Are we the only people on earth with issues? Is there no other country to spread some of the attention to?
Thx for your input..

America treats it ally's like they are their little prison bitch.
America continues to push a heavily flawed system of goverment that they call a democracy but is more a cross between a Theocracy and an inhuman, heartless, souless corporation.
Most Americans continue to defend their nation despite the fact that they complain themselves, believing loyalty to be more important then doing what is right.
American goverment only pays lip service to their fighting men then treats them like disposable crap.
American citizens act like a battered housewife concerning their gov and police then condem other gov's for doing the same thing.
For the love of god rise up and overthrow your goverment before they destroy the entire world.
Defend your dignity while you have it.
Stop demanding that you are a proud nation when the ship is sinking.
The golden days are over. emmigrate while you can. come to australia or northern europe or canada but leave your guns and your holier then thou attitudes behind.

You are completely correct - it's the corrupt people in power that cause America to be hated so much. But also know this, as long as Americans have this attitude of being the greatest nation in the world people will dislike you. Some things about your country may be better than others but there are lot of things that suck just as bad. You are constantly propagandized with this utter nonsense about being a part of the greatest nation on Earth. The good old US of A. And you hear it constantly from Americans, they honestly believe with every fiber in their being. Even on ATS there's a great deal of national pride from Americans. It's nothing but annoying and absolutely ignorant.

I appreciate your research with the list you provided. You are not trying to say that none of those countries on the list had any retaliation comming for undisclosed reasons that you do not include. I am not going to go off topic but I am sorry if I do. There are countries that Kill or Imprison their civilians for simply protesting. Who is to say on a Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Annual basis how many are Killed or Disappear ? Two wrongs don't make a right and I realize that. The fact remains it is easier to hate the actions of The US because to my knowledge, The US is pretty media open Compared To Russia, China, Etc.. There may be a few but in how many countries can a civilian make fun of the GOVT or The President, Dictator or Royal Family and not have to look over their shoulder? Thx for your post..
