I don't consider myself rude but maybe I am only when I'm not aware of it. I was raised with an alcoholic family and a very sarcastic dad. So some sarcasm can be seen as rude. I see other ppl do it too, I don't if that has anything to do with being American......maybe.

Yes I think Americans are becoming rude but I also think you'll probably see rude people in walks of life.

I'm an American and I'm from Boston, but I'm not rude or obnoxious at all. No country around the world is perfect because each one has its own problems and both good and bad people.

That's a very "DUH" statement!

Most of the people encountered
are either yuppies or hipsters with bad attitudes.

2.Rush limbagugh
3.All republician polticians besides lincoln chaffe
4.Don caceri the governor of rhode island Yes I am american
The french are not that rude for couple of reasons
1.They had the right to critisize us on the blunder of the war in iraq
2.The reasons american's hate the french is because of the XYZ affiar from when john adams was president and when napolean and some of his children pulled some crap on us but why cant we forgive them. Yes I am of french descent but I am angry at government for what they did to the native americans. The puritain's were self rightous jerks who didn't tolerate others and abused the natives I am proud the roger williams left the purtain jerks to found rhode island before it went to hell in a handbasket we created seperation of church and state and were the first to ban slavery. If anyones rude i would say it the latinos at my school because the make fun of you because your fat even if its because your not anorexic. no I am a boy not a girl but you dont little gangster making fun of you because your overweight.the 2nd rudest people are those islamic fascits do they have to do this just because they can't tolerate our difference in culture.
