Not really a gp2x topic but what the hell..
And therein lies the problem
I think the problem is to do with loud minorities and governments. Foreign gonvernement policies paint a picture of a country more than anything....look at lap dog blair. And also minorities who go abroad. For instance in the UK we have Chavs. I hate them they are everywhere. But in fact they are only a minority but they are loud and that makes the rest of us seem like that to everyone. Same as the I hate french topic. Everyone seems to think french eat frogs legs, etc. I dont even know if that's true.
Personally I dont know anyone who isn't English. For those in the US, I live in Devon in southwest England which is tradtionally a farming area. I don't know any europeans or any black, asians, etc. The only impression I get is from media which I do my best to ignore.
Only place I mixed with people was in August in Dublin. Loads of Europeans and Americans. Irish are a great laugh, so were the Norwegian chaps we got chatting with, totally wasted and hilarious. The loudest and the silliest (not in a good way) were I'm afraid to say the Americans in the bar. Think how the Spanish feel when Chavs invade the "Costa Del Sol".
But saying that the impression I get from US TV shows are that most Americans seem to hate America(US).....many episodes of the Simpsons to tell that...."U..S..A U..S..A", etc.
An just for the benefit of the US crowd I have perfect natural teeth, my partner, my kids, my parents. In fact no-one I know in my family has bad teeth.
