Oct 2013

And am an American citizen, but I was born in Italy and lived back and forth many years and with some time in Central America (which is why I am here).

It's almost hard to explain the difference in the media. It's just not so.... retarded.

What I mean by that is: There are many different slants on the news, but at least there is news and actual reporting. It's not all about Miley Cyrus or whatever.

As for obnoxious Americans. Of course I know them and I knew them in Italy. The truth though I think from the perspective of most Europeans is that the vast majority of Americans are very, very nice and pleasant people. When going to America they are extremely hospitable. But yes there is a small group that is obnoxious and gives the rest a bad name.
