OT: Eh. Could be better here. Parts of it could be a LOT better. But the people are the same as anywhere else, some nice some not. But I live here, so I don't count in this thread.
Oddly enough that's the only thing you won't get shot for over here.Mr.K. said:
We have a really high gun violence rate here.
As far as I can tell, it's not that high school history classes here in the US ignore Canada's contributions to WW2; rather the problem is that they just teach so little of the war that the only thing people learn is that the Nazis were involved and that Americans were fighting said Nazis. The rest of the average American's education on WW2 comes from movies and videogames.ToTaL LoLiGe said:
A cheeseburger-inhaling pack of overly political idiots who couldn't possibly agree on anything even when their country is facing the most dire consequences.
That's what I dislike about America; how their entire society from what is and isn't politically relevant still somehow relates to politics.
I'm convinced there's no race in the world that Americans hate more than other Americans. That's what I hate about the country; the aggressive lack of comradeship and brotherly love between 'political groups' who disagree with each other.
Republicans are idiots, Democrats are idiots, Conservatives are idiots, and Liberals are idiots... pretty much anyone who makes up their mind before they hear the issue is a fool.

I'm from America, and I like America. Kinda.
Actually to be honest with you, it sort of divides into which states are more chill. Here in AZ, you're scientifically more likely to find a douchebag than in most states.
But places like Vermont, where they tend to not really give a shit, they're pretty chill guys.
Just learn to avoid the opinionated states (generally the red ones), and it'll be smooth sailing.

You're far too religious. Other than that, meh.
Although I can never quite work out if you vote for retards because you actually want them in any position of power, or because they're rich enough to get there and you just feel you should vote for someone.
I mean really, I may not be a fan of the Conservatives over here, but they're a shining beacon of light compared to the supposed creme of the Republican crop.

You guys are the most brazenly patriotic nation I can think of. It's incredibly annoying. Then again I dislike any nationalism. We live in a world where I can chat daily with people living anywhere in the world, for the price of an internet connection. Countries are fast becoming obsolete concepts and everytime I hear "God bless America!" I cringe at the idea that there are still people who sincerely think like that.
Well I'm from Canada. Strictly speaking from a geographic stand point I think they're pretty cool guys, they make a nice chair.
Rich, successful, a powerful ally to have on your side, creator of many great things, but bat-shit crazy. The state of American politics is just . . . I'm simultaneously disgusted and slightly enthralled. It's more like a reality TV show than politics.
Oh, and a lot of your patriotism can come off as downright arrogant at times.

I think your looking to deeply in simple terminology that no American even considers. In other words I think your making something out of nothing. The United States of America is a mouthful shorting it to just American or the States seems logical enough to me.TheOmenCorpse said:
I don't think everybody there are idiots, but of course a lot do fit the stereotype. It's not the people that bother me much, it's the media, government, and public relations that are so bull***t. They overreact, exaggerate, make things more "interesting" for the people and make them believe whatever the companies want them to believe.
Finally and most importantly: As a Canadian, Chicken McNuggets are like, $10 for 6. In USA, it's $5 for 20 pieces.
So that's not fair

Would you rather they say "G-d curse America."? I don't understand your complaint. Do you not wish the best for your country? It really has little to do with patriotism, and is more just people wishing the best for the place they reside, which seems logical to me.Evilpigeon said:

Well, as stated by someone else: North and South America are together referred to as the "Americas."
Now as for calling the country America (instead of the US, or the States) I can agree that it's kind of weird, but the reason is obvious.
It's because you call people from the US 'Americans.' What else would you call them? Staters? United Statians? United States of Americans? Those all obviously sound retarded.
So you get Americans, and therefore obviously it becomes easy to say they are from "America."
As a Canadian (who is himself from North America) I have no problem with them calling themselves Americans, and back on topic I generally have no problem with the USA.
Your news networks are annoying as hell (not just FOX, but pretty much all of them) and your politics are pretty ridiculous, but generally most Americans seem to be decent and surprisingly sincere people.

How many Americans do you have to meet before you can rationally make the claim that "MOST" fit the stereotype?
Not a chair a bed. 75% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the U.S-Canada border that strikes me as laying down not siting up.him over there said:
