  • @Avenger1506 I would say that ethnocentric attitudes may come across on sources like Youtube, or it may serve to offend American tourists, but in reality--those attitudes wouldn't sail here. I have met many Europeans in NYC and they are usually impressed with the place. I met one French guy (not stereotyping) that had an attitude and he dropped it really fast. Ethnocentrism is, at its' core, stupid regardless of what side of the pond it originates.

  • @1105Chance Yeah i agree people over here in Europe do have a tendency to get very haughty and condescending very fast, when people from the US initially have a lot friendlier approach. Unfortunately a LOT of people mistake that for gullibility or naïvety (which it sometimes is, all things considered) and that's when people get bitter....

  • @Avenger1506 I think that last sentence could be said of everyone. Most Americans like Europeans because so many of us have European ancestry. Further, we are Western nations so we do share many cultural things in common. We are aware that the US is greatly maligned, we're a very easy target. It's my personal observation that Europeans tend to look down on Americans when in fact Americans would prefer to be friendly. It's easy for people to get stand-offish when denigrating stereotypes are made

  • @1105Chance personnally haven't seen much ofthe stuff he does so I'll take your word for the media whore.N yeah,french people are extremely biased concerning the US and pretty much the whole world,i never claimed the opposite.The typical frenchman is convinced france is the greatest country there ever was and ever will be, should be the standard in every domain,and believe they have a right to comment on everything.All i'm saying's some people in the US should learn to give credit where it's due

  • @boosra You are retarded and a self-admitted troll. We all type fast. You just type fast with no purpose other than try to upset people. Wow. What a life. Now dribble off somewhere. I am not going to feed the troll anymore than I already have.

  • @1105Chance

    lol, all my replies were written as one in 5 minutes, and you for some reason have laboriously replied to each one individually. Oh dear.

    Anyways, it was you who picked a fight with me, so I'm glad to have upset you.

    Bye

  • @boosra As for being a "mental patient", I think sadly, that you are projecting. Sorry but it's rather transparent given the essays you keep harping about below. I suppose you need to make yourself sound intelligent within your own mind to feel secure.

  • @boosra Are you incapable of ejaculating? IS that why you spend so much time on Youtube blathering on and on and on and on and on? Take a pill, have a wank, get a life, go find a clue...whatever...just bugger off because you are as BORING AS HELL!

  • @boosra bogus intellectual bore! blah blah blah

  • @boosra the embarrassing fixation is that you are spouting out a bunch of words and trying to put them in my mouth. I never said any of those things so I really do, at this point, consider you to be mentally unhinged.
