"Then you must be surprised that the French, or other Europeans irritated with US policies of the past two years are not prone to ranting about the ignorant Americans, so obese they cannot fit in one airplane seat, such fools that they are too dumb to realize they have been lied to, whose children score lowest in international tests of aptitude not to mention cannot even find Iraq on the map of the world, who keep suing each other on the dumbest little issues imaginable, whose "cuisine" consists of the fast food and the snack, a nation of people so alienated, scared, and alone in their cities that they cannot look each other in the eye in the streets."

NICE RANT! By your admission you are neither French nor European. Or at the least, you are an exception. Nice RANT!

But you, unlike the Euros you look up to, are prone to such ranting. As you just displayed.

You must have spent some formative in the states, probably the NE - somewhere between Phillie and Boston. San Francisco, Portland, Madison WI, Vermont are other possibilities, but I'd put my money on the NJ, NY, MA area. Somewhere along the line you were indoctrinated into American liberalism. And that, an American liberal, is what you are inside regardless of where you live and hold citizenship.

Additionally they drink lousy robusta coffee, Folger, Maxwell, Star-Dunking-Bucks, McDonald superior boiling and all that crap.

Nothing about culture, just about how to sell the dark masses something cheap and making them believe it is something else, best in the world, patriotic, hopefully making sure they have no idea of nothing.

Btw, Kenyan coffee is pretty good, but one has to agree to an insect happily buried in the coffee here and there, as well as pay a fair price.
