USA

Recommended Posts

Everywhere you go, you find stereotypes. I'm an American, and I can tell you that not all Americans are rude. Some are rude, but a lot actually aren't. As for that stereotype that we are all fat...well, I see that many Americans are getting fatter and fatter...but that's not all of us.  :( Some are fat; some are thin. Some are kind; some are mean. Some are shy; some are arrogent. You have these types of people everywhere.

lol.. nice.. It all depends on how people think. For some people who are outside of the UsA, they may think that this is the land of opportunity(yea in a way it is) Others may think that UsA is to dominant. Like puppy said all american's are not the same. Yes America has the cheeseburger, the wopper and the fords. Also has some nice vacation spots and casinos. Like in the big city if you took a wrong turn you might end up in china town or a italian neighborhood. UsA Is the boiling pot made up of lots of races and religions.

New York can always be interesting. I speak as a long-term resident of this state. Atmosphere? Well..it varies. The popular destination is New York City and it's Manhattan counterpart.

 

It is expensive here! Transportation can be EXPENSIVE. Walking can be EXPENSIVE (often dragged in by street merchants? Goodluck!). Lol. I remember walking through Times Square with no intention to buy anything, then suddenly buying 4 tickets to the Improv. Walking across streets can also be hazardous to your health...not to mention that it can be a lengthy process. :)

 

These are only some of the factors though. Remember that..but don't be pessimistic. Life is an adventure.

I agree that stereotypes are everywhere. I live in West Virginia and we are definately stereotyped as "hillbillies". When in reality we aren't. Most are well educated and well spoken. I am proud to live in the US but really would love to visit Australia and Europe. I really think that most people would want to visit another country or state. Just to say they have been there.

My personal view of the american people is good. I meen i'v not meet anyone in person to tell how they are. Here is thoth that the USA is the land of all oportunityes. Let me tell you another thing here in Romania were i live with enoght money you can make what ever did you whant. Literaly. Personaly they are to confident and to cocky about all other contrys. They think about their sell like the centre of the world. Now with all the world changes due to terorism thier thinking was changed dramaticaly, they realized that tehy need friends and alies to succed, and to make their point. Well i hope that they succed becoause if USA didn't exist now in Europe we all spoke german or rusian <_< no ofence. We all have something that relates to USA. Hope to go there some day to make an impersion about thier real life. Sorry about my english :)

I am Greek and I can tell you that people in Greece are very anti-American and they get more anti-American all the time. Bush getting reelected for president didn't really help for that matter... Personally, I see two Americas, the Red States of America and the Blue States of America. The Blue States of America I'm OK with, it's the Red States of America I don't like...

I find that morally disturbing. Thousands of innocent lives were snatched away for no reason at all, and you think it's a good thing? If 9,172,500 Chinese people (on an approximate ratio) were killed in an act of terrorism, does that mean you would find it perfectly acceptable for an American to laugh and see the whole event as amusing?

first of all USA and USA government are 2 different thing. I and 90 % world do not agree with W's wars.

 

but american people are like any other people in the world.

 

Some people may like USA because of movies and TV and they may think all americans live lik that. most of the people like usa as a country because it is rich and diverse with multicultural people.

 

even biggest bush haters like to come to USA.

I am not from Europe but Canada does give off many stereotypes towards the U.S and the same goes for the U.S to Canada. I have been to the states many times and I have met a lot of people. My first impression wasn't a negative one at all. I thought that every place we went everyone was really nice. I have never met a rude American (in person) yet. I have met some over weight ones but I don't think that they're all over weight. None of my experience in meeting people from or in the U.S live up to the stereotypes I have heard.
