Your first sentence above is spectacular for its broad ranging simplicity and simply wrong One of the greatest things about America is its diversity and the consequential inability to generalise about Amerricans.
Clive, I lived in America, and went to school there. The largest group of my Facebook friends are those same American friends from years ago. I didn't pass through there. I didn't visit the place. I lived there. And that is my perspective of America, and my American friends. And those friends, are my truest friends. The bonds are stronger than any I've had in Canada, Grenada (except family), and the UK. I can only speak about my own experiences. I can't speak for the experiences of other people. At least in this, maybe you can say i am being fair.
