Thats what I think, why fucking whine it makes people hate you ten times more for fuck sake.

I have a weird view on America and that is 50% of you lot are fine and cool to get along with, and the other 50% are a group of shitbag mother ******s who think them and only them exist on this planet.

Yes we are all proud of where we're from, but the 'I'm the best' 'we're so fucking great rah rah rah rah rah' gets on my fucking nerves and the majority of Europeans nerves too.

I think if I asked about 50% of Americans who was in World War 2 they'd probably say just the USA, Germany, and Japan. For the fact they can't stand any other country having joint glory of something, its the we're the only country in the world attitude that pisses us off so much.

I agree on what people say, Americans will never get Brit humour never.

Also question whats the deal with your hertige? I'm 1.566575984 % German 0.5686969696% Italian, 2.844764% French, 1.447589474% Mongolian is what I here Americans say often, I don't see loads of you being proud of your hertige, apart from certain holidays oh my great great great great great great great great great great Grandfathers dog was brought off some Irish builders, that makes me such and such. Do you think it intrests us?, it can be quite intresting cos your lots heads get fucked up 'oh oh what shall pick my hertige or some country my family moved to'. On St Pats day theres probably a couple of you with Irish parents or grandparents did I see Irish tricolours no I SAW FUCK ALL! just the usually tricolours of us Irish, shows being proud of European hertiges don't it.

#1 Americans work longer than anyone else in the world and have less vacation time. Im not talking about 5th world non existant countries with 15 hour a day child labor. im talking civilization.

#2 We have no public transportation becaue GM, Firestone, Chrysler, and some petroleum companies used front companies to buy up all the rails and busses in america. They then dismantled them. They had entire cities public transportation gone in sometimes ONE NIGHT. They did this so Americans HAD to rely on personal transport so the car, tire, and gas companies could reap the benefits.



1# Japanese work much harder and longer
2# Try a bike like we use in Holland

Nothing, in it's idealistic form, but in reality (due to human nature) it doesn't work.

Examples include human's natural emotions of jealousy, personal acheivement, growth, and the simple fact that no two people are the same.

How do Japanese work harder? When their work gets intensly hard, they just jump of a building... I don't see how that makes them work longer.

Oh wait a second, Americans do that too.. nevermind.

All right, time to throw in my .02

Americans are lazy... well some
Dutch people wear wooden shoes and grow tulips... well some (maybe not the wooden shoes)
Spanish-Americans cut your grass... well some
British people have bad teeth... well some

The original poll about Americans being lazy is just noticing a stereotype. You have to keep things in perspective: this is text on your computer. It won�t really effect your daily life in any terrible way.

On the idea of American society being a commuter society I agree. Where I live, the developed area between Milwaukee, WI and Chicago, IL, I have to drive a lot. I wanted to go pickup GTA3 today so I had to drive to the mall. It�s about 15 miles (24.1 Kilometers) away. When I go to work I have to drive 30 miles (48.3 Kilometers). I have to drive all over Lake and Cook County because everything is very spaced out.

I am an American. But do you know what my roots are? Mostly Check & German, Canadian, and French. I am a mutt and so are most Americans.

Sometimes when people in NYC ask me my heritage I tell them I am American and then they say, "But what are you really?" Like being American is not an option.

Miss P - I'd like to see their reaction when I tell them I am actually african, just like everyone else.

Ohhh damn...I don't look at the chill room for 3 days and next thing you know, there are 10 pages of essays about the bashings on the U.S. You guys write too much. I just read the first 3 pages and gave up. I just feel we all have our criticism between our different countries, but we are all people. We should respect the differences with other people. Saying americans are lazy is very stereotypical. I just hope if people outside of U.S. has their views on americans, then they should keep it to themselves because not ever american should be treated as a whole. Sometimes what you guys outside U.S. hear about americans is from the media which been really commercialized and obstructed by TV stations. We could write up long pages of bashing americans and this topic could go on for days...which makes it seem pretty pointless!!! I think everyone gets the idea now!
