It's true, I think alot of people in America take themselves way too seriously. Actually I would imagine there was a concentration of them at SXSW.

some americans i've met take theirselfs too serious. and they are mostly blessed with a terrible loud voice. but brilliant salesmen. and their customer care is very well.

America was founded by people from all other parts of the world in search of a better life. Those left behind are still bitter today. So you talk about us like we're evil and different when we all still have family and friends from the places we started at.

hmmm, I wonder if their government and media are fostering a bit of a siege mentality in people over there, that might explain that...

(Mar 24 06, 06:46)it's true kelpie. CONSTANT hype on the telly which is always on. so many RULES and if you break them you get a slap. you either have to be clever enough to get round the rules and appear to be still smiling or else just turn off and obey.

There really is no difference between any of us. You just are on some ego trip and I suppose it makes you feel better about your lously life by talking down about another.

I am not on the wind up here mate, ok, just responding:
There really is no difference between any of us.
[you're quite right, though there are definately cultural differences which show up in attitudes and believes. its just the details though, it doesn't condemn anyone]
You just are on some ego trip and I suppose it makes you feel better about your lously life by talking down about another.
[and this is where you end up making no friends, making yourself look like a dick, and fullfilling your own preconceptions about us, not to mention giving the rest of you a bad name - what positive thing do you hope to achieve by saying shit like that? please, I'm interested]

americans take themselves way too serious.
but at least they don't stink like the French.
CUZ MY GOD!!! DO THE FRENCH STINK!!!! AAAARRRGGH!!!

actually Question is totally right, there's no difference between us!
just small cultural differences! you guys do have way better lives than us, no doubt. and we are all depressed over here and so we bitch, it's totally true. i'm not being sarcastic.
so we make jokes about it and celebrate our self-loathing. we're all pretty self-depreciating whereas you guys aren't and don't like negativity and that's where communication falls down.
