I'm probably either 1 - going to get lots of flaming comments on this, 2 - trollpatrolled, or 3 - banned, but I really REALLY just want to open some minds.

First of all, I'm Canadian. Canada is a US ally, and as they say - you can tell a true friend when he calls out your BS.

Okay, so here goes. You guys are arrogant. I'm not sure if Americans see this as a bad thing, but the main reason why many countries hate the US is its arrogance. Ever see movies where there's always an arrogant, dis-likable mofo who in the end gets his butt kicked or karma catches up to him? Yeah.

Instead of the 'sleeper' fast cars, you guys are more like... the ricers who pulls up next to anybody just to rev the engine.

It's really a culture thing. There are quite a few other countries who are doing well for themselves but choose not to cowboy-it-up.
