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!
