    For Americans:

    How do you, generally speaking, see Europe?

    For Europeans: How do you generally speaking, see America?

    Sorry that I do not include other continents. It would make it a very complicated question to ask.

    I am an American, and I see Europe as just another continent. The way their political systems are run are usually different from the US’, but day-to-day life is most likely similar to America. For example, as much as they like to differ, I’d assume that living in the UK would be much like living in New England in America. They both have a very alike culture.

    If my experience has taught me anything, it’s that most Europeans see Americans as rude, uneducated, illiterate, facist, fat, idiots. However, claiming this is true would be denying that Europe has just as many people like this. Not all of us eat fast food, I for one never do. Not all of us oppose the metric system, the majority support it. Not all of us are uneducated, just the ones you hear about on the news (who wants to hear “Well Read American Lives Productively” when you can hear “American Sets Fire to Koran”)?

    But I digress, America and Europe very similar, even if we don’t want to admit it.

    I’m a european (Swede), I’ve traveled the world and I have to say:
    Europe is a continent, America consists of two: North- and South-America.
    Now, I think you talk about the US when you claim that “America is very similar to Europe”. It isn’t.
    It used to be, but nowadays no country in Europe is close to the extreme society that the US has turned into.
    US today is more comparable to, for instance, Romania. An former communist state that just recently became a democracy. Fairly prosperous cities with ghettos, less prosperous countryside with downright poor areas. The difference is that Romania has a positive trend. They come from an even poorer place, aiming to be a normal European country. The US is declining.
    Canada, on the other hand, is a country in America that is very similar to most countries in Europe. Especially the scandinavian countries.

    I am a european, I love many aspects of american culture (McDonalds and Movies from The USA), but I hate the way (some) americans think about the rest of the world. It’s ok to be a nationalist, but dont speak shit about other countries that you really dont know a shit about.

    As foreigners traveling through the United States occasionally note, the phrases “we are the best” and “America is No.1″ are often uttered with deep conviction by citizens who have never set foot outside their country and therefore lack a direct way of comparison. (They are in the majority: only one in five Americans has a passport).

    But The USA is not best at everything.

    I can see america is the no 1 superpower, and that is good beacuse day-to-day life is most likely similar to America here in Europe.
    Wouldn’t be if Russia were in US’s place. So I hope USA will stay there (as number 1), or Europe to go there instead of china.

    USA may look like the overall best country yes I can agreed to that, but they are not best at everything that’s what I ment.

    An example of what americans think of as obivious is that they are the country with most internet users per head, they are not. Many think they are the one with best standards of living. Many think they have the most nuclear heads, and pathetic individs of Americans write We will nuke your asses! But russia actually got more (I do not think that is not a good thing!!!)
    Just examples of Americans thinking they know things.
