I remember a european who thought every day in the USA was a movie shootout.
I had an ex-girl friend who had a sister who married a German national. He forbade his wife to travel by car on American highways when she visited due to the unbelievable amount of deaths by shooting that occurred on a daily basis on our highways. It was all I could do to keep from falling down laughing. Needless to say when we took my girl friends sister and her children on drives around the area, nobody was shot to death. We did however see quite a few animals who were killed by their odd practice of taking naps in the middle of the road.
No doubt about it. I’ve met Euros (Asians too) who believe movies and TV shows represent American life. You can even tell them they’re not real. It has little effect.
