Americans are friendly, liberal people and champions of freedom.
Only few are lazy since majority are employed.

Some of the latest studies on this very subject have been on the news today. They demonstrate that the work week for the average American is increasing. What was once 40 hours per week is not 60 to 80 hours per week. Many of these people are salaried workers and do not earn overtime income.
More importantly, the per cpita level of productivity in America is one of the highest in the world.

No, they are hard-working. They seek opportune times to be laid back or "lazy" as you say, but this isnt the case all the time. While we have a 5-day work week, many other countries have 6 or even 7 days. These two days are spent in genuine relaxment, which is necessary for them to be productive.

No , not really, They work hard.
the life style is
Pampered. and hence turned lazy without knowledge is what i would say.
Drive thru meals , handheld laptops, remote for everything
everything is a phonecall away, onlline shopping.
remember the joeys and chandler's episode where they dont get up from the chair for a week and have the pizza delivered to the other door so that the friends would bring to them
funny but, sometimes america is pampered.

If Americans are lazy how is our country a superpower? How in the couple hundred years we have been a country succeeded better at being a democracy better then any other country in the world?
How do we have our freedoms that we do? Do us a favor and don't reproduce so we don't have any more dumbas$es then we already do in our great country!!

I think that Americans are lazy when it comes to international affairs. We are a lot more concerned about sports and pop culture than the world outside the US.

Not a majority but many.

i hate some americans who sit on their fat asses and do nothing about some of the most important issues going around with all of us and i hate the fact that they think they are better than everyone else and i hate the fact that they think they are the only "true" americans when we also have those from south america and those from central america i think they are all selfish
