Rednecks. That is all.
The world hates American because of our foreign policy. The foreign policy being imperialism and policing.
Honestly, it's just how other countries perceive us. This topic is only about why the world hates america, not "this is why america sucks" so i'll spare you things like that. But in all honesty it's just how other country's media present us. It doesn't help that america makes a mistake it's widely publicized and heavily criticized by everyone, most countries look to america as this major nation that is supposed to at least look ideal, or at least they think that we think we are ideal when we're not. Also i don't really get the whole "globalcop" thing. At first i agreed and said that the us needs to stop meddling with everything foreign affair, but then as i started learning, there were plenty of times where shit was going down in other countries and america decided "Nope, we're going to just sit out of this one". We would be heavily criticized for not assisting.
I do think it is a bit unfair to base opinions of America (or any nation for that matter) based off certain groups. America may have a federal government but it is also comprised of 50 state governments which span the political spectrum. Besides, with the exception of some 3rd world countries, every country has done something evil to another one or its own people...
World hates america because they are like "American, is the best America! There's no better democracy, than an AMERICAN democracy! Only good people are American people. There's no god! There's only AMERICAN GOD!" Pretty much
Because you don't know everyone hates you :v:
The world doesn't hate America, they hate the people who "represent" America. Our government is, unfortunately, full of homophobic, conservative, born again christians who mostly believe in this "family values" shit and the "fabric of marriage", whatever the fuck that means. However, I love this country and really would not want to live anywhere else.
I hear so much about anti-gay stuff and all the dumb stuff republicans do. I don't hate the people, I hate the people representing them.
Jealousy, mostly.
I hate America for how the rich are trying to fuck everyone over in low and middle-class, so that the rich get more money which they in return shove to the banks instead of spending it. So everyone loses. Instead of countries like Finland where the rich get taxed more and some of that money goes to aid the less rich so more can be spent and the economy works better. [editline]30th August 2011[/editline] Also American Republicans and their supporters. They spout out so much shit about the liberals while the republicans themselves are the ones being greedy and causing a lot of economical problems.
While i understand that America gets involved in way more shit than it should, i also think it's funny when people around the world shit their pants because America doesn't do enough to help some poor fucking situation. I've heard a ton of people say "Well why isn't America invading Syria too!?" and while i agree the situation in Syria sucks, just as bad, if not worse than the one in Libya, i think we shouldn't be in either place. US troops shouldn't be risking their lives to help push forward a rebellion. We should be cutting back on troops to help take a bite out of this massive fucking debt we seem to enjoy building.

I would hate to think that i would be shunned or not welcome in a country, just because my government is full of fuck-tards.

I find allot of Americans arrogant, but I don't really hate America for that, but what I do hate america for I also hate my own country for, and that is basically the selection of morons in charge and all there bad decisions that have done no good. They have no balls, they never change things enough to make a difference, if they had balls, we would be much more out of this financial crisis.
Religious Influence amoung certain areas is quite...alarming. And the politicians are probably the worst I've ever seen.
Every now and then on the news there will be something about some politician or a tea party mob or some shit complaining that homosexuals/anything the tea party hates are evil, and that really pisses me off. Why? Because there are so many problems in this fucked up world, and yet I see on the news quite a bit that these people are putting there energies into such stupid causes. I won't hate all Americans for it, but also I only ever see these things come from the United States. I'm not saying LGBT rights are stupid, but the people complaining about them being possibly implemented are stupid. On a related note, whinging and whinging about socialism being a bad thing and calling for lower taxes thinking the worlds going to end. Some of these people are so fucking scared of anything that is state-run and thinking it's all part of some stupid conspiracy. How would they like it if they had to pay for almost everything say medical related? I went to the dentist a few months ago, medicare here payed it off. Also went to a psychologist only today (I don't have some mental illness btw, my dad just fought I was showing symptoms of depression, turns out I dont have it), medicare also payed that off. I absolutely love the initiative my government takes to looking after the people here but some people think these things are horrible and will make the apocalypse happen. So TL;DR the tea party and related conservative politicians being fucking loud and going all over the news. I won't hate all Americans for it but I'm just sick of hearing anyone mention the US now.
I was so tempted to post the "GOD HATES AMERICA" sign that Westboro use, but I won't.

[QUOTE=VaSTinY;32011080]The world hates america because they think they are superior to everyone (Most of the americans i've met do), and they have to get their fucking noses wet in every single god damn country's bussiness. There is why I hate america. [editline]30th August 2011[/editline] I mean seriously, they act like they're the fucking police of the world. Big country with lots of monies or not, they should stay out of other countries bussiness[/QUOTE] They're an economic superpower. It's in our interest that America is able to get in people's business. Were countries left entirely to their own devices then very little would get done involving stopping major conflicts. The US seems to have earned its right to be smug about world policing because in many cases it's done an okay job at it. However the standard of course needs to be maintained. Becoming lax and telling other nations that the US can't or won't help them out of dire straits now is why there'll be growing resentment. And of course we get a media fed view of the states, but if there wasn't a prominence of racism, homophobia etc. then there wouldn't be that expectation by other states. If people here are gonna say the US is badly represented as having too many powerful bigots, I don't think they understand how few everywhere else has.
We just hate it. Do we need a reason? Everyone bitches about Canada too
Because they are evil capitalists! Not only Muslims or leaders of dictatorships are war starters, in fact Americans either start wars or aggravate already existing once. Please note that it is the government I'm talking about here and not the people themselves. Through, if the economy collapses in America it by some reason have to affect a lot of other continents. Why? Because the global stock market is located at wall street which means if America gets a financial crisis, it has a good chance of affecting us. They also have a lot of influence. I keep hearing all about our prime minister trying to get a closer relationship to America or just copying their way of ruling the country. Anything made or done in America also is ridiculously known or important worldwide than when it happens in for example an European country.
Not enough dinosaurs.
Thats a lie, i dont hate america :smile:
Nobody hates America, only rage/angst filled little atheist teenagers do, still being ungrateful for living on one of earths best countries. I also can't see why anyone would hate us when our economy and shit pretty much control the planet.
What is this "USA is world superpower" bullshit?
[QUOTE=Kefirman;32020204]What is this "USA is world superpower" bullshit?[/QUOTE] The USA runs the world, if the USA goes down so does everyone else
If only all of America was like Asheville... Also I hate that my state is listed as a "redneck state" Dont get me wrong NC has rednecks but not as many as everyone says. Sadly it is the rednecks which are always getting on the news... I fear that this is similar to what happens to America as a whole; the dumb fucks get on TV and make us all look bad
[QUOTE=Kefirman;32020204]What is this "USA is world superpower" bullshit?[/QUOTE]The definition of "Superpower" in politics is "A state with the ability to influence events and project power on a worldwide scale." So yea, America is a superpower. I would also like to make the point that if it's our foreign policy other countries really hates, our actions are generally UN sanctioned. Even Iraq and Afghanistan.

The South really does have an alarming number of bible pushing conservative old men, though.
They hate the government mostly not the people, although a lot of people here are fuck ups. I also hate how most Americans and even people out of country think that the southern states are complete rednecks. It depends where you are in the state, but a lot of things have changed over the years. Don't get me wrong though, they're still around. I live in Georgia.
That small percentage of the world shits out nearly a quarter of its pollution.
