Yanks are just seen as nice, friendly hard working people. We consider your government pure evil and have since about the 1970's. But we make the distintion that it's not the people as we fully understand the USA is not a democracy at all. |

Yes, and your grammar, spelling and punctuation are perfect and "so-totally" better than everyone else. I like one Sterotype that all Americans are Fat, Lazy, Stupid, Cheap, Evil and completely nuts. I find it funny that we can't drive, couldn't fight our way out of a plastic bag, and that our women are (gasp) too skinny or too fat. That we don't know the difference, or ways to use "Their, They're and There" or any other words that are similar in spelling, sound or even color (yes... don't ask). I love the one about the world being better off without us because we pollute so much, and how Global Warming is all our fault. How our CAPITALISM caused the world's economic depression. And how our use of "Ya'll" is funny as hell. Also, some people long making fun of our speech and how we may pronounce some of our words. In other words, they haven't heard of SLANG. And last, but nowhere near least, I've been awake for over 24 hours, and I can still somehow type in a low-light environment and still seem somewhat intelligent (if not a little like a jerk).

Yes, we are a constitutional REPUBLIC (which most of the world, including our Federal Government, forgets) and our government is probably the least helpful of ANY life on Earth. They almost try their hardest to ruin everyones' lives in every way possible. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 857637 ![]() 01/09/2010 06:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A lost cause probably best suits the description. Completely ignorant, arrogant, stupid beyond belief, a suffering from an extreme case of priviliged race syndrome. A lot of Americans I have met that have travelled overseas are really good people and nothing of the stereotypes, and Im sure that a suffcient chunk of the population is the same. But then again, my friends who have been to the states absolutely hated the place, said the people were from a dark planet he never wanted to visit again. I think in general the yanks simply need to understand that they are suffering from generations of brainwashing, that they were not even close to the first democracy or free country, and are probably among the worst examples of both today. Other countries dont look up to them, but rather down, other countries and people dont want to be anything like their banking dictatorship or disillusioned people. The worst thing a yank can do is try to tell others how to live or how great their country is, because they are the source of untold misery for the majority of the human race. Its nothing personal though, every nation has their stereotypes both good and bad. But considering virtually every problem in this world of the last 20 years has come from the states, its extremely embarassing to talk or be seen with someone of the above forementioned type, when the US is viewed globally as an evil empire, even by their so called allies. Quite similar to north koreans. |

Ohwell User ID: 860648 ![]() 01/09/2010 07:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The stereotypical American is fat, gullible, driven by consumerism and believes they are entitled to everything and everyone should think the same way they do. What I've noticed about Americans is they don't really know a lot about other countries or cultures. Honestly, I dislike American cultural imperialism. You've exported your culture to other nations across the world. In the process you've enforced your culture on people. The influence is very noticeable here in Australia. I think it has something to do with your heritage of Manifest Destiny and American exceptionalism. I read somewhere that America's biggest exports are entertainment and military weapons. That just about sums up the problem. |
