Add #2-#25... #1 still has more members.
I would gladly use some other form of currency and convert it... but then it would alienate the other people who don't use that currency. So I will just use my own currency unless it's relevant to convert it.

Actually, it would be typical European to enter the US as their country since USA is the financial (even though they aren't) and entertainment capital of the world.
(I'm not saying that 5000 people have done this but a good 100 might).
In Norway we have a company selling mobile cells and stuff who uses a sheep who talks "American" and it's apparantly it is working because those commercials have been on for 3-4 years.
Over here anything American is automatically cool, just look at the music.

Whaaa? I'm sorry, I like living in the US... best shit here isn't good. All the new music is crap compared to older (90's and back) music, our cars suck ass (once again, were only good back in the day), new houses suck (you can see houses swaying in mild wind)... hell, even our corporations suck.
Reason being, Obama gives tax breaks to large corporations to let them make more jobs... what do they do? Lay off more people... If it wasn't for the 1st, 2nd, 5th, and the 21st amendment... this country would SUCK.

That USA is the coolest country in the world is the mainstream societys view, i'm mildly anti-America because it disgust me how much influence "you" have on the rest of the world when what you're contributing is worthless, every big movie is American (except a few British ones), 95% of mainstream music comes from the US and kids my age eat that shit up.
At school we're taught both American-English and conventional English and no one chooses to go with the English accent because it's lame and "American" is so cool.
Needless to say, when i speak English, i speak proper English.

America is no where near the coolest country (I think all of us here will agree that any Asian country is 10 times cooler). I personally think this country is being ruined by the rich... some statistic came out saying that 400 of the richest people in America own as much wealth as 150 million middle class American citizens... only 400? Compared to 150 million?!
I'm with you, America has no culture... or at least naive culture.
Twiggyay:
Mainstream society views America as the most awesome country in the world ( I don't), at least in Europe.
And as for you not thinking so, of course, anime isn't actually mainstream so us having Japan etc. as a favourite country is natural. And Americans would disagree with this too but any European would see what i mean.
