Do you believe the world hates America? And if so, are we justified in our passion?

I have discussed this with thousands of people, we all agree

AMERICA NEEDS TO CHANGE.

until it changes, we will continue to find ways of cutting it off from us.

Your attitude towards politics, women, race, class, sex, alcohol, drugs, religion, guns, homosexuality, obesity (laziness), media, war, news corruption, nightlife, rape, abortion, money and age are all in NEED of change.

(Sorry if I left anything out)

Every single person in America has the power to help change these things, please show me how you are trying to better your country.




DO NOT TRY AND TALK ABOUT THE GOOD IN YOUR COUNTRY, I AM WELL AWARE OF IT, IT IS JUST SAD YOU HAVE SO MUCH EVIL OUTWEIGHING IT.


I am also highly aware of the worlds problems, but believe it or not, America is responsible for much of our problems, and even with our bad, we dont look anything like you.

    All these scumbags (including our own liberals) hate America because we hold the hands of these savages, trying to keep them from setting themselves on fire, and when the time come that we have to move on to the next nation of adults who can't wipe their own bums, we have to leave. That leaves a world full of people bitter that we aren't there to change their diapers anymore...

    Our opinions on gays needs to change? Ugh... Let's just give the world to them and wait as those creatures who can't produce young allow MANkind to wither away... Women are fine. IDK what you want from America on that front. People of color (like me) have a choice; cry about entitlement and injustice, or work like everyone else. Corruption? Are you retarded? Because everywhere else is in great shape. Go live in Libya. It's all above board there...

    I hope you are a troll, because if not, you must be the most "Intellectually Challenged" individual on Earth.

    Nothing is more naive than the statement that America is largely responsible for the ills of the world.

    Whats funny is that one of the biggest reasons people don't like America is because Americans supposedly try to impose our views and culture on everyone else.

    Which is exactly what this thread is trying to do . . . "behave like us or we'll keep hating you".

    Hypocritical to the core. And not just that, its high school level BS. "We won't like you until you conform". What, are you the preppy clique that we're supposed to look up to? Really? Come on.

    While folks continue to sneak into America 'for a better life' as the liberals like to say, then NO. The world doesn't hate us. Until boatloads of Americans start washing up on the shores of Europe, we will always be the best place to be.

    None of these is quite the right answer.
    Much of the world has a love-hate relationship with America.
    It's true, I think, that most Americans are poorly educated about the rest of the world. Of course, if you lived in a country this big and with 20% of the world's GDP (or whatever it is), you might not need to pay much attention to the rest of the world, either.

    Most of the world seems to find a lot of inspiration from America and this country's story. But it's also true that America as a nation often falls short of it's word and potential.

    I know I do…that’s why I am in the process of leaving…there is no point in trying fixing this place…the other people that live here like it all messed up…so I am leaving to a place where most people are not so moronic towards politics, women, race, class, sex, alcohol, drugs, religion (not all religion just the christian god ones…), guns, homosexuality, health, obesity (laziness), hygiene, media, war, news corruption, nightlife, rape, abortion, money, age, nature, and people with common sense…and intelligence.

    And this place is....? Ever seen the movie 'The Village'? They thought they found paradise too. Unless you are going where there are no people, you won't escape the list of things you are trying to avoid, but, good luck and write when you get there.

    Choose carefully as we all have those human traits of jealousy, envy, love, anger and lust that are not always under complete control at all times. That's why I mentioned the movie, "The Village'. They had isolated themselves from the world with the idea that, if only love and understanding is taught, they would avoid all those other human traits and live a paradise type lifestyle.....love destroyed it. It was a GREAT movie.

    Well that’s where they went wrong…one has to learn not only about all emotions, but how to understand them, why they and others feel them, and how to control them…among other things of course…
    But yeah I have already chosen the people that I am taking with me. Oh and fyi, I never said that they were human, I consider all kinds of animals people, but thank you.

    As someone who has spend considerable amounts of time traveling and living outside of America - no, the people of most countries have a very favorable opinion of America. I think Americans have some kind of victim complex, thinking the world hates them.

    Maybe you do, but sincerely from the wisest of Irish, English, French, Scottish, Spanish, Turkish, Moroccans, Russian, Polish, Dutch, Japanese, Brazilian, Canadian and Indian, we all we rally do know that your country, is a major problem for our world, and we would like to fix you, as nicely as possible, but we dont think you would let us??

    Strange, you love fixing other countries by force, dont you?

    By the way we have spent much time debating this, even our Americans agree, America does not have just 1 problem, it is a whole pile of problems in almost every aspect of everything you, you just seem to do it wrong. Do not try and blame Liberals, Conservatives or anyone, the problem lies in each person, if they are not a bad person, then they are not working hard enough to stop bad people.

    Strange, you love fixing other countries by force, dont you?

    No, that would be the government that I do not endorse. I'm a human being, not a powerful political entity policing the world. So are all my friends and family. I vote in elections to make my voice heard, and I do some writing occasionally, but I'm just an engineering student. Are you blaming me for the actions of the US government? If you could meet me in person, I don't think you would have this hateful attitude.

    So you are telling me, American people are not responsible for there government?

    I am certain if Ireland dropped a bomb on America you would hold us all responsible, nice train wreck.

    I am actually planning a Sodahead tour, hopefully sometime this year, I would very much like to meet people, even with the most opposite of opinions to my own.

    Just so you are aware slightly of who I am (or what I, as all humans are capable of) I would not sit back and let my supposed leaders do abroad, we are already fighting hard enough to change our governments motives here.

    I alone, am revolutionizing certain aspects of our culture, we have problems with the church in Ireland, so I have brought priests on my staff, and preached to them the teachings of my own faith, they have all declared themselves "New World priests" as well as wise men who have joined my cause from other countries.

    I hope to bring the world into this cause, it is only America that would deter or find error with my goals.

    Not everyone in the world hates America. There are justifications for being annoyed at our domination of the world economy and geopolitics. But hate is a strong word. If America disappeared tomorrow, some other great power would take its place. Many in America, in fact, are critical of our policies that affect the rest of the world. Please do not lump us all together.

    Above, you responded to Cowboy. You confirmed that America feeds you with your statement, "Fine, stop." Then you proceeded to admit that you have no market for your OWN food and don't grow it. Best to learn to grow your own BEFORE you tell the food source to "Stop" Hence, 'The Hand that Feeds you'.
