No I just think the ladies have sexy accents, but not as good as most other European accents.

Do people really think all Americans are fat and love war?

Yes, we still think your somewhat posh, although a lot of TV has a way of getting rid of that. I'd say it has to do with the more regal accents that Brits have.

For any British or French person: Do you still hate the other country? If so, stay awesome.

I have been wondering about something for a bit now, maybe it can be explained, because it is most definitely culture.

I have lived in the US for about 13 years now, and at first I thought the stereotypical, golf culture, etc. type of Americans were just pure idiots. Then I realized they aren't any more idiotic than elsewhere. So I decided they were just uneducated. But that is also false, they go through high school, some through college, and while the education system is utter crap, the middle and upper classes are very much educated.

Most recently I came to the answer I wanted to, and realized that they are just ignorant. Not stupid, or uneducated, but ignorant. Furthermore, they WANT to be ignorant of what happens in the world. The US is the only country where "ignorance is bliss" has been used for anything other than an insult that I have heard. Why is that?  Culturally, what drives the middle and upper class, golf culture, of the US to embrace ignorance?

Almost all reasons that lead to the hatred of America abroad seem to originate from this, so I am just wondering where it comes from.

Edit: I am not generalizing to all Aemricans, just a huge chunk. There are plenty of worldly americans out there and I have as much fun socializing with them as anyone from Europe. People here should know who I am talking about. I'm talking about the type that went to or send their kids to finishing schools and private schools. The type that hovers over their children and tries to make play sets safer by removing everything, because god forbid their child falls down and scrapes a knee. Whether you like it or not, those types of people are basically the majority, then again maybe CA, CT, and the south haven't given me a big enough sample size to base this opinion on, but in those 3 areas by far the majority fall in the label of ignorant.

This thread is a great ideea. I'll think of a question and answer later. Anyone who wants to know anything about Romanian culture can ask.
