I'd love to go there. And generally I'm a fan

And I disagree with arista - but I fear I'm in the minority who agreed with the invasion of Iraq.

And I don't understand the hatred towards companies like Starbucks - I can understand from the point of view of an independent coffee-store owner, but as an independent customer although the choice of outlet is depleted, the quality of the dominant outlet is (in my experience) great, so there's no problem.

Dont mind the country in particular, but their government is terrible, and they are way too paranoid about another 911.

Also, I don't like the way that LA force people to look perfect.

I'd like to live there, and go on holiday there.
It seems like a great place, like having low insurance costs etc.

But there are many things that put me off.

I find americans in general really arrogant and they think they're the best at everything when they're not

when i saw some in paris they were like "is this laaaaike sitee hawwalllll?" :|

this is general of course, there are some lovely ones like rory.

Most Americans are very cocky and they do think that they are the best at everything.

I'd love to go there, I really want to go to New York.
But I realised I'd hate to eat there, it would make me ill. My mum made meatloaf once, never having that again!

I like the place, I've been to San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas, LA & Orlando and all of those places were nice. I really want to go to New York next year. I think the people are pretty arrogant and they stereotype loads, then again when you go, most people are really friendly. And they say "your welcome" ****k loads.

not my favourite country in the world.... thats an understatement actually :s

the accents annoy me... the ugliest accents are american imo. (probably get slated for that but hey im entitled to my opinion )

been to NY and NJ, didnt enjoy either. the majority of the people there were rude and arrogant. not tarring all american people with the same brush but wasnt a nice trip to say the least.

oh and it annoys me when they take shows like big brother and im a celebrity. they cant leave anything alone >.<

edit: forgot to mention internet wars xD (sad i know...) but when you end up getting into an online argument and that person turns out to be american thats it. the stereotyping starts. "oh you live in england... go drink some tea and see a dentist! hahah" oh shut up you turd >.< 9 times out of 10 theyll start reeling off the sh!t about the war too... bla bla heard it all before.

You know, I actually love living here and it's the best place in the world, I wouldn't ever want to leave and go anywhere else. It's like a dream at times and it's just utterly amazing.
