It's a failing of mine too.... i used to judge the american people as a whole as bein rather obese, slow and stupid *shrugs*. I was wrong... you can't sum up a whole nationality as diverse as america in one sterotype. all the americans ive met here don't fit it, so ive had to reevaluate my judgement... it shames me to remember how i catergorised people without getting to know them :/

What I find most troubling, though, is that you would ever believe such a thing in the first place. I hold no animosity towards you, but I have met people with similar perspectives here, and I find it simply foolish. I wonder if it is due to a desire to see us as such, because certainly, if one looked at the full array of facts, no sane person could see Americans as all slow, stupid, and fat.

So much the better for your ability to grow, then, that you have come to our happy Wot-place.
