called VH1 Europe but it is not allowed in the US, Why.\nI found that there is a  VH1-classic and it is 1000xbetter than the one you watch in the US, Why!\nSo, VH1 top 100 covers and samples are found at their HQ over in NY, or go to England.

If you live in America, it is likely because our roads aren't build to handle the speed.  Move to or visit Germany.  I don't think they have speed limits on the autobahns (Edit:  Apparently, some parts of the autobahns do have speed limits, but not all - see the website I posted).\n\nhttp://gettingaroundgermany.home.att.net/autobahn.htm

That would be "counter-clockwise" not "anti-clockwise". Motor sports in Australia are generally run with the drivers turning right on ovals, so that's probably what you saw, unless you are referring to a road course.

Some NASCAR sites claim that it is for the safety of the driver, racing that way keeps him as far away from the wall as possible.  But a lot of sites claim that car and horse racing are counter-clockwise as a protest to the British from years back...\n\n"It is felt that the American practice of racing counter-clockwise began at this track, in response to anti-British feeling at the time. The British raced in a clockwise direction."

Because America is so arrogant that it doesn't think it needs to join in with the rest of the civilized world and use the metric system like everyone else. Before you all start, yes, I'm American.

Most Americans are not fortunate enough to find opportuinty to travel (ie. costs alot, or prior responsibilities limit travel).  They find comfort to in their common surroundings while most humans do as well.\n\nThe US is also a VERY large country (almost as big as Europe) so travel in the US is like travelling in the EU but without the different languages.\n\nAmericans also are notorious to NOT learn a second language, and this seriously limits travel options.\n\nKeep travelling!

I am in the US I don't know what city you are in. I know that the washington dc area sees alot of street racing as well as LA and southern california plus many of the big cities in Florida like Miami, etc.

The reason is so that racers are crossing the field of vision going left to right, which is standard convention for western societies (just like reading). BTW, counter-clockwise is the standard in Europe as well as for the Olympics (a European invention) and only the kooky British drive on the right side of the road while the rest of Europe is on the right like us.

No one really knows why they were called french fries in the first place, since they were invented in America.  It is very obvious we had them longer than the french, just walk down a city street in america and try to find a girl to pick up, then do the same thing in france!  I will bet you anything the french girl will get picked up first, mainly because her legs won't make noise from rubbing together when she walks.  And as far as hypocrites go, look who leads our country!  He has a campaign against drugs, yet did cocaine, and he is pondering starting a draft, when he himself went awol during the Nam.  now that i have said that, i realize how sad we are, i think i'm goign to move!  how hard is it to get a visa in France?
