		<description>Wow, this article is so true. Most of the teenagers (read: 98%) think most of this at my school. They think the U.K. is a floating kingdom in the Atlantic somewhere, French people hate us, Russians are drunk commies, Finland is Nokia, Germans are white supremacists, Italy is full of good food and the mafia, and have no clue what Portugal is - one girl even asked if it was the capital of Canada. (!?) They also seem to think South America is basically the South (&quot;It&#039;s, like, Texas, right?&quot;) and the Caribbean is made up of Cuban smokers, broke Haitians with &quot;big bootys&quot;, and Jamacian druggies.

None of them can even tell you when we celebrate our independence, which is just sad. Sure, they know that D.C. isn&#039;t in the state of Washington and on the east coast, but some genuinely think that Hawaiians still live in grass huts (I didn&#039;t; I lived in apartments). Truth is, a lot of them are ignorant of their own country and can probably list just California, Nevada, Texas, Utah, and Alaska on a map. They think the land mass beneath &quot;Mexico&quot; (because Central America? &quot;Totally Mexico, yeah?&quot;) is Africa and the Middle East is somewhere in the middle of Asia. If you ask them, they&#039;d have no clue what Scandinavia is (&quot;It&#039;s like, by the boot thing, I think.&quot;) or where we&#039;ve been sending our troops for the last few years.

And they&#039;re supposed to be part of America&#039;s smartest generation? They all too obsessed with how skinny you are, how good you looks, and having Jansport backpacks to match all of their fifty pairs of Converse sneakers. I&#039;m sorry if this offends you, but this is my honest opinion, and the kids at my school? They haven&#039;t been proving me wrong yet.</description>

		<description>For all who knows nothing about us too, there is a short video made by our National Tourism portal (it means it is not objective view of whole reality, so you can also take it as a little advertising on my country :)

		<description>Nice. But there are 4.6m people in Ireland (6m on the island).

&lt;strong&gt;DailyCandor: Oops, dating myself. Didn&#039;t factor in the explosive growth over the last couple of decades. Duly amended.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>Im from Slovakia...there is a mention about us (unfortunatelly not in positive sence), but I dont see any mention about Switzerland or our neighbouring Austria... What is the opinion on those countries? Did you forget to mention them because they fits into the group of &quot;Countries compeletely ignored&quot; too?

&lt;strong&gt;DailyCandor: Yes, maybe. Depends on the person. If they&#039;re ignorant of all but the biggest countries in Europe, then CH, AT and SK will not register. Otherwise, the associations can be:
Switzerland: Heidi, Alps, cuckoo clocks
Austria: Germany
Slovakia: Czech Republic&#039;s little brother&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

		<description>I&#039;m English (British, whatever) and think all countries have their positives and negatives. There are things about my own country I don&#039;t like but there are things I do. Even though I was born in the UK, I don&#039;t identify narrowly by calling myself only &quot;English&quot; or &quot;British&quot;, I prefer to identify with Europe as I think all of Europe shares a lot in common even though there are often distinct differences between one country, one region and another. I also happen to like the US, Canada etc but equally I am critical of aspects (especially of the US).</description>

		<description>To who ever is still reading, or who may revise their opinions.... let me give you my opinion on this subject .

Firstly... we are all english! Im sorry, we all hate each other (a remarkably English trait) So lets just forget the geographic nonsense. You come from us... we gave you liberty and democracy and we sacrificed a thousands years to gain it.....so spare me the home of democracy *******s if you please! 

Coca cola, dr pepper and bill gates all come from english heritage... not to mention the computer was invented by the british so lets forget your industry and believe me... it is english oriented. 

People (Americans) go on about the revolution .... but why&gt;? They defeated less than 1/4 of the british expeditionary force ... listen i do not care for who has the biggest balls nonsense ... but seriously, the British forces were in china, africa and india, the smallest contingent were in america.... the land we thought was the least trouble. 

The fact is the british royal family have their hands in every pie.... look at all the magnates and oil barons... some where along the lines it&#039;s been british backing .... simply put the english own it all and the Americans are simply extensions of European banking clans likes the rothchilds***(spelling) ... every war has been planned and america has been needed

As for Americans being secluded ... well, they are ignorant, sure. Why fight it? Ive been to new york and florida... they are lovely people... compared to the people of london they are as happy as could be, but simply put this a nation you would not trust looking after  itself too! 

The people of europe, especially England, are about at least 4 hundred years more socialised then northern america! And i means that ... England is now 40+ atheist .... thats the biggest group when you take into consideration muslims, agnostics, jews and the rest. 

That is the social progress of hundreds f years worth of science, social and political reform... america can only begin to scratch the surface of this history. Its people do not know the meaning of struggle - england has been conquered numerous of times ... but we developed into the strongest nation in the history of the world... never again would we be conquered! But science developed and truth prevailed.... religion was a tool to control the fools of Europe... America is simply too young to understand it yet, but soon you will join the civilised and on that day we will all be doomed..... because then the west will probably attack the east. Good bye east, as an american special marine once said to me , &#039;&quot;don&#039;t go to war the English&quot;</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a london girl born and bred and have never been to American but I can name all of your states thank you very much. I don&#039;t think Americans are at all stupid but I think the whole war on terror thing has lost you a lot of sympathy in the UK, especially london. As someone mentioned before do you guys even know about what happened in london? The 7/7 bombings? And to those that are being so rude about Europe, grow up please. We&#039;re a lot more open-minded and liberal then you are and maybe you should take a leaf from our book and not be so quick to anger and going on about how we&#039;re &#039;cowards&#039;. We&#039;re all just people trying to get along and I would never call americans stupid because that in itself is blatently stupid! And lastly to that guy being racist, you&#039;re a fucking insect and if you came down to london with that attitude you&#039;d be in shit mate.</description>
