i've been to america, met some nice people.\n\nbut looking at the country from a distance, it seems to me that lots of americans have an extreme arrogant view on the world. like they own this world, like they do good to this world.\n\nthey bring democracy to countries with bombs, they always brag about their big financial aids to the world, when the truth is that they contribute almost the lowest percentage of their national income to aid. european countries donate about 0.7 to 0.8 % , the usa only 0.25% of their national income. just bcs they have a lot of people, it sounds much money, but the european union in total donated lots and lots more.\n\nand abt bush..let me not even answer u on that. he's the devil in cowboyclothes.

I do not know a lot about americans, but my brother who stayed for about 3-4 years observed a lot about them and made some very good observations. I would like to share the same with you. \nOne of the things that makes them ignorant is they are geographically isolated with most parts of the world. They are not in the tension or sensitive areas of the world like the Middle East or even the South Asia. So it is very difficult for them to comprehend the real issues. Their politicians are constantly messing up the things the world around by poking their nose where it is not required and the general public has to suffer the consequences. \nAt the same time their economy has managed to be so vibrant and sustaining that it has almost become a practice for it to ignore others and continue in its brash ways. So many cultures and nationalities have assimilated in the american culture that they think they have seen it all. Whereas, the world thinks they have a lot to learn and open up as well. \nBut they cannot continue in this path for long, because countries like India & China (which right now in a vast way dependant on US) can change the course of future. Americans have to be aware, already so many of their jobs are moving places. Its going to change. Its only a matter of time. They have to change whether its willingly or unwillingly. They cannot be ignorant in the world economy.

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.

Why they hate Americans is beyond me. You ask good questions and I find it offensive that idiots like to limit others opinions.. I know yours are always on the right track. Keep asking them and ignore them. I do at least while I laugh my silly bum off... See how easy that is.. I gave you a thumbs up too.. when I happen upon you.. Take care..

SOME American people act very stupid - also on Yahoo Questions. Their world is so small that they think America is the world. \n\nBut I think America as a country is playing a positive role in the world most of the time and I think American people are just like the people of any other country - some of them are intelligent and kind, and others not. There is nothing diabolical about America or Americans.

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 canadian and have worked in busy tourist towns off and on for several years. let me tell you, that some americans are the most ignorant people i have ever met. they are the only country that will come into the store and ask "is that in american dollars?" .....you're in CANADA. it's in CANADIAN dollars! and that is just the tip of the iceberg on dumb questions. from my experience with americans, they have the attitude that the world revolves around them. sorry, it doesn't.\n\n***Just to clarify, this isn't every american! many of them are very nice and smart and not ignorant at all!***

Because some people are ignorant hypocrites.

Because people hate what they don't know. It's really sad to see Americans say some things they do on here. It shows just how narrow minded we can be. It's a disgrace, and they're the ones who probably claim to be the most patriotic. Which is nothing but bs. Part of what makes this country so great is the diversity. Instead of such racism, they should show an eagerness to learn.

im from australia and some people here think that most americans (not all) have very bad manners and are very disrespectful. we think that some americans are selfish and think their 'all that'. but i'm not saying all americans. australia is just the same, our society is going downhill.

No they don't trust judgment too much, it's just that other politicians thinks that americans are idiots

Because many Americans (erroneously) assume that America is the greatest country on Earth and that every country wants to be like the U.S.  This decreases whatever motivation Americans might have to learn about other countries.  \n\nNot only do many Americans not know about other countries, but they are also pretty oblivious to a lot of America's history.  Namely, those things that we are not proud of.  How long did it take to free the slaves, grant black people the vote and the right to attend public schools (not specifically set aside for blacks).  How much fighting did it take for women to get the vote?  When did the American judicial system finally recognize spouse and child abuse?  When did our country finally realize that infants, toddlers, and young children do not seduce their fathers?  Of the homeless, which population is the greatest- veterans, mental health patients, or families with children.  Look these questions up- you will find the answers appalling.\n\nI am American, and I love my country.  However, I do recognize that our country has weaknesses and could stand to learn from other countries.
