I don't really hate America. And I certainly dont hate Americans but I do hate your government! If it means anything I hate mine as well. . .
I think the comedian, Lewis Black got it spot on when he said that Americans are the only people in the world who constantly tell the rest of the world that you're the greatest. Pretty obnoxious behaviour for a country thats made up of the dregs and strays and cast-outs of other countries.

I have nothing against the American people and appreciate a lot of the stuff that has come out of America. The only thing that bothers me is that you've let Bush rule you for too long. I've always been indifferent to America's presidents but Bush is a f*cking nightmare. He's the one that has turned a lot of opinion against you.

I do belive we have a troll,

I do not hate America, I hate what America has become which is a very long way from where she started.
I was raised to believe that America was a land of the free, a home of the brave and one day I woke up and realized that neither were true.

I hate what America has become. I don't think that the term "by the people, for the people" really applies to the US anymore.

It's more like every man for himself... and screw everyone else. You can't get ahead in this country without being in debt. It's all about self image and keepin' up with the Jones'. Sacrificing health and safety of it's citizens for the mighty dollar.

I am Canadian. Raised near the USA border - Cambridge, Ontario. I am a resident, a guest, of the USA - Nothfork, Long Island, New York (my official, or fiscal residence).

I love the USA, almost as much as I love Canada.

Long Life And Prosperity To North America!!!

Scientist--yes, there truly is some wonderful scenery in the USA.

OP--to answer your question: I'm perturbed by the fact that Americans let/voted such a nimrod of a president into office _twice_. So, I loathe the Americans who did that.


Shortly before the USA invaded Iraq the second time around, I was discussing the issue with an American. He claimed "they [Muslims] hate us because we're Number One!"...oh really?

I dislike America because the ex-Airforce dorks who man the X-Ray machines at LAX have the wit and charm of garden slugs. And despite their wit and charm, last time I travelled back from their (after enduring their ridiculous faux security nonsense), I discovered that I brought my stainless-steel Leatherman tool on the airplane.

I dislike America because its football players wear pads and helmets.

I dislike America because its high schools make it seem like America won World War II.

Several years ago I went into a Starbucks coffee shop and ordered a "white coffee". The humourless, unhelpful response by the three employees ("I been workin' here three years and never heard of one of those!") adds to my loathing of Americans...There is a world out there, folks! It doesn't stop on your borders and shores!

I dislike America because its producers in its film industry are often gutless and dumb their movies down. And Their actors are overpaid. And their mainstream talk shows, like Dave Letterman's show, inevitably interviews ACTORS...not directors or writers or people who came up with the idea and story (apologies to Redford and Eastwood here), but just the "stars". I dislike America because of it's love of _actors_.

I dislike the Americans who spat the dummy when Janet Jackson's nipple became exposed at the Superbowl.

I dislike the Americans who drink Miller Genuine Draft or Budweiser because those are crap beers. In fact, it'd be illegal to brew Budweiser in Germany (brewed with only the choicest hops, barley and _rice_).

I dislike America because there's a huge music industry there (the country music industry) where people take _pride_ in being ignorant and uneducated (..."I like my soup from a can!/I'm a blue-collar man!").

I dislike Americans because enough of them watch Fox News to make Fox News profitable.

I dislike America because of its homeless-person problem.

I dislike America because tipping in restaurants is mandatory.

I dislike America because of 32oz Slurpees and other ridiculously over the top obesity-causing fast food practices.

I dislike the Americans who accuse Obama of being a communist.

I dislike the Americans who "cleverly" play on the names Obama/Osama.

I dislike Americans who use the word "liberal" as if being liberal is a _bad_ thing.

I dislike Americans who call themselves Christian when they're anything _but_ Christians.

F

I can't say what I wanted to say because it has already been said here in previous posts and I just simply refuse to 'double-post'.

What I suggest is to think outside the box, open your mind so that you can freely think of what is around you. "See the light" sort of speak. Try not to be a narrow minded individual, and be sucked in the lies of governments.

To answer your question.....NO, we do not hate Americans or America....as someone else already mentioned, we don't like your Leaders' Decision making about the World in general.
