I've found that alot of them are rather rude, and have a better then you type attitude. Now I'm in no way a rude person but I do speak out when this happens. This is in response to CamernPoe's thread on what's wrong with America. So what is wrong with other countries or is it that more and more people are just ASSHOLES... Example: Probably an American but I was in NYC yesterday(which means it was probably an european because no American's can afford NYC) at the movies and an old man with a walker was coming out of a bathroom, and a younger man just wedged his way through nearly knocking the man down.. Not to sound like our fathers before us but this next generation is going to be a mess not to bright a future unless we start beating our kids again and educating them properly.

No offence to majority of people on this forum.

Well, they just bumped into an American and are unsure as to whether or not to bow and acrap or run for a bomb shelter.

America is better than the rest of the world.  I'm tired of the rest of the world not giving us the proper respect. 

Anyone worth a shit has already left their country and came to the US, so we can just assume that people still living in another country are below us.

Anyone born in the years between 88-94 really seem to be bad. The majority, that is. Half are smoking pot or drinking underage, it's terrible. I'm in those years and thankfully I never got involved in either. This generation is severely fucked up.

I have an 11 year old friend (a girl) who's already had sex 4 times. >_>

People are too lenient with children.

Btw, don't even get me started on NYC kids. I'm surprised that kid didn't actually knock the old man DOWN.

Just because we have a stronger military, economy, etc doesnt mean were actually "better" as in morally or anything.  The rich person is no better then the poor person just because he lives a nicer life.

PS: I thought America had the most ignorant people when it came to talking about other countries, but after seeing these forums and others, my mind has slightly changed.

ok, thats pretty sick with that girl, she needs some help, and your right, people are too lenient with kids.  I used to get spanked if I did something wrong, now parents can go to jail on abuse charges if the kid manages to get a bruise then tell his teacher about it.

there parents are to blame... give them a little hand if they get out of controll they must have been misinformed, uniformed or chloroformed to think there children would be angels without a little discipline

wow. really? gosh gee whiz! i better pack up my bags for a chance to experience the highest per capita crimes by guns.....Not!

You can't demand respect, you earn it.

Well, the US of A  is a beautiful country, do doubt, just that some of its citizens tarnishes its image.

Where I come from isn't that great either but I appreciate the life I have. Its clean, relatively crime free and most importantly, its my home. So as to people from other countries being 'below' you, well, you can go on living in your own little dream world.

Possibly the dumbest thing I've ever seen you say.  You've 1upped yourself good.  Well done.


Back on topic, rude people are everywhere, don't worry there are plenty to go round

.
well what country you from bc EVERY country has its "bad apples" to tarnish its images

I'm American and proud of it, as you should be proud of your country just don't shove your flag in my face while in my country { I get tired of seeing all these different nationality flags everywhere} if you're american then wave  the american flag  and I hate this pc crap " African American " "Mexican American" etc etc if you're american then you're American if I moved to Ireland would I be AmericanIrish or if I moved to africa would I be AmericanAfricacain

its a shame that it took something tragic like 9/11 to bring America together, everywhere you look the flag was raised and people where pround now fast forward 5 years and you barely see anything except the magnet ribbons stuck on the back of ppls car

Jesus. Why would you talk to someone like that? It's not like he said anything bad directed at you.

Maybe you have your own reasons for acting like this, but I just don't get it. What would make you treat someone like that? Do you have that soft of a skin that you have to lash out like this at somone?

Just like I don't understand the sentiment in this thread, that non-Americans are rude/snobby. I'd be interested to know if any of you guys are over 25 and have spent more than a few weeks outside of North America.

Personally I have experienced rude, snobby assholes everywhere I've ever been. I personally have been a rude, snobby asshole. I'm sure all of us have been as well. I don't think posting to the Internet "foreigners tend to be snobby" helps anyone. The best thing that can come out of it is you get a few people saying "yeah dude I agree", but I really can't think of anything less diplomatic.

America is not perfect, our shit stinks like everyone else. There's good stuff, there's bad stuff, there's a lot of both just like with anything else. Major Spittle's complaint, "I'm tired of the rest of the world not giving us the proper respect." The rest of the world gives us a LOT of respect. It's hard to believe you actually think this. Honestly. Maybe you mean the opinion of non-Americans on the Internet. First of all, realize that people on the Internet feel comfortable hating anything that's not part of Their Group. If people are snobby, if people bitch about America, whatever... who cares? Let it slide, be a diplomat, and maybe we'll inspire the respect that you want. We're certainly not going to get it from bitching.

@ Seremaker,

no doubt every country has its bad apple. everybody should be proud of their country. i don't deny you to be a proud american.

but nobody has the right to judge who is better or worse, let alone belittle people of other countries. every nation/ person has their good and bad points.
thats my point.

I have to say I had absolutely no probs with any Americans when I was in New York, DC or Chicago - two giant metropoli and a big city. I was in New York before 9/11 and after and there seems to be a marked difference in the attitude of New Yorkers now. There seems to be a good sense of togetherness and the people were a lot friendlier. Chicago - well what can I say - Chicagoans are the best. Best city in America by a country mile too (and the most 'American' feeling too).

I spent a few months in Wisconsin and attitudes there were quite different. There was a lot of racism towards blacks there. The state is predominantly white so maybe that has something to do with it, I don't know. I encountered a lot of extremely ignorant people there who have no idea what's going on outside their county, let alone their state or country. These were the kind of people susceptible to the mindless 'fair and balanced' bushvision views of FOX news and the like. The "USA! USA! USA!" crowd. Patriotism without knowing why or without questioning the actions of their leadership. This is of course a gross generalisation open to criticism.

So my take on things is that, in general, country folk are the problem in the US, not the city folk. And as for American tourists I meet here in Europe - the ratio of intelligent, well-adjusted, well-informed, discerning Americans to brainwashed, ignorant hicks is massive. Most Americans who go out and see the world are friendly, intelligent, fun loving and sensitive to cultural differences, much like the Americans I met in the big cities of USA.

There are of course some exceptions to this general rule. One such example would be when I was at Oktoberfest in Munich last year a US helicopter engineer who was on leave from Iraq latched onto us Irish folk (claiming Irish ancestry, ability to drink, etc.) - whenever any of us tried to attempt some pigeon german with the locals (out of politeness) he was like "Hey man! You don't have to speak German man! They all speak English!". He kept reiterating that like a mantra and bordered on the violent at times if one expressed disdain about Iraq. That to me is the type of ignorance many Europeans deplore. He is of course a special case. I mean what man in their right mind would use their leave from Iraq to go to the Oktoberfest and not go home to see his loved ones?!!

That is a impression you came by honestly, we have many blindly patriotic country folks. Most have high moral standards, really love God and all really love the USA. Most of them are in the country and not so much the cities. I come from those people, I know you're not surprised to here that.

But I've also visited 15 different countries so I have a slightly different view than most all of my extended family. I come from a big happy clan.

edited to add.

I am agreeing that you are generalizing and saying I can see how you might say that. The rural areas and smaller towns are actually a lot more diverse than you have seen in your travels here.

your point is well taken and correct, no-one should belittle the other but unfortunately it happens everywhere and of course everyone will remember the bad more then they will remember the good ( kinda of like bad news travels faster then good news )
me being raised in the south, I talk little different and act little more polite ( of course we have bad ones in the south also) but I have toured the country and the world and everywhere has its rough spots ex. - Tokyo most ppl don't pay any attention to us but when we are in Okinawa there was a big difference the looks we received could cut through glass and hatred to us ( mostly bc we're military )

The city folk deal with alot different cultures on a daily bases and live in a city where its mostly white collar work but once you venture into the country the culture changes of course (me being from the country I know and I have visited most of the major cities ) the country folk are old school and most make their money blue collar work - we see our way of life disappearing daily, land getting bought for housing development, factories getting shut down bc they are moving over seas, finding work is harder bc you have immigrants that will do the job for less ----- now I know none of this is an excuse for the "country folks" but they also can very polite and maybe you had one bad experience and that left the only impression in your mind but since this thread is about rude ppl of different countries isn't that what you are pushing toward the Wisconsin folk - they are set in their ways just as you are set in your ways ex. they like Pres. Bush, you hate him - they like Fox news bc they actual show the news, you hate Fox news bc they they seem to be right wing news ( but if they were like all the other news channel then you would hear and see the same thing repeated )
I'm sure I could go to Ireland (actual planning a trip to there) and find ppl that would treat me nice and ppl that would treat me wrong but I won't let that stay in my mind and ruin my trip bc they have their ways and I should respect that

I will suggest a boot camp (light version of course) for every kid between 13-15 just to teach them a little self and country respect, and to keep them away from the drugs and bad habits. Boot camp for all
American and proud of it!

P.S. Actually some adults need it too, and urgent LOL
