Shaun,
It is very unfair to stereotype Americans in this way. We are 300 million
individuals, all different, not 300 million "Americans".

You guys been breeding like rabbits recently? Last count you were 240

So far, the Americans that have manifested themselves on this list have
pretty much reinforced the stereotypes some people have of them: whingy
complainers who want everything yesterday and dislike change. Luckily, most
Americans I've met aren't like that.
