Arrogence, ignorance, power, greed, obesity, and nosiness. Too much pressure on the individual to marry and procreate. They use Christianity much like how the middle east uses Islam.
The majority of them are really nice people.
They are a VERY Xenophobic nation.

Pretty much the rest of the entire world either hates or just resents you. America's military intervention and cultural imperialism is seen as arrogant and aggressive. The unquestioning belief in 'democracy' and 'freedom' is tiresome and ignorant, and the justification for most of America's wars is flawed ideology or financial benefit.
And Edward I, America is the richest country in the world (as they don't hesitate to remind us over and over) their foreign relief is only in line with what every other developed nation gives. Their donations to 3rd world countries are only ever given with strings attached - usually adopting American ideology, such as making abortion and contraception difficult to obtain, embracing Christian religious beliefs, signing commercial contracts with American government or affiliated companies. eg. Bush refuses to offer government support to any AIDS charities that support condom use. I mean duh! That guy is seriously mentally retarded.
That is NOT charity or aid, it is buying ideological support from a country who has no power in the negotiation.

l agree with meggie, its all about world domination, super race, most things we hear on the news is about war/ American army etc so it is portrayed as a country that's dominated by war and control. mind you l would love to visit America but would also be quite hesitant as the crime / violence rates seem very high also, there seems to be a huge difference between poor and rich and living standards, l am relieved l am a aussie

I hope they consider the generosity of US. Natural disasters, grants and charity to third world countries, etc.
I doubt this will be mentioned.
