I saw it on some white supremacist forum hit from google. But I didn't care enough to confirm. As long as we are hating on jews I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

It isn't true, incidentally. Having lived in a variety of places, I can say with some certainty Americans are not a cruel people, nor a sordid people. Greedy is a little more complicated. I've found Americans tend to be greedier in the voting booth than nearly anyone else, but in their personal lives quite generous.

Either that or he hasn't lived here for a while. Most people I know are 100% certified douchecanoes who are cruel, sordid, and extremely greedy.

I think it's more likely you just haven't lived anywhere else so you have no meaningful point of comparison. Americans seem like cruel greedy douches until you live somewhere else and realize that comparitively speaking there are actually a lot of good things about American people. People are bastards everywhere, Americans actually less so than most.
Japanese people are way more cruel in their personal lives than Americans. So are Brits and French people in my experience. And Chinese people, at least in Hong Kong.
If you're an old lady who just fell down the stairs in the subway, you'd be much better off doing it America than any of those other places. In Japan 100 people might walk by ignoring you before anyone helped. And then when you did get help and needed medical attention, if you didn't have any money or insurance you'd have a hell of a time finding a hospital that would admit you.

Perhaps a couple of you need to expand your circle of friends. I agree with Yuki. My travels have not led to the conclusion of the op.
