I believe that most Americans are under the illusion that they truly have free speech, true democracy. etc..   Compare the actions of previous actions of dominant empires throughout history.  Have we transformed or are Americans fooled by a cleaver rouse.

we don't..it's quite obvious that it isn't. If you're going to question Intelligence instead of saying "Americans" name one that you know believes it to be true and go from there.

The world hates Americans because they know we have a system of govt where the general population of citizens controls the govt 100%. The problem is, they don't realize how dumb and lazy us Americans are, and they actually THINK we use that authority of ours and we are telling our govt to do this. BUT, what they fail to understand is we ARE dumb and lazy and we just lie back and allow our government to do what it wants to uncontrolled.

Because most of the American people ARE stupid. Geez, just look who they elected as president?!?

yes... they also assume that about 80 percent of America believes the same thing that they do... even after about 48 percent of America voted for Kerry... and that was when Bush was popular, compared to now... \n\nIn short... they are in denial... listen to them... all media is against them, except for 1 or 2 clearly bias networks...\nthey think liberals are both extremely stupid and yet they control all educational institutes... and liberals want to take over America and turn it into a communist dictatorship... this is what some of them actually say on here... \n\nmany of them clearly have no base in reality...\n\nAnon28: welcome to Yahoo Answers!... I've seen that one before

most americans like everyone else in the world have the tendency to stereotype and judge without enough information, sure there are those with good hearts and working brains, but sadly they are most of the time overshadowed by ignorant and arogant ones, i don't believe in communism, but this doesn't mean i have to fight everyone else with different belief than mine, and doesn't necessarily mean i'm right and they are wrong in the 1st place !! God when will this world grow up a little!

I am an American and the truth is Americans are arrogant. Americans will visit a foreign country and call the people there foreigners! lol, it's true. But seriously, I do think that's the reason why...not to mention we are a bit spoiled. Now understand, not ALL Americans are like this but you can safely say the majority fit in this category.
