Is America culturally arrogant?

The what??? is worth more than the dollar

I think he means the Euro.

The pound is worth more right now too.

There are a lot of great things about the US, I think the issue for a lot of countries is that there does seem to be quite a bit of ignorance about other countries.

For example, that Germany still uses deutschmarks.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

~ John Stewart Mill

There are many different ways to fight something than just pointing a gun at it. Take the war on terror..........he who has the most brains is going to win that one. The U.S could come out that we've developed stars wars AT-AT walkers...........they won't help us win.

More importantly.. does it matter??

And if we are so culturally ignorant.. why does everyone else try and copy us?

When it comes down to it every 1st world country are very similar, sure there are differences like languages and some general social beliefs, but the similarities that run throughtout far outway the first.

In every country there is rich, poor, ignorant, inteligent, arrogant. More importantly every person in different country picks up ''stereo types" (beliefs, fashion, history w/e) from other countries. For example, some from Europe might run around with there six shooter cap guns at 5 and act like an American cowboy, or any country men likes Russian Models, or enjoying British Tea. The list goes on forever.

Do most Americans, Canadians, British etc agree with everything there Government does? Do all Americans have the same social beliefs as one another? No.

There are big Government differences but were all alike more then some would like to believe.

Anywho, I don't care were someone comes from or judge there country by it, the person and who he/she represents is what matters most.
