Passport Control v. Diplomatic Immunity

My fellow Americans,
I have a request.
Shut up.
Please. Just close your loud mouths, and no don't fill it up with London Pizza Hut or Burger King, you get enough of that foul stuff at home.
It is tourist time in London again, which means that the normal bizarre mix of London commuters have to share transport, and leisure venues, with American tourists. Luckily the dollar is so strong that I rarely come into contact with them because the places I frequent would not be on the majority's radar. However, sidewalk, bus, tube, you name it: the Americans have invaded. Which means the decibel level has cubed.

Here is my subjective, unsubstantiated opinion on why Americans are not only loud but insist on broadcasting their [subjective, unsubstantiated] opinion wherever they are by virtue of their constantly flapping mouths. Americans are not educated about other cultures or countries except as related to the US. They are taught that their culture is the gold standard, no other country could have another opinion, and due to the eternal subcurrents of the Monroe Doctrine, this standard and the culture it projects should be projected onto others too. And the oral tradition is the easiest and cheapest way to do so. They are not interested in intaking other cultures, what others have to say on topics. They are, generally, only interested in proselytizing about their own romantic ideals of America.

To scale back the vitriol a bit, yes not every American is like that. I am not. Some of my friends are not. And some of theirs as well. And maybe i have my own issues dealing with my citizenship which colour my frustrations more intensely.

But I implore Ye Olde American Touriste to sush, zip it dot com and listen to what Europeans say, what their opinions on world topics are, ask them and listen rather than tell them how it is.
And please don't act amazed when a Brit speaks precise English. London is in England, it is their language first.
