The reality is quite different.
We found the average American to be a thoughtful, kind, and caring sort of bloke.
It was actually humbling that total strangers would go out of their way to make us feel welcome and to help in any way they could...something we just didn't expect.
You're an amazing bunch of people; and I'm very pleased to have met you.
Thank-you.
So well said and so true thank you John. Sadly that is /was my thoughts of America and it's people until I found this site and became friends with so many of you people. We seem to get only what the gossiped magazines tell us and that is mostly how screwed up the rich and so called famous people are resulting in me tarring everybody with the same brush,sorry..
