Anyone else notice this?
When a foreigner posts/talks, I am talking about someone living in another country, they have this very polite and endearing way of talking. I've noticed this a lot among Europeans who always talk as if they are talking to someone very important, maybe its the language barrier but i think its something a lot of American kids should learn.
I think its the culture thats to blame. For example, as a whole, Americans tend to be rude and disrespectful, while Europeans tend to show more class and respect.
Now, dont get me wrong, im not hating on my country or anything, im just pointing out an observation.

i'm probably the most polite out of my circle of friends...i wasn't raised in the US either, i was raised in New Zealand. i have noticed in America, people are fairly rude to each other - stranger or not.

I think people in their own country are rude. But when Europeans are here in the states, they're friendly because they're in unfamiliar territory. Same thing with americans when they're in Europe. I think that's what axemansean was talking about.
