Are you insane? Maybe it's just a language barrier, but you don't make any sense.

It pisses me off when people think all Americans are fat, ignorant, hypocrites and right-wing nuts. ...and it also pisses me when people think that all Colombians are drug dealers, dishonest, and criminals. I say shut the fuck up and learn to judge people without generalizing based on what's spread through the media or word of mouth of those who have never been to a country they are daring to criticize.

Although I really hate the government, too, but I hate the government here as well. Blair and Bush are messing up the world. I also hate how the settlers came in and stole the land from the Natives and killed them, basically. Obviously the people who live there now did not do that, but their ancestors did. So every time you call yourself an American, remember you are living on stolen land. But the thing I hate most about America is the way you ruined our language. Again, this is not the fault of modern America, it was the people who were there before you. I personally am not happy about the Scots speaking English, but at least we speak it properly. Sorry if the above rant looks as though I am having a go at America, I'm not. It is just the original settlers I have a problem with. Oh, and also the way Hollywood glorifies and changes everything to make it look better, like Custer's Last Stand, and Braveheart. I seem to recall there was a bridge at the Batlle of Stirling Bridge. Now that is a modern American problem.

I know!! Once, my teacher went to the US, and she told people she was Brazilian. This one guy actually asked if people walked around naked and lived in forests. He was serious, too. Plus they were showing everyone how to fold an American flag. They asked her, "How do you fold YOUR flag?" "We don't fold our flag, actually." She said they just stared at her as if her country was uncivilized. I hate prejudice like that. :-(

Why doesn't that surprise me when even the President of the United States has no clue that there's black people in Brazil, too.

Yes, I believe I do want a piece of you.

And this hate comes, presumably, from your extensive travels and experience in the United States and your personal interactions with the citizens therein?

You'd find some people like that in some of the Southern, bible belt states. There are some people in those areas, not all, some that think America can do no wrong and we are God's gift to the planet. However, the majority of Americans are pretty realistic.

Still, at least I didn't make any typos (amazingly) and I stand by every word. Amanda - Off the top of my head: California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennesse, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersy, New York. I didn't get to visit your state and it's fabulous arch. And I do hope to visit again someday, this time doing the top-half of the country! Crazy Little Thing - Can't say I'd ever heard of Alexis de Tocqueville, but after checking him out on Wikipedia I say to thee "ithankyou". Slap the P - Thanks very much. Never underestimate the power of posting whilst your're drunk. Lisser - Me too. And I hope you get to travel too! As I said, I can understand why so many Americans don't wander too far from their country's borders, but it still saddens me that they don't. There's so much world out there...

I remember that you took the trip, but I don't remember when that was. I'm going to assume it was before I moved cross-country; otherwise, I would have enjoyed a little verbal sparring with a pedantic grammarian. Also, Tocqueville toured our prisons while visiting the US. One assumes Bohardy did the same.
