[QUOTE="Zenith, post: 968694, member: 21314"] For what it's worth, I think what gets to non-Americans is how Americans tend to go on about how great the USA is. To you it probably seems like most Europeans hate Americans, but that's really not the case at all. The one thing everybody I've talked to gives out about Americans for is arrogance. Not so much in the derogatory sense though. I have absolutely nothing against Americans, hell I hang out on mainly US forums every day, I'm coming over there on holidays this week and I regularily think about heading over to work the for a few years. But the whole "US is the greatest" attitude does get a bit irritating. America is not the "greatest" country in the world. Neither is Ireland, England, France, Germany.... Every country has it's issues and of the developed countries I really can't see one that is any better then the other. The problem is different attitudes; the American attitude tends towards bragging (no offence there, I'm just pointing it out as I see it), Europeans don't tend to do this as much from what I see. This difference in attitude is what causes all the friction IMHO; we get irritated hearing how the US is the greatest and greatest at everything (which inheritantly means Europe is worse) and you get annoyed when we come over as though we dislike everything to do with the US. I mean I think Ireland is a great place to live, but accept it has issues and is not really any better then anywhere else so won't go on about how great we are. pyro - Do you mean who invented these forums, the world wide web (British scientist at CERN in Europe), the Internet (USA), the screen, the computer, the transistor, discovered electricity, started using metal over stone? Don't think that's gonna prove much tbh... [/QUOTE]
