great. u explained yourself.

first of all, we dont hate you, we hate your system, we hate the way you dont care, the mentality of i'll pay tomorrow. you do it collectively. your media is there to inform, but lately you have become yr media. the one that is interested only in some material wealth or power to control and of course, the fall of it.

but whatever you "have" i think we are getting it to.

you are the power behind your government and media. europeans DON'T watch Fox News. and you are still proud of what your government dose. still proud for big cars, now you running out of gas. still proud of your Dollar, now it is doomed to fall. WAKE UP. you are a country to become a 3rd world with the largest nuclear arsenal.

but you just sit in your couch and drink some fine american beer.

by the way: i still love you.

It is very sad that there is so much hatred, the people of the world should not hate the people of America. I do not hate the people of any country.
The problem lies with politicians who should be working for their countymen who are paying them handsomely, these days, someone else is obviously paying them more, to do something else.
Every country needs a mechanism in place to remove from office any Government or individual who does not honor their election promises.
May God Bless the Good People of America,
and woe betide those who betray them.

Hi encoder,you said,
you are the power behind your government and media.
I ask you, are you in power behind your government and media?

europeans DON'T watch Fox News. and you are still proud of what your government dose.
Not every American is proud of what there government dose.
Are you proud of what your government dose?

WAKE UP. you are a country to become a 3rd world with the largest nuclear arsenal.
If so, what you think will happen then?

but you just sit in your couch and drink some fine american beer.
In my opinion, what you said here is absolute wrong.

by the way: i still love you.
?

You attack in my opinion is very unjust, and especially on an American who is so honest to come with a thread like this.

Dear Ape God,

Why everyone hates America? Well consider this:
Since its creation, the United States has been
an aggressive Nation. The first settlers exterminated
all opposition to their invasion by gun and disease.
Taking advantage of noble and wise people that lived in
complete harmony with their environment. The Red man was
viewed as little more than an animal and exterminated and
confined to reservations, where their culture of respect
for the land was corrupted and latter completely forgotten.

The 13 colonies then expanded west and south, always by
the power of the gun, leaving nothing but death and bringing
in the trash of the old continent to colonize the land,
as if it was empty from the beginning. To do all the work the
white man does not like to do, you brought black people to serve
as your slaves. Hunting these peoples like animals in their
continent where they lived free lives, also in harmony with
their environment.

Your nation grows by exploiting every natural resource to depletion.

You mentioned the world wars, as if it was out of kindness
the fact that Americans participated. USA knew well that a
united Europe under Germany will be to powerful to deal with.
So you joined the Russians to crush the Germans by sheer numbers,
fully aware that German weapons and soldiers where vastly superior.
The USA is the ONLY nation in the world that has used its nuclear
arsenal, and as if that wasn’t enough: AGAINST CIVILIAN POPULATION.
How can you still defend that?, no one understands. Yet you keep
telling the world that other nations are dangerous and should not
have the right to defend themselves with nuclear arms.

When the twin towers collapsed in New York, and you could hear
women screaming live on CNN; millions others were thinking:
...well, now THEY know how it feels...

As long as your government (elected and supported by YUO), keeps bombing
entire countries 'back to the stone age' (as your brave generals say), you
can be sure there will always be thousands (perhaps millions) eager to
rain death and pain back at the USA.

Do you really don’t know why the world hates you?(and hate IS the right word).
Is it so hard to understand that for some people outside
the USA money and sex are not the most important things in life?

Just take a look at some of the answers (obviously from Americans) you get in this thread.
Arrogance and Ignorance are the most common attributes of the Americans.
Of course am not talking about scientific ignorance -(although you
also may want to consider that the last 60 years of technological development
are based on theories and work done by people that USA brought
sometimes by force into its borders)- am talking about complete
disregard for others peoples way of life.

Believe me when I say the world will be a much better place when the US comes down.

I would agree with this statement. However, what will take its place? And will the world be better off with the new regime then what we have now? I hope so.

Nope.. The U.S. and the rest of the world can coexist in peace if the powerful elite are dismantled and all countries be control by the people.

I have had time to read more reply posts. So far not one person has made a factual comparison of crime in relation to an equivelant country or even a downsized equivilant of a smaller country. Most everything mentioned is baseless with no conection to reality of the good and bad things that will happen whenever the domino begins to tip. A lot of you need that hug from that guy from Romania.

The American Congress is a cesspool of filthe put there by people who vote for the lesser of two evils. You people scream change is needed but the roaches in Congress are there for greed and power for themselves and their elitist family's. It will take death and violence because they have too much at stake. How it transforms into happening is anybody's guess but I look forward to it.



When a foreign entity takes these two out they will still have a goofy look on their face.

Well, I'm relatively sure that the US wont be around in a decade, as it will be in Civil War or God knows what. But you all can enjoy whatever fill the vacuum. (Sarcastic laugh)

Oh everybody hates everybody,

I wanted to know if there had been a poll taken on this I hate america, thingy,

www.timesonline.co.uk...

Gerard Baker: The US grass is still greener
People might hate America but that doesn't mean they wouldn't move there




There were some interesting comments.

Throughout the web I noticed americans are the only overweight people on the planet.

There are some very petty reasons to hate

fast food?


England the home of the beatles has issues with popular music?

[edit on 063030p://bThursday2007 by Stormdancer777]

I'm not saying I want anything to happen to the United States...as in people being killed and the country destroyed. I want our current government replaced with a new one. People who aren't corrupt. I think we could also do without huge multi-national corporations as well.

Wishful thinking.

The US corporate machine has become so massive that NOTHING will stop it until it destroys itself(which will eventually happen). The power elites have become so arrogant that they probably believe they can dodge bullets. They have become the masters of manipulation, deception, murder and propaganda, and they are getting away with it(with the help of the media) with incredible ease.

The electoral process has become an absolute joke. Ron Paul is the only hope to restore any kind of balance in this country, but any realist will tell you that no matter what, Ron Paul will never be president.

i mentioned that: what you got we got it to.

so europeans are becoming like you. we elect the ones we shouldn't.
im not saying that ats members are proud or every single american is proud. most of it are, like we.

and as american people by now:

we have ample reason not to be proud.
we can't control our government and media.
and we love beer to on the couch.

and for some reason we don't care anymore.

don't you ever believe that it's only the US doing bad thins in this world. every single government is in this.

sorry for being so cruel, but what was the main reasons for emigrating to america?

that is what most of you have in your blood, at least you cared. and since JFK the care is gone. it was the american peoples disappointment in the system. my mother loved K. we where with you as one when we stepped on the moon.

you don't make that kind of gifts anymore. america is no longer representing the humans as humans should be. they now represent humans as what they become, to please some evil few. and the world goes with it.

i just hope we get out of this brainwash.
unconditional love and understanding might be the tool, but almost none of us can even imagine this anymore..

a large part of the resentment and hatred, which really has been ignored in this thread, is the fault of the american tourist.

maybe the US only allow really stupid obnoxious people to go to other countries, i don't know, but every american tourist i've ever met can be summed up with those two words.

i know they're not really as stupid and obnoxious as they seem, they're just hugely ignorant of important aspects of etiquette as applied to visiting foreign soil. this gives a very bad impression.

important aspects such as understanding the difference between what you saw in the cinema (fiction) and what you are seeing in the country you are presently visiting (reality). this misunderstanding is encapsulated in the phrase ''where can i get the real *french/italian/english etc.* experience''.

another area of misunderstanding arises from the fact that levels of service in shops, bars, hotels etc. are directly influenced by the local cultural norms, sometimes service doesn't come with a smile, probably because it would make the locals uncomfortable to be smiled at by a stranger as they were being served.

another annoying thing is that americans talk really, really, really loudly, almost shouting, about everything, even when it is completely inappropriate. even more so when it's completely inappropriate. ''WOW, ISN'T THE MONA LISA SO MUCH SMALLER THAN YOU EXPECTED''......''OH MAN, THIS CHURCH IS REALLY OLD''.....''LOOK, IT'S THE POPE, HEY BUDDY''

related to the above, but a different issue entirely, is the seeming belief that the citizens of the nation visited are there solely for entertainment value. this leads to loud and inappropriate comments. it is often seen as bad taste to refer to people, or their rather ramshackle abode, as quaint, old world or authentic.

Of course it's wishful thinking. Isn't that what this thread is? A discussion of why the U.S. holds a less than favorable position in the hearts of the rest of the world?

So what you're saying is people hate Americans who go to other countries to.. uh... see what other countries are like?

The issue which has swept down the centuries and which will have to be fought sooner or later is the People vs. the Banks.

- Lord Acton, Chief Justice of England, 1875



This is not a struggle between nations, not a struggle with America, or between guns and bombs of the world. It is a struggle of human rights and justice versus those who would conspire to take them away for their own ambitions of power. The main tool of this implementation is money.

Those who have money, and enforce the acceptance of its value have power over those who don't and cannot.

What they fear is that the people will wake up and decide together that something else will be accepted as value, instantly making all the bankers bankrupt.

The secret must be kept from the masses that they have the power to choose to change the world at any time. The only thing they must do is collude with one another long enough to make the decision. This is why the bankers want to keep us divided and fighting with one another.

no, it's because they go to other countries to see what the difference is and its because they go to other countries to have a preconceptualised, predetermined experience. it's annoying.

i'm half serious here, i'm sure it's a substantial facet.
