2-HeadedGiraffe: The Death Penalty, The English System, and Soccer
What makes this country odd?
The Death Penalty, from what I hear, is only used in the United States of America (as far as quote unquote developed countries are concerned). That may or may not be true. If anyone knows of another fairly modernized, well-off country that uses it, feel free to correct me. I just remember hearing that tidbit somewhere.
The English System, which they do not use in England (though I believe it retains the name of its place of origin), is the awkward, clunky, irregular American answer to the Metric System used by most of the world.
Soccer, which is referred to pretty much everywhere else as football, is a game in which you primarily use your feet, where as the game Americans call football mostly uses the hands (with the exceptions of kickoffs and field goals, and probably a thing or two I'm forgetting). There is only one country I know of where "football" involves so little foot action.
What's my point here? Some things almost seem like they're done in America just for the sake of being different, even when they don't make as much sense.
(this post is not meant to be taken too seriously, though I would be interested in any major factual errors.)
The Death Penalty:: Texas Justice
The English System:: That confusing thing they don
Soccer:: Football
