I don't know why we Americans are so agressive, but I've noticed that too.

hahaha...Sterotypes!!!!! However if you want to know why I think Americans are seen as aggressive, is because we have a very competitive culture. From the very beginning of our lives we are taught that being successful and having money/things means you are doing well and have a meaningful life. I think that creates aggressive people. Always striving to climb to the top no matter who they *uck over. This been said... only some act this way... not all.
As for violence... i lived in london for a while... and saw some guys knock the *hit out of some other guy in a club... sooo i think it might just possibly be good old human nature!

Trust me it is not just Americans! Countries in Africa slaughter their own kinds by the thousands. They even recruit kids to become killers. Afghanistan, North Korea, Columbia (SA), Russia, China, Zimbabwe, it is a human thing not just a thing in the United States of America.
Columbine was kids who were not raised by their parents very well. They were allowed to do many things that they were never allowed to do. By the way Bowling for Columbine was a very good movie. Not all of us own guns, by the way.
US has its problems for sure, I think that the big one is we are too busy with silly things that are in our lives. Surely those parent were so caught up in their jobs that they missed some big clues that would of made their parents more aware of what was going one. Parents need to spend more time with their kids, as a teacher, I am painfully aware of this fact.

bowling for columbine an excellent documentary??? I truly question your taste in what you consider to be a good movie.
Americans are aggressive because we are #1 and always will be. With a name such as "lazy" I wonder why don't you get up off your **** and challenge any American in order to get ahead in your life.
I assume you enjoy being a couch potato huh?

The question should really be, "Is this really a documentary." Answer No.
Bowling for Columbine is fiction. It is entirely Michael Moores biased opinion. Which makes America look bad, and unfortunately he has succeeded in that.

I'm American, and I'm not aggressive. Maybe a little in bed but I think it's OK there

its not just Americans its humans in general .if you look throughout the world humans everywhere do and have done what is necessary to succeed which means one would have to be dominant and aggressive.it all boils down to a form of survival and bottom-line its animal instincts and we are all animals.

I completely agree. But not all Americans are aggressive.
