is America hated? Why Does The World Hate America? Americans and America is two different things. The American Government doesnt even take care of the Americans, so saying that the Americans are Bush lovers is such a false statement. Only the rich and dull have Bush's back only because he makes them richer. I wish people could live anywhere they wanted in the world, cause id become a French in a heartbeat since my ancestors are originally from there. America also needs to get FREE HEALTH CARE, because I'm tired of having to go to the bad side of town just to get a check up. So you see, it's not the people, its the government. Old people that have been dunked in water and magically call themselves Christians are the ones who disgrace God and make people suffer all over the world just because they can. Bush=Hitler but instead of killing jews he is killing arabs. I'm sorry I wish I could make him stop, but I cant. -Matt

Let me tell you one thing

It is those RACIST people who hate America, and there are RACIST Americans (also), who hate people from other Countries.

It all goes round in circles, but there are exceptions to rules.
There are also peaceful people in America, and peaceful people outside America.

I used to be afraid whether there was racism against Asians in America

The reason is simple;

Since World War II Americans have had their hand in every major conflict in the world. And with every conflict, we leave a presence. We're currently occupying 130 countries and building more military bases around the world, while at the same time they are CLOSING bases here. I know this because the Ingleside Naval station just 30 minutes from here was closed.

We sponsor our own form of terrorism. Unclassified CIA documents prove this, we staged a coup in Iran in the 50's and overthrew an elected official, then place a military dictator in power.

We put Sadam in power.
We trained and were allied with Osama Bin Laden.
We fund BOTH sides of the Israeli / Pakistan conflict


And lets get one thing straight. The "Americans don't do it, the government does" argument is pure baloney. It is within the power of the people to elect Representatives who will accomplish what they want done. But our entire election process has been turned in to American Idol, and that coupled with a agenda-backed, censoring media keeps all the Honest and diligent candidates out of the limelight.

The Senate and Congress have the power to override ANY veto the President signs. The only problem is, no one is willing to stage a filibuster, because they'd rather go on vacation than save thousands of American lives.

Americans are too apathetic for their own good. And thus is the basis to why we have as much blame as the government does.


Anyways, enough ranting for tonight

People love to come to America for a holiday, especially those from other developed nations.. such as England, NZ, Australia, China, etc.. even Canada lol. But I'd have to say when it comes to the world of sports, many would have to agree that arroganace of the winning time urks many people. So therefore its natural in many sporting events where the yank dominate for the spectators and supporters of opposing countries to hate em.

As for the politics/war sides of things, thats another story. I'm sure the other posters has gone in depth about this, especially the events of World War I, World War II and the Cold War with the old Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), or also known back in the day as "Soviet Russia" by many in the 80s.

What can end world hatred and bring about world peace?
Why Does The World Hate America?

I've been trying to figure out a way that we can end world hatred and bring about peace. I really wish to know what exactly it would take to end all these wars. I am aware that war might be human nature, but consider this quote by Jimi Hendrix: "When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace"

I know that every person has his or her own beliefs, and that everyone will, generally speaking, have their enemies. But is it possible to end these pointless deaths? We're all humans and why should some have more power than others? Obviously some would say that its because we need someone to ensure our safety, but if the world knew peace why would we need a world police?

One of the main things I'm interested in is how we can end the Israeli/Arab war. They fight over land that holds meaning to them. But could they not live side by side? Could they just accept each others views and move on with life? And I understand that some feel that Israelis don't deserve the land because they weren't there first, and I can agree with that, but where else should the Israelis go? If they learned to share with each other perhaps they could overcome this.

As for America attacking countries for their minerals and oil, I am 150% against this. I feel that we should use our own minerals and oil or at least purchase the oil for reasonable prices. Stealing is stealing both in America and in other countries. We lack the right to move into other countries and steal their oil. If they wish to sell it then we may purchase it. If they don't want to sell it then we have absolutely NO right to move in and declare war for it. America needs to focus on the well being of America and leave other countries to their business. Just as friends let their friends solve problems, the same should apply in wold economics.

Any views and opinions are greatly appreciated. Let me know what you think.

Personally I don't believe others hate us because of Bush... has come way back my friends.

Why does the world hate America?

Let see... lets take this in parts or regions

Why would someone in the AMERICAS hate America?

Precisely for that reason, we have claimed the name of two whole continents to identify ourselves. Moat people in this region of the world hate us for that reason. They consider that an American is anyone from this continent (as a matter of fact they are correct) but we have coined the term to mean a U.S. Citizen.

Why would someone in the Middle-East hate America?

This has a more religious approach, most of those countries are Islam followers... are daily life conflicts with theirs.

Why would someone in Asia hate America?

We have tried to kick their *bottom* more then once... what more can we expect?... it's called resentment.

Why would someone in Europe hate America?

Two world wars... always joined war and put an end to it... resentment....

Now a more general approach...

Why would the world hate America?

It's our life style, they hate us for what they see in tv... because of the image those people traveling around the world leave of the Americans... what would yo expect of a countries college students if all your here about them is Girls Gone Wild? Not much...

I can understand why some middle east countries resent America, especially Iraq after the recent WMD controversy by GWB JR, but yes TV and stereotypes from various american shows can really tend to seeth some people in overseas countries. Especially the "Chuck a shrimp on the barbie" style lines or so, when some of them may have not been to Australia, for example.

As for the WMD controversy, yes there has been some views presented by others on why the USA would've attacked Iraq, esp with the reason of Oil, and/or minerals to replenish their own supplies. I'm on the fence on this, but still the stereotypes on the TV eg Girls Gone Wild as stated by the poster above tends to convince a viewer to make a judgement.

why hate
Why Does The World Hate America?

I don't hate americans. I hate america. Or at least its goverment

They claim to be allowed the reedom of speech yet cannot see that therre is no such thing. Ever. Anywhere. Speak your minds and you will be scrutinised and scourged.

The goveremtn on america is so focused on ruling the states that they overcomplicate everything

If each state had its own goverment the place would be alot better.
Each country could make its opinion without saying it as an american.

The church is misguiding people. I don't say don't believe (sadly I'm atheist)
But to say theres a God in a world like ours is just sad. Belief can be a good thing as it gives us a hope for purpose. But the religon is just our attempt to justify that existence without meaning or purpose.
America is so sure that humans have purpose that many states are ruled by christian extremists.


Part 2

America had a war over black slaves north vs south right?
The war was so extreme over this that far to many people died

But the fact they needed to war to get rid of a century of slavery and then north has the cheek to say they support the black men! The black community in us has is so harsh and that much prejudicel history that wont just wash away.

I hope obama barrack wins the presidential election. Then wee will see what america does when a black man can command america.(I hope he isnt assassinated seriously)but if he is somehow inhumed the it just proves that the american dream is fake that now one who is black or foriegn can be president

hmm...first of all, i don't hate all americans i only hate those who support racism
and the government salvaging money from 3rd world countries like gathering healthy
children from those countries and take care of them watching them grow,
then get them to do hard labour with an excuse of helping their parents take care of them as they are poor.
(same with many other powerful western countries)
but why not educate them on not giving birth to so many kids?i just think that the government is just gathering
more manpower for whatever they are doing.

Of course you are right. Maybe I hate the USA, but I don't hate the American people. Bush does whatever he wants but the Americans are not guilty by the mistakes of their presidents.
