.....Americans being "so full of themselves", others say they think they are "all that"? I don't think so. Do you think so?

I think so..And I am american. that is why americans act the way they do.Because we have alot of freedom that other countries dont have so this country puts other countries and the traditions or the religions of those countries down. Americans do think they are better than other countries that is why they try to impose their beliefs unto other countries. That is why we have been to war with so many countries.

Yes, there is a certain type of American who is very vocal at the wrong time/circumstance...I've heard them in countries saying to impoverished people really inappropriate comments about how they'd never allow that at home in America, etc...a lot of them can't seem to appreciate any cultural differences..it's always America is better..which may or may not be true...but they could score more points by just celebrating the differences is people. Of course, not all americans are like that...but the ones who are are sure loud.

I think like everywhere else in the world, there are people who are full of themselves and then you get those people who stereotype and then say everyone from America are full of themselves because they met one person from America who is full of themself. I don't agree and I'm not from America.

Not the ones ive met, I have met some people from my own country that have worse manners.....(Australia), you get people that are ;full of themselves' from every nation, there is no point in generalising, it just makes enemies.....

me personally? no, i don't think i'm "all that". in terms of our country? yeah. i wouldn't want to live anywhere else. and there's nothing wrong with taking pride in your country.

I guess we all need to complain and vent sometimes.
