Well,

From a spanish persons point of view...we dont really hate americans, we just think they are too run by the goverments and not independant enough. It seems to me that majority of the Americans are followers not leaders and in my opinion they should travel more. I think they often forget about other countries and so on and think that America is the all ..the everything. But in fact its not like that. We from europe are much more open minded and not so judgemental, mayeb we have been lucky as europe is so close and each country has its own culture therefore giving us chance to explore. but the amount of people that think americans are ignorant is staggering. I am jsut talking from what the rest of the europeans say. But hey we dont hate you we just think you should maybe explore a bit, yes you were born in the states, but it is a big world , why not experience it...we have hot woman too you know !!!!

Transfer all of America's power, wealth, influence, dominating culture into another country and everyone will hate that country too.

The U.S. is just another huge power in the long line of empires throughout history. Once the next great power gets to the leader position, everyone will be complaining once again, so long as that great power lets them. Look at China, they are starting to get some of that flak now while the British who long ago conquered a chunk of the planet is almost never complained about among the international interweb population.

And don't think that American citizens were the first only to be manipulated by their government. This has happened since cavemen formed tribes. This happens in every country. The only difference is that everyone on the planet is effected by U.S. politics.

There is a very common misconception that those who complain about the GOVERNMENT are complaining about AMERICA. This is completely untrue.

What most of us don't like is the way America is being ran by our government. That's it, that's all. It's these people that I don't like, it has nothing to do with America. I love my country SO MUCH that I don't want to see it fall into the hands of these people who would love nothing more than to manipulate the system and trash the constitution for more money and power.

We are the best country in the world but if everybody just sits back and lets the government do whatever they want it won't be. I'm not saying we'll all be living in shacks and eating out of the trash cans and there will be a murder occurring on every corner. We will still look good but what is having a nice house, a nice yard, and food on your table if you don't have your freedom?

ALL OF YOUR FREEDOM!

It's like telling the wife of rich husband to stop complaining that he beats her because at least she still has nice clothes, a nice house, and a staff to clean the house for her.

And like someone said earlier on inthe thread, for the americans to vote someone like George Bush into power twice , i guess it shows thier mentality...the europeans laugh at them for that!!! which i think is very funny...so yes i also hate those that voted for that D**K twice, and its a pity , the poor had to pay ...AGAIN

It really can be summed up in one word....

envy, people tend to hate what they cant have.

Not to many posts here condeming the south america/africa genocide..

No one ever talks about how in a slave era africans sold their own to us..only that americans had slaves...

Or that we took the land from the indians....thats how it works..their isnt a border in the world that hasnt been established from a conflict of some sort.

No america is a scape goat of this era, no matter what we do the envy and have nots will always spew their puke...

Its a no win battle..

Exactly, and it's not CHINA that people don't like it's the GOVERNMENT. The country is beautiful and it's people deserve much better than what they are getting.

See, when we complain about Korea or Iran it's is just unspoken that we are talking about the leaders and we all accept that. We want the people to have better than that.

So why is it that when us here in America complain about the way things are going we are accused of hating America itself.

Same thing with other people in other countries. When they complain about America I am fully aware that they are not complaining about it's people as a whole or America itself. They are complaining about our government.

I'd repeat what has already been said. I think it's safe to say most of us are the real patriots, shocked that this country could be full of so many traitors and vulnerable to so many obvious lies. Not just traitors to their country (state) but to humanity itself. Traitors to the future of their families, their neighbors and friends. I can only hope that the USA is still a sleeping giant that will rise up when it become clearer to more people what has happened and what is going on.

please note that BOTH times, the election had to be investigated, and both were the first digital touchscreen votes as well. These two issues have been debated over and over. I still don't think anyone ever voted Bush in, first or second time.

Funny thing is the American people have got noone to blame but themselves for the country going tits up!!!!The people really liked burgers so the industry grew, they needed more shops more clothing stores as the jobs increased, they needed more people to fill positions , they wanted better cars, more money, easier lives when there wasnt enough of something they complained "its the goverments fault" and then things start to get mass produced , people get fat , lazy less jobs because of immigrationn etc.....and so on, its the goverments fault again. Basically its turned out like this because you all wanted it, and now you blame the goverment. If in the beggining you took control and handled things in a democratic way maybe this wouldnt have happened, if you showed the goverment that you wanted the power divided, you know what i mean. But on it went and they kept on eating mc donalds and wanting to rule an already conquered world ...mmmmmmm what a easy life

americans are kinda arrogant, self-centered, the majority don't know or care about the rest of the world.

thats the truth.

If the government was perfect it would still be despised. It will never stop being hated.
