I'm not from the USA, I don't live there and don't intend to, however I have no problems with the USA and think that people who want to be rude about the USA should look at the political structure of their own country first. If after that and they are still of the opinion that the USA is not for them then kindly state their country of residence for comparison.

Americans are rude, lazy, selfish and arrogant.  Yes, we should keep out of other countries' disputes.  You wouldn't want someone whose life is screwed up telling you how to run yours, would you?  America is a mess.  We have no business telling others what to do.  We should stay home and clean house here.

The possibility that patriotism can be bad is real. The idea that it is always and inevitable bad is very narrow minded thinking. \nSome, like myself, where not raised to be patriotic or even respectful of the country we where born. As an adult I am patriotic because I love my country. It is out of the respect for my countries most beloved beliefs that this patriotism was born out of. \nThe idiocy you spoke of is not entirely because of patriotism, much of the insanity is from just that, insanity. To lump up the crazed actions of many and put one label on it is again, narrow minded thinking. I don't mean this in a critical way, I think patriotism can be looked at from several perspectives and not only the one you speak of.

Im afraid your countrymen have ruined it for you. Not many people have any trust left.

I think we need to police our own selves first! Instead of worrying about every other country in the world, we need to use all the efforts to secure our own border, feed our hungry, house our homeless, etc.  In other words, start at home first, then once our home land is good again, then we can help others.

I would say not all foreigners ..maybe unrealistic but it would depend on what country they are from ..er which country..Just as the entire world has favs and non favs.. I think the non favs for countries already know who they are and why...If a nation is violent and not good for the world and the government..lies and steals..and kills innocent humans..well then.. it is not well liked ..or the people either..because the government is suppose to represent the people..So...it is the government that causes it and their people that pay for it.

Yes it is and I can't stand it. I think we should all be our own country and stay out of others..mind our own business...honestly...I think someone should hit that big red button and fix all the problems in 2 seconds. Wouldn't it make the world so much better?! haha!

You hit the nail on the head,other countries always claim that we are arrogant and we are too religious or not religious enough,we are too strict or not strict enough.They way I look at it..,dont worry about my backyard until you clean your own.

Nope. I think each government should try to reform their own country instead of poking their noses into the problems of their neighboring countries.

I don't think that there is anysuch thing as "good" country or a "bad" country and i agree with you that what can be ranked as "good " or "bad" is the government of that country. However, in our society, we tend to think that the countries that are better off financially are good countries even though we know that these so called good countries get all their money by exploiting the people in the bad or poor countries.

You do make a good point.  I am from the USA and it makes me sick how my country thinks it can export democracy and tell all the other countries in the world how to run themselves.  I think the USA needs to first fix the beam in its own eye in order to better help fix the motes in the eyes of others.

No. We are a country b/c we help when one part of us needs help. You wouldn't leave your best friend hanging, would you? Well, why should we leave part of our country left to fend for themselves. I'm sure you would want us to do the same for you.

You're kidding right?!  Most of the world's current problems have come about from coloured people like those who flew those planes into the World Trade Center and killed all those people!  And those who caused tge 7/7 bombings and caused me to be stranded in London.  And those who go around preaching hate and imposing their culture in the UK.  If they don't like it, they should bloody well go home back to their own countries!!!  When in Rome...

sounds like terrorism to me.   How could you want to declare war on your own country-if you don't like it emigrate!
