No more insults from Foo - I've turned over a new leaf.  I love Americans - they're great, so my Q is...

You shouldn't be nice to Americans, they're mostly stupid rude and lazy. Clever insults are more fun to read anyway. PS I'm American.

He was 100% correct.  It definitely applies to the mess we are going through today.  It is Americans that are being discriminated against now.  We cater to the WANTS (not needs), correction ... DEMANDS of these foreigners.  God forbid should we offend them with our culture and national loyalty!  But let them offend us all they want!  I think I'll quit now before I set of on another lengthy tirade.

I wasn't aware that's what people thought.... I've always quite liked Americans, provided they don't display the same arrogance as you....

I agree with you 100%! If you speak your mind , you're considered insensitive and racist! My great-grandparents came here , got a job, learned English, respected the customs and didn't ask for hand outs unlike the millions today!! It's sad really and more "real" Americans should stand up and take our country back but they won't! They just sit there and take it! I went to a immigration protest and the "illegals" out numbered us 20 to 1! Time to take it back!!

YES,i agree with you!!! There should NOT even have to be a question of this!!! ENGLISH is the language that Americans have been speaking since this country was FOUNDED!!! Why should people even WANT to change it NOW?? And,as for OTE (other than English),i have NO problems with people speaking their own language, UNLESS,they are around people who do NOT speak their language!!!! THEN,i think it is RUDE and INSULTING!!!Those of you who speak other foreign languages,PLEASE have enough CONSIDERATION for others around you,who DON'T!!!

1st let me say that you, annoyed American are the most clear thinking person I have had the pleasure to read since I've got on to this website.  keep up the good work, I'm glad your out there. And yes there had better be a backlash by any and all Americans who would like their towns, cities and country back.  The quality of life has been taken away by the only nationality that has come into the US hating, disrespecting America.  I am tired of having the children  of these 'hard working' ILLEGALS  who have joined gangs stare down my family in my home town with violent, hateful looks every day.  My children are constantly harassed in school by the children of these people. Our parks are now littered with diapers and trash. Our streets are strewn with old mattresses and trash.  I want my town back!!!This is not the country I grew up in any longer.

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'm with Leanne on this!  I do like Americans, rather more than is fashionable in the UK at the moment, but I really don't mind that I'm not one.\n\nI get the impression of rather more national pride in America than we see in the UK.  In recent years our flags (the Union Flag and England's St. George's Cross in particular) have been hijacked by racist groups. This does not encourage the more recent immigrants to the country to adopt the national symbols as their own.  As a result we have a collection of sub-cultures which are not really well integrated into the whole.

Yes, I think it;s great---a lot better than the verbal attacks we were getting before last week....I have no problem answering reasonable questions to curious straights and I'm glad to do it. Tolerate isn't a word that comes to my mind in this area.

Well, I have to say, you're being very stereotypical. It's obvious that you don't like Americans, but don't you think that you're generalizing, just a bit? Most Americans have moved on from being prejudiced. Now, I'm not saying that the whole of America isn't prejudiced, because there are a large number of prejudiced people. But isn't it the same in other countries as well? And how exactly do Americans show off? I don't understand. And perhaps we do sometimes get in business that maybe we shouldn't, such as Iraq, but that shouldn't be a reflection on our country, it's a reflection on the choices of the president. And like the person above me said, there are some tourists who think they're God's gift to mankind, but not everyone is like that. A few people shouldn't be cause to hate a whole country. No person, no country, is perfect.

I say go ahead and do it.  If you are that ashamed to be an American, leave the country you loser.  My father served during the same time you did, and I am proud he attempted to help the vietnamese.  I served during my time, and I am proud of it.  Any of you liberal, pinko, commie, idiots feel ashamed of being an American, leave for someplace else.  No need for you to suck up my tax dollars with your whining.  Go.  Leave.  Don't bother coming back.  You losers whine all day and all night about how ashamed you are of the USA, but I don't see any of you losers leaving.  Either quit complaining and wasting oxygen or find someplace else.
