1. Americans don't know where any country other than the US is.

2. Americans are blindly patriotic.

3. Americans wear Hawaiian shirts, Bermuda shorts, and sandals with socks.

4. Americans eat only hot dogs and hamburgers.

5. Americans put ketchup on all their food.

6. Americans are racists and oppress non-whites

7. America is a very repressive country with a lot of censorship.

8. Americans are Christian fundamentalists.

9. Americans are rich. Except for the non-whites, who are oppressed.

10. Americans are buth Puritanical and decadent.

11. Americans care only about material things and money.

12. Americans are all dull. Except for the blacks and Hispanics, who are vibrant and colorful.

13. Americans are uninterested in and ignorant about foreign countries.

14. America has no history or culture.

15. The contradictions implicit in American society will eventually bring it down. They hope.

16. Americans all carry guns. And frequently shoot up McDonalds with them.

17. American men are fat and have thick necks and very short hair.

18. American women are either cheerleader/Baywatch types (oh, if only it were true!) or fat badly dressed matrons.

19. Americans are naive, immature, and unsophisticated.

20. America is a very dangerous and violent country. Americans are dangerous and violent people. Criminals are always either Black or Hispanic because they're oppressed.

21.Americans only care about their own dead.

22.America is the new Rome, it just won't admit it.

23.America is too powerful for its own good.

24.Americans are drunk, wild, and rambounctious. (Really? Which continent is always having problems with soccer hooligans?)

25.Americans earn their wealth by traveling to third world countries and robbing the brown-skinned people blind.

26.Americans are greedy and don't give a sh*t about the rest of the world.

27.America is just like Germany circa 1938.

28.Americans only support Israel because of the "Jewish Lobby".

29.Americans are "simplistic" and "moral absolutists".

30.Americans are the neo-colonizers of the world.

31.Americans use the "you're just jealous" argument to deflect their problems.

32.America is controlled by a combination of the following: fundamentalist Christians, fundamentalists Jews, evil corporations, the arms industry, the oil companies, the porn industry (!), the drug companies, the mafia, and a bunch of racist, rich, Christian, white men.

The roads are paved with gold here in America.

America will give you welfare if you just get there illegally.

How can we all be so rich, and at the same time be like Germany in 1938?

America has so much food and money that if they would only share equally, the rest of the world would be gorging themselves and living like millionaires. Americans can feed and pay for the WHOLE world.

27.America is just like Germany circa 1938.

28.Americans only support Israel because of the "Jewish Lobby".

But if America is partly controlled by Jews and their lobby, how can we also be like Hitler's Germany AFTER the Nuremberg Laws were passed? Lemme see, in 1933, all Jews were prohibited from professions and businesses, and in 1935 the race laws were passed....(this is so confusing).

That mostly has to do with the American "militarism" some of the world sees post 9/11. I read a Guardian column a few months ago comparing the atmosphere to the Nuremberg rallies.

Most of these arguments are blindly ignorant, hateful, and fall flat on their face.

The one that took me the most was the "Christian Fundamentalist comment", as though there is something wrong with being a Christian. I'm a Christian, and I'm thankful that I have Jesus in my heart.
