What I like about the US!

[Proletariat]

Wow. I've spent my last 24 years trying to remove all forms of American TV from my life (except for Red Sox baseball).

I'll swap any of you Euros all my TVs for any curry recipes you have laying about.

most of the people are really nice. Outside of the U.S.A. people say that American friendliness and helpfulness is all fake. It isn't. I really like home but it's so doom and gloom and F*** everybody but the U.S. seems to have a sense of hope. It's nice

The sense of optimism the place projects. Its misplaced, of course, but its refreshing.

Also people seem to be really polite compared to the UK. Even in Noo Yawk. (OK, they aren't REALLY polite in New York. But they are politer.)

The fact that Americans seem to have 25 hours in the day. Or anyway, however they manage it they seem to get more done than I could.

Outside of the U.S.A. people say that American friendliness and helpfulness is all fake.

This is a prejudice I also used to believe in when I was younger - however, I realized that this is only half of the truth.

IMHO, you might indeed see more "superficial" friendliness and friendship in the US than e.g. in Europe.
However, you get this "superficial" friendliness and friendship on top of the genuine friendliness, that you also have in ample amounts in the US.

Personally (and especially as a foreign visitor) I definitely prefer some "superficial" friendliness and helpfulness over receiving no help or unfriendly reactions
