If you saw how long I spend on some of my answers you might think I must come from a different country according to your statement. (Or maybe you'd just think I was a bit slow witted? Ha ha!) But guess what, I'm a US citizen.\n\nOne of my humbling moments as a US citizen came when I was living in Japan. I was at a business meeting with Japanese, Australians, English, and a couple of US citizens. One of the Australians started doing an impression of US citizens. She started talking loudly, smiling broadly (showing a lot of teeth), and gesturing. I thought it was funny. The citizens from other countries thought it was even funnier. I might imagine the whole world enjoying such a joke on US citizens, but that would be another stereotype--on the other citizens of the world.\n\nI think people will see what they want to see--especially if they are looking for it. For instance, "Is it true that Americans answer immediately, without giving it much to think about?" \n\nIt's easier for people to think in stereotypes. People think like that to make sense of their world. I'm not saying it's a terrible thing. However, they may be missing interaction with people they might actually enjoy spending time with. Such separation doesn't bring the world closer to peace. It's also rather lonely and boring don't you think?

This a topic about English language, or literally, the English culture? If its the latter, I can almost certainly help you out: I'm from England! I am English! If it's the former, I may not be much use: we spell some words quite differently to you Americans, and we have weird expressions for things!

very well said man!\ni trust you are an American and im glad that you see that western Europe is ahead of you guys for once\nhere in England we didnt realy have much of a problem when they put the gay marriage thing to vote and we seem to be more accepted every day, but from what i can see of some American attitudes it must be terrible at times.\nI wish all the world would just be free to do as they please and people just smile and walk on by

Hey, I love British people.  You are our mother country.  I think the accent is sweet!  And London has some pretty awesome sights.  Of course we like the British from a military perspective, but that's only a very small thing in a whole ocean of reasons.  By the way, my uncle is British, and he's one of the most awesome people I have ever known; he's always giving me hugs!

I was born in the US, as were my parents, and there parents.\n\nIn fact, I'm the fourth generation born in California (if you follow the right branches of the family tree).\n\nMy mother's mother's father came here from Europe -- not sure whether her mother was born here or was first generation (French).\n\nMy father's father's mother and father came here (he was Swiss, she was Irish).\n\nMy father's mother's mother was born in California. I believe both of her parents were born in the US.\n\nBTW, if this question gets removed for "chatting" (which I hope it doesn't), it might scrape through in the Polls & Surveys category.

expectations.  Too many people have really high expectations that "moving to America will make everything better".  Well,  there's competition for jobs,  there's lonliness in no longer feeling  "comfotable"  that everyone around you is the same.  Like if you are from Greece,  you feel comfortable among the Greeks in Greece.  But if you find yourself in Bangor Maine,  it takes a long time to feel really comfortable...because people "like you"...aren't all around.  I'm from CT

I feel everyone is frustrated and concerned over issues that involve the Middle Eastern dilemma.  But I also feel that these issues should be dealt with, urgently.  The anger some express, is warranted, and is due to the fear of the anger that is not expressed, but is lying in wait to be expressed, by some, and is more prevalent in your backyard, than ours.  But it is also my opinion that this post, was meant to convey fear.  Both Americans and British have both, historically, always enjoyed comedy, and it is part of our (when allowed)  peaceful, good-natured cultures.  But also, historically, when we get continually stepped upon, we both tend to get tired and STOMP VERY HARD BACK, so as to continue with our way of culture.  I guess what I am trying to say is, that in life, and in this post, that Americans and British are more OPEN as to WHO we really are, and what are intentions are.  I hope this helps you understand the differences between anger, fear and tiredness.  And, since I know us Brits and Yanks are considered pretty lacking in awareness, could you please have a sense of humor, and post for me if you are aware of what I am trying to say?-please do, I'm interested.\n\nKirsty S.  You are a sweetheart,so please don't worry.  When you put your head on your pillow tonight, think "Everything will be okay" and KNOW this!!!
