A serious question for Americans.?

Mr Cellophane

I think the word you are looking for is cocky. We are Americans and proud of it, even if it is an accident of birth. I would hope that other people from other nations would have that same feeling towards their homeland.

We also do not get radio and TV from other countries. So the average person does not get an idea of the world consensus. So it is a mixture of blind pride and manipulation by the media.

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize for all the "idiots" in America who act that way.
Be assured that we all don't think or act that way!
My guess is that you've only spent time in the big cities here??? I can guarantee you that us country folk act totally different.

Go ahead, you big city dwellers.....try and refute what I said!

answering this question would be a waste of time, but, i just wanted to let u know that ur ignorant, and need to get the facts straight

clearly, u didnt put the place where u were from on there because if u did, it would look horrible next to the US

IM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN

and no, we dont think we "invented" everything, that was really random

just stay home and dont complain

I'm American and don't think I'm superior to anyone....I always thought that it was more of the EU countries who thought that (judging by questions and answers anyway).

Could you give examples of people who think we invented everything?

May Be You Have An Inferiority Complex ?

Um...maybe its because during both World Wars we saved the Europeans and everyone else from the Axis Powers (WWII) and Central Powers (WWI). Last time I checked, these wars were won once the US had entered them. If it was not for the US, we may all be speaking German, Japanese or Italian. We fly the flag of democracy that all other nations seem to follow. I am glad to see that you like our country.

I don't know who you've run into, but we're really not all like that.

You can't say things like that,you get your question and replies removed. Well I did and all I did was paraphrase a particularly nasty American by calling him a "dumba$$ American wanker" so much for freedom of speech and the American way.
Cheers "Boris" you tosser.

Well I'm glad you like us Americans. I'm sorry you get "We know everything vibe" from our country. It's just a stereotype that you probably have encountered by some "elite" jerks.

Sugar, that's not just Americans,, it's just MEN,, they think they are superior, in every way, and know all there is to know about every thing.

I hate to say this but due to are lack of knowledge of history and the very basics we cover in our school systems. we do feel superior because we don't know any better. yet there are lots of open minded US citizens that care deeply about the out side world. we are not all bad just misguided.

stevis78

Yes, it's because we are superior. Some of us are proud of that, others have intense guilt.

the only reason we think that is because we can. thank you for liking us, unlike the rest of the world...

Papa

In addition to our ability to utilize a spell checker, we are also able to steal from the rest of the world their knowledge, and convince people like you that it was our idea in the first place. That makes us superior.

I disagree, That americans think they are superior, bec u shold appreciate that americans trust easily, thats their biggest weakness. And we all learn from our mistakes, and this is not just confined to an american per se or an Indian perse it identifies with humanity at large.
America is more open, atleast it gives other ethnicities a chance to come and see america, tell me which other country is a host to so many cultures and ethnicities. I think after India, america is the only country that has individuals of different color, languages, and does not impose its citizens to speak only English. I have seen Americans attend other culture ceremonies with a smile, even though it might may sound weird or something new. For example Chelsea, Clinton's daughter played holi, a festival in India.

Of course Americans have a superiority complex - especially the people in the state of Ohio who think they're better than the rest of the world.

i am born and raised in the us...i don't feel the need to be superior to anyone..

We don't all think like that, unfortunately it's the type of people you met. Some of us Americans aren't that bad though. At least I don't think so. I don't believe we're superior or anything, heck we've got troubles like everyone else. We're young though and I think we have to realize that, many countries were here before us, such as Rome, England, Iraq, China, Japan and the list could go on and on. All coutries have made a huge contribution to history and invented some great things. We need to recognize that. Sorry, I'm getting a little annoyed with my country at the moment, yes I'm a full blown American who loves her country and supports the troops and everything, but somethings America does bugs me. Hope this gives you what you want, if not I'm sorry. God Bless!

Good people, good economics, good future......
But! the people at the top or complete morons :-)

follow the money.

I think you are correct in getting that attitude from some of my fellow Americans. Most of the people I know do not feel that way at all. I am sorry if you got a bad impression of our people. Why don't you travel to Alaska sometime? You will love the people.

butterflyspy

Yep its a man thing and when you get that impression from a woman in the USA she just trying to hide how stupid she feels because she is standing next to the man.Dont take us so seriously.Just as all French are not rude,all Mexicans are not lazy all Americans are not born feeling superior and we get tired of being misunderstood. Best wishes ,Happy travels.

kermit

kwb1965

The truth is that the majority of us Americans are a combination of conceited and ignorant.

dlobryan1

Yes, and just wait until we unveil the United States of The Earth.

Your perceptions reflex of what you have ask..aren't you consider yourself more superior ever or just macho for a Minute?
Well,if you believed that most invention are invented outside the States and shockingly sells like Hotcakes here then that defies the reality of American superiority.!
Welcome...to the U of S. A.....!!!!!$$$$$
