I found Germans to be much more sociable than most Americans, and they can certainly teach Americans a thing or two about how to party.

No, Americans have a lot to learn from Germans.

Our homicide rate is 4.84, theirs is .84 per 100,000.

Next to you start a thread, say something intelligent.

You can't compare German with American culture.

One is a peaceful culture and one is a gang-banging culture.

Hell, Europeans even come over here two experience our gang culture.

Around the world Americans are viewed as friendly, but selfish. Not creepy. I'd agree with selfish.
