The Americans I have met (mainly in the North East and California) have generally been very nice people. However I do not approve of many things about the USA as a country.

Its aggressive foreign policy is causing the world a multitude of problems and damaging the image of the entirety of the West.
Its legal system is utter bullshit, people can sue for anything and everything.
Its general view on many issues, mainly due to how conservative the USA is, runs strongly contrary to mine - gay rights, abortion, stem cell research, gun laws - those are all examples where I do not agree with the current USA laws.
Its current human rights issues - particularly Guantanamo Bay and the CIA operated foreign prisons (which they have, I believe, owned up to existing), holding prisoners for years without charge and using waterboarding and sleep deprivation is about as unethical as it gets.
