Just out of curiosity, why do so many people dislike america?

idejebannaW · July 2010

sure, we have our flaws, our problems, and our share of idiots, but doesn't every country? Hasn't every country done horrible things in the past? What makes America so different with its problems?

[LobsterMts] · July 2010

some peoples think that we say we are the best

well not all of us..I mean america, because i dont live in america but...erughhh.

Most Americans have a superiority complex.

"Oh Africa, what a 3rd world country. What a shthole."

etc.

idejebannaW · July 2010

the reason why we say "we are the best" is because from a young age, we have always been taught to have great respect for our country.

People think we think we're the best shiz on the planet.

The problem there is that people develop an ego.

canada is heavan.

The land of the free and the great, with a hugely unique history. Civil Wars for the sake of freedom, for example. Revolutions and unity. Washington DC being my particular favourite place.

In conclusion, I'd do sex to America (Y) if America were Lucy Liu for example.

I'm pretty sure they invented cookies too.

l_Rena_l · July 2010

I have no problem with america at all.

Only some of its people which are the minority.

Any country that would elect a man like George Bush has no respect for their country, Nor the others.

Be careful throwing around the word most

There are some narrowminded stubborn people of course (take the ***) that think other people are worth less because they are different whether by ethnicity or standing or country,but most Americans believe and value the state of world affairs. I should know I'm an international relations major at college planning on heading into world affairs.

America has acted as the worlds babysitter ever after WWII
Have any of you Euros ever heard of the Marshall Plan? If not go google it

America's problem is that we interfere in places we aren't wanted and sometimes for shaky reasons (Vietnam, Iraq, Grenada...etc)

Good attitude, I wish everyone was like this

Sorta like I don't have anything against BRs, some hack video games, but you get that in any country, plus the hacks mostly come from the U.S.

this.
Also I hate that Americans hate communism and socialism, and those are the best systems.
And well, the unncessary wars just to get more oil of course.

MeriadocNW · July 2010

America also made popular the Twilight series, Lindsay Lohan, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, and the Jonas Brothers.

Bush has good company

I'd watch saying that they are the best, but they certainly can work quite well. In fact any system can work quite well. Please don't judge a country by attitudes held largely in previous decades, by that logic Americans also wouldn't allow black people to even go to the same establishments

What has Canada done wrong?

None of those people decided to go and invade innocent country's over one man like Bush did (That's just a lie, They wanted oil ;D )

Btw, all americans should watch Zeitgeist and Zeitgeist Addemdum.
Not all is true though.

iShockeR · July 2010

Like Jedi said I was taught to have great pride in my country, but people judge Americans as self centered. Thats true to some point but the majority like me are not. Wasnt China for example self centered for some part? Nobody mention that anymore.
