oh and i have a very good American friend who laughs about the typical American stereotype of being fat, dumb and loud-mouthed, because he knows several who live up to it extremely well :lol: he doesn't though.

general stereotyping by country amuses the hell out of me, especially when people get offended by it..

i don't mind people assuming that i'm a tea guzzling, stiff upper lipped, sexually repressed twit :lol: because i know i'm not, but i laugh at lot at people who are :twisted:
