I would suggest to any who are intimidated by America they need to grow up and realize in a nation of 300 million plus people, you will have some sad cases. I have been to 46 of 50 states and while Americans don't always understand others from other nations, they don't always understand each other. As for those going off on the fact the Americans have guns....most people as tourists in the USA will never see one. What is more, there are far more dangerous nations than the USA....so spare me the leftist drivel about those awful Americans. They have their faults, and quirks, and some cities are not always shining jewels, but it is one vast and interesting nation. I haven't made it across the oceans to other continents, but the USA isn't scary. Mexico I found a little scary at times......
