Europeans ONLY - state what country you're from or in - what do you HONESTLY think of Americans?

[Anonymous]

Keep in mind being European who has lived in America it's easy to identify American trolls pretending to be European in this question. Because ah... well... I'll explain when I call out those trolls.

They're Ignorant

They're Uneducated

They're Rude

They're Overly Defensive / Easily Offended

They're Arrogant

Something else unsavoury.

The one's I meet in real life that come here as tourists just seem normal people. But when I see Americans on tv, the news or on sites like this it seems the lunatics have taken over the asylum.
When we think of Americans, we don't think of your scientists, philosophers, artists etc, we picture a crazed, hate filled gun toting conspiracy theorist waving a big flag.
I'm sure American is a great country but you display the trash too much.

UK (England), They're often stuck up and ignorant. There are two main factions. The Republicans are cool, but they can get insensitive and preachy. The Democrats are just crazy fools. Also, Americans, know little about the outside world.
