The English wit is much more rapier sharp than American wit, IMO. I've found that the only AMerican counterpart to English sarcasm is Southern women; they can slice you to the bone with a smile on their faces, and you don't even feel it for the first several minutes.
And by the way, I keep seeing that several American members simply cannot hold their tongues and feel they must reply on the defensive to what's being said.
The purpose of this post was to hear what non-Americans think about Americans they've met, NOT to debate the merit of thier opinions. I'm just curious, that's all.
