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.

    I did mean the people, I dislike the general attitude of people, and there way of reacting to "issues", it is impossible for me to explain in less than a thousand words, but as pictures paint a thousand words, I have already started a painting to help Americans understand what it is, that puts them aside from us.

    Nations have always hated whichever country is the most powerful throughout history. But at least America isn't an imperialistic country although some people might argue otherwise. Any nation on earth has it's problems and may be hated by other countries but if America is sooooooooo bad then why do so many people want to emigrate there and are happy to watch American films and television and embrace other aspects of the culture. Countries have always been hated for being powerful and prosperous. Maybe it's envy.

    So when you need help, don't call on us. Fix it yourself. Stay in your own country if you hate us so much. We don't need people like you coming over here and badmouthing us.

    Give us our Irish back then, they have helped your country enough.
    The Spanish here are pissed off too, they discovered your country after all, they were not the ones that robbed it from the Indians though.

    So, are the Spanish angry at the British for colonizing America instead of them?

    Not trying to sound like a smart ass, that's a genuine question..

    No one really likes the English, England also sends the mst ignorant tourists to Spain every year, Spanish police in Spain have become military and literaly ignore Spanish people commiting any number of crimes to go after English.

    But we generally dont hate someone or acknowledge something from years ago (even last year) in the countries I feel are my home, we do not dwell on past issues, we deal with current ones, we welcome English we meet, but if they try to talk about the fact that they are English, and there history, we beat them down.

    What happened 200 years ago has effected today, but it no longer effects today, do you understand?

    Evidently you think a lot of America or you wouldn't want to come here to work. Make up your mind. I doubt very much you'll be working your way. lol Dream on, pal.

    What does sickner mean? Maybe you better learn to spell before you come to America, that would certainly help your chances of getting a decent job. You think? lol lol

    No, its just such a typical response to tell me me to stay out of America I dont see why you bother saying it, I am simply telling you, that you are ringing a broken bell.

    From me to you, dont try and make it out like your some genius breaking down what I have just said, because I think you are copying me.

    I don't really like any of these answers since you grouped everyone together in all of them. I think some of the world hates America and I think some of the world does not hate America. I don't necessarily think people are right to hate us, but they do have the right to hate us if they wish. Although, I do feel sorry for those people. Hate is a pointless emotion. I don't hate anyone, regardless of nationality, ethnicity, race, gender, age, etc. But I do pity those who let their feelings about something consume them to the point of feeling hatred for it.
    Hatred is like drinking a poison and waiting for the other person to die.

    I'm sorry if my country is hated by you or anyone else, but every country has great people and terrible people. Every country has wealthy areas and poor areas. Every country has a government that people who live in that country (and other countries it seems) will not agree with. It's impossible to make everybody in the world happy, so utilitarianism is kind of a pointless way of doing things. No two people in the world will agree on every topic 100%. Think about it: You have this idea in your head of how America should be run. Now, to you, in your mind, these ways should be obvious to everyone else as well. But not everyone will agree with you.

Even if you ran America exactly as you wanted it, you would still have a whole slew of angry people at your doorstep every day, trying to persuade you to change things because they don't like the way you run America. And that's something that's going to happen to any world leader, at any point in history, in any country.

    A world where 70% of the nations treat their own citizens worse than dogs has a lot of sweet chutzpah hating America. Excuse us for being a Republic of free citizens who have the liberty to pursue their own dreams and occasionally strike it rich.

    They sure do want our help at any time they have a catastrophe, or when some other country is trying to make war with them. The world may hate America, but it is largely due to envy. I notice that the list of gripes against Americans could easily be pointed right back at many other nations, and I won't even waste my time documenting any reasons. You need to look in the mirror whoever is out there hating America and figure out why it is. Most of the people with this attitude would LOVE to live here. Just saying.
