If you think about the vast number of television programmes that spew forth
from America and pollute the rest of the world.. then it isn't that suprising
that people have this opinion. Almost every other idiot on television is an
American, same for selfish, mean and loud. I propose that if American TV
featured more intelligent, hard working Americans then the rest of the worlds
population would think that of them too. Unfortunately that doesn't make good
television.

And the possibility of the fact that Americans are, generally, the same as
everyone else doesn't appeal to either side that much. As it's much more fun • to
believe otherwise!

revelation!  :-)
