So, I was in a foreign country once, when I sought to buy from one of their markets. I did not understand their currency exchange, so I pulled out a five dollar bill to hand to them.
The guy appeared to know absolutely no English but was well equipted to insult my American heritage. As soon as I showed him the five, he shook his head and said:
Green!! Go!!

Americans are hated in many places of the world. Should not be a surprise, but you are just learning it now. No wonder is it?

Fester,
I can't speak about the personality traits and behaviors displayed in other countries, because I don't really know. However, their's so much arrogance, selfishness, laziness and pride by many people in this country promoting the concept " Were better than everyone else." I don't believe so. We have some Foreigners that work at DSM(my employment) and most are from the Netherlands and all of them are hard working and polite. Anyway, it's just my opinion, All is of God and Humans are mostly Carnal, except God's Elect.
Kind Regards, Samson.

Eh.. i sort of disagree. I don't think we as americans promote this idea that we are better than everyone else, but rather people project this idea onto everything we do because we as a nation are very advanced, wealthy and powerful. I don't think we boast about it, it's just out their because thats something you can't hide now a days. Also i don't think theirs anything wrong with a little pride in your country. I absolutely love america and i don't every want to live anywhere else. Well unless we are turned into a completely socialist country like what seems to be going on right now with our current president and universal health care and yada yada yada. However, that still remains to happen, so for now i am extremely happy with our country and proud to be an american and not because i think we are better than everyone else but because i love this way of life that we enjoy. Also, i love the tremendous amount of diversity that exists in places like california where i am from and i love the ability of being able to move across the country and end up in an area completely different then the one i currently live in! Without ever having to leave this country or travel half way across the planet. Thats awesome!
God bless america! :P
