When I was a freshman in high school, I was hanging out with my two best friends at one of their houses. We were bored and decided to watch YouTube videos on the family’s shared desktop computer, which was located in her Dad’s office. When we got into the office, the computer was… Read More

@ number 10, I don’t understand why not knowing Christmas songs is embarrassing? I feel like Americans have to be constantly reminded that not everyone is a Christian, which means they do not celebrate Christmas. And unless you’re an English speaking Christian that lives in America,… Read More

@emmanw the first automobile wasn’t invented in America, you’re right. It was invented in Germany, but it was Henry Ford that further developed the automobile and mass produced it.
