Why does everyone hate america?

[I-Jaf]

i think everyone hates america because it has the perfect mixture of arrogance, ignorance and hypocracy.

basicly, america keeps telling everyone how great it is while the average american knows and cares not what happens to the rest of the world, like in a survey before the war 9/100 americans didnt know where iraq was (when asked to point it out on a map, among the failures someone actually pointed to the caspian sea! and about 8 people pointed to france.) i'v also heard that about 50% of americans dont even know where new york is.

also, another reason for people hating america (particularly poor people) is that it is so incredibly rich. its people have everything they could need, but they still bitch to their analists.

why do u think everyone hates america?

Living in a country that really hates USA, not my case though its been my home for 4 years, I believe its because of all the wars America participated when no one asked for their help, such as Vietnam. Also because of the lil racist person inside many Americans, many people have a rough time visiting the States, there are many more but I can't remember them now.

Probably cause of this.

probably because 60% of young americans ages 13-18 think that america is a war waging monger powerhouse. america in my opinion is great, freedom, we dont keep our women indoors all day, rich communities, WAS a good economy, lowest rate of homless people. cmon if you hate america so much than leave, where else are you going to go that is as rich a country as this?
mexico? -highest homeless rate
canada? -gimme a break
france? -highest rape count,1 of lowest economy,low job rating.
germany? -highest get this..BARBARIAN COUNT i couldnt believe that one.
iraq? - i hope your not white, female, or religous.
overall america is cool

Wow. I really can't debate well thought out logic like that. Jack-ass.
I don't care if you are anti-america or pro-america, BACK UP YOUR SHIT. where the fuck are your sources that say mexico has the highest homeless percentage? When the fuck was France considered "one of the poorest"? What justifiable grudge would you have on Canada?

Secondly, just cus America is the richest nation doesn't immediately make it the most desirable to live in. I can name a heap of places that people would rather be than in america.

Third, once again, what source tells you that 60 percent of United States teenagers think america is a war monger?

back up your info, kid. cite your sources, if you have any.

Wonderful stuff. Does he say anything about any other country? England backed the 1967 war of Eygpt for instance. America's not the only country to have interfeared with other countries.

Yer. Very cool. America is Number One in...

Firearm deaths, military spending, per capita energy use, CO2 emissions, hazardous waste produces, oil and natural gas consumption, lowest voter turnout, recorded rapes (NOT france,) deaths/injuries from road accidents, teenage pregnancies, child executions.

Not bad eh?

[bumcheekcity]

Seeing as someone just ot shouted at for sources, I will name mine.

The UN Homal Development Report 2000, US Vital Statistivs Tables #'s 1356, 1361, 1390, 1398, Energy Information Administration, Amnesty International Michael Moore and the Childrens Defence Fund.

[Da-Reservoir-Dogg]

I think people hate america because of more then a thousand reasons...ex:unessesary war,capitalism,manupulation,hatred,misunderstanding,egoistic,Arnold Schwarzenegger,global empowerment..just to name a few....by the way statisticly the u.s is the poorest country in the world with over 15 trillion dollar debt.....

[mrpopenfresh]

I think people hate the U.S. because theyre what many people consider the bully of the world, or the rich arrogant kid on the block. Also, I don't think many people can stand that such a powerful countrie has such a joke of a goverment. Im gonna take the two most obvious examples; George W. Bush is one, and the California recall. Im not even gonna get started with that stupidity down in cali. Oh yeah, another example would be Ronald Reagan. In my views the most incompetent president of the united states ever but hey, his charisma was trough the roof, and thats pretty much what you need to be successful in the U,S,

Canada-gimme a break.

Please explain the above statement for I have no concievable knowledge as to why someone would dislike Canada in all its politeness, neutrality and yes, somtimes ass licking of the United States.

Actually, Canadians are pretty pissed off with America because after 9/11 Canada sent services, supplies, aid and doctors to America and when the SARS thing happened the only thing America did was stop all travel to Toronto.

well first, the arrogance and hypocracy of proclaiming yourself the defender of peace librety and justice when u invade countaries for their oil have camp x-ray, secondly, a country's citizens should know where new york is as its one of the biggest and most important cities in their country and in the world, secondly, you should at least have a vague idea of who the fuck you are declaring war on (somone pointed to the caspian sea! its a body of water ffs! how ignorant is that?)

next.

shut the -FUCK- up

the US has spent trillions on its defence in the last 50 years, i cant remember the exact figres but its something like spending $60'000'000 every day since the birth of christ on 'defence' as its called. u cant say the US is anywhere near the poorest country in the world, compare it to somewhere like Mozambique.

[ChaosAllen]

I like US. It's shiny. And has birdies.

You can't truly compare directly the foreign policy of the US and it's ridiculous spending on individual citizens, can you? This country is run by a tiny percent of the population making all of the decisions. How can you hate an entire country based on the actions of an elite few? This is called prejudice and it is wrong.

If a dark-skinned man steals from you, do you hate ALL blacks? After terrorist attacks should you hate and persecute ALL arabs? No. It's ridiculous to think that way.

No this country isn't perfect in the least bit, and there are ignorant people here. But I can't find a good enough reason to go anywhere else. Find me a better country with a cheap apt., AC, and a job market not solely based on manual labor. I feel lazy today.

Defence? When has it EVER defended itself? It attacks.

And it is BECAUSE you spent that that you are now in debt.

Oh yeah bum, don't forget the united states closing its border to canadian because of all that BSE bs. Japan was worst though.

Why do you think that Europe protested the war against Iraq? Because thay so peaceful? I DON'T THINK SO! It's because they were loosing money!

Er... mainly because they were peaceful. They wouldn't care if it was just a money issue.

[BWS]

Just so you know, some of you are getting this money issue all wrong. National debts arent related to "richest or poorest" as closely as some of you think. Besides, this debt can be carried for as long as needed.

Just to keep it short, they completely closed their borders to canadian meat and are demanding outrageous precautions so that our meat is safe.

My cousins a farmer and he complains alot, I went to his farm on vacation and had to endure hours of bitching after the goverment not helping him with cattle daily. Nice guy though.

I said "peaceful" sarcasticly. Europeans aren't peaceful. Thay played it "enlightened" when realy all that they cared is the money that they invested in Iraq.

Well, I would have to say that you're wrong. I'm british and very against the war. I saw hundreds of people who were against it (we live in a very liberal area.) They didn't give two hoots about the money. Most didn't even know.

What makes you think all we care(d) about is money?

British its something absolutly diffrent: Britain invested money in the war in Iraq- and the one's that against the war actually meant it. However in the rest of Eurpe the peolple protested it just because their countrys loosed money. Pay attention that even Russian people, that usualy not so peaceful, protested against the war in Iraq.

In some way, Britain is't a part of Europe. Britain was always little bit diffrent from the rest of Europe... Maybe because it's geographic position...

Is it just possible that you are judging the countries (and also the people) by their stance on the war? At all possible?

Pay attention that even Russian people, that usualy not so peaceful, protested against the war in Iraq.

Can anyone tell me how this is racist? First one to say gets a cookie :D

Actually no, Britain is completely European. Or at least it was until WW2 and American influence. Y'see what that did for us? Margaret Thatcher! Urgh.

Well no, it's a timeline of America's military interventions in favor of capitalism. If Michael Moore were a British living in the UK he'd be doing something about England's military actions but he's an american.

That's total bullshit. They WOULD, and DID care if it was about money. "Peaceful?" Just because they didn't support the War in Iraq doesn't mean they're peaceful. No more Saddam reign= No more arms sales to him, one less customer.

Australians never have shown racism towards Asians and natives? They rank pretty low on education, and general world knowledge?

New Zealand......... I've never been there. Tell me.

Good. That'll remind people that just because America invaded Iraq doesn't mean that the rest of the world has a spotless record, and everyone should forget those faults.
