I'm not saying I want Hillary to be the Pres. But I do think it is very possible. We would start listening to the UN more and the rest of the World would like us better if she were President.

But I don't care about those things

Well I guess I do care a little what the World thinks about us, the US bashing gets a little old at times.

I'm not sure who I want to be the next President, hopefully someone worthy will emerge. Someone who can effectively fight Islamofacism and make the rest of the World love us! LOL I know I'm dreaming now.

To my fellow Americans : why do you care that people hate us?

When someone in high-school hates you, what do you say?  Do you complain about how much you've done for them and how they're hypocrites?

I don't, I ignore them and go about my business.  (And stop helping them or watever) Everytime you try to comeback with a "Well, BITCH, back in WW2...." you're just going to generate more hatred.  Because by saying that, to them you are putting yourself at a higher level.  What do I think we Americans should do?  Ignore the shit, go about our business, and simply not care about it.  Unless they want to kill us, that's a little different.

All hatred for America isn't because "A durh!  They must hate us only because we're American and we're better than them!  huhhuhu!  A duhr!!!!!!".  The hatred is generated because we, for the most part, believe that we're better than them. 

But instead of believing, why don't we act like we KNOW we're better, and just ignore their shit?  That's what I do, anyway.

Oh, yeah.  The US treats the world with so much respect.  Ignoring everything they say, implying that they're either cowards or terrorists, accusing the UN of being corrupt when it's made up of the nations of the world.  I can totally see where you're coming from.

Well thats good old fashioned ignorance right there.

I mean seriously, just because someone doesn't have conservative views and because they support liberal reforms on key issues doesn't make them "communist bitches".

Phew for a second I thought Bubb was dying of AIDS.  Here we are with more comments from a hate filled Anti-American Peanut Gallery.

America FYA.

And would someone please tell me when we called anyone cowards with the exception of the American people?  Whats that?  No one?  Oh yeah, its because the people called the French cowards for not backing us in the war.  I dont ever remember Bush, Rice, Rummy or anyone officially calling them cowards, or anyone else for that matter.  Thats a little right us Americans have called Freedom of Speech.  Am I happy that half the world didnt want any part of this fight?  No not really.  Do I think they are cowards?  No, absolutely not, their leaders have to look out for the best interests of their country.  So, how do you like them apples?

(Applesauce bitch!)

The initial responses to this thread were a breath of fresh air, with Americans posting some very valid and adult posts (I'll +1 after I type this); but sadly it has turned into "we know we're better than them so ignore 'em" type posts.

Watch this video made by Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie (Guy from 'House'), it is a parody of what most think is the american attitude to World affairs.  Two country and Western singers, doing their song where the chorus is "kicking ass".......

I think any country in the lead role would struggle to balance national interests with keeping the rest of the world happy.

Is Bush perfect, LOL. Hell no! But he is what we've got for a couple more years. I guess after that we'll find out what Hillary can do.

Does the rest of the world owe us? No not really,but American's are generous people who will help other Nation's.

Are we arrogant? Yep, we think we are the best.

If anyone has the movie "Patton" and is from any country besides the US tell me if you think that is what all americans are like because i've had my fair share of Austalians that act in the same way. My point being: everyone is an arrogant ass, even when you dont think you are...you...well, are. Take Mr. Bubbalo for example (please dont get offended, you were just the first one that came to mind, peace, love and chicken grease ) from my point of view he is so patriotic to his country he is blind to what good the rest of the world does, he makes points that are 99% of the time aimed at negatives. He is a nationalist and just like all nationalists he thinks his country is above everyone elses. Ask anyone what they think about the Us that are not citizens and the will mostly start bashing. Its ok though because Australians dont BBQ, they grill, and yet they still call it BBQ. (just bugging me)

I don't believe the UK owes America anything we are allies and we have backed you up on many occasions.
All I can say is now that we have forgotten how much the rest of the world owes us the least you(the world) could do is treat us with the same respect that we treat you and dont treat us like peices of shit.
I'm not going to go in to all the politics of America, from my point of view the most annoying thing about Americans is their attitude (I know I have not met every American) but there seems to be the attitude of we are the best and I'm gonna let you know that.  Now I'm led to believe that this type of thinking etc. is part of American life and culture.
Your post could be percieved as backing up my argument look how great we are give us respect
Look at movies (don't know how real this is) I would have hated going to school in the US if your not a jock or a cheerleader then you get picked on. (you can flame me on that one but that is the image given from hollywood)
I went to America when I was 12 and was in a 7/11 playing on an arcade machine never played the game before and some kid behind me started bitching on "Oh man you suck at this game , im the king of this game hurry up and die so I can play" I mean stfu, I don't care how good you are, just let me play the game in peace.
There are other examples but I'm at work so can't be too long.
I also believe Hollywood doesn't help the worlds view of America
My 2 cents

P.S. Flame me if you want I'm just expressing my opinion I have nothing against America or Americans they are our allies, I've been twice and planning on going to seattle next year for my 30th, everybody I have met In the US has always been nice to me, i'm just pointing out what I  find most annoying, and could be a reason for your constant bashing.

The funny part of this is that you can't say that in America about a ruling or past serving president. You will be sent to jail, even if you only say it on the internet. I think you should probably be more careful about what you say online.

TO the original poster, a few points;

America didn't save Europe out of the goodness of their hearts, they saved it because if Germany won, America  would eventually lose. And because Britain owed them so much money. Which, by the way, they paid back in full last year. Japan attacking was a perfect political coup for Roosevelt.  The same situation is around today. Now, this itself isn't evil - attacking countries that threaten your way of life is natural and fully understandable. The problem lies elsewhere.

People don't hate Amercians because they're jealous. People hate Americans because the government tries to rule the world without taking responsibility for it. They tell everyone what to do, bomb them when they don't do it, then walk away when the bad guys show up to take over the countries they've just bombed.

They're like the Roman Empire without the reponsibility. I.E. they bomb the fuck out of somewhere, destroy the government, allow their own companies in to exploit the resources, then fuck off back to the States to find a new place to fuck over. And all the while, some evil fucker takes over the old country and invents a new nation that hates the Yanks. To be honest, it's really fucking stupid on the part of the US, but no one seems to have realised that yet.

In fact, very few people hate Americans. The vast majority of my closest friends come from America, from States as far apart as Texas and Maine. We don't hate Americans at all.

We just all hate America.
