Well, personally I don?t hate the USA, far from it, buty then I don?t you have it THAT good either.

If there?s one thing I dislike though, is the fact that many americans act like they?re the center of the world and everything else revolves around the USA. Whatever doesn?t revolve around you, doesn?t exist. This is a commonly mentioned "flaw" so I guess I?m not giving you any big news.

Re: Why do people hate the USA

Also, you guys got to realize (and I´m sure you do) that Bush makes you look really bad.

Most americans I met on the Internet hate the guy, so it baffles me and most everyone else how he got re-elected.

It´s like the Portuguese, our players took so many dives in the World Cup that I´ve already seen some foreigners think we´re all cheats, just the same as Belgians are seen as paedophiles (sorry, Kinky, you know there´s people who think that) because of a bunch of really bad cases of that.

Re: Why do people hate the USA

i dont hate usa, in fact i dont hate no country at all, every country has it's bad people and good people, it's superficial to judge a country by some of it's people's acts
if you're refering on why terorists hate usa, well i guess it's because you're fighting them

...and?

kidding of course... I think Lewis Black says it best:

"We (the U.S.) are the only country who, on nearly a constant basis, tells the rest of the world how fucking great we are... How fucking arrogant is that? It would be like if you had someone where you worked who went around everyday flipping everyone off and saying 'I'm the greatest fucker here! and you snivelling shits would die without me'. You'd want to kill them...and eat them, just to possess their power." Lewis Black, Back In Black, HBO.

Re: Why do people hate the USA

I think that anytime you have a nation that possesses superpower status like America (and I don't mean that arrogantly, but in terms of economy, military, etc.), you're by default going to have a bunch of people who hate that nation...because that nation is pretty much by definition going to have more impact on issues that affect people across national boundaries. You can see this going back a long way in history. Many people will always hate the big kid on the block who has more influence than others. And eventually, the big kid on the block is toppled and a new one comes and takes the place. Repeat cycle ad infinitum.

Re: Why do people hate the USA

^ spot on!

the world always has a super power... we have been that super power for the past several decades, hands down (no, i'm not being arrogant...). our time is coming to an end and the next super power will be china, most likely. they brag about how much better they are too, it isn't just the US. soon, china will be more dominant than anyone and everyone will hate china... maybe then attention won't be on the US. maybe then we'll get some love. as far as bush, i'm not trying to make an arguement, but the media makes him out to be worse than he is. he ain't great, but the media doesn't do him any favors.

I can read that with perfect Lewis Black tone & assertiveness...

Re: Why do people hate the USA

i dont really get the whole "bush makes you look dumb" thing. i think we get some type
of critisism for every president we ever elect, it doesnt matter, so i think that comment
is just people repeating what they have heard on the news once without thinking too much
about it. granted he isnt the best public speaker, and has said some dumb stuff, but i
think more of that is people just watching fahrenheit 9/11 and going with whatever michael
moore said in his movie than seeing through that (but i can admit that i thought the movie
was very good).

everyone hates us because we are a superpower right now and people are jealous. people say
that we throw our weight around too much around the world but that i guess is because we can.
the thing that gets me is it seems that every world catastrophe, or fighting that happens around
the world, every country is quick to condemn it and demands that action should be taken, but
doesnt send any troops to actually fix the problem. who does? the us. it is always us who
have the most troops stationed in any conflict but everyone else bitches about us and that
we arent doing enough when they dont send jack to make any type of difference.

on the other hand i can see why the arab culture hates the us. hollywood with all of its
sex and violence which is shown all over the world doesnt put us in a good light, and if that
is all you see coming out of the states, that and fear factor where us dumb americans are gouging
ourselves on hotdog eating contests and chicks in bikinis doing stunts where everyone else in
the world is starving to death...i am sure that pisses them off. oh and the fact that they see
all of these gorgeous blone california babes on tv flaunting around and having sex with everyone,
while their women are stuck in clothes from head to toe...that pisses them off too.
