But you wouldn't mind giving it an extreme make over.
On the 4th of July, you'll fly a freak flag instead...
And give Uncle Sam a sucker punch!How American Are You?

You're as American as Key Lime Tofu Pie
Otherwise known as un-American!
You belong in Cairo or Paris...
Get out fast - before you end up in Gitmo!
How American Are You?
You Are 51% American
Most times you are proud to be an American.
Though sometimes the good ole US of A makes you cringe
Still, you know there's no place better suited to be your home.
You love your freedom and no one's going to take it away from you!
How American Are You?

Pretty bad quiz. Unanswerable in many instances.
It's certainly not a fad to hate America's policies etc. That's been happening for ages.
Hating American people though, yes seems to be a fad; mainly due to the fact that the Americans we get to see, are the sort of flag loving, freedom singing, Christians. Plus, another problem is that Americans don't tend to travel much, I mean I think it's only something like 10% that have ever been out of America. this is frustrating for people in Britain, and around the world, as America is a nation with an overwhelming say as to what happens in the world.

Ah crap! you're less of an American than me.
Good riddens, though!

Australians are not isolated. Where did that come from?
As for Europeans, they travel to America, Australia, Asia and South America very often. One of the most popular destinations for Britons, amongst others is Thailand.
I reside in UK, but this year so far, I have been in Amsterdam, Athens, Zürich, Belgrade and now I'm in Montreal in Canada.
Last year I was in Rome, Paris, Prague, Istanbul (but only briefly), and year before then Ann Arbor, MI, USA, Barcelona and Lisbon.
And I don't travel THAT much, compared to my best friend who has spent time in Cairo, Santiago and Nicosia last year. 3 Continents in a year. And for her this is usual behavior, as is for number of Europeans.
This kind of travel is rather usual for Europeans, and Australians. (as well as other)
I don't know where you got the idea that Australians are isolated.
Americans are not isolated, and that is certainly not an excuse for majority of Americans not actually seeing world other than America.

I was joking when I said I hated America, and I can't believe that some people according to people on this thread don't like American's because we don't travel as often. That's just stupid.
That is meant that if one does not travel, then that person knows little to nothing of other cultures and places - which makes those people look bad.
Its why some Americans who do travel, tend to pretend to be Canadians, so they're not outed by others.
For example, while we were in Morocco we met these few guys on holiday there - not only did they stood out ridiculously, but they tried to pay with American Dollars, and were stunned when learned that in Morocco they don't actually accept them!
Shock-horror!
Anyway, that is what is meant by ''Americans not traveling''.
