USA: capitalist, and produces more agricultural products than the next two countries combined\n\nChina: socialist, and mines significantly more material from the earth than any other country...\n\nI'm not sure what it all means anyways...

China, like many other nations in the world, feel that the USA is an arrogant young power which does not realize that the Chinese civilization has been around for quite a while; thousand of years. So they expect the American government to facilitate the creation of a relationship of mutual respect and above all not to meddle in China's sphere of influence.

dire. our species has always insisted on a top down/pyramid leadership (a person or small group on top with the power decreasing down the base. this insures a tyrant. usa was a new idea, but we evolved it into a repeat of previous forms of governments.

A lot of us think you're arrogant and bent on world domination. And we get most of our milk locally as we have an abundancy of farms, and we get most of our gas from Alberta.....but nice try, girl who said that.\nAnd we don't really feel indebted regarding a nuclear shield or missile defense system due to the fact we don't antagonize other countries, and therefore don't need to fear anyone. But that's what some of us think about America.\nAmericans, on the other hand, are probably fine people. The government is a few people among millions, therefore it's unfair to label each american due to what their country does. But yeah, I doubt I can intelligently enhance my argument further so I'll end here. Sorry if I upset anyone.

HATE is a very strong word, but along such negative sentiments, perhaps it's because the U.S. has a very aggressive foreign policy that involves itself in the affairs of other nations, often times for its own interests above those of those countries. According to the President's last State of the Union address, this progressive and competitive edge is what affords Americans a certain lifestyle which, often times, is unavailable in those "hateful" countries. The U.S. comes across as "arrogance" at times and in many cases, just "ignorant' of other countries.\n\nOf course, there are religious assumptions as well. And what exactly you mean by "Americans"... in general?

No reaction. I wouldn't CARE. USA is a big butthead these days. I mean, I LIVE in USA but they're getting a little too arrogant according to other countries.

technically, there is only one "United States" but you are right in that there are several countries with translations equating. Most, however, are "the United State of..." Any country in itself can be called a state, and thus would be a United State.

it's not ignorance, it's arrogance. and it isn't all the americans, but it is deffinately a large group who thinks the whole world evolves around the USA, and they need no knowledge of the rest of that world. i've met americans who think Afhanistan is the capital of Iraq.\n\nThe arrogance is even proven in some of the answers above. they attack you on ur english. maybe ur native language isn't even english, but they would never even concider that fact, bcs the world ends for them at the borders of the USA.\n\n(they will probably attack my english too now, but hey, who cares? english is only my fifth language, far behind dutch, german, french and romanian)\n\nsometimes i wish Columbus had taken another turn in 1492.\n\nof course there are also a lot (and i mean A LOT) of normal, friendly open-minded americans. met them, seen them and respect them highly. but most of those people i met, agree mostly with my points made here.

Well, first you need to do your homework and decide for yourself what Americans value. Is it freedom? Material goods? Their rights? Food? Deciding on something may help you find an items to present. This sounds like a tough question. You may not find the *perfect* answer, but you can put some thought into it and then be prepared to defend what you chose.\n\n("I chose food because Americans can't seem to stop overindulging in it even though it causes health problems and will be a huge drain on our resources.")

Speak for yourself.  You're to fat, lazy, and stupid to type or spell  correctly.  And your opinions reflect your stupidity and laziness.  America is the greatest country on earth.  We have done more good for the world than all other countries put together.

The people of Canada and Mexico don't get upset...this is an internally fabricated gripe.\n\nAmerican is the abbreviated name for United States of Americans and not necessarily a self-given name. \n\nPeople all over the world abbreviate USA Citizens as this.\n\n...Just as people all over the world abbreviate United States of Mexico citizens as Mexicans.. \n\n...actually they would also be able to claim the title of United Statesians \n\nThe "USA is arrogant to call themselves Americans" controversy is a nonsensical inspiration of USA bashers
