I wish Americans were more relaxed, open, and kind-hearted about their views. As an American who has been to and researched other countries heavily, I do think we are more intense and thus less understanding of the inherent good of people when we get our “big egos” up about our political views. Obviously there is a ton of diversity here and not everyone is like that but the media does a good job of fostering division amongst the people. For example, I think it’s quite normal here to judge someone based on their party affiliation which is absurd. What a great way to keep people from unifying by labeling them and encouraging them to judge others based on political party.

When the liberal doesn't follow the often counter-intuitive nature of the conservative's perspective they'll often think the conservative is supportive of or indifferent to the problem at hand (or at worse think they're evil or stupid) when that's not necessarily true. Of course substitute "liberal" and "conservative" with whatever identifiers your country uses and how they mean it.

All in all, the comments and impressions were pretty on-point, really. BTW/I think a lot of Americans would love to visit NZ, but it's probably as far away as you can get from us and still be on Earth. But from the pictures and videos (not to mention the movies), it's a stunningly beautiful country.

I'm a New Zealander and I love the States. Been to CA, AZ, NM, TX, NY, CT, NJ, KS, MO, NE, KS, MD, MA, NV. May have missed one or two. Stormchasing through the Midwest was nuts. Almost as nuts as driving in Los Angeles or San Francisco....Got pulled over for doing 90 in Arizona on I-40......was let off with a warning. That would NEVER happen in NZ!!! I actually like AZ lot. I have found here in NZ that those who have a negative opinion of the US have never been, so likely have a TV notion of the place and people. Those who HAVE been cannot say enough about the place (like me haha)

As a American I grew up living all over the world my father was in the Marine Corps and then after Vietnam War transferred to the US Air Force . The one thing my father taught us boys was to respect people learn their cultures and embrace them as your own family. In 1984 I joined the Marine Corps and have the honor of training with the New Zealand Army , Australian Army. It's how you treat people that change the way people look at your country. Every country has their own history and I can remember pulling into Tasmania and having thousands of people waiting at the pier to great us. Don't fear Americans because the majority of us are just like everyone else we want our own peace and happiness on this small place we call Earth.

From the 3-4 videos I've seen of yours, I know "guns" is going to be among the things they don't like, but it's criminals that lend to this opinion. No legal gun owner starts the conflict. It's an important distinction. Add to that it was numbered two in our Constitution because "those guys" knew that corruption is a part of "freedom" and we like the freedom to fend off those that want to oppress us. Full stop.
