I agree with that particular point. They believe all what TV give them without reflexion or asking themselves questions. They mix issues that have nothing to do together (Saddam Hussein and the WTC Towers for exemple). When I meet US people in the streets of Geneva, (I am touristic guide, see my blog - adress on my profile), they are always amazed by the oth correct me, I'm always open. I only hope my thinking is clear enough for the readers. Thanks)

Originally posted by Phlabibit5. Americans love to watch American movies. So far as they're concerned, no other type of culture exists anywhere.

I've also lived in Israel, France, Scotland, England and Holland.
And I can easily state that I've never met a more patriotic nation than the US.
I can easily state most of the things I've said.
Obviously they're generalisations with connections with each other and beyond (for example: being overtly patriotic is due to a form of education which must be biased to some extent. Biasedness in the sense of "America is great" or "One country is BETTER than another" when you're basically talking about a piece of land, stems from a simplistic approach...so on and and so forth. Education obviously not being soley restricted to school, but including media, parents and friends).
The Scots are not stingy though!!! 😉

Originally posted by mike2119No, I didn't feel you were directing at me... I just wanted to post that, as I feel most of the world gets the wrong view of Americans, as Americans get the wrong view of most everyone else too.

Yeah...I know...
I wrote a piece on it: http://shavixmir.blogspot.com :
Mukwonago, Wisconsin
“Can I have the special please? The Triple cheese burger. Plain please.”
“Do you want cheese on that?”
“If I didn’t, I would ask for the triple burger plain, wouldn’t I?”
“We don’t sell that sir.”
“Why are you offering it then?”

“We’re out of the pasta salad sir.”
“That’s a pity.”
“You could try our restaurant on the other side of the street sir.”
“Why is there no sign telling what time the bus goes?”
“There is, up at the other end of the street, at the bus stop up there.”
“Why not here?”
“This bus goes the other way.”
“But I really want to know what time this bus goes.”
“You could ask the driver…”
Sign that reads: “Next gas station 103 miles.”
“Of course I own a gun. That’s our God given right.”
“I see.”
“It’s one of the principles upon which this great country is founded!”
“Yes.”
“We don’t need a nanny state telling us what we can and cannot do. We’re all mature.” ”I understand.” 3 minutes of silence as the gun owner attempts to tie his shoe lace and finally gives up.
“Damn!”
“Having problems?”
“I have rheumatic fingers.”
“Is this a small coke?”
“Yes sir.”
“It’s a bloody litre!”
“It’s the smallest we sell sir.”

“It’s a quiet life up here.”
“It certainly seems peaceful enough.”
“Folk up here get on well together.”
“No fights then?”
“We just don’t have a nigger problem.”
Sign that reads: “The library is closed July/August.”
“Ha ha…what would terrorists want to be doing around here?”
“They could poison the lake.”
“I hate terrorists. They gotta be stopped!”
“I don’t like the big city son.”
“Do you go often?”
“I have to pick up the goods there.”
“Milwaukee? Madison?”
“No, I’m talkin’ about Racine.”
“The refills are free sir.”
“Why would I buy a large coke then?”
Playing in ‘Movie land’:

“Do you think that the end of the world has to be measured in time?”
“…uh?”
“Well, it could be measured in distance, could it not?”
“…Do you want a popcorn with that coke sir?”
