Loaded question
Submitted By: ratley ( 313 days, 4 hours, 17 minutes ago )
This is a loaded question. You seem to imply that because of a few bad people, America (I'm assuming you mean the United States North and South America are continents) is "ignorant" as a whole. You show your own ignorance by posting to a question site to further your rhetoric.
Submitted By: eidosabi
I agree completely with ratley. I would also add, that the many of the bad people that you have in mind, act they way they do, because of comments like yours.

meh, i don't know if it's so much BECAUSE of people like him, as it is about protecting our own interests. we can be as arrogant and prick
Submitted By: johnnicely
ish as we want. it is OUR country after all, and if we feel the compulsion to defend our interests that is our right to do so. nobody can tell us that we absolutely MUST be tolerant of the beliefs of terrorists, of all people, because to force us to be tolerant is self defeating because it involves intolerance of our beliefs in the first place. not that i necessarily agree with the bush administration's decision to invade iraq.

America is sorry you feel that way
Submitted By: Civilian ( 313 days, 4 hours, 13 minutes ago )
America is not trying to control the world, its too bad you feel that way. But the way to promote global integration is not by promoting prejudice, and name calling. If you wanted America to work with the rest of the world it doesnt make you look like a person we would want to work with.

Selfishness
Submitted By: Sethor ( 310 days, 17 hours, 58 minutes ago )
I think it's mainly because of how selfish Americans are.    Too many Americans think only of themselves.
Submitted By: Jergens

Well most of the other answers I thought were dealing with the American government.  And the fact is that most Americans themselves don't even like their government's actions right now!

Then this nitwit comes around and blasts American citizens!  I think most people realize that Americans, on the whole, are good people.  Maybe a tiny bit more self-centered than Europeans, but that's only because for most of us, our nearest neighboring country isn't less than 300 miles away.  We're not forced to think of other countries by geography.  But most of us ARE concerned with how other countries view us...
