Oh FFS, are you kidding me? This is the kind of rubbish I'm talking about.

Just because our foreign policy has pissed the lot of you off since 1945 doesn't mean that these kinds of general and broad statements about our populous are reasonable.

Sure, we spoke about politics and differences between cultures, but everywhere else people judged me for who I was. The French? The second the majority of them had me pegged as American it was immediate rudeness. It was ridiculous - And consistent, it wasn't an isolated experience.


But there's an important lesson to be drawn from this. Lots of Americans are completely disconnected from what their government is doing, and now you got real proof (a wakeup call) that the actions of your government have a direct effect on how regular Americans are perceived.

In other words, what's happening in the world is not some video game that is brought to you by sanitized and scripted American networks like CNN, it's actually fucking real. Quite an insight, isn't it?

Oh really now, fuck off. If I was as ignorant as you try to portray me I'd kill myself.

Considering our GDP is the highest in the world, and almost equivalent to that of the entire European union, not to mention 11 times higher than Canada's and 3 times that of Japan, which has the 2nd highest GDP, we're doing pretty well for a country filled with people that are mostly, "stupid as fuck" - which is a brilliant way to express your feelings about another's intelligence, you must be a Shakespeare buff.

Dude GDP has nothing to do with intelligence. America is doing well at the moment because it has lots of natural resources, a market economy, and a strong military.

But 92% of Americans are religious, lots of them reject science and believe in Intelligent Design, the vast majority has no grasp of the outside world or geography, I could go on and on...

You are an idiot spouting the same baseless propaganda that runs rampant throughout the rest of the world. You know America is also the most religiously diverse nation in the world? And what about the HUGE population of Catholics who all firmly accept evolution?

We aren't all these backwater, evangelical, bible thumping, fuck your cousin, polygamist assholes you seem to think we are. The polls you cite referring to our grasp of geography are significantly flawed in the manner in which they're conducted.

Like I said, educate yourself, and get a fucking clue before you go on spouting the kind of absolute garbage that spews forth from your keyboard.

While a country doesn't necessarily have to have intelligent people to have a high GDP, my point was that for a bunch of stupid fucks we're doing pretty well.

To say that by being religious, one cannot be intelligent, you're placing yourself above a lot of people that are generally considered to be pretty damn smart.

While most of what has been said is generalisation and is questionable, America's external policies have made it the most hated nation in the world. So don't expect sympathy or friendship from other countries as you have had the ability to change this for many years but haven't.

The French have always been rude, and trust me, they're much worse with Brits than they are with Americans. But I have to agree with them on one thing, Americans are by far the rudest and most obnoxious tourists in the world, hands down.

I think it's pretty safe to say that the more volume the airport has the greater the chances of running into employees with attitude...

It's the nature of the beast.

I don't mind the French, they think their it sometimes and can be a bit offish which makes me laugh but their ok.

I'm half English and half Irish, most Europeans hate Brits with passion, due to the fact we have a reptuation for getting in fights and getting drunk which if your in most Spanish or Greek resorts it's quite evident, unfortunatly they think the same about all British people.

Two youths tried to mug a friend of mine with a knife in Spain so he knocked the lad with a knife out and proceeded to chase the other one who had ran off, the police got involved my mate explained his story but got arrested for assault and went in no protest about it, however the police decided to give him a good beating anyway with nightsticks.

Well they aren't friendly when entering the county. But after you pass customs my experience is that most US citizens are very friendly and nice.I really had a great time visiting the USA, did some roadtripping and it was really a blast. When you tell them that you are from Amsterdam/Holland they all want to know about the red light district and the coffeeshops. They also think that we dutchies are constantly stoned and go to the hookers 3 times a week.

I think in every country their are friendly people and not so friendly people.


Posted by Omega_M on Nov-21-2006 16:57:

Bah..people are just being jealous. Rudeness comes with the arrogance of being a super power. you mess with me and you get fucked. End of story.

If you want to enter into USA, get ready to be subjected to humiliating checks. Yes, we think you are all terrorists unless and until proven otherwise.

re: original post

wait, so you're telling me that you want to get into this country AND be treated with politeness and respect?? It's one or the other budy, one or the other LOL

America.... fuck yeah!

Seriously, America rules. I'd rather be rude than a bunch of pussy footers. We get shit done here. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

It's shit like this that gets "normal" Americans like RJT in trouble overseas

I cross Us customs by land pretty often and for the first while they were real pricks.After a few months they started recognizing me and even know me by name lol...no more problems.I can get were they are coming sometimes as i've seen Chinese citizens and what not attempt to cross sans passport.If I saw this shit as much as they do i would find it hard to be friendly too.Honestly the Canadian Customs officials are more rigorous and bigger pricks.I always get hasseled more coming back in.
Apparently the mexican/us border people are the worst.They call mexicans thonks because that is the sound you get when you whack them with a mag lite.That doesn't look good for you guys.

The rednecks are pretty bad but most of the city folk are friendly as long as it isn't NYC

yeah i mean i've heard of french people disliking amercan tourists... and just so i don't get shit from other people i'm not saying ALL FRENCH PEOPLE. i don't know if there's just discrepancy where the french don't think some americans try to speak french when they get to france or engage in the culture, i'm not sure why.
