Why do so many non-Americans get offended by American...

...opinions of our own country? Why do you care? You don't see Americans asking why the French think they have the best wine?

  • Some of you pretentious folk ought to be taken down a notch or two for how disgustingly nationalistic you are, including non-Americans. Consider it etiquette.

  • Because it's undeservedly self-indulgent to the point of parody.

  • America at the center of the world can't have the cake and eat it too! Want to have a large control over world politics? Go ahead. Want to do so without criticism or foreign opinions? You're dreaming. Also, political events in the USA heavily influence other countries, so it is in someone's interest to follow them.

  • "Beaner get off of CoD and go back to the fields where you belong." "I'm Asian." "Ching chong, go back to china and make shoes for us!" "Give me your Xbox then. I probably made it and I deserve to take it back since it's my property." "OMG U FXXERDF I'LL KILL YOU WITH MY GUN" My daily encounters with the average "American" of any online multiplayer game on Xbox Live.

      • I don't think it's so much about the opinions they have of themselves, but moreso opinions they have of other countries, and the fact they "tend to think" their country is superior to the rest. However there are people from every country who think the same way, I guess it's just more common with Americans? I honestly try not to be so judgmental.

          • Because they're usually such obnoxious and overzealous opinions that are fervently defended through circular and egomaniacal pretentiousness.

            • Because ignorance and arrogance can exist everywhere, not just in one nation. It's usually those who speaks the loudest that represents the face of us all.

            • I now read All statements made by Americans with Alan Jackson playing in the background and a bald eagle shedding a single tear in my mind. The USA is the greatest country in the world and has no obvious flaws. The 10% of the population that is unemployed in the country is obviously just not working hard enough, the 15% of the population living below the poverty line just need to get more jobs and stop whinging guys! The fact is that you can't self proclaim that you're the greatest nation in the world when you have such glaring social, medical and financial problems. It's the guy with a small penis driving a massive car to try and prove to himself that it doesn't matter on a national scale

                • Because their criteria for greatness are different from others', and if others' don't conform to their own, they get all uppity and rambunctious.
