We don't have very big phones. You probably saw old movies that were made when phones were larger.

Cops and cab drivers usually do drive Crown Victorias. There are tons of fat people here, but they mostly live in undesirable areas like the Midwest and the South.

There are about 20-25% of the population who smoke, but they are mostly lowlifes. Most educated people do not smoke.

Teenagers certainly do drink beer and many cops eat donuts, but that's a long-held stereotype.

You should come visit. You'll learn a lot.

Yeah, 100% of what you said is true and we also absolutely adore the French.

If you learned ...even 'most' of your english from watching american movies you've done well!

Maybe our phones are bigger for the most part. Cops ONLY eat donuts in the movies ... Well, maybe not ONLY in movies.
Unfortunately teenagers too often DO drink beer and that may be one of the reasons ...

We have more than our share of fat people.

That our cops drive Crown Vics is news to me. And, finally, on the level...did you really learn english as you say?...Just reading the troubled grammar and spelling on here makes your use of the language look superb.

Our phones are getting smaller but as the US is the the largest consumer of telecomunications products, things are tested in other countries before they are put on the market here.

The cop-donut thing comes from the idyllic TV of the '50s, because life was perfect then (at least on TV) there was no crime so there wasn't anything for cops to do but hang out at the donut shop. The stereotype stuck.

Teenagers drink plenty, it is just not legal so they don't often do it in public.

There are lots of fat people, lots. Obesity is a huge problem. But movies are a consumer based business and who wants to look at fat people.

We smoke a lot less than we used to, and much less than Europeans. But it's still pretty common, usually we smoke in bars.

The Crown Vic has a perfect power to weight ratio for police purposes. It is fast enough to stay with sports cars, and heavy enough to "pit" larger vehicles. We have big roads here, so it's not important to be nimble. Taxi companies buy a lot of cars, but used Crown Vics that the police can't use anymore are pretty cheap so they often make an agreement with Police departments in larger cities. Many of our taxis used to be police cruisers.

You've got it backwards. Your english is quite good, though.
