It's your attitude. Your arrogance.
So some aid to Pakistan and some rescued Iranian fishermen suddenly outweigh all the negatives?
Those things are good, but it's this expectation that everyone should love you.
I am incredulous that many Americans on this site seem incapable of understanding where the hatred comes from. I think a lot of it stems from an ignorance of your own history and believing that the United States is in fact the centre of the universe.
The sheer contempt many Americans show for other nations on this site is hypocritical.
I find it interesting that out of all the haters on this thread, no one has held up another country ( preferably one they live in presently) as a shining example of something better.

Umm, here in the US we speak English...a different dialect or pronunciation as our BROTHERS but it is still English. And I am American, not Americant.
No, in the US you speak a language so far removed from our own, it is an insult to have it associated with ours. And I prefer to call you Ameri#s.

We have asked numerous times where they are from, yet they will not answer. Proves to us that they know this country is a better, more free place to live.

The UK just rolls over when US wants to extradite someone - the latest being a case where the 'crime' of the accused is not actually a crime in the UK.

Really, you base your understanding of the US on TV SHOWS!
Sorry, but you are not too bright.
Go back to your TV, and let the adults talk.

Arrogance?
Lets get to the definition,shall we?
: an attitude of superiority manifested in an overbearing manner or in presumptuous claims or assumptions
The claims I made are not overbearing. Americas Yoke are not carried by England,France,or the rest of the World. Americans as a people, are hard working. Generous.Just getting by. Loved? Everyone wants to be loved,and I would say that if there was more love in the world,we wouldnt have half the problems we have today.
Contempt for happiness is usually contempt for other people's happiness, and is an elegant disguise for hatred of the human race.~Bertrand Russell
When it comes down to History,throwing the yoke off our English masters,as many country's did at one time,has made America what it is today. Not perfect,a work in progress,and a Country that is always first to lend a hand.
If that is arrogant,then I am sure MANY Americans,wear that badge with pride.
