I found people were in general quite polite and freindly when I visited Washington/Virginia. I also found in general Americans are quite outspoken and confident.

I was reading a gun magazine in a department store in Virginia and I was so surpirsed to see a tommygun for sale I called over to my friend.

An American man shopping with his young daughter overheard the exhange and came over to me and my friend and said to me: "Yeah those suckers cost about $1200, but I could get you one if you want...for...ehh....about $750".

I was doubly surprised. Here I was seeing a tommygun for sale in a magazine, and here was an American willing to sell me one.

Classic moment :)




We just kick ass.  That's all there is to it. ;)

I could probably get you far more than a tommygun. :D

dude you lot voted in Geroge Bush TWICE, i mean come on why would you vote him in TWICE,i think tha ts enough said.

oh and on a side note i quite like american girls. they have no fear and bundles of confidence compared to english girls. i like that, thats why i'm there in the summer!

I would like to say that the OVERALL AMERICAN population voted for Al Gore and Kerry (though Kerry is kins of a douche too he is preferable to Bush). The politicians voted for Bush. Unfortunatley our system is a bit old. I can understand why it was implemented in the 18th century. But now its just unfair.

 

I love my country (though my state sucks), and I wouldn't wanna live anywhere else, The fact is that many people all over the world stereotype America, and quite frankly dislike AMericans no matter what. I watched a special on outside opinions of Americans, and they are all quite negative, which is unfair and quite frankly untrue. I'll look for that article because it may be of some interest to the foreigners who have all cast negative opinions of Americans on this forum.


Bush won the popular vote in 2004.

And Bush was elected twice simply because our polticial parties have far too much power, so we're stuck voting for whoever they choose.  And they usually chooose total douch bags.  If Kerry had been even a somewhat decent candidate, he would have won over Bush.

I depends like all countries you have good people and bad people. But as i believe once you get to know anyone they are all good, you just need to look for it.

The thing I hate about Americans is that they call USA the land of the free, meanwhile blacks have to back to Africa (when they didnt even want to come here) and Mexicans have to go back to Latin America

What...? Nobody is pushing blacks back to Africa... where did you get that Idea? That is a ludicris statement.

Only one thing about the Mexicans going back to Latin America: Did they get into America illegally? If so you shouldn't be here. That goes for anyone.

Dude what are you talking about? Have you been hanging around some clan memebers.



"Back off, man. I'm a scientist."

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.

People think that americans are:

Fat

Loud

Ignorant

Stupid

 

 

Stereotypes are pretty interesting 



Beware, I live!
I am Sinistar!
Beware, coward!
I hunger!
Roaaaaaaaaaar!

A lot of Americans beleive that Mexicans are illegal when most of them arnt

I should have said " The one thing i hate most about SOME Americans"

sorry.

Also, sparda2020, you say torontonians arnt friendly compared to new yorkers.

that is very false. People from Toronto are very nice and helpful, meanwhile new yorkers just go on about their buisness. I know because ive been to NY a few times
