Not much different than similar behavior by all too many of my fellow Americans.

If we call someone who speaks two Languages
bi-lingual

And we call someone who speaks three Languages
tri-lingual

What do you call someone who speaks one language?
(american)

Its a joke. Really. Might not be one told in your circles but its a fairly common joke Im told.
Want to hear a good "white guy" joke?

A sad, but too true one.

Top 5 most arrogant nations, more or less in order from worst down:

1. United States
2. France
3. Japan
4. UK
5. China

I won't endeavor to actually attempt to score any of these. They just happen to be the most guilty. I (briefly) debated Germany in place of China, but China really deserves to be on the short list for a number of reasons, including lengthy historical ones.

Excuse me, so much for staying on my own topic. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/icon04.gif[/img]

A little less nation bashing, please. Even if it is your own nation, 'flaming' a whole nation, off topic, on a public forum is not likely to provoke anything but another flame.

Actually, this isn't a public forum. It's a private forum (open to the public) owned and operated by a corporation. A public forum wouldn't have censorship, and public ones in the true spirit of the term 'public' don't have moderation, either.

But I do get your point.

wow thats interesting

and i really wonder why you didn't put germany on a high position like 2 or 3 at least .
first we have our history . germany was probably the most arrogant nation from 1870-1945 .
second we are known as very unpopular tourists .
mallorca + ballermann are just 2 catchwords .
the italian president berlusconi has said that even in public .
he has a point there .

in most european countries we germans fight with the brits for the "honor" of being the most disliked tourists

with china i wonder what historic issues you mean .
if you wrote soviet russia because of the cold war i would understand
so plz enlighten me for entertainment

japan surprises me too .
i love japanese + chinese food . the chinese / japanese in the german japanese/chinese restaurants are all very friendly , much more friendly than in a restaurant owned by germans .
japan is just cool imo . probably the most techliking nation in the whole world
oh and i love chinese/japanese action movie films .

japanese rpgs are very cool like final fantasy series or grandia 2 . the characters look so cute and the gameplay behind it is as good as e.g. baldurs gate
