We don't hate the USA, we feel sorry for you having to put up with the stupid government and legislators that you are putting up with.
Anyway it is a free world, people are allowed to love/hate/like/dislike whoever they want to.
And there have been a lot of things recently, say since 9/11, that have changed the world's perception about your country. From intrusive body groping at airports, to unjustified wars and bully tactics over unhealthy and genetically modified food to name a few.
Then there is the assumption by a lot of yanks that they are right (ALL THE TIME) and we, the rest of the world are idiots.
From outside of the USA we see a lot of ignorant people, who mainly have never been outside their own home state, telling us what to do.
And seeing as only 25% of you yanks have a passport, it proves how ignorant most of you are about world affairs. You TV news virtually ignores the rest of the world and perpetuates the idea of the ignorant american.
And because your news services are so inward looking, you don't get a real feel of what it is really like outside of the USA, you guys are brainwashed by third rate newsmedia.edit on 26-7-2011 by Sailor Sam because: (no reason given)

I've been reading through this entire thread and mate you really need to go back to school or at least travel outside of your countries borders. The pure ignorance and obvious low levels of intelligence that are quite glaringly obvious in your posts are unbelievable and beyond embarrassing. You have more or less shown in your posts the reason why people are anti american. Arrogance that surrounds ignorance! You are... no sorry I mean you have really shown yourself up! Hang your head in shame. If you can't argue your case without resorted to turning someones argument against you against them. Then you have nothing to back you up. 101% fail.
