Is anyone else tired of

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>people from other parts of the word looking down on Americans as idiots, thinking we are all arrogant *****, then turning around and coming to college here because we have the BEST academic institutions?</p>

<p>With respect given to the Cambridges, Oxfords, etc.</p>

<p>People from other countries should know that not all of us are like what is portrayed on TV.</p>

2

<p>…no…</p>

3

<p>Actually, the more common stereotype is that we are fat, lazy, and greedy.</p>

<p>We’re also materialistic.</p>

4

<p>It gets pretty annoying. The average person that I know is neither stupid nor fat nor lazy. Unfortunately, the minority of loudmouthed tourists and hateful bigots who grab media attention are all the outside world sees of us.</p>

5

<p>^Well, unfortunately, you haven’t been introduced to 66% of Americans. Let’s face it, we eat too much Mcdonalds.</p>

6

<p>Yeah, I agree. Americans are fat (or at least fatter than other countries).</p>

<p>It’s because fast food is so cheap here. In other countries, McDonalds is more expensive.</p>

<p>Mmmm… that cheeseburger looks tasty!</p>

<p>Let me put it this way:</p>

<p>American teenagers as a whole are the stupidest, most rude, arrogant, and unmotivated kids in the entire world.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>As an international, that’s certainly the perception here although I try to dispel it.</p>

<p>^ is it me or did you just answer your own ***<em>ing question? *gasp</em></p>

<p>people like you annoy me. go away.</p>

<p>“American teenagers as a whole are the stupidest, most rude, arrogant, and unmotivated kids in the entire world.”</p>

<p>have u met the ‘whole of American teenagers’? uh, no. until then, keep your mouth shut.</p>

<p>@yoursky
How did that answer my question. Apparently it blocks the name of a common Athletic Dept store. </p>

<p>People who go out of their way to respond to a post and say, “you annoy me. go away”, annoy me. </p>

<p>I think teenagers are all similar (to a degree). No matter where they are from. </p>

<p>But we are indeed materialistic. Because who doesn’t like cool stuff?</p>

14

<p>i dont think the world’s perception of us is really that bad. When I moved over to England for 6 months I was afraid that same thing would happen and they would all judge me but at my school they actually LOVE the U.S. They think it, and its people, are amazing.</p>

15

<p>Lol, I play xbox a lot and all the british kids hate americans with a passion. I’m kinda fat, but they say everyone eats mcdonalds… lmfaoo.</p>

16

<p>

</p>

<p>Saugus’ point exactly.</p>

17

<p>Yes, I am tired of idiotic arrogant people who don’t bother to finish their sentence in the thread title.</p>

18

<p>Exactly how can one be tired of someones’ opinion? He may possibly have a psychological problem and I can refer to an excellent psychologist should it be necessary.</p>

<p>Should it want to be avoided, in the future, I would suggest the use of ignorance to repel such psychological attacks upon your thinking sphere.</p>

19

<p>^In that case, I would like to recommend you to a psychologist who treats arrogant psycho-analytical individuals.</p>

20

<p>^ Although I see no need to visit one, I will gladly take the recommendation should, in case, I or a friend need one in the nearby future. Thank you.</p>
