A friend of mine was on holiday in germany - in a coffee shop - and some american tourist comes in shouting something like "Where is such-and-such cathedral - I bombed it to bits in the war and want to go and see it", he failed to realise that after 50 odd years they might have built something in its place. In short, american tourists are rude and unfriendly - in america people are friendly - but only because they want the 15% tip, which if you dont pay they get very nasty about!

how the fuck can you exactly use one moronic american tourist generalize ALL american tourists as being disrespectful and unfriendly? thats fucking proposterous...i'm an american and i've been to many countries Japan Canada Mexico and i don't go around acting like an ignorant person having no respect for other people's cultures...what about the few english soccer fans acting like dicks in japan during the world cup last summer just because they're not used to japanese food? SOME people who go to other countries and experience new cultures are naturally going to ignorant about it simply because they've never experienced anything liek it before and i'm sure its not just americans who actlike this...get a clue

it's really unfair and ignorant for people to judge an entire country's population based on the president's decisions or the actions of one U.S. citizen in a coffee shop. like someone said before, every country has its faults. blaming the U.S. for every wrong thing in our world is just nonsense. please think before you make such brash, inaccurate judgments.

ok
over 11,000 people are murdered with guns each year in america
whereas the combined total for the UK, Germany, Australia and Canada is below 300....
Canada has a similar guns to home ratio as America, yet under 80 people are murdered by guns each year.
The government spends $300 billion (around about anyway) on 'defense', even though you already have the largest arsenal of weapons on the planet, and figures estimate it would only cost $10 billion to fix every school in the country to the required standard.

so theres 2 things, you don't educate the country properly, and you give the fucking retards semi automatic weapons to play with.

i have only one thing to add


PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THERE'S NO SUCH RACE AS 'AMERICANS'
AMERICANS ARE THE SAME BRITS, SWEDES, FINNS, GERMANS, RUSSIANS, ASIANS, ETC. AS THE REST OF YOU

spoiled maybe, but please remember that all the countries in the world are the originators of the US

i don't think of myself as of an american, because i lived in the Ukraine for 13 years, but FFS, how can you be so fucking arrogant towards others and stereotype like that?

and as for the 'every country has it's faults' comments, nothing is closer to the truth than that. don't even start me on the politics in ukraine / russia, because that's a whole another fucking case of rotten worms

dont spend your time judging a country because of what the media has told you.

Yes there are many things I am not pleased with living here but life is life and no country is perfect.

One extremely important detail that people fail to realize is that what you hear or know about countries in general tends to be negative ...... seriously .... give me examples of places where you hear of how all the people are super nice the laws are great for everyone and there's absolutely no crime rate ...

that simply does not exist and they only things the media can offer you is negativity..........

don't be a tool stop bashing the usa you're only making yourself made against them for now ... but cause you're such a tool you'll be bashing the next coming country that'll have more power then the usa simply because they are bigger richer and more powerful hence you'll look out for all their flaws.....

Do not judge a nation by the small group of people you have encountered or the small amounts of story you heard

what do u expect us to do? protest him becoming the president even though he shouldn't be? what are we as citizens to the people who actually control the law itself
