One thing that I haven't seen mentioned about Americans: frivilous lawsuits.
When I hear about food companies being sued for making people fat, I cringe. It's like America replaced patriotic freedom fighters with whiney-ass little bitches.
The fact that the judicial system is getting made a laughing stock out of because of some of these lawsuits is absurd. There needs to be a "common sense" law passed.

Word.
Maybe I should slam my head against the wall and sue the construction company for placing the wall in this manner.

The result from the danish jury:
1) Too many people who think they are experts on everything they have seen even a glimpse of on TV.
2) Too many people are conservative. Meaning that they shy away from anything new or unknown.
3) No really big cities.
4) A small population in conjunction with point 2 means that you have to go abroad for nurturing your special interests (i.e. buying techno records is impossible in Denmark).
5) Way too many fake socialists (social democrats) who preach tolerance and show absolutely none themselves.

okay, that means about 150% of Londons population are sylium seekers!
1. Immigrants comming here and doing their best to change the country and our laws. Ruining any chance we have of developing a culture.
2. The mentality of participating vs. winning in sport.
3. Toronto Maple Leafs. Actually we could really do without the city of toronto itself.
4. Celine Dion, Avril Lavine, Alanis Morisette!!! What the hell is wrong with this country!!!
Good things:
1. Good beer, strip clubs, Hockey
2. French Girls and Shania Twain
3. We're nice
4. We're big
edit. 5. poutine

BTW great article occrider. After reading that, I'm even more scared of Mormons now.
Sorry if I offended any Mormonites out there - but hey, after a story like that - you're asking for it.

the worst thing about the U.S.? hideous subdivisions where all the houses look the same and no one knows their neighbor. people move out to the new developments looking for a fresh start - away from the "dangerous" city life but in reality they just bring their problems along because they are too lazy to actually DO anything about it.

An incompetent, xenophobic reactionary right-wing government with a leader who actually thinks that he's great mates with George Bush, absurd policies with regards to asylum seekers, a spineless opposition party -- and a disturbing increase in the amount of Jesus freaks about.
