I wanted to revive this thread in the hopes that I could still learn something. Plus, a lot of new members have signed on at TFP and haven't had a shot at this.

Here are the rules:
1) This thread is intended to gain the opinions of non-Americans. If you are an American and can't stand to hear generalizations about Americans, then look at the top-left of your screen and hit the BACK button, please.
2) This thread is intended to gather generalizations. I WANT to hear stereotypes that non-Americans have for Americans they've met. Don't censor yourself, please.
3) Mods, please allow unsavory nationalistic comments from non-Americans. The usual rules should apply to personal attacks of forum members, but I would like to offer immunity for cultural/nationalistic comments that may be difficult to hear.
4) Respondents, please refrain from making this into a political policy debate. I'm not interested in what you think about George Bush or Global Warming, because I see your opinions on those issues every day on CNN. I want to know your opinions on personal encounters with individual Americans.
5) Americans, RESTRAIN YOURSELVES from being defensive about what may be said. This thread is not intended for thin-skins. I want to learn something here.

Thanks.
