I've lived in Northern New York.... The Adirondack Mountains Region... my whole life. I have traveled into a few states and people are very different in each and everyone of them. I have been to One town in Canada for a dental visit and I thought it was beautiful....although I can't stand the way the Canadians drive... I don't think they are bad people at all...some are nice depending where in Canada they are from. Same goes with New Yorkers and Americans. It really all depends where they are from. It really urks me that people always have a fowl taste in their mouths about Americans. I know everyone in my family and my boyfriends family are good Americans. We are happy, not loud, we're polite and have manners, very good to people and are willing to lend a head when it's needed... unlike alot of Americans we actually do give a S**T. One of my hubby and mines favorite show is Top Gear which is a UK show about amazing cars! They always talk about how much they hate Americans.... well if you go to Texas YOU can not base those friggin wacko super freaks to all of America!!! I guys other then the manners... the only think that really is different... is English people tend to be quite a bit less interested in their dental hygiene.
