Thread Name: Americans
Subject: RE: Americans
America's cultural diversity is probably the main reason for America's position today. Our cultural diversity is greater than anywhere else in the world. So many people in this country have so many different ways of thinking of things. Coming up with solutions to problems is easy under such cinditions.

Americans as individuals are strange. We tend to ignore people until they establish themselves as being important to our little circle of things that we value. For some reason, we tend to wait to see what someone has to offer before accepting him/her into our lives. We are a very untrusting people.

I love America. I see nice people all the time here. I have noticed that I have to be nice and polite many times before recieving kindness in return. I used to think that was the way of the world. The internet has taught me differently.

Apparently, there are places in the world where I can go into a bar and order a beer, come back the next day, and they will not only remember what kind of beer I drink, but they'll remember my name. Not just because I told them my name, becaused they asked me my name. I'm through ranting.

American people are great, you've just got to get to know them first.
