 | Loerke (46) 03/03/2007 | I'm secure enough about my country that I don't have a problem poking fun at it. My only problem with the list is the title. I don't hear the word "Americanism" used very often, and if I do, it usually refers to an idiomatic expression that only Americans use. It's a terribly imprecise and misleading category. And on RIA, the title really is everything. So, yeah, it kinda sucks.

 | Jed1000 (72) 06/12/2005 | The basic premise of the list is fine. Like it or not there are customs, institutions, mannerisms, quirks, etc. that are uniquely American and about which one could intelligently comment. The premise is not the problem. What makes the list ridiculous and pointless are the items chosen for inclusion. That, plus the grandly offensive manner in which the items are worded. What could have been a pretty good list ends up being laughable.

 | earthbound (37) 05/21/2005 | Just four stars because the very fact that it was so annoying prompted me to actually end up making lots of comments. Of the lists that I have commented on, it is pretty high up there on the 'dumb' list, though.

 | sfalconer (21) 05/20/2005 | Lets make up a word and create a list that attacks the USA, what an original idea. All Americans need is to feel more hate from across the pond from some one calling themsleves Betty Boop. Betty Boop one of the first American icons. A mis-guided Brit who sees the european union as an answer to all their problems and has probably never been out of her ? country. Its really sad to see folk attack the USA when they know nothing about the country and its people.
