Cheesiness is what American culture is made of. Disneyland,6 Flags,reality TV,etc. While you guys in the UK are known for being aloof and refined, we Americans are known for our cheesy, as you so kindly put it,pop culture.I hate 50 cent,he looks like a chipmunk.LOL!

I am european, but I am a frequent visitor to america.\n\nI think that americans are generally unaware of how much they are manipulated by their politicians in terms of what they think is normal.\n\nAmerican culture is in itself militarised.  In Europe we laugh about how every worker in america has to have a uniform...and badges...and a batman type utility belt....\n\nWe also are amused at how every emergency is met by throwing as many uniformed people at it as possible.  This was beautifully parodied in 'The Blues Brothers' with all the SWATS going 'huck...huck...huck..while abseiling.\n\nAmerica is still a young culture, and the rest of the world still see it as a country full of people who are impressed by childish things, so the militarisation of your police departments is not slow...it is painfully and amusingly obvious to everyone but americans.

The American tends to be more ignorant, or more of an asshole.

i'm an american, but i think i can answer that: arrogance. americans treat everyone as foreigners, even when visiting a foreign country. i was in europe three years in the air force, and i was ashamed at the way most gi's behaved over there.

I hate to admit it, and I might have the CIA knocking on my door in a few hours for saying it, but I dont like Americans. I have lived here my whole life and I think that as a whole, Americans are arrogant, greedy, simpleminded, intolerant, ignorant, and superficial. (Case in point: work2twerk who posted your first answer.) We have a horrible system of not taking care of our children and elderly and those who are sick. We can not see a doctor when we need to because we are uninsured and we can not go to college because we can not afford to. Something isnt right when the richest country on the Earth can not care for it's citizens.

Because Most Americans have lost respect for their own country and their own bodies.  They don't respect themselves or anyone else.  They are lazy SOBs who sap money from the gov't because they are too lazy to work and then taxes go up so I get less for what I work for.  I worked in places where people use their food stamps for chips and dip and their cash allowances for beer and cigarettes.  IT'S SICK!  Forget their kids...forget why they even were allowed that money in the first place.  DISRESPECT, LAZINESS, AND SELFISHNESS are all the reasons why America is less fit than probably any other country in the world.  \n\n***Sorry...this is a touchy topic for me, if you can't tell...I've got stories and stories about this too...

My answer is not going to be liked but.......Americans are self absorbed and greedy. They are a fast food, drive through pharmacy, no time to breath culture that has no respect for anything that does not prersonally effect them. They refuse to see the rest of the worlds struggles. Yes I am American but wow, how this country has gotten this way I don't know. When the bombing happend in England, I heard people say..."that was no 9-11 though" Absolutely ridiculous, death is death and struggle is struggle. There have been terroristic holy wars for decades that people refuse to see unless it is in their back yards. My opinion, agree or not.

Americans are rude but Indians are by far worse.  Atleast Americans dont go and grab womens breasts and butt right on the streets like Indians do and consider it acceptable.  American taxi drivers dont drop you off at the wrong location intentionally to scam you like indian taxis.  American police and teachers dont demand bribes like indian ones do.  So  Ill say compared to Indians, americans are saints

I don't think the majority of this country has a superiority complex. Government might... ha ha. Americans are self-involved and don't seem to care what goes on in other parts of the world. That might fuel the superior stereotype.

Americans, generally, hate the poor and are CHEAP!!\n\nThey rather blame them than to help them. If they can say it is by some character flaw then they can sleep well at night knowing a kid is starving to death!

I must preface what I have to say just a bit...I love America, and what I say here is not a reflection on ALL Americans, but how we have gotten the reputation that we have!           I have traveled extensively and it is true Americans are VERY disliked! It because of a few different reasons. One being entitlement. Most American think they are due the best and fastest service, that they are entitled to tell other people how to live and what to believe. We are a nation that is very spoiled and really has no grasp on other peoples lives. Americans...I hate to say are a complacent people also, which leads to mis-understanding from other cultural groups. Finally there is our President...I think from what you wrote above I need not expound on this issue. Yes Americans ARE very dis-liked, but this is not all together unfounded.

This attitude comes from being a very large well develped country, which has progressively bred a disturbing level of arrogance.\n\nBasically, America is drunk on its own hype.
