LOL Good question!\nStereotypes I had before coming over...bad teeth, nice accents, tea loving, bad bad boring food.\nWhat I learned after living here:  interesting teeth (I like nonperfect teeth actually), nice and very different accents depending on where the person is from, tea loving, very ethnic food that can sometimes be very very good!

hmm, thats interesting. when i tihnk of americans i begin to think of a few types of people:\n\n- firstly i tihnk of an American business women going around New York.\n- Also of a large person eating an equally big hot dog in a food court.\n- I think of an exercise addict and a clean-freak who has to have everything perfect in their house.\n- Then of a kind of 30-yr-old guy who makes videos and stuff and it generally really nice.\n- Then I think of George Bush and hope that no one else in America is that annoying.\n\nI know my answer sounds really wierd but those are a few "typical" Americans that i picture in my head.\nHope this helps and what do you think a "typical" British person is like?

I am an American and the truth is Americans are arrogant. Americans will visit a foreign country and call the people there foreigners! lol, it's true. But seriously, I do think that's the reason why...not to mention we are a bit spoiled. Now understand, not ALL Americans are like this but you can safely say the majority fit in this category.

Yes..you hit the nail right on the head..I can tell you from an "outside" perspective that is exactly what the world sees..it is a shame that trusted governments can hurt their own people so much..Freedoms are being lost daily in the USA..Bush has been a very destructive man..not just to the U.S. but the suffering he has caused throughout the world is appalling. I hope the American people can stop it before it is too late...The blind and shallow-minded will disagree.

The sad thing is, most of us do not care about their views, but other countries see their views as America's views as a whole, since they are in the media spotlight....scary isn't it?

CHILL DUDE.\ni'm from UK and i personally think the Americans are great i've met quite a few and found them all to be polite and friendly and very warm people.\nWhat you say we think about you may apply to some but then again there is no shortage of that kind of people in the UK too,and probably any country you can think of.

I must preface what I have to say just a bit...I love America, and what I say here is not a reflection on ALL Americans, but how we have gotten the reputation that we have!           I have traveled extensively and it is true Americans are VERY disliked! It because of a few different reasons. One being entitlement. Most American think they are due the best and fastest service, that they are entitled to tell other people how to live and what to believe. We are a nation that is very spoiled and really has no grasp on other peoples lives. Americans...I hate to say are a complacent people also, which leads to mis-understanding from other cultural groups. Finally there is our President...I think from what you wrote above I need not expound on this issue. Yes Americans ARE very dis-liked, but this is not all together unfounded.

Not really. The world is full of interesting countries, not just the US. Even when I lived in the US, I felt unique because coming from another country I have a different perspective to offer to the Americans.

You mean a reflection?  I believe that the nation is seen in that light, but too bad that the rest of the world doesn't care to see our hearts and that we don't all agree with what our president and his administration does.

Based on (limited) personal experience: USA

Probably. Americans in general though have a very short attention span, especially for political issues so it won't last long. I don't think his aproval rating will get that much higher anyway.

it is very sad but shows only one side of the story \nI respect and value human life but this picture is not about the whole nation it shows individuals\nI am sure that you could find similar photo of the other side \nwell americans are no better in that way either if you want to judge a whole nation by individuals

you mean the USA? Don't know why some people stare. It is rude. People should mind their own business. If they're going to stare they should go up to the person and say something about it.

I agree with you. Americans think that we can boss around every one we please. We have a severe case of nationalism, and arrogance.
