I as an American find it offending too, but it's just the common stereotype. Just like we look at Middle Eastern Muslim nations as explosive experts, and Asian people as really smart and video game freaks, Southern Americans working their farms, etc. I do have to agree though that Americans are mostly disrespected. I find this to happen because everyone hates the Superpower nation. People always hate the best, but there are actually good reasons to hate Americans. Such as bossing other nations around by having American troops stationed in many nations, when it's unnecessary. That though is the governments fault, not American citizens. It's a stereotype though, and unfortunately it goes to everyone when it's a stereotype. I used to hate all Muslim people, until I realized it's only the extremists who kill other people, not EVERY Muslim. People just need to quit being ignorant and realize that it's not everyone, it may be the majority, but not everyone.

Welcome to the generalization of every country. If you can name a conformist country in which everyone is a great citizen and doesn't make mistakes, then please let me know.
How can you claim the majority of Americans are idiots, last time I checked America was in the top 10 richest countries in the world and money making requires some skill/intelligence. We have a GPD- per capita of 43,500K.
The media always blows subjects out of proportion, it's their job. Nothing is bad, it's just the media attempting to layout the facts.
Us Americans didn't all elect Bush, remember that half the people voted for Gore. He really didn't fuck up the world, he just attempted to do what was necessary to protect the common wealth. It relates back to the theory of protecting and aggression before action is taken by the opposing side. We never blamed it on anyone, if so please let me know who. We are doing everything in our power to fix whatever problems came about, hence the election of Obama. You should also remember that the world relies on the US's economy largely, due to resources and trading. Without the "stupid" Americans' overall economic success, you would be in a greater hole than you're in now.
Why do you hate America?

Wow, to the person saying most Americans are idiots or w/e, that insults me! Every country has a mixture of different kinds of people, America is not full of idiots. Every country has different people inside the country, now the government on the other hand would be something to talk about in each country. But not the country as a whole. =D
I completely agree with Fat Lard.
Honestly, I hate how britfags come in here and think they know more about America than the people who live here. I bet I have a higher IQ, get better grades, and have better standardized test scores than 95% of the brits/aussies/whatever on this site. Oh, and I'm an American, fancy that.
Honestly, if you are going to be a bigot, get some facts before doing so. You fail to realize that generalizations just make you look like the moron.
EVERY country has the same exact problems that America has. EVERY country does the same exact things that we do. You just fail to realize that we do it openly, while you guys keep it behind closed doors.
That is a generalization. Do you honestly think that footage isn't edited at all? They interview 200 people, take the 10 dumb fucks that gave stupid answers and only play that.

That is true, as we now have a democrat president. You seem to either be a Republican or Independent, Irrational. As I could careless, some people lack the intelligence to not force their belief on another individual.
You state:
Don't forget, the older of the two major parties today, Democrats are those Americans who believe in government by the people. As stated in the Preamble of the United States Constitution, this nation’s government was founded to be by, of, and for the people. Democrats strive to support this idea and to protect it.
Democrats believe in rights of the individual citizen. These rights include life, liberty, dignity, security, equality of opportunity, justice, privacy, and private ownership of property. To summarize, Democrats believe that each American citizen should have the right to all of the above things without interference from other citizens or the government.
Oh, if your going to point out the con's of a statement don't forget to state all of them. Did you forget that, Mr. George W. Bush had oil oversea's? Are you aware, Mr. George W. Bush had requested off-shore oil drilling? Bush's approval was twenty-five percent. Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton left office with ratings more than twice as high.
Well there are a few things I hate about america which I guess I will try my best to explain and im sure some annoying person is gonna probably come up with some bullshit about what i've said.
1) You think you run the world, Yes you have alot of military power but lets face it every chance america has poked into other countries business it's become a complete shambles.
2) General religion, America is mostly christian faith which is fine but when someone who is different religion they get treated like scum and I know this happens in every country but with America I believe it is the worst.
Also on a personal note get your shitty gospel channels of my sky digibox.
3) Ignorance to issues that your country has caused/helped, Ok now America has made things around the world bad in alot of different ways but will not even attempt at fixing those issues from what I have seen/heard.

I'm independent. I believe in liberty, and the far left, and the far right want to take some of my rights away.
Privacy for the far right, and my right to own a firearm for the far left.
Why then, do they keep trying, and trying to disable my right as a common law abiding citizen, to not own a firearm?
Why then, do demorats want to minimize the military?
Why then, do most democratic judges tend to not want death sentences for murderers?
Why then, do demorats want to minimize the military?
Why then, do democrats want to infringe on my rights to be a capitalist, isn't that was this country was based on, and why the colonization of North America even started for?- Profit and personal gain?
Why then, did the democrats push banks to set out more loans for black/hispanic families? This started to lead to a shattered housing market, did it not?
Go into Iraq/Iran/Afghanistan and yell "I'm a Christian!"
I have no doubt you will be taken and shot.

I think people who hate ANYONE from a country that isn't theirs, is ignorant.
We all have different cultures.
For example, i hear a lot of American hate, and when i ask why its always a reason that they have no background knowledge on at all.
Education is the key.

People take birthplaces so serious, we all do dumb shit and act stuck up at times, who gives a shit.

You're using stereotypes to prove that we aren't stereotypical? Irrational, as are most of your other posts.
I'm not being stereotypical, but statistical.
Most middle-eastern countries are Muslim dominated, no?
Here's a quote from the Qur'an.
“They will have no choice, but to die or embrace Islamâ€

Why does every American think they have a RIGHT to own a gun, just for the sake of having a gun? Why does every American think that Muslims are suicide bomber terrorists?
Republicans, that's why. (Not all of them, but a lot of them)
Also, Americans are Caucasian, THAT'S a race, and Brits, Canucks and Yankees and Russkies all fall under the category. More proof Americans think they're the best. You think American is a race, you think American is a language, and you think America is the best country in the world. It's not. It's a crime-ridden polluted shithole, filled with gun freaks, holy-rollers, Muslim-haters and Hummer-driving assholes.
I pulled an American on America, time and space paradox plx

Have you read the Bill of Rights?
It states, that it is my right to own a firearm, and that right shall not be infringed. By taking them away, that is an infringement on the Constitution.
And for the rest- good thing I'm Libertarian.

Just because you have a right doesn't mean you need one. Needing a firearm is impractical, there's nothing legal (minus hunting, in California there's not much to hunt) to do with them.
Right = wrong
Privilege = right
Why? Just because some guy back in the days of muskets said people should have them, at the time it was a part of life that was necessary, these days you don't need a gun to walk down the street. If you do, fucking MOVE. Privilege is the better way, you have a privilege to own a gun, no problems.
