The other day someone made an interesting comment. He stated that we deserve everything because "America kicks @**."
Why do you think other countries do not like or support us? Do you think it is because of this attitude? Do we have reason to believe this? Are we really as great as we say we are?
Granted we have much, much more than most countries, but does that make us spoiled, whining babies who exert our power when someone else disagrees?
Would you want to live anywhere else?
I pose a lot of questions here and I would like to start an intelligent conversation.

of course we have a reason to be arrogant clearly we are better then the rest of the world i mean we were the deciding factor in both of the world wars i mean when youre the best youre the best plain ans simple
I believe that other countries may be jealous of the amount of freedom and opportunities that we have and if I could move to another country , I would live in Toronto (still supporting Buffalo teams of course!).
Intelligence is overated first of all. and the reason everyone hates America is because we just rule. We can take over anyone we want, take all their oil and bomb all their little people. you wait and see, Canada is going to be taken over and so is South America and all of the connecting lands will be USA. And there will be no more Canadian National Anthem. But i think we will make a remix song and put both the American and Canadian anthem together in a rap song.
other countries do not support us because they know we will bomb the F*** outta them if they screw us over. the goverment makes up reasons to tell the people of america why we are there. We just mess around killing anything that moves. Throw gernades, blow off legs and arms and laugh about it. Noone in america stops to think if it makes sence about what the goverment says we are in there for. Oil... fine... there is no reason we need to be in iran or iraq...(whereever we are... i stoped paying attention) for this long.... grab some damn oil get the hell outta there. Not only are we killing their people... but ours for no god damn reason what so ever. i say... "F*** america" we suck if you stop and think about it...
sorry i'm canadian so i can't really help you on that.If i could live anywhere i would have to live in paris or london.
Ither countries have no reason to be pissed at us because we help every country in the world basically. If we concentrated on just us for like 10 years we would be so far ahead of every other country in every statistic. America needs to get it's head out from between the Middle eastern's legs and instead back in America
I dont think that we have the right to be arrogant we are good but not that good, but as for other countries looking at us like a devil, thats bs we we help this world alot and have major effects so, you cant outweigh all the good with bad
i think that some people support the USA. But just recently i was considered Canadian, but whatever. I think canada is pretty cool, and i like going up there every so often. I think that some countries mite be jealous of the USA but i who knows. But if i could live anywhere, i would want to live in Albuquerque NM. that place is beautiful! i like it down there! but i'm gonna live in Onondaga.
i really hate the Bush administration and i feel that its under that administration that gives a lot of people that attitude. i feel like he has been using the last eight years to impose war on other countries not for any legitimate reason but simply to bully smaller countries around. we've been in the middle east for far too long now, we never accomplished what we went there to accomplish in the first place which was finding Osama and getting rid of the Taliban so why are we in Iraq when there is no war to fight it seems like we are just chillng there just trying to tell there people what to do. long story short i think that our country has been on a power trip for the last 8 years and i can't wait for a new DEMOCRATIC president!
America is sweet. We can do almost anything we want. We are better then everyone else. If they wanna mess with us then they would probably get destroyed. No one can beat America in a fair fight.
I'm not sure that just because we are Americans that we are entitled to being arrogant. I believe people who are arrogant will be arrogant, maybe America harbors more arrogant people than anywhere else, but that doesn't make it right. I believe that many Americans have a sense of security due to their nation (believe they will kick in during times of need and will not have harm brought about them by other countries during their everyday routine), but insecurity in the fact that they believe we are the best of the best because we are awesome and have no real reason to support thier views.
America is honestly the best country to live in. Alot of other countries only see what they can and many have never actually been to the USA. Most countries think we're fat and stupid. If they knew what the USA was actually like then they'd be pissed and become dpressed knowing the kind of life that we get to live every day. They'd be jealous.
i think people dont like us because we have so much and dont do anything with it.
i wouldnt want to live anywhere else because were number one.
i dont know what we will all do if some day another country is better than us and we have to listen to someone else.
We are the number 1 country in the world so we are aloud to be arrogant. Then again kids our age want everything given to them where as our parants worked for everything that they have.
no we don't have the right arrogant cause we are not different.
personally, i don't think that we deserve everything just cuz we're american. i feel that we should share our wealth goodness with other countries, which is what we do. yeah we are whiny babies and spoiled, yet we have poverty and stinky homeless people and bad stuff just like any other country. every country has its pros and cons. if other countries can have pride so can we, we can be arrogant to an extent.
first of all i think without native americans there would be no america so we deserve some credit ha jk but really i think america is ok but not as good as they make them selfs sound thats why other countrys dont like us and i think it is because of are attitude that we think where better then everyone i dont think we are as good as we say we are
Let's put on the thinking caps, little Gowanda lambs--some of you should have grown into sheep years ago. America is better than, say, the poorest areas of Sudan; it's better than North Korea and Darfur and all the lovely places you see on The Moving Picture Box, but eating a slice of stale bread is far better than drinking paint. Being good doesn't make us the best.
Big business rules here, followed closely by religion. We're at war over oil, our pollution levels aren't improving, and we still haven't converted to the metric system. We haven't adopted socialized health care, so despite what Mr. Bohn told you all there are people dying of diseases their insurance companies refuse to pay for.
You can stay here if you'd like. If things haven't improved by the time I leave college, I'm seeking my fortunes far afield.
America sucks. Everyone in America thinks they are so good and the best and so cool. You're not. Denmark is the best.
a lot of americans say: america is the greatest country in the world - but most of them havent been to any ther country? dont get me wrong: america is a great country with nice people - and the best food in the world. if you see the satistics youll find a lot of best countries: the best educationsystem: finnland the richest average citizen: norway - the biggest democracy: india - oh and dont forget the danes: they are the happiest!! :D i personally dont think there is a country is the "best" - every country has his values and its good to be proud of his own country als long as you dont think that your country beeing good makes all the others bad (because thats dangourous!!!)
Bees4ever, you hit the nail on the head. It's all a matter of perspective and taste.
