I'm an American too....
And that is how I feel.
Not all of us (as I stated in the parenthesis that look oddly similar to these ones) are like that, but generalization can be true for some part.

The subject title should be "A vast majority of Americans are rather ignorant,if you will." lol

I'm from America and I have to agree somewhat! I LOVE QUEEN and I feel that Freddie's homosexuality had ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the way he sang! People tend to pick on those who are different in the slightest ways and it really is a shame. The way I look at it is Who Cares!! What ever sexual preference Freddie had was his business and his business alone. That made him no less of a person. I'm looking forward to the day that I can meet him in Heaven!!
americans are just way too paranoid and take things too seriosly. they obsess over the war and made way to much of a deal out of the whole superbowl incedent. i don't think as a whole that they are as accepting of other cultures and ideas as other countries are. they should stop acting like they rule the world and their opinion is always right, not that this is the people but rather those in charge
Yes,in some ways. For instance: the arrogant way of pushing other countries and other thinking peolple. The government lies to make sense of war, but of course they need money and oil, because no other country don`t cares so much about ökologie and ressources than america I think. Other point: Almost all countries avoid landmines except america. Buisiness is number one and worth to make the whole world die. This fallen society thinks that they will get wings while they fall. Anyway, this is the way people outside america see the politic. It has nothing to do with you people in it. I´m sure you as kind, peacefully,tolerant, nice etc. like everybody else. And in the past America did a great job and helped to build a free thinking world to live in...
I think some of them are just pure ignorant, some of them really don't like Queen's (or rock)music, but some of them are really narrow-minded double standard hypocrites. They are afraid to admit that a GAY man can actually sing better, perform better than their MACHO men in rock music. They feel threatened, so they have to label Queen as a gay band and try to ignore the greatness of their music and performances.
Just take a look of Elton John case: He's gay, and a bitchy one actually. He is not only accepted by Americans, but also embraced. He's everywhere nowadays. Shows in Las Vegas, guest appearances in American idol and Extreme make over home edition, he's even talking with ABC for a sitcom based on his life. Recently, he even got the 27th annual Kennedy Center Honor for his lifetime contribution to American culture through the performing arts! They even call him "Sir Elton"(I know he's knighted, but still...) What's up with that? I think they just don't feel threatened by Elton, so he can do whatever he wants.
So now tell me those people are NOT narrow-minded double standard hypocrites.

Oh, Freddie always wanted to be a MACHO man...
"give me, give me, body .... I want your body"

In America, people are constantly making fun of Queen, and looking down on Queen because of Freddie's homosexuality. I was wathcing Vh1 today, and there was a shoe about celebrities coming out of the closet. While this show was on, they began to play Queen songs. It isn't that that was offencive or anything, but they just need to lay off!!!! Do any of you agree?
i am an maercian and what you say to some extent is true but that does not mean we suck! my gosh. I did however see the show you are talking about and was alittle upset that they played queen songs just because freddie was gay.
Hey dont say all of America sucks. Just so you know, America is just about split 50/50 on being homosexual. So dont shoot your fucking mouth off just because not everyone likes Queen.
But what Bush thinks isn't what the American people think.
tell me about it
do you think
