I don't think one can really generalize that the way you try to do it here. I
work with people from the US quite frequently (actually, each and every day).
Of course, there are people who think like that. But you can find them
everywhere, it's not special to the US. And also from the US, you can find a
lot of people who think different.

Yes, and you will find sentences like that for almost every nation on the
planet. Just exchange the name.

Again: you will find people telling you stuff like that all around the globe.
Here in Germany, they might rather tell you they bought a car, not a rifle, but
the rest of it is just the same. Your priority is having a steak, and I'm
pretty sure this can hardly be generalized on all people coming from Belgium.
Different people have different priorities, so what?

And you're so blinded by your own priorities (read: full of prejudice) that you
do not refrain from proliferating urban myths to second your point of view:

Even worse: you're wasting other people's time here. Please stop. If it takes
beer to get you stopped, go and have some.
