Thats your problem my friend when you take drugs and alcohol.... have a good nights rest and when you wake take a hard look at yourself. America is a great country, you my friend are a dreamer in fact a nobody, its easy to dream and make out to be somebody you are not.... come out and admit this, you will feel better.

I think he made quite clear what he thinks, and its no different to the majority of the world and probably a vary large part of American's themselves think. Some American worship and take pride in their ignorance and stupidity and if you aren't stupid maybe America is not the place to be.

In what way? Americans are world wide renowned for their stupidity. Look who you elect as politicians, hiding any sign of intelligence is a prerequisite to getting elected.

Being thick as ******* is political gold.

Comments like that usually come from the faux educated crowd who like to follow the herd. Bashing Americans is quite trendy. Short man complex must be a real bitch though.

But the perception remains, convex. Yes, many are intelligent but it doesn't change the traditional stereotype.

Maybe you're younger and that's the reason? When I was reading his story a scene from Easy Rider appeared in front of my eyes.


I have lived in America for 86 yrs, and I never witnessed anything like what he is describing.. It sounds like a lot of BS to me

F stop, it wasn't an attack on America. It was a statement of a widely held perception.

is that why you call yourself Sean US? No smart person in the world would generalize about anything to begin with. A widely held perception created by a whole bunch of thoughtless morons, that's all it is and what's funny about it, mostly people who have never even visited this country like yourself Seanus.

Generalising is wrong, yes. I didn't say I believed it and that's the mistake you are making. It doesn't change the fact that many see a lot of Americans as being dim-witted folk. Some are smart, some are dumb. The same as in every country.

I think that largely depends on what your interests are. If they a limited to watching reality shows, MTV and Fox news, then you get what you ask for. Not really true if you're into science and technology, for example.
But, I should have stayed out of it, I just hate generalizations like that. It implies that everyone in America is stupid, so it says more about those that think so.

If you want to know more about the OP, check out the basic information on his facebook page:

All his neighbours are evil, his family, cops, EVERYONE around him. They have all disappointed him, except the Lord. Unless he puts on a mohair beret, he will not have it better in Poland.

Exactly.

I'm of the opinion that nothing in Europe compares to Ivy League schools for a start.

Well guys, I'm an American woman born in Gdańsk, Poland - my parents immigrated to the US when I was 7, so all I really know is American culture. I live in the Kansas City, Missouri area and hate it for it's climate, not for the in-bred and welfare-raised morons living in the surrounding small towns - and we have to live here because this is where my husband's job is.

I empathize with you chreese, but I seriously doubt that you'll like Poland any better. My husband and I invested heavily in a brand new condo in Ggańsk in 2006 thinking that we'll retire there (we're looking at Italy now and considering selling in Poland). My husband's family has lived in the states for 200+ years, and the family has traced it's roots to Scotland and Britain; my husband finds most Polish people cold, uncooperative, rude, and in some cases horribly dishonest. Gee, sounds just like Americans to me!!!

I've learned the hard way that no place on earth will ever meet your ideal expectations. Stupidity knows no borders. And, chances are, that you nor I are very high on the local's list of ideal citizens either - maybe we're just snobs? Choose a place with the most ideal job oportunity and suitable climate not it's locals.
