text: Let me just say before I answer your question properly that I'm not American. I don't love America but I don't hate it for spurious reasons either.\n\nYou are wrong on several "facts".\n\n1) The explanation is that when the term "World's Championship Series" was first used in the 1880s, baseball was almost exclusively confined to North America, especially at a highly skilled (and paid) level. Thus it was understood that the winner of the major league championship was the best baseball team in the world. The title of this event was soon shortened to "World's Series" and later to "World Series".\n\n2) It is highly unlikely that nuclear weapons are made at Area 51. Even if they were (and that would be pure guesswork) it's almost impossible that they're made EXCLUSIVELY at Area 51. That would be stupid. Nukes are made at various secure military bases all over the United States.\n\n3) Most Americans, in my experience, are not arrogant. Many that I've met and spoken to are very nice, cordial and friendly. With a population of 300 million it stands to reason that a large number of Americans will be arrogant, just as in any other country, but I wouldn't agree that MOST Americans are arrogant.\n\nThe US Government, having the resources of the world's only remaining superpower at its fingertips, sure are arrogant bastards, however. They were quite wrong to invade Iraq, in fact, the USA has quite a bad track record at invading countries since WWII (which arguably they would not have entered into if it wasn't for Pearl Harbour - by the time they joined the war, the UK and its allies had done considerable damage to the Germans, although they didn't have many resources left to fight and the US invention of the atom bomb surely put an end to the war before more lives were lost).
