What do you think of Americans

I agree with you 100%, I also like americans but i think the goverment tends to brainwash the population and they fall for it well alot do anyway. What irritates me is all this "we are bigger and better" attitude. The USA population is not that old and the majority had family come to the usa and settle 100s of years ago. I dont like flying into america as a european because i dont like the way i am treated as a terrorist. I am all for safty but i feel that needing information about my money status or having to queue in a like called aliens is stupid, an alien isnt even human! we dont make them stand in queues like that in other countrys. I also find it silly that americans can come into mexico with no passport but everyone who enters any other country needs a passport. If mexicans try to go to america they amount of forms they need to fill out is not fair comapared the us citizens being able to walk into countrys without passports. Please dont get me wrong i am not saying this agaisnt the people of america this is more the goverment and how some people are so sucked into it they are totally brainwashed.

I agree. Obviously people vary just like anywhere else , but there does seem to be a perception from some in the USA that they are the only people with a true democracy , and they lead the world in that area. America has racial, political and religious issues just like the rest of us. There appears to be a lot of blind patriotism which can be just as dangerous as any more overt tyrrany.

I like Americans, I think they are like us in a way, I don't think we handle criticism all that well either, I just love it when celebrities come to this country and 5 mins off then plane reporters ask them what they think of Australia....:)

good

I like Americans not their government or president though

I am an American and proud to be...but.....I know we aren't the only free country and there are some awesome places to visit outside our 50 states and some awesome people. I feel you are wrong the say all Americans are too political and think any criticism about them is political. We are not all like that.

Well, I am an American. Born and Bred in the USA, and I think you have it all wrong, as most Americans are not like this. There are some I am sure who do, but you need to remember no matter where you are, there are people who think they are better than others. Well, as the Political, you could be looking at it thru the point of view that Bush has percieved us to look like, which if he cared more about his Country he would not make himself look like we do not care about others.

I am American, and I do try to take criticisms politically. I know they can't be personal, because these people don't even know me, and a lot of them have probably never met an American. All they know about us is what makes the news which is usual political. I would certainly hate to believe that when someone on mylot states "Americans are all bad" they wouldn't be including me. All this "my country is better than yours" stuff makes me tired!

I'm American but I would pack up my things and move to Australian in a heartbeat if I had the money. The political stuff makes me ill here.

I love America and Americans. It is the greatest country in the world. All countries have faults, as America does too. But in general, it's the best all around.

there politicians is not finds I so long the Americans cool...:-))

IN NOW THESE DAYS AMERICA IS MOST POWERFULL COUNTRY SO SOME TIME THEY DID VERY BAD WORK SO WE CAN SAYTHAT THIS COUNTRY PUT HIS DISIGEN ON OTHERES

I'm American and I don't care a bit about politics! Everyone here is wrapped up in them and talk about them constantly, but I really don't have a clue!
