    Everything’s a drama, or a story that needs to be be told

    Well you should ask yourself if you’re an outsider looking in through the lens of our media.

    Because if you are, and you see us through our media, our media is very focus on profit generation, and gives a very ‘two sides fighting’ view of everything that is America, as that drives viewership and profits the most.

      It’s from when I actually meet you lot. I won’t even date Americans now in my city - it’s just always some drama.

      I’m sure not all Americans are like that and I’ve worked with some really cool ones - no doubt, but there’s definitely a culture of emotional drama that contributes to an unhealthy greater society.

        It’s a lot of Americans to have met to make a blanket statement like you did though.

        I’m sure not all Americans are like that and I’ve worked with some really cool ones - no doubt, but there’s definitely a culture of emotional drama that contributes to an unhealthy greater society.

        Well one thing to understand about America is there’s multiple/many cultures, not just one, and it depends on what region of the country you’re viewing. And then on top of that there’s two or three meta cultures.

        Also, you’re not catching us at our best right now, we are pretty angry at each other here over politics right now, so try to consider that as well.

        No one is perfect 100% of the time.

        Americans you meet

        You’ll find there’s a huge difference in attitude between what I call tourists and travellers.

        Immigrants and expats too.
