I have a homework assignment of what are 15 things other countries think of the U.S. I was hoping some of you guys might be able to help me out.

Canada [Least what i hear and say]- Warmongers to the south.

****inger burgerboys.

Oh wait..*looks outside and sees American flag*

Things I think of are NASCAR and obesity

Not likely.

I see them as people just like us, cept with some crazy soccer moms here and there.

When I think of America, I think of awesome.

And also pwnage.

And maybe cow-based products.

But mostly just awesome.

Freedom... I have more freedom here than back in the middle east and India anyway :p.

America:

War

Terrorists

Bush

Backwards

Team America

Jews

Christians

FBI

Slow decent into Facist Empire

odd that its all symbols of what made this nation great, even though i have little faith in the voters anymore. DONT VOTE FOR STUPID! VOTE YES ON SCHOOL LEVYS!

I think ENTERTAINMENT. I think stupid laws and bureaucrats wielding actual power. I also think it's good I'm not there. And that's considering that a riot squad was shooting tear gas grenades in our general direction yesterday. So yeah.

Oh, I also think Subway sandwiches and Pizza Hut. And McDonalds, but that's filthy.

[Canada]

Our backwards cousins.

Snow? Snow! Snow.

**** Yeah!

Apple Pie!

Well, if you're asking merely of the word 'America', the first thing that comes to mind is a geographic map of the Western Hemisphere. (Blame me for liking geographic maps.)

When I think of the country that we for some reason call "America".. (I've lived here twenty-five years and I STILL don't understand that.) the first things I think of are:

Wisconsin

Home

My Parents' Farm

Hills

Trees

Autumn

Apples


There's your stream of consciousness for you, lad.


EDIT:

Good god, did I even read what you said in the post? Well, read, yes. Comprehended completely, no. Oops.

But if it's of interest- back in high school, we asked a German exchange student what the general image of a United States resident was to most Germans. She said: "A big fat guy with a hamburger and a big car."

Arrogance

Some old phrase, which went something like this:



Oh how much you show the world how much of that dog you really are.

That and an advancement to the rest of the world by 60 years.

Not to forget:

Hmm...

The map.
Large country with an even larger economy and yet an even larger military.
Fast food.
Big cars and cheap fuel to support them.
Bush.
Governator.
Movies.

That idiot President Bush. (well, the way he speaks he sounds like an idiot anyway).
Fast food.
High School shootings.
Racism.
Patriotism taken to the point that it's basically it's own religion.
TV.
