Lucky you!\nI had to realise that in Germany the boys just did not wear Lederhosen, when I asked a guy in Berlin, he insisted that the Lederhosen would only been worn in a small part of Germany called Bavaria and only for some festivities.\nHe really got upset, when I told him that 50 years ago all Germans were wearing Lederhosen all day long and that you can see it in all movies about Germany from that time.\nI tell you those Europeans are crazy and next time when I want to see the REAL Europe I will go to Florida, to the Epcos center.\n\nAnswer to your addition:\nI think fashion itself is more and more global, the leading fashion centers are Paris, Milano, Rome, Tokyo, New York and London.\nThere will be fashion trends that are initiated in any of the countries, sometimes in other places that make it around the world. From your view it lookes like Europeans dress American, from a European view it looks like Americans dress European. Your initial description sounds like a European is travelling to New York or Chicago and expecting everyone to be dressed like a cowboy or like Al Capone.\nJust look at the Brand Names you see all around: Chanel - french / Hugo Boss - German / Armani - Italian / Kenzo - Japan / Billabong - Australian / Stüssy - Austria / Tommy Hilfinger - US and so on ...\n\nIt's global, not american.

Who is "you guys", you mean Americans?  If so, it's cause we are a different culture, so accept it, we are all different!  Would it be any fun if we were all the same?  Plus, we're Americans and we do what we want to cause we think we're free....  But that's another story to talk about!!!

Why is it that other people have to group all Americans together as "the majority of Americans". The majority of Americans do not think the way you guys honestly believe they do. Just a VERY limited few ignorant souls with huge mouths seem to ruin it for everyone. But that doesn't mean that the majority of people feel that way and I DO NOT appreciate being grouped with these people.

All Americans are not immigrants. Most Americans are born American citizens. The settlers that came over were not immigrants, they were just settlers. The American Indians were settlers too. The land that is now America was merely unclaimed land, therefore not a country at the time. The ones who claim we are all immigrants are either ignorant or trying a diversionary tactic to excuse people invading our country illegally, namely the illegal aliens.

All Americans are different.  This American thinks that any two people who want to have a relationship with one another should do so.

Not at all. We all have periods of self doubt. It doesn't matter if you're American or not. It doesn't make you any less American.

Not all of us are not proud to be americans.  Many people aren't because they have a feeling of self-loathing that america is the most fabulous nation in the world.  They feel it's unfair that america is prosperous, powerful, and happy. They ease their minds by making all of the world's problems america's fault.  I can say that I still am proud to be American.  Can you?

If all you guys are american  - you should be ashamed of yourselves....You salute it every day of your school days - pass bills that demand it be treated with the same respect as a "living thing" - and so many of you don't even know how many white stripes.  Shame!

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