Blame it on their arrogance and the fact that they are ignorant and unaware on how countries and the world has changed in the past decades.\nNot to mention their Caucasian racist attitude of thinking every non-white country and culture as inferior and fit only to be destroyed.

none of the above.  The US seems to attracts all kinds of people from all walks of life.  Its still a melting pot and all kinds of weirdos exist.  Some we like some we hate.  It's all a part of life.

As in all things, we Americans are self-conceited jerks.  If it doesn't happen within our shores, we seem to think it doesn't really matter.

The problem here is people can't think outside of the box. Americans just love to segregate, and pretend we're the cream of the crop. People forget we're all in this world together, no country is better than another country, we're just all people populating the world.

America is the most beautiful country i think, in the world. Good government, good land, good structure. But unfortunately most of the people i don't like. No-one friendly, bush-haters, Jesus-haters, and a million more. Nobody will say "hi" or wave any more. They make fun of people they don't like and envy. People get so offended, no more holidays on calenders, "my holiday is not on there." etc. i have seen so many smart-Alick answers on here. nobody will be NICE anymore. It bothers me. and not to mention the cussing. I am equally disappointed.

Because we, as Americans, are generally a bunch of self-centered jerks.  I should know.  I'm one of them.  We don't tend to think in global terms.  A popular saying here for anyone who doesn't want to get involved in something is "You can't see it from MY house."  What does that tell you?

We can sometimes be spoiled brats.  Rightly or wrongly most of us grow up thinking we live in the greatest country in the world, not because of who we are as individuals but because of our institutions and our history.  We naively expect the entire world to feel the same way and for everyone to "love" us.  I suppose it is kind of an insecurity, possibly because we are this melting pot.  I think most countries with single strong ethnic identities probably don't suffer from this insecurity.  They are who they are and they just don't care what anyone thinks.  Americans get this attitude but in a different reactionary way.  Trying to give an example:  The French say might criticize America for something it's doing in the world...and it feels no embarrassment about doing so...they are perfectly justified in doing so.  However after this "affront" we become insulted...kind of get our "feelings hurt"....then respond with a kind of beligerant screw you attitude.  I suppose we come off kind of whiney at times like that.  On the other hand it seems that other countries aren't quite as "thin skinned".  So I don't think it's an inferiority complex...but I think it's a bit of over concern with image.  I think we should just do what we do and quit worrying about what people think.  Personally though I have to admit that i'm becoming weary of the weight of all the worlds problems and if the world wants us out of them maybe we should just get out of them...and let them deal with it all.  Seems to me like we are only having our entire economy destroyed by dealing with the rest of the world anyway..so shut the borders...bring all the troops home, cut off all foreign aid, no more trade, sit back, and carry a big big stick.  Maybe then the rest of the world will find us acceptable.\n\ntruthseeker...you are seeking anything but the truth or if you are it's to seek it out and destroy it wherever you find it.

Not all Americans are this way just like in every culture there is good and evil.  We have some really great and giving Americans that have a good heart with intentions of being a positive force in this world.  Unfortunately the only people that get recognized are the evil ones.

news flash folks...people thought this long before Bush was in the white house. lol Could blame Clinton too. Could blame the attitude people see among rude demanding people travelling in their countries. \nI have a good friend for years in Canada and he always used to grumble something about Americans then laugh and say "not you you're not like that". I'd always ask like what but he couldn't describe it. About 10-1/2 years ago I started working in an international hostel...and one night all of a sudden I got it. Americans come through the door demanding me me me me. Some others do too but not as much as Americans. They'll elbow in front of other guests. They are inconsiderate. Not all are like this but if that is all you see of someone it's easy to think everyone from there are like that. There were people travelling from UK or other countries that knew more about US geography than some Americans did.

No, its not just you though I can't blame them.  Our country, particularly our government, has an air of arrogance about it.  I suppose this stems from Americanizing other cultures and our self proclaimed "world police" status.  While these stereotypes do not apply to individuals, that perception of our nation as a whole bleeds into people's attitudes towards us on a personal level.

Simple, because Americans are wankers, f*ing gullable as well.

It's cos we are BRILLIANT and the rest of the world is insanely jealous of us. We have always been world beaters and leaders. They hate us for it...\n\nOh hum.... COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they're basically jealous.  america is powerful, for some reason the rest of the world cannot separate the people from the govt.  and they don't like our govt.

Who cares about the rest of the world?  People dislike the powerful and sucessful, its called envy.  The rest of the world hates Bush because he cares about 1 thing, the US.  The rest can go pound sand.

PERHAPS IT IS BECAUSE WE YANKED THIS COUNTRY FROM THEIR HANDS.  WE ALSO YANKED THEIR ASSES FROM BECOMING GERMANS OR RUSSIANS.  WE KEEP ON YANKING THE WORLD ALONG ALTHOUGH IN RETURN WE GET DISRESPECT AND RIDICULE.

Who? Us? Well I never... Maybe because we think we are better. I don't because I think all people from all countries are cool. I was in the US Navy for ten years and met plenty of people from around the world. They all seem to have the same basic wants and needs and most are good people. I hope that you find more good Americans than bad because most of us are very good people. Sorry for the few bad ones you have run into. I am from Fort Worth, Texas and I promise that most Americans are not like that.\n\nSincerely,\nTerry S
