False.\nAll "Americans" are foreigners.

Interesting, I've heard this said of all Germanic/English peoples, not just Americans. \n\n--- When did you stop beating your wife? ---\n\nThat's the type of question that you asked. You assumed one premise when asking. This premise is not defendable unless you, the asker defends it. You also use a pretty universal grouping. You assume all Americans are alike.\n\nI am an American, and I have a wicked, sometimes wet and gushy, sometimes dry and sarcastic sense of humor. Therefore, your premise is not valid.

Nope. Americans have it good, and they can have it better by working.

Notice you're only getting answers from people who are from the US...?  All but one who stated what another country's opinion is.  Please disregard the rest.  Now, I was stationed in Germany for about 3 years and I can say that the majority of people that I encountered had a pretty good opinion of American's.  I never really got too much of their opinion of America as a whole.  If it is of any consideration, after the war in Iraq started the Germans actually volunteered some of their troops to guard our posts over there.  Just a little enlightenment and something that the people who say "The whole world hates America after the Iraq War" might want to think about.  The biggest thing that I can mention is when we went to Holland for some training:  The Dutch still look at America as liberators.  So, that's just my opinion as some one who has actually been to other countries, not one who just criticizes my own while I'm safe in it.

I find that there are good things about every culture and horrible things about them as well. People who can't find anything good in any other cultures are xenophobic dopes who need to do some traveling.

Not everyone. I think our American society has given them a "bad name" but so far, I've not run into one that I have any reason to dislike. It's stupid, if you ask me.

Yeah I think so! Not all Americans think that he's all bad...I mean the guy is practically a legand in his own right and we all have to admit that he is damn good!!! ;-)

It's not bad. In fact, I think we all should learn at least the basics of another language. Whoever said that statement is kind of, well, an idiot.

No, not at all. In every nation some people may be bad, but majority is sensible.

100% American..you are 100% CORRECT!\nThanks for pointing out the obvious truth.\n Well said Sir!!!!!!!!!!\n\nNEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!

Who? Us? Well I never... Maybe because we think we are better. I don't because I think all people from all countries are cool. I was in the US Navy for ten years and met plenty of people from around the world. They all seem to have the same basic wants and needs and most are good people. I hope that you find more good Americans than bad because most of us are very good people. Sorry for the few bad ones you have run into. I am from Fort Worth, Texas and I promise that most Americans are not like that.\n\nSincerely,\nTerry S

Like other nationalities, some are good some are bad! Depends. I like Americans because they are friendly, open, direct, go getter but they can be too full of themselves, too patriotic and often feel they are the best.

i'm an american, but i think i can answer that: arrogance. americans treat everyone as foreigners, even when visiting a foreign country. i was in europe three years in the air force, and i was ashamed at the way most gi's behaved over there.

I don't think this is a strictly american syndrome, and i hold no hatred twoards foreigners. We have social programs specifically help minorities/ ie affirmative action NAACP etc. And we are teh only superpower so I think that the superiority complex is innate. As far as discrimination and predjudice, I was in france and had a discussion with some french dude about why they all hate blacks, who moved to france from french colonies in africa. Also, look at Iraq, Sudan, and who can forget slobodan milosevic, in serbia...where not only do they hate ethnic groups but they assasinate them. So I guess in conclusion it is not a American issue but a human issue and I am farily certain it occurs in all racially diverse countries. Maybe the majority/ruling party likes using minorities as scape goats. Anyways dont hate on Americans, at least we try.

most americans like everyone else in the world have the tendency to stereotype and judge without enough information, sure there are those with good hearts and working brains, but sadly they are most of the time overshadowed by ignorant and arogant ones, i don't believe in communism, but this doesn't mean i have to fight everyone else with different belief than mine, and doesn't necessarily mean i'm right and they are wrong in the 1st place !! God when will this world grow up a little!

You make a very good point. It is NOT American to hate America, however certain people think it's in vogue now. The PC, Bush is Hitler, 9/11 was inside job crowd. How can a person really believe these things and continue to live here? Why is it that everyone else on the planet can be proud of their "homeland" but us?
