lol BBC

very funny post

easily either the English or Americans, frankly both need taking down several pegs and whacking on the head hard till their ego's learn to stfu.

France, as well as the French culture in general including French Canadians. Most arrogant people out there, they make Americans look humble by comparison.

USA, and the reason is in the poll.

America is the body of land constituing North and South America. Residents of USA not only call themselves "Americans" but they often forget that the United States of America, is not the only country in America.

Also, when I go to the USA, people there just forget about Europe and Canada and think their country is the best, despite it having the highest poverty rate in all the developed countries of the world. Americans forget there is a world outside their border, and especially in the South, people think very highly of themselves, when often they are gross.


P.S. I don't think it's just Americans who are arrogent. South Americans are, yes (outside of major cities in Florida and Texas), but what I really hate the most are Rich and/or fat people who think way too highly of themselves. I especially hate rich fat people who were born rich and talk down to others as if they deserve the money. I don't hate rich or fat people, just the arrogent ones.

I think Americans don't actually realize that they have rude or arrogant manners, rude ways of talking to others, eating sloppily and excessively. Stuff like that, and throwing trash on the ground is normal in American culture and not meant by them to disgust or insult the others forced to watch, and not meant to be insulting or arrogant. There are a lot of Americans who believe that the US is the best country in the world, with all its poverty, corruption, and social inequality. A lot of this is due to the fact that they have not traveled to other countries, and they live under a regime of heavy nationalistic propaganda; and their arrogance stems from that. It is similar to how many European countries used to be in the age of empires.

Why is Brazil not on here?

I worked at a theme park for years... if you think throwing trash on the ground and being rude to people is just an American habit, then you are very, very, wrong.  Atleast most of the American guests didn't pitch a fit if I asked them to stop smoking in a non-designated area.

Because in reality, it's Canada and Europe that are undoubtedly the best, right?

Well I have a lot of family in the USA, and I personally like it a lot better here. On another thread I'm having this debate about banning handguns. For us, it's no big deal, only 3% of people have a hundgun and they really are useless, but in the Southern states, the people I am debating with think I'm crazy because they need guns for "protection." It's just safer here, racism isn't as prevelent, houses don't all have Canadian flags, free health care, a federal criminal code, effective police forces which actually control drug trade, and lower unemployment.

However Canada isn't perfect. Canada is kinda a hybrid economy between USA and Europe. A lot of laws we have are reflective of British laws, but because were so close to the USA we also get a lot of influence from them.

I'm not sure about Europeaners being the best, but from what I hear about Germany, Italy and France makes it sure sound amazing to live there. Europe would be nice to live because it's free trade between countries, and there are no borders like there are between Canada and USA. So if you want to go to France or Itally for a change of environment for a few days, nothing is stopping you.

Plus Obesity rates in Europe and Canada are a third of USA's. That's always nice.


Still off topic, does this make me, a Canadian sound errogant? I know there is a world outside of Canada, and every country has it's plus and minus's. Like I said I think Americans are the most arrogant, and like someone above said it's because many things people outside the USA view as rude, disguisting, or just plain disrespectful, Americans find normal. Want to go to a gay kids funeral and spew hate propaganda, that's okay in the USA because you have that "freedom", but ridiculous everywhere else.

I don't know who would come second, Asian people from Japan/South Korea/China are very arrogent as well, but they have more reason to be. However, dating a Korean girl, and knowing several Chinese people, they don't think their country is the best, just better then the other asian countries lol.

A bit extreme, but the southern states are like that. It really depends where you go because cities like Miami and Los Angeles are pretty clean and obesity rates mimic those in Europe and Canada much more, but then you have places like Detroit and Atlanta which are just gross.
