there are also a ton of douche-bags there. Seriously, some people in the US are just assholes to be assholes, I swear.
I'm pretty sure you can find lots of douche-bags wherever you go. I don't know if we can confine them to one country.

Yes, our portions are huge and there are some huge people. I'm pretty glad to keep myself in check though.

Edit: I was mostly just trying to be funny, but if there's a point to this post, it is that hating on America seems to me to be just as random and arbitrary as trashing Canada. You could do this to any country if you wanted to.

I think America sucks. You guys look weird.


we do.
Us Americans are fat, lazy, gun-toting, and ignorant! Grrr!

Actually, although most of the world's stereotypes about our country are wholly untrue, our overall ethnocentrism is pretty nauseating at times. Everyone I know seems to have the "if they don't believe in freedom and AMURRCA's values, let's bomb them to hell!" attitude.
I find it odd that Canada is made fun of for it's peace keeping missions and lack of strong military. Cause you know, doing something to improve the world is absolutely hilarious.
Teen, never been to America
I don't like it, but don't hate it
Reason:
When I hear of America I always thought of Uncle Sam and SUE LAND prolly because of all those hilarious news articles my friend keeps showing me that makes you think if common sense exist or if it should be even called common...

Although I'd like to see Disney land
I think it's kinda scary there. Most likely, I'll be hit by culture shock.
I am 17 live in Texas, America is not nearly as bad as many people seem to think... One plase you should watch out for is New York. According to much of what I have seen of it, it is full of angry people that love to yell at eachother. It got to to the point of slime growing and nearly destroying the world due to a evil painting. Fortunately, some people brought the Statue of Liberty to life and saved the day (movie reference)

Seriously, there are a lot of cultural referenses the say people in New York are jerks, and Bronx (part of the city) is just plain dangerous.

I live in Wisconsin, which is a very boring portion of the states. But I wouldn't trade America for any other country in the world.

Although it'd be nice to live in England for a while.
I've been to California & Seattle a couple of times, and I must say. America isn't as bad as you think! The cities looked beautiful, the places were outrageous! And the people...stared at us with our Canadian gear. O_o

That was years ago before the whole 9/11 stuff. I did find that there were interesting things that Canada doesn't have. Like...the size of the McDonalds Burgers and Fries!? 4x larger then our stuff! (O_O) the people there seemed to be a bit on edge if you showed you were from another part of the world. Yep, Americans sure are strange.

I remember at the hotel, we had a backyard pool that we used to swim in. And all these American kids wouldn't even go near us, let alone talk us. They would just look at us with their evil eyes and leave. However, two African kids that were from Nigeria were visiting the area, and they were the friendliest of all! We had fun with those guys. So America, I don't know what your like now. But man...you do need some change. THANK GOD YOU GUYS ELCTED A GOOD PRESDIENT!!! ^^
I don't know. My wife and I befriended a couple from New York while in the Dominican for our honeymoon. They were super nice people.

There were also a lot of Germans there. They were awesome at water polo.

Hahah, the Bronx isn't so bad. Nobody gives a shit who you are there, anything goes in the boogie down.
There are dangerous parts in every borough though, from my experiences working there I can tell you don't be an asshole and nobody is going to bother you.

The assumption that New York is dangerous stems from the 80s, when it actually was dangerous. Now, NYC has some of the lowest crime rate out of the most large cities in the country. Part of that can be attributed to the NYPD, which is now more of a military or something than an actual police force. Do not fuck with the NYPD. They will ruin your shit.

Other than that, yeah, New Yorkers can be jerks, but hey, it's a big city, don't be a whiner, you know?

America is awesome because we have Govermental Motors


Don't even joke like that, dude. Seriously, you're freaking me out. D:

I live on an island near Seattle, WA in our "glorious" États-Unis d'Amérique. It's quite nice up here. Peaceful, scenic, etc.
If given the opportunity, I would move to either the UK or Italy. Italy for its fine foods, wines, locations, and laughable government. The UK for generally being more awesome than just about everywhere else. Why we separated from them I will never understand.

Why does everyone live in my state all of a sudden? First Kef, now tardis...

I definitely consider myself a patriot. I'm not the type to jump forth and stab someone for insulting it or anything; but I love my country, for better or worse.

Tardis: Italy is pure paradise. It's the only other place in the world I'd choose to have my permanent residence than the United States.
Hello all you Canadians!
You are ALWAYS welcome in Minnesota!
You'll sometimes get the occasional "Canada's had it way too good for way too long!" mentality here, but for the most part, we let you into our borders without much of a fuss.
(as long as you say "eh" at the end of every sentence, and give us a bottle of maple syrup as you cross into here.) :P

EDIT: By the way, It's called "pop" here. Not soda.
