That would very much depend on where you voiced that opinion. I've seen people fight over less.

My wife is on her way round to you now.

But you don't have to be the dick, all you have to do is meet a dick who believes their country is the best and pow.

Those other countries may have been worse in some aspects than America but then the UK has many aspects that are superior to the US and I do not think the UK is the best, its ok.
Some Americans come to other countries and assume we are all in awe of them just because they are Americans.
The "we're better than you all" attitude is what grates, it really does.
Not all, some americans are very nice and I've worked with a fair few over the years, its the flag waving "Merica fuck yeah" yahoos that you meet that are tiresome.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
