Uagh. Seriously, USA, Seriously?

Things like this really enforce the USA stereotype that keeps floating around...

What's this "USA sterotype that keeps floating around", could you tell us what that is?

Ehhh. It'll sound really bad.

Basically the stereotype is about all the stupid things people of USA/Goverment do, how they are going bankrupt because of stupid wars, and no education and then generalizing that to the whole nation. It just makes all people look like Jesus-crazed rednecks who don't know how to write, are not aware of the difference between a country and a continent, like to shoot at helpless people for national pride and if/when they lose, make some "witty" comment about how they lost in soccer, but still bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Mostly the stereotype makes "fun" of the assumed stupidity.

You can read some of this in the comic http://satwcomic.com/sweden-denmark-and-norway . It makes fun of all scandinavian countries, as well, but not in a too... offensive way. I think Finland is ridiculous XD

I know... It's just that those mistakes keep popping up quite a lot. But never fear! it was a stereotype, not an opinion

All nations have their stereotypes about other nations I supposexD I have heard a few European ones myself as well as have a few Finnish ones, having spent a summer with some Finnish. Stereotypes will always happen. \o/

Well, it's getting better, I suppose. It's not like jobs aren'tt available, it's just people not wanting to do them/not finding them -__-
