I used to live in New York....not the city, the state...central new york...syracuse..great place. Well if you're talking about the city it's because there are a lot of shops and you can try out for all sorts of movies and plays and become a model, try to persue a singing career, you name it, new york city has got it. Although it's expensive, almost everyone likes it better because a lot of us are attracted to expensive things because they are the best.

CANADA!  The United Nations seems to agree. So too do all the prospective immigrants who can't wait to get into the country.  They even come illegally.  Yes we're a wonderfully even-tempered people who like to mind our own business, let others live as they believe appropriate and just try to "get along".  What more could you want in a place to live?  Our family has been here since 1780 - province of New York previous to that since 1623 - so we can claim loyalty to this grand Dominion.  G-d save the Queen!

Why do you care so much about every body's opinions?  And stop stereotyping Americans. I'm not dumb thank you very much!

Think about it this way...\nWhy is it that more people try to get into America than any other country?  That should give you an indication on what the rest of the world REALLY thinks about life in America.\n\nConsidering how good it really is here I think we have a right to be proud of our country.\n\nBesides, I have never heard anyone rip other countires for being jingoistic or proud of THEIR country.  Why should we?\n\nGod Bless America.

Because thier ignorant, thats why thier arrogant, 80% of americans never leave thier own state, they think thats the whole world and it's the best, even you say "my country is great but not the best" why do you think your country is great? why are you so arogant?

If it's so awful here, why don't you go somewhere else? All civilizations have skeletons in the closet. Dwell on the good things America has done. Quit being a hater.

Good question! But do you really want to know?..\n\nI'm from Australia. Not Austria, AUSTRALIA. Aka 'the land down under'. You know, that place Elle McPherson came from.\nSorry ;)\nAmericans (from the US) don't seem to have a clue where our country is or even seem to care. It seems that Americans think they are the centre of the universe and they have the right to go tell other countries what to do. - Granted, this is probably a minority view (at least I hope so!) but it is what has stuck in the minds of many people here.\nOne thing that has inflenced my view is what an American woman said to my friend's wife while visiting the US:\na.w. - "So do you have computers back home?"\nfriend - "Com- what?" (making a sarcastic joke)\na.w. - "Oh, don't worry. I've noticed that as far away from America you travel, the more backwards the countries are." (didn't realise the joke & stuck her fat arrogant foot in her mouth)\n\nSo yeah, my opinion of Americans isn't too great. I'm not saying all are like that, but it only takes a few to ruin it for everyone.

I am American and I have never been to Nigeria. NIgeria has a beautiful culture and people. Their food is great, I just ate some recently. I know there are beaches in Nigeria and they have nice music that I would love to hear and dance to. I have Nigerian friends and they are real sweet. I believe the culture and people are beautiful. Why would anyone think differently?

There is some bias since I am from Chicago, but having been in New York as well, I'd still have to ADVISE CHICAGO!!! \n\nBy compare to New York, Chicago is a friendlier place with midwest charm - yet w/a keep it real attitude, (good for business and friendships alike) much cleaner and although expensive NOT nearly as high in cost of living as New York City. Down to earth place with EVERYTHING to do that embraces ALL kinds. You kinda walk outside and run into something. There's always something happening. Even if you opt for a pool hall amongst strangers, you will have a good time. Transportation - the "L" and bus system gets you everywhere pretty much 24 hours a day (not in some of the hoods after midnight, tho). Traffic is rough, but you CAN move. NYC is nearly impossible. Not to mention they drive like they have a death wish. Aggressive, fast and even creative driving is important skill. But to drive like you can go through people like Casper is asking for heart failure. The lakefront!! And attached grass knolls and parks. It is far and wide, appears clean and simply beautiful. The view of the horizon is endless. The large rocks and piers in neighborhood beaches gives you the feeling that you personally own the place. The public art - statues, giant picasso piece, heck the bridges over the Rivers. Chinatown's entryway... The parks, boulevards are cleaned up and richer than ever. Re-Progress has hit this town in the best way. Where was once gang and drug infestation, they have taken it back. (orig to clean up to attract the Olympics, now major Investment Oppys and a reversal of the suburb escape back to the city. The architecture of the homes, buildings are world reknowned. Not just downtown, but in neighborhoods, suburbs. Culture - arts, main library/many neighborhood libraries, every religion and house of worship available, Chicago symphony, booth play houses throughout as well as big Broadway stuff, zoos, museums (oh the museums, not stuffy simplistics - w/free days too?!), music venues in old neighborhood theatres...it's endless. Getting around is an easy figure. The streets are made like a checker board grid - YOU CAN'T GET LOST. There may be 10 or so streets on angle, yet consistent. Unlike the separation and confusion of the burroughs and bridges and tolls (OH MY!) of NYC - to a newcomer, it's a nightmare. In NYC, one side doesn't know the other if you dare ask direction. Chicago is also a smart city with amazing schools (both private and some public). University of Chicago* Northwestern* DePaul* Loyola. Open minds. Music!? Please. KNOWN for Jazz, blues (see it live in Chicago if you hadn't experienced the love of this music), house and now hip-hop (Kanye, Common and well, Twista) Rock and acoustic is brilliant. I saw a cover band that done the group "War" and you close your eyes and damn, it WAS "War". Bands can sustain a living here because the city is a proud place that supports one another on many artistic and business fronts. For instance, you can't get real carmel/cheese popcorn anywhere else but Chicago. Incredible, GREAT FOOD THATS AFFORDABLE. PIZZA?? Whew. We won't go there. The food standard is high. So it's hard to get bad food. It's proud for cooking good food, no matter the location, appearance or price of the joint. Diverse is a given. Not becuase all types of people/races both rich and poor just live there (that's many places these days), but all can live amongst each other fairly harmoniously (mainly on the North and Northwest sides) with exceptance and fair treatment. It's nothing new to Chicago. They don't have to get used to each other, It's an OLD city that opened their arms to immigrants in the 1800s just as New Yorks' Ellis Island did. It's a proud place to be a person of color. With the black political history in all it's glum and gorly - a lot has been taught, learned and respected regardles

Well, representing NYC, I have no problem with Delaware. See, Delaware is in a prime location. It hugs NJ and to be honest, NJ should be the center of the universe. You have beautiful Delaware beaches, very close to Atlantic City and you have your own version of Newark! Go Delaware!

Because we smell nice?  LOL!  Because I am proud of my country and of being an American.  How would it look if I treated our visitors like crap?  It's no sweat off my butt if you want to come to my country and live.  We are the melting pot.  We all came from somewhere else and guess what?  Some of our most incredibly beautiful people here are all the result of mixed races.  I am friendly because I feel that I was blessed to be born here and I don't mind sharing the wealth this beautiful country has to offer.

nope. i think a good 1/3 of us are ultra liberal. if you want openess, you have to ask people that live on the coasts. we're mostly liberal out here.\n\nyep, it's probably because you're so new york. i know if i was born and raised in somewhere like texas it would have taken me a lot longer to open my eyes to the rest of the world. good thing i'm so cali, i suppose
