I don't think America has a monolopy on craziness. Lots of that all over the world. You just can't pick on one country.
I find America's wackiness very enertaining though. You can't take the world too seriously or you will go crazy.

another thing about US freaks is their evangelical zeal, they need to tell the world about it, even try and persuade everyone to join in. Why?

whereas say in Britain, which is chockers with eccentrics, the ideal is to go about your nuttiness privately without anyone bothering you or you anyone else. We're a bit like the Brits with our eccentrics - they can do whatever as long as they keep it to themselves.

I don't know. They have no decorum either. I've seen Americans have perfectly straight-faced conversations with near strangers about the difficulties they had their first time trying anal sex.

America has no shame. No shame at all.

Call me old fashioned, but that was the best virtue by far.

Well if you spent time amongst Americans anywhere other than sleazy gay bars you might have a different impression.

still for me its the combination of life long brain washing(salute the flag - do all amercians have to do this?) combined with all the guns - which i find the most disturbing, oh and the fact you can elect a bunch of liars into the whitehouse(hold on we have Tony Blair here - so britain needs to hold its hand up for that one too).

The life long salute flag thing really does freak me, i consider myself a very patriotic brit - i'd die defending my country and queen and all that, but i never recieved state brainwashing to have to feel like that.
Is it maybe because america is made up of people from all over the world, so it was seen as being needed to bond you all together or something like that?
I still find it a bit odd though......

Other than that i find americans by and large fine people, no more crazy than many others for sure

Yeah. But they do it in a manly way.

Actually it doesn't bother me over much, but a friend was so freaked out about it that it was the first thing he warned me about when I arrived in Canada.

Touching here is definitely no no. Unless you are good friends. After hand shake, do not touch in any way. Personal space in here is extremely important. Like in Japan, don't push the other person to difficult position. Same in here. don't touch, don't come too close, you know when it's ok, if you are not sure, then it's not ok. Only if you are friends. But when you are friends, you can grab them how ever you wish.

That guy I would rate as 25% nutcase and 75% criminally stupid.

I've been thinking on this subject and I came to the realization that nutcases tend to be equally distributed. The skewing of results seems to be the result of US media giving them far more air time than other countries.

All of the European nutcases were killed off in WWI and WWII. Unfortunately it’s been a long time since the US had been involved in a devastating war so we’ll still have to put up with all the crazies and morons.

It must be a Canadian thing, American men don't want anyone getting too close to their gun hand.
