[qb]I think this statement you made is ignorant....I have been a member for a short time and I have never seen any posts stating that Americans are spoiled.

In her defense it has been said many times on the board.. here is an example.

Thanks for the quote.

But is not like is lie she telling. When I saw the threads about Americans checking out Canadian residency, the first thing that came to mind (after the shuddering at the cold) was all that blastid tax dem pay ovah deh.

I am with you Pepper .. hence my post above with my own explanantion.

Re: why do alot of jamaicans think all american are spoiled?

it is gratifying to know that the truth i have spoken has been noted...now of course, if u interpret the word spoilt in the sense of which it is being used, u can only agree with it

twenty four hour service,health care on demand , cheap products, relatively low tax, easy availability of cheap commodities and the list goes on and on

suffice it to say, that the literal among us fail to note distinctions

mrsbcruz, I am not *defending* your position.. I threw that quote there as evidence for those that said it was not said - that's all

I do agree with the fact that Americans in General are spoilt.

Sagal,
Everywhere you go in the world (not just on this bulletin board) Americans are classified as rude and spoiled.

I guess she is making mention of Jamaicans because this is a Jamaican site. But if she really knew how Jamaicans generalize Americans, she would not use the word spoiled.

Could we also assume that when she said "Americans" She was also including herself and/or most of us who LIVE IN America?? [img]/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
