Were not stereotyping, if you clearly look at the very very first post, it specifically states some americans. Yes you have a Mexican, a German, and whatever on your street, but chances are the person operating the teller at WalGreens is completly daft.
In USA you see a lot of arrogent people, who have never left the country, but insist that USA is the best.
You also get a high % of brain dead people, specifically in rural towns in the south (Omg....I have a story for when my car broke down in hicktown New York, and my sister was naming the pimples on the mechanics face...She's not a child, he was just really ugly).
Ahh...anyway, enough US mockery, we could do this for too long.
P.S. I just want to mention something. You know the Internet Top Level Domains (TLDs), such as .uk and .ca? I bet if I went down the street in the USA and asked them what their TLD is, they would say .com LOL Americans are so arrogent, they think every company is American, so the .com domain is American. It's .us, and I'm glad to see a lot of international companies with headquarters in the USA starting to have a country/region directory on the main page when you type www.___.com

Firstly: I think the proper term would be ignorant. Most people wouldn't think a company is American because of arrogance. (assuming you meant to type arrogant.)
Secondly: Stereotyping 300 million people is... ignorant. Or ill-founded prejudice.
Thirdly: Reported. I find you're attitude versus America... distasteful.
OT: I would want to live in the UK. I envy there gun laws/attutide.

You're right, ignorant would have been the proper term, for that example, but in the example ZappyKins gave, that would be an example of Arrogence (Why would you want to leave the state)?
We're not sterotyping 300 million Americans, we clearly said some several times. Some usually refers to less then hald, so we're sterotyping <165 million Americans. I don't know what fractions of Americans would follow this stereotype, but from my experiences in Southern/Central USA, most people are like this, especially in rural towns. Rednecks are real, they aren't a stereotype, or an overexageration of flaws in specific individuals.
My attitude about Americans is distasteful, I wish I lived in Europe, LOL. I find USA Scary and Gross, except for Miami, which I love.
