And fixed that post too. If your asking what someone thinks of you, you should atleast use good grammar. Expessially if your asking about an entire country you are representing......

The American people that I have met in real life have been extremely friendly.

When it comes to the internet. It's a bit of a 50/50 case.

I have met some really friendly American people online.

On the other hand, I'll have to bring up the motto "If you ain't got nothing nice to say, don't say nothing at all"

I don't understand why people can have this pure hatred for an entire population. Most of the people I know that don't like American's have never actually met one in real life before.

It is a nice place in parts. With mostly nice people, but also absolute morons that make us angry. The thing I really don't like is the "USA is #1" attitude. As a whole we just see it as blind patriotism.

They're certainly more nationalistic than I. And, that might be due to you being from there. Just because you don't feel biased doesn't mean you aren't.

Stereotypes most of us think (definately not me) :

1) Fat

2) Stupid

3) Rednecks with guns

4) Religious/Naive

5) Lazy and Ignorant

6) Patriotic

These are some popular ones, some people are like that but I know for a fact that decent people are everywhere especially in most American states.

For a fair analysis a percentage should be used....and not total number. Since it's highly possible to have a higher percentage believe their country is number one while the higher population in the US may skew lower...percentage wise.;)

In a wider sense than these forums though. The british as a whole have a very downbeat view of nationalism, we don't think we are great, we fell behind a long time ago and we know that. Most of the nationalistic feelings in this country come from people who were alive when the Empire existed, or are neo-nazis.

There is a sarcastic sense of national identity, but besides that the UK hate themselves and each other. The UK in itself has literally no national pride, each country has a rivalry that leads almost to hating each other.

Sure people here bash America, but that is the fashionable thing to do, I'd be hard pressed to find a country without blind anti-american feelings. But when it comes to the British, we are a nation of complainers, and we complain about everything, bashing Americans is a form of complaining, we bash ourselves more than America, because we are simply complainers.

I'm not a fan of them for these reasons

1. All the america is number one and patriotism

2. How the politicians just seem to attack each other instead of actually talking about thier own polocies

3. How high they hold they're political beliefs

4. Extreme chrisitians that try to get christian beliefs tought as science

5. The amount of people that seem not to know anything about countries outside the US

6. How racism seems to be accepted, over here we still have racists but no one votes for someone simpley cause they're white

7. Thinking that they're doing good by starting wars under the premace of 'helping' the people

8. Thinking that WWIIwould be impossible to win without their help

That's all i can think of for the moment and this dosn't stand for all americans ofcorse but there are certainly some and i just hate those people

If your country doesn't get some pride in itself it shall cease to exist as it is. Immigrants will change the country....so not having pride is not always a good thing.

It has already happened to some effect, and is certainly happening now. Fueled by a low level of "news" working class areas are becoming more racist and that is the only form of nation pride we really have.
