How do you view American people in general? Do they have to support America's economic system...capitalism for the most part? And should they respect or at LEAST ignore different races (lifestyles, etc.)if they don't like them... to give them a right to their peace of mind and so they can do what they like without being bothered?

All of the above and God bless them all.
American people...Ignorant of the world around them,self centered,arrogant,overfed and poorly educated.Otherwise,just fine.
RayfromUSA: People are people, no real difference.
But cultures have a life and habits of their own.
And the US culture is exceptionally arrogant and self-righteous, leading to all sorts of horrors.
Why do you feel the need to Bash Americans and our culture every chance you get ....don't you think it is getting a bit worn out by now...along with all the other bashing .... Sometimes Ray I think you and a few others just need a good hug ....

jessejess47: This post whould show to me that you seem to be all of the above things you say Americans are ...calling the kettle black there a bit I would say
Oh sorry,perhaps it should be an Americans only poll. Did I say arrogant and poorly educated?

That could also be us Brits in a very slightly different light (We STILL think we have an empire). The iranians today, or the Fijiians in 300 yrs time. It's called being human - not 'American'

As a Brit,do you really compare yourself to Americans?

Sure - In MANY ways - The USA 'decended' from us (and others - sure) - were controlled by us and have and amended form of our 'belief' structure.
We have had centuries longer than they, to lose our arrogance and, as the foremost power in the world not THAT long ago, influenced wither by education or the edge of a sword, many 'savage' races. We habven't lost that arrogance, our voice has simply become quieter.
We were rich, influential and whilst disliked, could NOT be ignored by our contempories.
USA is a 'baby' still, yet has grown very quickly. TOO quickly, some would say. As a nation it is still learning.
Of course I would compare us! Within this world, each country thinks it is right. Within each country cities are in competition Even in one street you will have factions.
Wer are genetically tribal - just nowadays we call the tribes USA,UK, PAPUA NEW GUINIA or IRAN.

Yes,we're both aware of England's colonial history and the fact that England essentially spawned the U.S.,albeit the difficult birth of an ultimately disobedient(and perhaps more) child.
Being Canadian,I'm from the Commonwealth,and it was the Union Jack that hung on the wall of my school as a child,along with a picture of the H.M.the Queen.But that was the past,wasn't it.As we too become independant by a different road.
The sun HAS set on the British empire and has dawned elsewhere,but the world has also,and,has all so,changed.Are we responsible for that change?Collectively,yes and if we allow ourselves to be dominated by the new powers,then our future is uncertain.
cristina: We here on this thread. Opposing to your suggestion. That is, your comment was as if you were correcting a misunderstanding inhere, right?
I was offering Clarification.Are you opposing me Cristina?I've had gf's from S.A. and they never opposed me..well perhaps a little. But ultimately,they would see the wisdom in my words.
