Imagine the less friendly countries. Not to mention the food and water standards in most other countries is much worse than in the US.
Hell I've never been west of the Mississippi River. Once again, no desire too, WTF I want to go to California? I'd go there and the 'big one" would hit.
Also the US is bigger than Europe so an American that travled from Seattle to Miami would have traveled father than some "enlighten" European that traveled Norway to Greece.

My friend got ecoli from eating a hamburger at Jack in the box, and that was in America.
I have also been there a couple of times, and to be honest I can't drink your water, it tastes like shit (but then again I can't drink the water in Spain, nor have I tasted the water in all the states either, Icelandic water is the best
).
Sure America is big, and a lot of Europeans should travel around there to broden their horizon (in regards to America that is), they would probably forget about a few sterio types.
In general traveling is good for you, going to Chicago is not the same as going to Poland, that is like saying going to some American army base in Europe is like going to America.
Fact is that both Europe and America are quite dependent on each other, and we are not that different. I mean for an European going to America it is not very exotic and vice versa.
