I think all your specific questions miss out on the key element of the way Americans view Europeans, which is that Europeans don't work very hard, are less independent, and like the government way more than Americans.

We don't feel we're better than Europeans, we know we're better. It's not even a contest at this point.

I love the accents, the different ways of life, the architecture in London, France, Italy, and I love the history of Europe. I'd love to spend a holiday there in any of the aforementioned (hah) places.

What I dislike is when Europeans judge American government without really knowing US history, etc. (Won't name exact poster I'm talking about) Or judge Americans as a whole, stereotyping us.

I also dislike the more socialized forms of government found in Europe.

not necessarily my opinion but what I believe most americans believe...

[ QUOTE ]
Do you feel yourself better than us?

[/ QUOTE ]

politically yes. most other aspects are probably closer but few americans will admit to anything that we're not at least equal to europe in. small groups of people have a fanatical love for certain things such as german cars or italian clothes.

[ QUOTE ]
More modern/less advanced?Europe wealthyer/more poor?

[/ QUOTE ]

for both questions, equal to some countries, greater than others. unless we're talking about places like Monaco but that doesn't count.

[ QUOTE ]
Would you ever go to Europe on a holiday?

[/ QUOTE ]

Europe is a very popular spot for Americans to vacation

[ QUOTE ]
You have different opinions on each country, or do you view us all alike?

[/ QUOTE ]

They're all different.

I also think each successive question became less and less debatable, like you'll probably get a lot of different opinions on the first one, but I don't know anyone who thinks of all of Europe as being the same.
