Hey since I never actually get into these kinds of arguements I was wondering, do all the people from England and the rest of Europe hate the US solely for its government or is their another part of it?
From my viewpoint of the whole thing:
1. Not everyone from the UK and Europe hates the USA -- that's simply the impression you get from the amount of anti-america threads in the General forums and the like.
2. Most British and European people are either pro-USA or have no real opinion either way.
3. Most anti-USA things that you hear British or Europeans say will most likely be intended in a satirical manner rather than a serious insult or argument against the USA. It's only due to dumb kids who don't understand taking this shit seriously when they see it on the internet that it becomes people's actual opinion -- albeit a somewhat diluted opinion.
4. On the rare occasion that you meet someone from these countries who is actually serioualy anti-USA of their own accord, they are in the minority.
I avoid those debates/arguements so I don't really know.
It's all stupid e-drama. IMO any threads about whose country is better should just be avoided at all costs. Unless you're cellardoor6.
