What do you think of an American?

Answer 1

love 'em.

Answer 2

Me like American.

Answer 3

An American is a lucky person who was born with many chances to be their self. When referring to an American it generates pros or cons but there is something to be said about that person, that is why an American has the huge responsibility to represent their culture and straggle for humanity.
Not all Americans are right people but most of them are amazingly humanitarians, generous, open-handed, proud of themselves but not selfish... in short, I adore the American way

Answer 4

Which American? Just a random American?

We need more details.

Answer 5

As an American living in England, I can tell you that most people find us as individuals fine, interesting people. As a nation they find us obnoxious and overly ethnocentric. From speaking to hundreds of people in the 3 years I've lived here, I've found that a lot of people on first glance say that Americans aren't well informed about the world as a whole, but about how America affects everything. And Europeans are not fond of our politics. Not just George Bush, but the way our government seems to create and manipulate policies to its own benefit... like the Global Gag Rule for example.
I am careful to tell people I'm an American on first meeting. If I get a bad vibe from the people I'm meeting, I usuall say I'm Canadian... they love Canadians.

Answer 6

The same thing I think of a Canadian, an Incan, an Ethiopan, a Cambodian, Jew, Muslim, Christian, mountain man, fisherman, or any other country/geographic/ethnic/political label I can place upon another human being.

I think each person is just that. A person. To look for the big picture of their country of origin plastered on them like a billboard is unfair and unrealistic. Just as one pixel represents a tiny part of a bigger image, one person represents a miniscule part of their bigger picture... whether that picture if of their country, their politics, their part of the world, their gender, or their beliefs.

When I see one person, I see an individual life. One that may interact with mine, or one that may never influence me in any way. I have no way of knowing what that other person is, inside... who they feel good about, what they dislike, what they hope for, where they are going. When I see another person, if I am fortunate enough to look at them face-to-face, in real life... what do I think of them? I wonder... what do they think of me?

Answer 7

God blesses America because of the high number of Christians.
Greatest country on the planet.
Most giving nation on the planet.
Land of opportunity.
Liberals are trying to destroy it.

I did not answer for individual Americas. That is like saying what do you think of a song. There are too many differences, so your question was impossible to answer.

ajf185...It is laughable to call yourself an American after your post. I travel abroad 1/3 of my life. I am PROUD to be an American, and would NEVER claim to be from Canada or any other country. I find that the number of people around the world who dislike Americans are few and those who dislike the American government are about 1/2. And of those 1/2 who dislike the American government, about 2/3 have misrepresented ideas about America from the RADICALLY left-wing BBC. I have had many Europeans come to my home and stay and learn a little more about America, Americans, and American Government. All of them go home with an higher opinion of all 3 when they return.

Anastasia...I disagree. There are a lot of Russian beauties, but I would take American women ANY DAY.

mbush40...I would not say that about Middle Eastern Muslims (and this is the majority...the few are peaceful)

Answer 8

an american what?

Answer 9

We believe that the Constitution of the United States is the best political charter yet created by men for governing themselves. It is our belief that the Constitution is designed to guarantee the free exercise of the inherent rights of the individual through strictly limiting the power of government.

We reaffirm our belief in the Declaration of Independence, and in particular the belief that our inherent rights are endowed by the Creator. We further believe that our liberties can remain secure only if government is so limited that it cannot infringe upon those rights.

• We believe that capitalism is the only economic system of our time that is compatible with political liberty. It has not only brought a higher standard of living to a greater number of people than any other economic system in the history of mankind; more important, it has been a decisive instrument in preserving freedom through maintaining private control of economic power and thus limiting the power of government.

• We believe that collectivism and capitalism are incompatible, and that when government competes with capitalism, it jeopardizes the natural economic growth of our society and the well-being and freedom of the citizenry.

• We believe that it is the responsibility of the individual citizen, whenever his inherent rights are threatened from within or without, to join together with other individuals to protect these rights, or, when they have been temporarily lost, to regain them.

• We believe that any responsible conservative organization must conduct itself within the framework of the Constitution; in pursuance of this belief we refuse to countenance any actions which conflict in any way with the traditions of the American political system.

Answer 10

Depends on the American or person in general. I don't base judgement on someone by where they're from.

Answer 11

I am American.

Wherever you go, people are different. I love the country I live in and I appreciate everything I get from it. It's not perfect, but what place is? I'm completely poor, but I am going to school to be a doctor. There aren't very many places in the world where you can go from being completely poor to a millionaire.

I love America.
