Americans are the most nationalist people ever.
They don't like or care about anything that comes from outside the US.
Nope, except for some of my food, a few tools, and maybe two pieces of furniture, I couldn't find anything that comes from inside the U.S.
Some of them don't even know where European countries are...

I hate to even get into this but considering the amount of roads in your country it would not be hard to have them nice and paved. at 300km2 its about 9% the size of our smallest state. Infact america has 70 cities that are larger then your county. Also the IMF paid 40 Billion to Greece bailout. America funds 20% of the IMF so America gave 8 Billion.

Also we really need to get this topic back on subjet.
And I have nothing wrong in general with Americans. Computers are basically thanks to America.

I've moved the ethnocentrism posts here as they were off-topic in the thread in which they developed. For now, I'm allowing this discussion to continue; however, this appears to be a thread that could turn ugly, or to politics, quickly. Please try to avoid that. Thank you.

I think the main problem for Nokia is that whenever english speaking people talk about them, they usually mention that they are finnish... and then people think "oh that's too bad they made some really nice phones... ah well then I'll just have to buy an iPhone or an Android..."

Anyhow, I don't need Hitler to serve as an example of nationalism -- practically any nation worth talking about before 1800 will do nicely. Europe's relative lack of nationalism, regardless of whether you consider it good or bad, is factually a fairly recent deviation from historical precedent. (You should realize this if you'd learned anything about history; I'd rather have a good knowledge of my own nation's history than global geography, though fortunately I didn't have to choose, and even have a good helping of world history to boot.)
Some of them don't even know where European countries are...

And sadly, pretty much every other handset maker is happily complicit, which sucks.
