LMAO! That's scarry ship!
America is NOT the USA.
The USA is NOT America.
America is inclusive of all the land amassed in the western hemisphere from the north to the south, Canada to Chile, along with a few islands along those coasts.
I don't know what the OP was referencing.
Specifics/details are important for clarification of the subject matter being discussed.
I have lived in America my whole life. I have been ashamed of that anytime I see someone defend being a stereotype "murican" for almost as long. Yup.
And Canada is part of AMERICA.
DUH!!!!
Labels are labels, why people get so snitty over other people's - I have no idea.
Don't sweat the small stuff.

Don't worry, Borat will return to the US and A and then he will probably shoot more than the Red Indians.
This time I think he shoot all the Evil knitwits with Great Success.
hopefully you are first
My best friend is American. We have awesome debates at his cabin (cottage for canadians). But honestly, I haven't *ever run across a stereotypical "murican". And I travel a lot. Much more than most. I've met Americans everywhere from California (coachella & desert trip) to NYC. Central and South America and across Asia. Nothing but good vibes and friendly people, and certainly welcoming.
One even thanked me for taking in all the people redirected to Newfoundland during 9/11 when air space was closed. I said "I don't live...." "Doesn't matter. Thank you anyway." That's the America I've experienced.
Trump is right about one thing. The media is evil. They want to outdo each other with terrible stories just to make more money.
I spent 4 months working in the States in the late 90s and I agree. What struck me was how friendly and polite people were. I'm not sure if that's because I was Australian but that was my impression. I never came across the stereotypical "idiot American" either. I had nothing but positive experiences. People were friendly, open and genuinely interested in Australia. I would live there without a second thought. Except the weather sucks.It's not all chips and beer here though. We have the ignorant here too and sometimes they end up running the country.

Try telling Americans the truth about their government, their religion, or anything really, and see how long it takes until they hate you and avoid you, or viciously lash out at you in a rage.
Sounds like you've been hanging out with the more intellectual type, not the common run of the mill rabble on the street. Lots of arrogant, selfish assholes in this country.
America is a big country that is very diverse. If you surround your self with people in Backwad Mississippi you will get a much different experience then say.. Berkley California. Ignorance is usually lack of culture.
One big negative in the US is much of the population still believes government propaganda. Merica is "Freedom" consume more, work harder. Same garbage as all other governments just a different flavor. As long as people have a comfortable armchair and a TV they will usually stay in that level of ignorance.
I have met tons of Europeans that have some good culture but they are just as brainwashed by the state of the world and their own government. Same crap- Our country is the most "advanced" "enlightened" ect. Their problem is they have nothing to back it besides bb guns and bread sticks.
Currently or historically?
If we're talking about the past, anybody that gives Sam any hell deserves to be dry for the next few years.
Anybody who disagrees with Nevil should suffer the same!
If it weren't for these two guys, modern day varieties would be much much different, I presume.
I'm not in the US and A.
Not remember Vietnam , Somalia ? Currently Afghanistan .
