If truth be told, generally, Americans and Europeans do not think each other are arrogant. Look at the communities that each side has speaking for each other. A group of computer nubs who probably never travel outside of thier own city area. And when they do travel, they don't do anything to explore that places culture. Going to see sites, and taking pictures is not learning a culture. To learn America, you need to actually get your ass whipped and have a midget frisk your pockets, to be able to pass any judgement.

Europe is somewhat different from America. Its a far more 'cultured' society and outdoor walking love life dont stress so much culture.
(just look at the italians..)
As for Britain i disagree. Britain and America are more alike than most would like to admit. We enjoy precisely the same freedoms. We are protected by laws. Our government is elected. Our work ethic is somewhat the same. We too enjoy capitalism.
Maybe europe is different (not by much) but Britain is not and most of the 'flak' from people on thise forum seems to stem from British folk....
