If you want to hear anti-American stereotypes, you should hear my brother rant sometimes - he had very bad experiences with the American school system and some of his classmates.

Kaz, where do you get off generalizing on americans like that? You
probably think there are more americans that think like that? What kind of statement is that? Have you been to America, do have American friends? Has any single American on this forum
ever gave the impression that the US is the best and that Americans are high and mighty? I certainly haven't. I cannot say if there are more Americans then say, Germans that say they are better then the rest, b/c I have never been to Germany. I have met a few Germans though...are you suggesting I make judgement of all Germans based on the thoughts and attitudes of the few that I have met? And so what if you brother had a bad experience in an American school, that is too bad and I'm sorry it had to happen to him, but do not judge all of America b/c of a lousy experience at one school.
Anymore American bashing and I will leave this forum for good! I can tolerate jokes, but out-right bashing is intolerable and I can find a better place to spend my time!
