I agree with everything that Sheath said a couple of pages back.
Every nation gets bashed every once in a while.
For example:
- Americans: fat redneck who's married to his shotgun
- French: loaf and snail eating people with funny mustaches
- Germans: beer drinking people with sausages and lederhosen
- Brits: tea loving people who are way too polite and rule-obeying.
But unlike most other nations, americans often get genuinely offended when you stereotype them. They always take a defence position and start telling everyone else why the US is the best country in the world. I've even seen it in this thread. it always goes something like this:
"Not all americans are fat. We've got the best country in the world. Our military is superior, and without it, the entire world would be forgeted. See what we did in the middle east? Yeah. Remember WW2? Yeah.
We also have the most inventions and important persons. We invented the atomic bomb. We invented the car. And the M16. The world would be forgeted without our technology"
I never see anyone from France or Germany react like that. But every 2nd american starts acting like that, even if the original comment was meant to be funny. That's annoying.
