LOL... Yeah I can see someone watching UPN or Jerry Springer and being like WTF. What is wrong with them, are they retarded? "

" there is no where like here.  As much as we are losing there is no other place you can prosper as you can then here with the freedoms we have.  Look at how many people are moving here and for what reasons.  Only place remotely close is Amsterdam and it's got it's own problems. "

Ive not read all the post & to be honest im starting straight from the back just going by the title of the thread.
Never judge a nation by the experience u have meeting or dealing with a few for starters.
Secondly i hear quiet alot when im out in the Far East thsi Anti-American view & its manly by normal people in tourist areas that think all Americans cant talk but have to shout even if its in a quiet coffee shop.Asians (Thais, Cambodians & Laoatians) are very quiet by nature so hearing a loud american they think that theres something wrong with them because they cant keep there voices down so they assume that this person has alot of anger or bad vibes & they think the whole American nation is the same.Yes i know it sounds strange but i hear it so many times when im out in the far east.

" Seriously everyone I talk to about America complians about how much we suck. They always say that everywhere else is way better. This makes me laugh. To be honest America is better than a good 90% of the world. I mean were better than most places in Africa and the middle east. Were better than most of Asia you know beacuse there a bunch of dirty communist. Plus were way bettwer than Canada and Austrilla. The only place I can think of that might be better are some places in the U.K.. I think if you hate america so much you should get out. Who's with me? "

to answer your question: re-read your post "

The great thing about being the most powerful nation in the world is that you dont have to care if anyone else likes you :P

Good point.  "

" @Gylan Thomas: What America stands for is an idea that all men are equal (women included) everyone has the right to believe what they want and freedom from hatred or ignorance. That is a damn good think to like or believe in. As for it's action negating that I don't believe it does because in my opinion what America is/does is not what the ideal is. We parted ways with the true American dream a looooooooong time ago, almost right away, but the Idea is still there. Though if anyone in our county claims we're all still that well they should be shot for their stupidity because like I said we parted ways with the idea so no you're not free to believe what you want =P. "

"

its the general belief of what you americans are not the true facts but the negative stereotypes, honestly i know quite a few americans having stayed in washington for a year (glad to be back in bc) and you aint that bad.

"

" Actually, America is now regarded as a hyperpower, not a superpower.  "

due to heavily biased opinions that derives from media on global scale, lack of understanding of social, economical, cultural, military structures yet everyone wants to visit Disney world and purchase their brand products and associate in business someway, hmmmmmmmm

Because you can't kill people into liking you.

Well Obama is helping  the world view of America but doesnt seem to be helping a whole lot with the actual people or the United States. Thats just how i feel "

" If we took everyone as their Sterotype.  English people are snooty.  French just run away and don't want to take a stand.  Germains just drink.  The middle eastern countries just go on suicide runs and kill themselves.  Japanise think nothing but sex because they have small ...........  Africa just have tribes of Black People walking around half naked.  So on and so forth.  Hating something you don't personally know is just stupid.  "

Funnily enough, the French have participated in more wars than pretty much any other country. They won a good percentage of them too.  (I know you were only pointing out stereotypes, but that was one stereotype I was quite surprised to find out wasn't true lol) "

Yeah, I quite like Obama from what I've seen on this side of the pond. But a lot of Americans I talk to really don't. Could be the same for Clinton, I f*#%ing love that guy from what I see on tv. What's was he like for people that actually had to live under him? "

Cause they're jealous of all the awesome stuff we do all the time.

I'm so proud now.

@Cubethulhu:

Lol I have a good few friends in the US and I'm in the UK. Believe me, there are a lot of places over there that would be awesome in comparison to this dump and then there are a lot of problems that we seem to share and there are quite a few places in America I wouldn't live. Like apparently there is still a lot of hatred between races with different reasons than we have here. One of my best friends just went to Atlanta Georgia and he said the hatred towards white people was unbelievable on quite a few occasions. And whereas I get on with the majority of people, if not get along like a house on fire, there are some Americans that really go out of their way to hate people for no good reason.

I was friends with one that used to joke about me being a "Redcoat" or at least I took it as a joke otherwise why would he have befriended me, right?! Wrong, he befriended people that he needed to belittle and to make himself look superior. But he was a bigot and the worst kind of patriot. He had that 'fuck the rest of the world, we're the best and we can do what we want' kind of attitude and when he turned that towards me for being English, I put him in his place. The problem is, THAT is what the negative aspect of the US is mostly known for. Bigots. People assuming that their own opinions are all the "facts" they need to put the world to rights... I am now best friends with his younger sister and have it on good information that his family do not associate with him because of his attitude. Which leads us to the fact of the matter. It all just comes down to the universal stereotype and the better majority of people suffer thanks to the idiot minority because of the way the media portrays people as a whole.

I think the best way to look at it is to ignore the hate. Hate isn't an institution, it's the seed of mental illness and it consumes people and their ability to reason. Let the haters run out of steam. Don't give them the arrogance that fuels them. As much as the government and the media think they speak and act for the majority, they don't, and you end up with the feeling that it's you against the world. It's not, otherwise you wouldn't have such a rich heritage and mix of cultures. Just be the best you can be and dont give a damn about why people have the time and energy to hate the USA.

Oh and sorry lol I'm not the one that bumped this topic, I had no idea :p

• Many people are close-minded.
• Many people live in America.
• Since many people live there, there's bound to be one or ten idiots there.
• Close Minded people sees someone like... say, the Westboro Baptist Church, and immediately generalizes the whole American population.

There.

America is awesome.

I mean, that's where some great comics come from, so anyone who says otherwise immediately has an invalid argument, lol.

Okay, that is a lie. The US is still the only superpower. That is just the truth.

You love Obama. LOL

Remember when you were in high school and there was that cocky jock that sat in the back of the class room. Nobody really liked him but he always got his way. He was the USA.

Another shitty bump, but yeah. Its all there in the OP, overconfidence and complete ignorance of the outside world. (for the most part)

@cubethulhu: Well if we're SO perfect... Then why do we need Switzerland bank accounts? (Owned) 0_0

Well, my entire family overseas hates the U.S.A. I do not, but that is mostly due to the fact that I don't give a $h!t and all nations are flawed, broken, in their core. Why would I give a crap about a broken nation if the world is broken along with it? Sometimes you just have to let things go and acknowledge that any government out there, whether foreign or yours, is fully willing to kill you in its interests.

I happen to love my country and what it stands for, obviously or I should not be in the military. Having said that, I am not ignorant enough to think we don't have a lot of work to do on ourselves or that our way of life and though is for everyone. I've had the pleasure of meeting some damn good men and women from other countries in my line of work (Brits and Canadians know how to party...), and none of them who had been to the States have hated it. No, it may not be some place they are clamoring to immigrate to. And yes, they've critiqued it. But hell, so do I. We've turned critiquing this country into something un-patriotic. I think it's patriotic to recognize your homeland's faults, and to have the desire and motivation to improve them.

Just my two cents.

They jelly.

People HATE the USA? Heh, you don't know the meaning of the word "hate".

With warm regards, from Israel.
