    Dan,
    Don't cancel your trip just because of the comments made on this thread. By and large you will have a wonderful time, and you will meet some wonderful people. When you run into the odd jerk, all you have to do is smile and ignore them, the same as you would at home.

    As an American, I'm often embarrassed by my countrymen and their simplistic stereotypes.

    Don't be. We Americans are more often the targets of "simplistic stereotypes" (and worse) around the globe, than the perpetrators of same....

    I agree. I don't think any one country has a monopoly on this. There are "stereotypers" (is that a word?) all over the world, including Canada. I think the recent "Call to Arms" thread has provided a good example of one in Mr. Matthews.
