I've done travelling throughout Europe and North America and today I would think that Canadians are the friendliest towards tourists and immigrants.  In general, the Brit's tend to be more conservative and yet are open and curious about other cultures.  A couple of years ago I would have said that Australians would win this little contest but there seems to be a growing climate of rascism which is frightening. Many people from the U.S. tend to be unaware of global cultures and politics and yet can still come across as arrogant.  One of the biggest differences between Canada and the U.S. is that the U.S. considers itself a "melting pot" of different cultures while Canada sees itself as a mosiac, where cultures can co-exist independantly.  I think there's a lot of factors to consider before this could really be answered. ie: people in large urban areas tend to be far more accepting of different nationalities than those in rural areas, people who have directly experienced acts of terror tend to be a little less likely to be open with strangers (to put it mildly), etc.  Interesting question.

Mewxicans,and sad to say,only cause they can tell them apart easier than they can europeans from americans.That sounds so racist,but it's true.I think all immigration officers suck.

Not enough information in your question to be able to say if I would feel threatened.  It would depend different things.  Is the leadership of the country hostile?  Do they say they want you wiped off of the map?  Is the leadership of the country trustworthy?  Does the leadership of the country have respect for human life and human rights?  Is the country stable?  There are a lot of things that I would need to consider to decide if I was threatened.

Your Question has nothing to do with Politics & Government - Its about YOU but I will give YOU an answer.\nI have met people like you abroad and they are usually a pain in the ass.\nI live overseas and the British are highly respected and in any social context  I avoid people like you,as you are an embarrassment.\nIf I had the power and you talked in my presence like this overseas, as you say you do, I would strip you of your nationality and send you to live in a country of that you think is so much better.\nWhy not go to live in Australia.\nBut I am sure you are one of these people who moan about everything yet contribute nothing - lots (too many) of you around.\nAs to your actual Question - "Does it make you Unpatriotic" Yes, but actually no one cares about your silly oppinion, as you are probably half pissed in some bar in Spain.

lol, you should go to canada sometime. imagine the nicest ppl you've ever met, thats pretty much what canada is like. \n\nthis is a generalization (obviously). not all canadians are that nice, but as a whole, they do seem to be more polite. i've been all over canada, and they just seem like friendly ppl.

My brother in law is British and loves it here.  He doesn't want to go back except visit his family once a year.  He hasn't really faced too many problems.  Just some jobs he couldn't get until he became a citizen.

I am an American citizen who married a non-citizen.  If you are seriously considering having your fiancee immigrate to America, get an attourney who specializes in Immigration.  It may be expensive, but I cannot emphasize how easy and stress-free the process becomes.  Just walking into the INS interview with our attourney was like a stamp of approval; the INS knows the attourney has helped us prepare everything the INS needs, and no honest attourney would risk his job by taking on a client who wasn't earnest.

Uh, thats not aggrevating an officer.  I think you are allowed to aggrevate them as much as you want, as long as you arent obstructing them.  But what you described is pretty serious, expect some jail time, before being deported.

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!

i met someone who went to Ukraine. \n  he told me that it was hard, but rewarding. \n     there was a man that he didn't get along with, but he was tough. \nps. you have to be a US citizen to do PeaceCorps.

To escape an abusive home environment, at 16 I joined the UK Royal Navy (big mistake!).  In the Navy I was constantly bullied for being timid & quite.  In particular, there was a superior Officer who bullied me big time.  I had no one to turn to or talk to. To cut the story short I made my first independent trip to London whilst on weekend leave. A gay relationship developed between myself & someone in very high authority at the Russian Embassy.  We met regularly when I was on leave & he particularly loved to see me in my uniform.  In REVENGE for the bullying by the Officer I've mentioned, the Russian Embassy Official also gave me lots of cash for my diclosing & handing over details in particular about my training in Nuclear, Biological & Chemical Defence Warfare Training.  Well, one day back on the Naval training base, I got searched & the Military Police found written coded information in my inside pocket.  They couldn't crack the codes, had no idea who my Russian contact was, & they couldn't crack me even though they confined me to a prison cell for 3 days & nights with no clothes, no bed, no daylight, no food & only the odd glass of water.  Both the Military Police & the highest Commanding Officers just could not believe a 17 year old Sailor was involved in some serious espionage & treason.  They were all so shocked that they decided to keep it quite & discretely discharged me from Military Service.  I still kept in touch for quite a while with my contact at the Russian Embassy here in London.  Eventually our lives went in different directions.  I am 41 now but I will never forget him.

I assume that the US is the country in question?\n\nSoutherners are friendly, to be sure, but I'd say that down-to-earth Midwesterners are just as nice--trustworthy and eager to make a person feel at home (I'm originally from Ohio, so I'm definitely biased!).
