@@dner75-xh9le Although most Danes speak English, it is not their first language, driksett! That would be Danish, which has similar word order in sentence as English as they are actually closely related Germanic languages on different branches of the tree. But verbs are much simpler to conjugate in Danish. So no, that is not what he meant. Nor could you determine what he was thinking based on that. But you'd know that if you had ever considered that a non native English speaker might not choose their words the same as you do. You proffered a perfect example of a stereotype not mentioned in the video! Americans think everyone uses English the same way they do and they have little to no understanding of other languages and how those same foreign speakers will use English in a different manner. You are coming to a questionable (I mean to say bullshit) conclusion based on overthinking what a Danish person said in English. Trust me, he is keeping his English simple. You are reading far too much into it. BTW...I am American but had a Norwegian mother and learned Norwegian from her from birth, English at the same time, both the way children acquire languages. Norwegian bokmål and Danish are mutually intelligible languages once the Danes spit out the potato. So I understand how one might answer the question the way he did in English due to the language he grew up speaking. Sorry for being rude. That's the American side of me being loud and boisterous.

Almost all Danes speak English well these days. They learn it in school and hear it everyday on TV and the radio. You will find Danes with less education who have a harder time with English. You might notice that many of the Danes on this video also had American accents. That's because they probably spent some time living in the US. You will also find Danes with British accents for the same reason.

@Little: My grandfather used to travel to France for business, and my cousin was there visiting when he was stationed in Europe. I've been told in Paris they are not fond of Americans, but if you go farther our near Normandy they actually like us, so I try not to associate Paris with France, the same way Washington shouldn't be associated with all of the US. To be honest, I'm not surprised though. Moore is super liberal, even for liberal standards here in the US. I will be living in Europe soon enough. And I certainly have no intention of going to Paris. A lot (though not all) city dwellers tend to be pompous stuck up assholes, and that's unfortunately not just Paris. Hopefully they don't feel the same way in Luxembourg city, since that's my first place i'll be visiting.

The thing is, our education is not consistently terrible. You can get the best education your family can afford- that's the problem. You see, in the U.S. public schools are funded by property taxes. If you live in a poor neighborhood with low property values then your school district doesn't have a lot to work with. Conversely, if you live in an affluent and desirable neighborhood and your property values are really high, then your school district will be able to afford the best of pretty much everything. And of course this also means that you can probably afford the betetr universities which also have the highest tuition, whereas the rest of us may have to settle for Generic State U instead of Harvard or UCLA or Duke.

Daniel Lunsford Absolutely true! To add to that! We are only allowed to send our kids to the public schools near us, unless we pay for private schools. So that means if the schools near us are sub standard we must move our family to a better school district. Here in Missouri, we moved five miles farther and have top rated schools, however friends near us who can not move, have low rated schools. Not an equal way to distribute money for education in the US. This goes for my teacher friends too. The property taxes fund the teachers salaries, so the higher districts pay higher, this usually means getting more mature, seasoned teachers. It is just a flawed system where even those trying to make a better way for their children are stuck in substandard schools.

Pretty much everything you are stating is just not correct. Sure, this all is good and applies to public school but even here, in Canada public school is shit. It doesn't matter where you live in America. I can assure you that you have access to free, state-funded online schooling that wants you to enroll your kid. They will even send you a new *free* laptop and all the materials (more so than those you would *pay* for in public school) and it is *free!* They will even pay for part or all of your Internet provider bill to ensure you have constant access to their online school. Do some research before you just doom your kid to mediocrity and stupidity. I did. I lived in a crappy place in America. I feared for my kid's safety that they would have to attend a public school. It was that bad. I did a simple search and was amazed at how easy it is to get a better than private school education at an online school. The reports are immediate. If the kid is accelerating at a pace that puts them in the next grade level for their skill in a certain subject, it happens. Boom. No waiting or holding them back because the other kids feel inferior. Everything is smooth and the communication is near instant. Look it up. Stop acting like there isn't a choice.

@@roflstomps324 True 'access' is readily available, but if I may point something else out that is perhaps a factor. To get an online education for your child, you (the parent or guardian or close relative with permission) need to be present. For some, if not many, in America there just isn't a good support system. You will find that both parents or guardians have to work just to get by with the necessities of living, not counting the single parents trying to make it. Not all areas have available daycare or daycare that would help the child(ren) with education. Being able or getting help to pay for daycare is also not easy for some. Also, if you don't follow the regulations that come with homeschooling, you may find yourself talking with a child protection agency, because clearly you don't have "adulting" down quite right lol.

Well that isnt true in Texas. Funding DOES NOT stay withing the school district, it is sent to Austin, and then redistributed to each school based on school attendance. Large schools get more total funds than small schools, regardless of school location. It's called the "Robin Hood Law" (Take from the rich, give to the poor). What make some schools better than others is quality of teachers and involvement of parents. All schools suffer because of wasted time dealing with juvenile delinquents, moronic social indoctrinations, and overall federal government interference. At least down here it works that way.

There are many lazy Americans that wouldn't have the Scandinavian work ethic if they were allowed to not work and still be provided for. I find it scandalous that a single person with no children who makes 8,000 Euros a month (high salary) in many European countries will pay 4,000 Euros (or more) in taxes/ social security/ insurance. You are punishing that person for (likely) getting an education and working hard. What is the incentive for working hard in Scandinavia? Paying taxes to help other people? It surely can't be to get more money, because you are going to lose half of the extra money you make to taxes! In the US, we keep most of what we make. It is not good to be upper middle class in Europe. It is very good in the US. Of course, the company owners, royalty, and sports stars in Europe can overcome this high tax, but it is nearly impossible to break into the upper echelon in Europe. If you are uneducated, don't like to work hard or many hours, or if you are not healthy, then I would rather be in Europe. My brother-in-law works as a consultant in Berlin (he's German) and I keep telling him he'd be better off in the US. He can't really argue with me.

Freedom means being responsible for yourself and accepting the consequences of your actions. We could probably afford to have awesome social programs if we weren't spending so much money to defend the seas and allow for free trade. Maybe if Europe paid their fair share to defend them. Seriously their military is pathetic other than the UK. The national guard of any state could probably subjugate all of Europe.

although we pay way to much tax in Denmark , we actually pay more than any other country now (for a while the no 1 was France)nobody actually pay 50% of their wage , the average payed income tax is around 34% , people who earn a lot pay a little more, that said with 25% vat, and tax on everything it can end up being around 50% , one thing that you have to include when comparing wage or living standard is how many hours a year does an American work compare to a Dane or German ? , Danes have 5-6 weeks of vacation plus a lot of religious holidays and work 37 hours a week on full time , how much they earn compare to the US depends on the job, a doctor in the US earns more, but a blue color worker in Denmark earn way more than in the US, same with people in the service sector they earn a better living than in the US , and you can't compare one European country to another , things in Germany is very different than Denmark there are way more "working poor" in Germany @@TomWatsonB1

Before posting this comment I tried to see things from that person's position. I decided there was no use trying to understand misogyny and hate toward another person.

Personality and political opinions are complex and I doubt it can be summed up as "two types of americans". Personally, I think the two party system in America (I know there is more but only two major) is rather hurtful as I feel like it take away the careful logical considerations behind choosing the politics you stand behind and instead narrow it down to what opportunist preachers from both sides manage to take the most advantage of vulnerable people. Democratic politics isn't one right and one wrong side, it is about representing and listening to the entire population's wishes and then making a compromise benefitting as many people as possible. Something many americans has forgotten with their "choose which side is our saviour and who is the evil spawn from hell"-politics.

I believe your confusion stems from the fact that you hear "too friendly" and think "that's nice" while most danes would consider people being right up in your face as an annoyance. In general terms Danes appreciate long lasting close relationship but detest superficial interaction. A good example is: If a person asks you how you are, a Dane would assume you want to hear how the person actually is, down to the detail. Americans, in general terms, view this form of interaction more as a greeting which clashes greatly with the danish culture. The result is often that Danes view Americans as superficial and overly friendly.

I think the woman who said that Americans use the phrase, "How are you doing?" just as a greeting phrase is correct. I say it to strangers all the time, almost each time I go out and in turn they say it to me. The part that gets lost in translation though is the fact that I do really mean it. It's more of a Southern American thing though than it is an overall American thing. I've been to Chicago and NY and nobody asks you how you are doing but where I live it's not uncommon to have a ten-minute conversation on the street or at the grocery store or anywhere with a perfect stranger.

+Stuffedbird That's an interesting point you make. I get the impression watching these videos that Europeans are spoon fed lies upon lies by their media just as in the US. It must be because Americans have more instinctual independent thought, that many are able to see through the lies. People I know are embarrassed by the behavior of groups like Black Lives Matter just as people are embarrassed by the behavior of the KKK. The media would have you believe that those groups represent the majority of Americans views or at least that those views are very prevelent when in fact, those are what's called the vocal minority, a very small minority at that. The media heavily exaggerates the sphere of influence these racist groups have, because the media feeds on ratings for advertising dollars. There's simply not as much money in telling the truth. Also, there's more Black people on American tv than is proportional to they're actual percentage of the population.

moorek1967 It doesn’t seem genuine, when you ask a question and then the person actually replies, maybe in detail, then you seemed confused and bored. If you don’t actually care “how I’m doing” then don’t ask. Danish people (or European people) don’t ask questions that we don’t want honest answers too. Americans are always like “hiiii, how are you todayyy? :-D :-D” and when you answer they’re like: ?????? 😐😳🤨🙄😴 ... Anyway, it’s not polite if it’s not sincere

@@sophiejonatan2111 I see where you are coming from, but "How are you" is a very common greeting in America and the most common response is "Im good, you?". Its literally a conversation starter and a good way to catch up with old friends. Personally, "How are you?" is like an instinct when seeing someone I haven't seen in a while, and although it may not seem polite to you, it is very polite here in America.

There are a lot of genuine people who do say what they mean. Our schools forced us to behave that way, shameful imo, even honest people who care are conditioned to be " polite ", so people are not used to bluntness.

Denmark are, you probably do not know this, the country USA have the longest unbroken diplomatic relationship with. You know what I hate? I hate when a POOtin puppet of an American president gives my nation a colonial offer to sell some of my countrymen and on top are insulting to the extreme and calls it: "a real estate deal really"! The kingdom of Denmark have given USA a rent free spot on Greenland since USSR began to come close to have capability to send ICBM´s towards US via Greenlandic airspace. SO we have been instrumental in ensuring your ability to defend yourself. And this are the kind of "Thank you" we get? Danes are STILL waiting for an official apology for that AND for Trump afterwards cancelling the official state visit he invited himself to. An official state visit are the highest diplomatic visit in the diplomatic book and when it comes to the Kingdom of Denmark the official host are our Queen. SHE are the official host. The last person that cancelled such a visit in an insulting way we went to war with for it. POOtin are laughing at you and how he polarised your nation even more to the extreme. Now he managed to get you to kill each other and attack your own parliament. We are waiting for an apology and ANY serious ALLY would realise they should give one.
