New Poll Finds Modern Americans Rude

[Vashner]

It's all about how your raised. I go from polite to stone cold steel. I have no rude mode. If someone is in my face i'll just calmy say " off I am armed"... that normally does the trick.

[Clandestino]

I have to deal with rude people all of the time with working where I do. It's become even more of a task with all these evacuees in town now. This is definitely not news to me. Sometimes you just want to you know?

where do you work?

i talked to a sheriff this past weekend. he said the hurricane people were the most unappreciative, rude, sobs he's ever dealt with.

I dont think we should just stop at rude....because i know for a fact, that myself,
I'm rude, arrogant, obnoxious, stuck up, and conceited.....i mean were ing Amercians we have a right to be proud.... those other ing countries.......

except, Poland, Germany, Russia, Japan, Slovenia, and Argentina

[SWC Bonfire]

i'm not shocked.
but I still act shocked whenever I run across rude people.
I refuse to accept it as normal.

Good for you. Also, refuse to do business with these people if at all possible.

I work in the Acadiana Mall in Lafayette, La. I know the people of San Antonio have seen alot of evacuees but our town has nearly doubled in population. I can vouch for the sheriff you talked to and say he's right on the money describing these people. Our town welcomed these people with open arms (just like my hometown of San Antonio) and we are becoming quite sick of it all. It's getting old now.

I don't know about that. If you get away from the big cities, Europeans are very friendly and helpful - just like in the US.

I would wager that a French farmer is much friendlier than your average New Yorker.

oh bonfire youre just anti-american!

And typing with the "text messaging" slang is inconsiderate to those who aren't 12 or have higher than an 8th grade education.

I've met alot of people from the U.K. (my fiancee being one) and they are always SUPER, SUPER nice!

I meant Freedom Farmer.

No mooks, Bonfire is just bitter because he knows that all americans joke about aggies, therefore traveling to other countries is necessary to escape the constant ridicule of being an Aggie/Aggie fan in states

The best Aggie jokes all come from Aggies themselves. We tell them so that you don't realize that we are taking over.

OnStar* is working silently right now...

in almost every society a farmer is going to be nicer than a city dweller.. that is a no brainer.

but when you compare city folk to city folk, and small town farmer to farmer, then i'd say americans are nicer than euros... especially the in germans.. those are some cold sobs... of course, until you get to know them.. after that, they are cool..

[SWC Bonfire]

I thought that Germans were VERY friendly. Maybe it's because I'm a 6'-6" German Texan.

Seriously, they all wanted to try out their English and came to talk to me. I would go to a restaurant and they would give me free stuff and always wanted me to try the local beer (multiple times on the house). They are proud of their communities and you have to respect that. You have to know how to have a conversation with them in the "structured" German way.
