what would you say to an american if you had the chance?

Question

would you say what you really felt? how do you really feel?

Answer 1

Id say 'you're a nice enough bunch of people, but your government is full of tossers, and your leader is a w@nker'.

Answer 2

What the hell does that mean? I am an American, and just because I live in this country doesn't mean that I am PERSONALLY responsible for all of its policies and procedures. However, I will stand behind my country because I love it here, and I would NEVER leave because as screwed up as some things are, it's still the best place on Earth to live. The only reason everyone else hates us is pure and simple: JEALOUSY. Foreigners only wish they had the freedoms that we do, and that they could benefit from the types of programs our government has created to assist the poor. If you were suffering from a terminal illness, would you rather be treated by American doctors in America, or by a medicine man in the Amazon Jungle? If you were poor, undernourished and malnutritioned, with 3 kids, would you come to America and ask for help or would you go to Pakistan? We, America, may be too involved in other countries, another reason they hate us, but if you evaluate our reasons for being there, 99% of the time it is a humanitarian one. We give uncounted billions of dollars, money raised from the American citizens labor, to aid other countries each year. What other country can you say does that? So what would you say to an American if YOU had the chance? Because you DO have the chance, right here in this forum....however, I've noticed that YOU have remained SILENT. This is how I really feel, sick of all these lame *** people putting this country down when they have no idea how little control the people of this country actually have over what is done overseas. If you want to hate someone, hate the ones who are in power, NOT THE CITIZENS. Unfortunately, we are the ones who always bare the brunt of your insults. What would you say to the victims families of 9/11, if you had the chance? Would you say, "Well, your brother, son, daughter, ect. was just a stupid American and got what they deserved because of who they voted for?" In fact, I dare you to come over here and make a statement like that. Even though some of us were not related by blood to the victims of 9/11, we still felt the tradegy as if we were related, because in truth we are bonded together by our American values, one of which is to stand behind our country. After 9/11, almost every single car in this country proudly waved the American flag, to honor those who had lost their lives. In fact, there was a period of time when you couldn't even BUY a flag, because they were ALL SOLD OUT.
This is just how I feel. What would you like to say to me? I'm a full blooded American, FIRE AWAY!

Answer 3

Oh get a grip woman. You may have issues with the way that the American government runs its affairs, but to suggest that we would speak to someone from that country, without knowing them as an individual, in a particular way beacause they are American, is ridiculous.

This"acceptable" form of racism is still racist in my eyes. Why don't you get out there and meet some real life Americans for yourself. Its the only way these prejudices will ever be combated.

Answer 4

I would say you live in the greatest country on the earth. Be proud of it & defend it with every thing in your being, aginst foes without & foes within. NO one has more liberties in the world then you. Defend them/ You can say any thing , go any where, do anything (within the law). This is the ONLY country that gives you that righjt. Where else can you come from another country . become a citizen & injoy so many benifits as here. So proudly stand up & proclame " I AM A AMERICAN"

Answer 5

Hello American!

Answer 6

First off, this question can be generalized beyond Americans. What relevance would being American have on speaking your mind? Is your question that there's *always* something about Americans to speak one's mind about?

Keep in mind that America has a HUGE population, and if you're inferring some sort of generalization about them via your question, you need to re-evaluate what you mean by it.

Answer 7

I would ask the American (assuming you mean US citizen, considering Canada and Mexico and South AMERICA are all Americans) how it feels to live in the greatest county in the world. I would also ask them if they feel thankful for all the blessings they have. Then I would say "happy Thanksgiving".

Answer 8

I am an American.

Answer 9

I would have to tell them that the whole world does not love them as much as they seem to think we do. I have heard (whether its true or not) that most americans havent even been outside the USA that they holiday somewhere else in the country. Dont have anything nasty to say about them...that I can think of lol

Answer 10

How would you know they were American unless you spoke to them in the first place? (Sorry nini but that is a bit of a silly question!)

However, I would normally say hello, smile at them and introduce myself depending where I met them. I hate to say this but Americans are just Human Beings - the same as we are.

Answer 11

Something like, 'my names monty, how are you'? or maybe ' fancy a pint'. I don't know depends what context we are in, are we in a restaurant, a petrol station, at work, in a shop?
By the way, we British have the same freedoms you have and have enjoyed these freedoms for far longer - its just people want to abuse these more over here.
