Not all of us Americans do.\nHowever, Yahoo is an American company and this is an English-speaking site. I think it's only natural for a lot of people to assume, because of that, that this is being viewed only in America.\nLikewise, if Yahoo were a German or Russian company, we would assume that we were logging in to a site in Germany or Russia. Not America.

90% of Americans are Christians,so I would say 3% are probably atheist.However,33% of the world are Christians.That's not even half of the world.You Christians mean to tell me that 67% of the world are going to hell for being raised with the "wrong" religion or not believing in a belief system that has no proof whatsoever?It is insane to believe that.

I do believe it. For one, the universe is absolutely massive and there are billions upon billions of solar systems that we have not discovered. Are we so conceited to believe that WE are the only intelligent species in a universe where there are billions of planets? The probabilities are extremely high that there are a number of other intelligent species. We just haven't found a means to detect them or communicate with them yet.

I have learned that it is not the American people that the rest of the world doens't like, it's the politics and policies of the government.  Sometimes it comes across as anti-american.  I do wish that the ones who are saying these things would get to know some Americans as you have.  There are good and bad from everywhere.

Good question - when will Americans realize that they do need other people?  When will Americans realize that the world doesn't stop at their border?  When will Americans realize that they need to be accountable for their place in the world?  When will Americans stop being such stupid, ignorant people?  When will Americans realize that no super-power lasts forever, and they fun in the sun will end?\n\nThe answer my friend is blowing in the wind...

Even Americans are mortified to see themselves and their neighbors be so huge. Check out WalMart sometime. Criminy. \n\nI think that people tend to do what they have seen done before them. Look at the impossibility of the 4 minute mile. Once the barrier was broken, there were many more that came right after. \n\nWhen one sees truly huge people, it is easy to think of ones self as "not too fat." I'm not as big as "that" person, so I am not so bad. \n\nAmericans don't all do things as a group. We live in an enormous country. We tend to do things that our families and neighbors do. There is very little true necessary activity in this nation anymore. Farming is done with machines, clothes are washed in machines, dishes are washed similarly, no ironing is truly necessary, food is microwavable and served up instantly in fast food restaurants. \n\nOur lifestyle, in general, seems to be one of needing more hours in the day. Most people are working couples, kids get second place to the parents' jobs. There isn't much time for family life, and for personal recreation, much let alone kayaking, cycling, mountain hiking, and volksmarching. \n\nThe hectic lives many Americans lead does not lend itself to healthful living. \n\nAnother thing to consider is that most Americans are not rich. Most Americans work very hard to try to "keep up with the Joneses." There are images of monied perfection that we try to attain, and it takes 2 jobs and not much time for anything else. The people who you see as jetsetters, ski bunnies, and driving great cars and living in fantastic homes are the top of the economic pile. Most of us are not as well heeled, and can't afford the gym, or even find time for a nice walk. \n\nYou talk about how the rest of the world views Americans. Sorry that the fat slobs here are ruining our world image. Sometimes it might be impossible, but a nice dream, to think that others might check in their own backyards before judging the rest of the world. \n\nI know that Americans are not the favorites of the world. But again, the great majority of us are decent, caring, well-balanced individuals, with open minds and hearts. Even the very fattest of us all might surprise the rest of the svelte world population with intelligence, dignity, inner grace, and kindness. \n\nSorry America doesn't present the best picture for you or the "rest of the world." Sorry about the starving folks in other countries. Truly I am. But to be angry with us because of a weight issue is to be small-minded and ignorant of the real factors facing transglobal relations. \n\nWe're fat because we have access to unhealthy foods, live an unhealthy lifestyle, and are caught in a rut of modern living. Habits are hard to break, and no one is eating extra calories to cause international hardship. Perhaps the next time I consider putting that second serving of Cheerios into my cereal bowl, I'll remember how it'll look to the rest of the world, and be ashamed.

No, there are tons of them.\nLiterally.

According to surveys, a staggering 45% of all Americans (that's a 135 million people) believe that the Universe is less than 10,000 years old as stated in the Bible.

The laws of probability makes it a yes to your question.  We are not alone.  In fact earth is just a speck in our own galaxy.  Our galaxy is just one of many galaxies.  Yes it would be amazing to find other beings....provided they were friendly...LOL

Some people are so self-absorbed that they can't see the world around them.  I think one day they will realize that there are more people on earth than just them.

It occurs to me that there are DAMN few people in America that are not decended from immigrants. If we had a bunch of illegal white people living and working in the USA, no one would be upset about it.

Americans are kind of shallow.

I'm American and I don't think they do. I think some of us think that we are inferior though.

What I know is that the USA are thought to be the center of the world.It seems to me that only Americans have the right to live.

Isn't that funny, i was asking myself the same thing. I assume that most have never travelled abroad and experienced the world beyond their own back yard. Call it ignorance. But I do agree that there are people out there who don't know that there is a whole world of opinions and ideals that are waiting to be explored. By the way, explore some of the questions in politics and you will discover that there are a considerable amount of people who are questioning their present government in the US.
