Post; Americans think Europeans are just.....


Alright I know I'm maybe going too far in posting polls. If so just stop me.
I thought it mite be interesting to know how Americans see Europeans.
So please only americans vote here.
Everybody's welcome to post his/her opinion.
I'm not voting either since I'm not American.

P.S. I believe the way Israelis view Europe is way harsher than the way Americans do. Correct me if I'm wrong Sherman.

VOTE VOTE VOTE !!!!!!!

It's kind of hard to vote here, Italian, there are a few too many countries in Europe to generalize them.

True, i dont even know how many countries are even in Europe. Also i have never visited any of them, even though i want to, so i cant give u an opinion because i dont have one.

When I was in Italy most of the Americans said: Europe is some countries ok and some others no good.

Well I know one cant have an experienced point of view on every country in Europe- I dont even have it myself. But that would be interesting in the sense that an opinion would reflect what's being said in the US. Or is Europe so much ignored in the States ? We always talk about the US you guys dont talk about Europe ?

If it's so many countries and hard to tell then I guess you guys Darkmb and RedNeck should give your vote to the some ok and some others no good option.

I can't speak on how Ameicans tend to feel or think about Europe and Europeans in general, but I can say how most seem to think about the Irish. When I first came to the states, everyone assumed I would talk like that horrid Lucky Charms character, drank morning, noon and night, only ate potatoes and spent my quiet time in a mud house surrounded by my farm animals. They all figured I must have been a member of the IRA at least at some point in my life and that I had a deep quelling hatred for the British. Many also considered me to be naive and somewhat dumb. It is truly amazing I stayed.

Now you're telling me how to vote, too? Dang, pretty soon I won't ever have to think for myself again.

Anyway, I got nothing against any country in Europe, I may not think too highly of some of them because they don't do what I want them to, but that's not exactly my place (telling countries what to do that is ), but I can't say as I think of them as "bad."
