Why does America think they own the world?

LOL until the world realizes that Germany has better and untapped resources than America, Then America will continue to Police the world.  We have the best technology and resources.  When our resources begin to deplete we will either take Germany's or die trying.  Until then, we rule the world cause everyone expects us to.  They want us to fix it's problems and want us to take blame for all that's wrong.  That's the cost of being rich and powerful.

I agree with you. Americans think that we can boss around every one we please. We have a severe case of nationalism, and arrogance.

Yes!!Take a closer look!! Through economics or politics, the U.S.already controls the world.Anyone who speaks out against them( Bush Administration)-France,Iraq,Iran,Venezuela-face invasion or some other form of retaliation. China is being courted,Cuba is being paid,Mexico has the illegal immigrant thing going on and there is no balance of power left. It would take the other countries banding together to stop this and they are kept distracted with internal turmoil or an unwillingness to put aside their long standing differences.What was your question again??Peace.

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.

they're basically jealous.  america is powerful, for some reason the rest of the world cannot separate the people from the govt.  and they don't like our govt.

Well A good question but not enough . Why is america caring about the whole world who gave the authority to america to bully around its only the nuclear and the latest mass destuction weapons it has that all those leading the country are shameless people can do anything for money and oil ..... They got a new issue to occupy the whole world by saying we love democracy and they kill every one who oppose them .. Even if some one ask for its own right and that is against the american policy he is surely in deep trouble belive me u can get enough evidence for this ... They killed million in afghanistan only as they wanted to hunt couple of 100's qaeda people who are so called sponsors of 9-11 attack. killed millions in iraq saying iraq is having mass destruction weapons so do u america y dont u get the hell out of arabs place and let us leave in peace ... when USA got exposed that no mass destruction weapon is there in IRAQ the fools tried to lie again saying we wanted to librate iraqis from saddam ... and now wants to stay in iraq as it fears iran could invade it and then supply lot of weapons to israel to eliminate iran and arabs around living in the horrors of israel ... lol funny this is that killing million in the name of al qaeda i dont no till when YOu america will tell lies to your people ...... shame on you ...

America is currently the largest consumer in the world economy and therefore exerts a lot of influence but no it does not control the world economy.

Because the U.S. is looking out for their own self-interest.  Screw the planet!  I also suspect that a lot of the people running the country are scientifically illiterate and/or morally bankrupt.

Lots of countries have the image of America as being all about consumption.  The french especially are often amazed by how much Americans eat, they can't believe portion sizes in restaurants for example.  They also feel that Americans in general do not have a strong sense of culture/history/art and takes a narrow view of world issues and events, based on our national self interest and wish for instant gratification.\n\nPoorer or developing countries often look at the general prosperity of America and its power and wonder why this country doesn't do more to help the rest of the world with problems like poverty, disease, etc.  It is true America does some, but very little in fact in proportion to its wealth.  In many other cultures there is a strong expectation that those who have a lot must support those who are in need, so America is often perceived as a selfish country.\n\nHope this helps but make sure you use your own words to do your report.

Because the US is a prick who thinks they can control the world. The US is like the evil person in James Boind movies. They think they are very powerful and want to take over the world. Iran is like James Bond. In they end the evil person dies and Bond gets laid.

They got back what they said was stolen from them!Back around 1947 me thinks! Good Luck! Its only these superstitious groups of simpletons who think this way,The united States would control all of Europe and all the islands in the pacific,Philippines,Japan,the list can go on and on.You people need to work this out without this superstition or the US should take all your land and end this stupidity.I am beginning to think,after reading this bullshi* that all religion is evil because you all think the other is bad wrong and evil.LOOK IN THE MIRROR! Nobody owns anything this place is Gods!

cos there just silly americans who think america is the whole world

Thats the point !!! ........ they think they're the world and nobody else exists, americans are selfish and stuck up in themselves and then they dont even want to share what they have, you can see that in their strict inmigration laws. Thats why they have so many enemies across the world, many countries hate them some of them dont tell that openly because of diplomacy but they do. Cause americans think they're the big s**t and every where they go they think every one is there to serve them. But one day the nation will fall like any other in history and their ego will fall with them.

Truth to tell, first world (or what now are called the industrialized countries) are socially stratified just like societies themselves are.  In a society, you have the filthy rich and the dirt poor.  The filthy rich like to stay that way, so they offer "answers" to problems so they look like they're working for the people who need the help the most, but in actuality, they're not...they're maintaining if not increasing their power.  As you've noticed, the world is becoming a global community more and more every day.  The same thing has happened on the global level.  There are the rich, industrial countries who don't want to lose their power and influence.  Therefore, they offer "solutions" to problems which don't work...and honestly, weren't meant to work.  I have no idea what third world (developing) nations could do to better their situation, but they definetely need to stop letting the United States run their governments, economies, and such.  And this is coming from an American.  America is really doing its darndest to be the policeman of the world-trying to keep everyone playing on our terms, and its really starting to make some influential people REALLY mad.  Maybe if they'd all get mad together, something good would happen.

Wow i would never have thought someone would think that could be a good thing.\nThe USA CAN INDEED conqueur the world\nwho would stop them? they have the most efficient deadly military in the world... the most advanced weapons... they know all the secrets of the world and beyond our planet that we do not... their allies go far beyond what we think we know. World leaders are all of the same bread.. they dont care what the world is called all those power hungry assholes care about is having us all on a leash. Im happy that in the middle east at least SOME PEOPLE are fighting for freedom. \nIt fkn pisses me off to think that people encourage the war that is going to lead to our demise and continue to send their children and themselves to fight for a force that doesnt give a shit about you or anyone you know.\n\nWHY would you want to be slaves?\nThe day people everywhere begin to see that being a good thing is the exact same day we forfeit all our rights.... you might as well just kill urself if ur going to be that fkn stupid.. let the rest of us who want a decent world for the future of man take care of things

That is an interesting point about America from its neighbour. It is a pity that Americans have not earned the good will of even one of his neighbours. They need to have a re look at their international relations and relations with their neighbours.
