American tourists I've dealt with in NI and NZ are almost universally loud know-it-alls who seem intent on telling me why MY country sucks - sort of like going to your friend's house for supper and bitching about the décor. There are a few of us who don't act that way when a guest in another country. Want to know how to tell? We're the ones calling ourselves Canadian.

It's even simpler. You just don't notice most of us when we're visiting. Understandable. We look like you, we eat the same foods. Hell, we -are- you....(just, you know..better, more american versions of you).
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.  (May 10, 2016 at 12:00 pm)Rhythm Wrote: It's even simpler. You just don't notice most of us when we're visiting.

They understand my sign language. 
No God, No fear.

I live in the Buckle of the Bible Belt. My daily interactions with religion are practically zero. Americans say what they're expected to say, but when it comes to religion I can only believe they're lying their collective asses off.
