I am British and I am married to an American Citizen. We live in the UK now. Ive only met one unfriendly American............ my sister in law in Texas LOL.
Yes, America is a lot more violent than the UK I lived in Texas for a short while and witnessed many things you would not see here in the UK. But as a country as a whole, its a great place. I came home because I couldn't stand the humidity of Houston and the diet was slowly killing me LOL.
I am happy to return often for vacations.
PS: I have travelled all over the US not just to Houston Texas. I am planning to visit ever state eventually! I've done 10 so far.

Unfortunately crime happens in every country. Tourists get robbed or worse in any country of the world. It is easy when you are struggling to assimilate into American culture to lump home sickness,fear or the unknown and truly unfortunate things that happen to you together in on big mess. I mean this sincerely I am glad your friend had a place to go back to where she would be more comfortable. The mistake most immigrants make is not understanding that with freedom comes extreme personal responsibility. Many immigrants have to take one step back in their station in life until the opportunities in America become accessible to them. It sometimes seems harsh. American immigration is not for the Timid.

I beleive that people are going to be friendly or unfriendly anywhere you go in the world. Its not perfect, its a matter of the right place at the right time. That would be the same as a crime, it does happen, some places less than others.

I don't believe people should assume on one expeiance. I know alot of people who have stereotypes against New Jersey, and I met five guys from there and they were the nicest politest guys I'd ever met... like EVER.
I know people who've said that they've came to england and found people rude. I've heard bands say they've come to england and the fans are more polite then american fans. It varies really.

Because America is in a stupid war right now, so people hate it for that, and Americans aren't so nice towards travelers. I Like America BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T

Not really...since most people liked it enough here to move here permanently.
Right now, I think most of the anti-American sentiment in the world ties directly to George Bush. Except for the islamic wackos...they always hated us for supporting Israel too much.

I disagree actually. I'm English and I'm not really keen on a lot of aspects of America but I would disagree that they are unfriendly. Of course, there is crime. There's crime everywhere. Your friend has formed a bad impression but it's not really true.

it somewhat is drilled into our heads from a youthful age to no longer communicate to strangers as they could be risky. Our dad and mom advise properly and prefer to guard us from being abducted. A kiss is seen as an intimate own gesture reserved for below relatives and fanatics; whether it somewhat is merely a kiss on the cheek.
