1) Because they are a war-like people with xenophobic leaders who trade in the politics of paranoia;
2) Because of decades of destructive, interventionist activities by the US CIA in South American and African lands;
3) Because of the hypocrisy of claiming to be a republic at the same time as they pursue an aggressive imperialist policy across the glove;
4) Because of their selfish dishonesty in dealing with other states in diplomatic and economic matters;
5) Because of their pretentiousness, unwarranted haughtiness, contemptuous disregard for others, and innate immaturity;
6) Because they are, at present, an intolerant, crypto-fascist sate masquerading (ineffectually) as a democracy.

Poor foreign policy is to blame: America has been consistantly going into smaller countries and controlling their actions for decades. Whether with economics, threat or military might, it is usually for the good of the States, not the country in question. It's been going on for so long that even when the US tries to do good in the world, they're still seen as bullies today. This is due to stereotyping and media reinforcing of the "mean, greedy American". Although this stereotype isn't at all deserved imo (though I might say "satisfied, ignorant American who doesn't realize what their government does to other countries"), it seems to be popular.
It's like, how Americans have this strange belief that French == Coward. They've held it for years (since WWII?), despite all evidence to the contrary. It still shows up in media all the time, from cartoons to CNN, and millions of people believe it.
So I guess the French are cowards, and Americans are arseholes, until such time as people (or the media that educates them) start thinking for themselves instead of just propagating old stereotypes.

you know what, i'm an American living foreign places, and that i've got asked this same good question, time and time lower back! i know somebody who rants on and on approximately president Bush, the yank mentality, the yank custom, a lot, that he even does so for the time of holiday journeys and kinfolk gatherings like Christmastime! Why spend a lot time and power on hating American mentality and custom and way of existence? Why waste all that element? Then, he turns to the subsequent individual and says that he's sending all his childrens to nursing college for the only objective of at last procuring a working visa to grow to be nurses in the U.S. end then at last procuring green playing cards! ha! it is so profoundly difficult and stupid, that I frequently seem at him, and tilt my head because of the fact I in basic terms don't understand him! Ridiculous! Why do i think of he's like that? nicely, i think of that he focuses a lot, and options a lot on something and each little thing adverse concerning the yank people who he probably can, yet nevertheless, it does not outweigh the certainty that he's ordinary with that his little ones could have a greater effectual destiny, greater effectual lives, greater effectual existence sort, while they get to usa! He thinks that if in basic terms he have been born and raised there, if in basic terms his childrens have been born and raised in usa, they had be a lot greater effectual off. in short, it rather is,like, "i can do usa greater effectual than those no-good people!"

They are not...
Best judge of a country is to look at how many people
are trying to get into it and how many are trying to get
out of it...
America has people from around the world doing
anything they can to get into America, legally or illegally.
America has 12 million illegal immigrants...

Because the American government has tried its hardest to police the globe, and that includes meddling in everyone else's affairs. And we have tried to force Americanized captitalism on the rest of the world.

That's the great thing about being an American, we really never cared what the world thought of us, and we don't now.

Cause we play the role of global police and attack other countries that do not pose a threat. We also support countries that are seen as invaders by arabic xenophobes.
