Well lets remember a couple things here.
1. Remember the fact that, the reason most of our laws are based off of religion, is because we were only a sub-country for a while. Our motherland was England, one of the most catholic-driven countries of the world. Part of the reason we still have those laws is to respect our origins as well as our own (as a countries) personal beliefs.
2. As someone has stated previously, do remember that we're the mutt country. We don't have a specific culture, the only thing we have is our marketing successes and accomplishments and industries such as mcdonalds, etc. But because of this, the reason we have arrogance is as a defense of the arrogance brought upon us.
For instance, how many stories have you heard of people from other countries working our jobs and taking our money then going back to their country and becoming rich. Everytime someone does that, it raises the arrogance of our forefathers because it makes us believe that we have the best economical value, etc etc.
3. America's history was pretty rocky. I mean, in truth, look at it like this, everyone wanted it when it was still a baby country, and when Brittian got it, they used us as an experimental field. Since all the other countries were having problems with their system, they tried something new. And in a matter of years, for a time we became the economical kings. That may not be the case now, but the US is still the place everyone wants to put their troubles on, and you know what, we take it, every single town CAUSE WE'RE THE HEROES
Ok on a more serious note, I don't hate or love my country, but I'd much rather be here the in some third world country. Seriously.

Thanks to my experience after playing with US citizens (especially the black people) I can say that my main complain is their arrogance especially the blacks (I mean at least the whites specify why they're mad while the blacks just go "IM GONNA KILL YOUR FAMILY! FUCK YOU!" and then ragequit). I don't hate the US or the US citizens but I despise the arrogance they carry around with them.
Then you hate black people, not the US.
Silly.
