Some do, some don't. There are a lot of Americans compared to most European countries and many value the things you mention. Europeans seem to value quality of life more than quick profits and working yourself to death. And you're more likely to find a janitor in France visiting a museum than watching Oprah or Springer. The bathing and armpit hair are old stereotypes.

Perhaps because we are still the "teenagers" of the world-- we don't have some of the ancient history that other countries (such as Europe) may have. I can't believe that ALL Americans are less lacking than Europeans though--I've met any number of Europeans whose interest in such things is far less than my own.

Why don't Europeans value bathing and shaving their armpits as much as Americans?
Sue F, I answered a dumb question with another dumb question. His question was a gross generalization of Americans.

false premise. We value those things more than Euros do.
