    Americans and their Behavior

    Nice blog- give it a read-
    They are "very" proud of their country. To them, the Universe is the United States . So never ever make fun of or speak lightly about them or tell them that they do not have any social/cultural background. You will make more American friends that way.


    10. Americans and their Behavior

    - Americans are very friendly and helpful.

    - They don't make you feel like a foreigner. (Though you feel!)

    - It is very easy to adjust with them. But they don't like people getting very inquisitive or trying to get too personal in the initial phase of the acquaintance.

    - They dress casually and nobody bothers which dress you wear etc.

    - They are fun loving creatures and enjoy their free time. Most of them like to keep themselves physically fit by regular outings, hiking, exercise, biking, jogging etc. They love the outdoors and natural surroundings. They look forward to weekends and plan their weekend activities in advance. This usually consists of some outdoor activity.

    - They are frank about their opinions.

    - They respect individual views and allow everyone to voice their own ideas on a subject.

    - They gesture a lot and shoot some funny (at least so it seems initially) phrases at you. It is a matter of "getting used to it".

    Couple finishes meal while child tied up in car

    This is awful!
    clipped from www.cnn.com

    CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee (AP) -- Police in northwest Georgia have rescued a boy from a hot car where his mother's companion is accused of tying him up.

    Ringgold, Georgia, police say a Cracker Barrel restaurant employee called police after seeing Raymond Minchew take the 6-year-old out of the restaurant and return without him -- then finished eating his meal. Ringgold is 13 miles southeast of Chattanooga, Tennessee.

    Police found the bound boy sitting in the car, crying.

    Sgt. John Gass says the child was soaked with sweat and had a rope tied to one of his ankles. Gass says the temperature was in the 80s Saturday in Ringgold.

    The 61-year-old Minchew and the boy's mother -- 35-year-old Rachel Gilchrist -- were arrested and charged with cruelty to children

    Investigators believe the boy was in the hot car for about a half hour.

    Gass says the couple contended the boy had misbehaved, although witnesses at the restaurant disagreed.

    The boy has been placed in protective custody.
