The_Kansan: FYI - It would seem that the powers that be equate our States with your countries as there IS not a specific "American forum" but only individual "State" forums, most of which are pretty dull.


Agreed...

Well... The internet is not supposedly to disaggregate people... Actually, a lot of people like me don`t care about styles and cultures.

We, from latin america, learn a lot of good (and very bad) things with americans and europeans...

The cultural differences exists to teach, not to disaggregate.

Dawn7z: Not all of us live in homes with lots of space or drive huge automobiles.
We are interdependent on each other here as well although there is a bit of independence.
We learn only what we are interested in sorry but not so we study and are interested in just as many things as Europeans. Obviously in spite of your visit you haven't hung around with a diverse group of Americans.
We enjoy our foods too and savor them.
Yes we are open I love that about us.
We are not surface maybe some but I am sure there are Europeans like this also. There are many of us who are genuine no matter where we go and have respect for all types of people and are actually a bit educated.
Can't you tell being on the forums there there are all "types" of Americans. When people put others in a box they miss out.


I just wrote my opinion and made cooperation, nothing else.

And I met enough Americans to make that conclusion.

I didn’t say anything worst or good, just my subjective opinion
