I feel that europeans and americans are more alike than they are willing to believe. and not trying to start anything, but is it a little bit, just a tinge, of jealousy? as much as europeans and some americans want to deny american influence in the the world, it is there, present, alive, and still kicking. I think that some europeans have a hard time accepting that because they don't agree with american policy. what they don't seem to notice is that a lot of american don't either. However that is no reason to be outright rude to someone just because they are american. as much as you want to ignore the american influence, we do set the tone for the rest of the world. a lot of the time, other countries don't act unless they know what direction the US is headed in. I guess if i wasn't an american, i might feel this way too. but sitting where i am now, i have to say it kind of gets old. who knows......maybe americans are just more laid back than europeans
