when i first moved to the USA, the strange thing to me was serving mushed potatoes with a side of bread... how could i eat that? you choose to eat one in PL, not both, for dinner...
and also, serving potatoes for breakfast (hashbrowns-i love it!)...
:)

You can see the impact of those remarkable culinary habits on the ever expanding american waistline..Hope Poles will stick to eating herrings and meat without potatoes for breakfast!

Is it true that most Americans don´t know much about other cultures. I mean, those videos on youtube might have exaggerated the whole thing, but do Americans like learning new languages, or experiencing other cultures?

in every country most of the others don't know much about others cultures, so what?
Point is educated Americans seems to have less general knowledge then their average counterparts in Poland for example.
Does it really matters kid?

I would bet most Europeans have never been to Nth America, given it's size they have plenty to see over there.

Each state is some what different culture wise.

yeah, but the USA is a first world country, rich and developed. One would assume their education level is higher than that of a poorer country. Yet you have some articles like:

"37% of Americans can't locate the U.S on a world map - Are American schools failing?

Yes, you read the title correctly. An entire 37% of Americans cannot identify the United States on a world map. When asked to reveal the identity of the giant America-shaped landmass found on the map, several of those polled were decidedly varied in their answers. Some people guessed Iraq, others guessed Asia, while the majority agreed with one participant. Shirley Matheson, a part-time Arby's employee residing in Dayton, Ohio, said "I live in the U.S.A., so why would I need to know where America is? Or the United States for that matter?"

Do you think American schools are failing?"

I am sorry, but if THIRTY SEVEN percent of a country´s population can locate their country on a map, what can you expect fro mthe country?

She does have a point. Will knowing where the US is on a globe make her a better person?

98% of the worlds population believe everything they read, even if it is blatant satire.

For what it's worth, there are massive hordes of idiots everywhere you go.

The most extravagant was an american girl who came to Greece for some business by a company in New York and she told me how surpised she was to find that the rumours about Europeans being blond,tall and skinny were not true when she came to Greece.
I found very hard to convince here that people in northern Europe look much different and maybe fit the stereotype.She told me:But here is Europe.

That's the problem. That's why it's so easy for a demogog to sway the Sheeple (like Harry) into believing anything - even hate.
