I could understand how arrogance could be met with backlash, but never have I seen a thread with so much bashing of one country.

 

Come on, in its current state you have to admit its pretty low on the excellence scale.

Has it been better? Yes. But it's still one of the best countries in the world. The best? No, probably not. The best country would be impossible to determine because that's like saying what the best flavor of ice cream is. It's entirely opinion, and while some are clearly poor flavors, it mostly comes down to natural bias (a vanilla lover will claim vanilla is the best instead of just admitting it's his favorite).

I think it's just light hearted patriotism rather than arrogant boasting, so I don't see the need for all the bashing.
