This is a list of reasons why America is disliked in the world. I'm not trying to be overly political; I'm just making a point. That said, don't over react or start a flame war. And to those that think I'm singling out the U.S., just look at the title. If I put whats wrong with the world and then talk about the U.S. then your argument would justfied.

21 Reasons Why the World Hates America

 

1.       We’re a big country.

2.       We eat too much food and are the fattest country in the world.

3.       We pollute the world.

4.       We drive the biggest cars (which pollute).

5.       Our society is torn between conservatism and liberalism, with people refusing to change society even though it needs to in order to keep up with the world.

6.       We guzzle oil.

7.       We prop up dictatorships that do things that go against American morals.

8.       Our government does things that go against American morals.

9.       We’re a snotty, rude, and stuck up society that thinks we’re better than everyone else.

10.   We have foreign policy that still thinks that we are in the Cold War

11.   We act like we are still a superpower.

12.   We tell other countries what to do, using our military to back it.

13.   We put restrictions on things, such as weed and the drinking limit, which drives people to break those laws. We then refuse to change these restrictions, even though it would lower crime.

14.   We are a crime ridden society, with some of the worst violence and breaking of laws in any developed country.

15.   Things that seem natural, such as love and sex, are made taboo subjects by idiotic parents.

16.   When something bad happens, Americans overreact to the extreme, making something that was a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10 look like a 20.

17.   Many people are racist and stereotype people.

18.   We claim to be and open a welcoming country, where in reality, we routinely deport people and make society hostile to newcomers.

19.   We are a Christian majority country (a reason the Muslim world hates us)

20.   We support Israel and attack terrorist groups (ditto)

21.   We elected George W. Bush and his administration. ‘Nuff said.

This is kind of a joke people. Lighten up.

This was pretty lame.

In response to 11, you probably are a superpower - this is more appropriate for the UK, who most definitely have politicians (*cough Conservative Party, UKIP, BNP *cough) who still think we are a superpower

I want the 21 seconds that it took me to read this back.

Get a claim with your insurance carrier then.

i have to say most of your points are congruent with Australia as well

you kow what all three have in common (Aus, UK, USA)?

We're all run by politicians who want to line their pockets and get re-elected...

#1 - Ummmmm okay.  Lame.

#2 - Why is this of any other countries conern?

#3 - Gee, why single us out?  The other 190+ countries of the world do too!

#4 - They pollute less than what most of the Chinese and Indians drive, again why single us out?

#5 - WTF is that about?  Conform or die?  To that I say, f*** off world.

#6 - Yep.  We're the only guzzlers of oil on the planet..... Gee, singled out again!  A pattern emerges.

#7 - So does the UN.  Again, why single us out?!

#8 - Gee, that sounds alot like #7.  I'm sure we're the only country on the planet who isn't perfect.

#9 - Wow.  Well, being called the worst people on earth and then being called on to bail out the same bastards has a somewhat negative effect on our attitude.

#10 - Well, we have allies who think everything is sugar and lollipops.  Though, maybe we should tell Europe we are no longer going to spend money for their defense.

#11 - Because, maybe, we kinda still are????????  WTH is your definition of a superpower?

#12 - So?  The UN tells other countries what to do.  Europeons have no trouble telling the US what to do.  And I have no trouble telling them what to do with themselves.

#13 - Curious logic.  So the very act of something being illegal is why people do it?  Can your logic be applied to violent crimes, hell any crimes at all, as well?  If not, why not?

#14 - Please.  You fall into the trap of not realizing there are 300 million people in this country.  We are also the most diverse.  Not all get along.  Other countries don't have anywhere near as much diversity of people as the US.

#15 - Damn!  Again with the singling out!  Free speech in some Europeon countries is becoming taboo.  PC Police in action!

#16 - And the rest of the world tends to utterly under react.  If at all.

#17 -  Lol.  Hey, at least we don't have openly racist/fascist/freakingNeoNazi political parties winning elections, unlike in Europe. 

#18 - Then the rest of the world is utterly anti-immigrant, since we let in more people than Any. Country. On. Earth.

#19 - Well, I'm an atheist.  The Muslim world needs to get over themselves.  The Universe does not revolve around their 'sensitivities' to reality.  The same can be said of ALL religions.

#20 - ZOMG!  We fight bad guys!11!  Lol.

#21 - Okay, I can play this game.  When Europe stops electing racist/fascist/freakingNeoNazi parties, we'll talk.  Until then, STFU.

Well, that was fun.

I dont see why its a joke

Seems very logical to me ^^

on Sep 07, 2009

Oh and Varek, shut up. You didnt make a single valid point

on Sep 07, 2009

Reason #1 - We have the most influence of any country in the world - Culturally and economically.  That's why....that and all our stupid crap during the cold war.  Lesson over.

on Sep 07, 2009

hmm ... how many points are left over after we strike everything that's common to all industrialized countries?

on Sep 07, 2009

Only 21 reasons? You really do have a sheltered existence...

on Sep 07, 2009

I dont see why its a joke

It was sort of a joke.

The Muslim world needs to get over themselves.

PC Police in action!

These two have actually been tied together; the Muslim immigrants to European countries have been bitching about shit they don't like in what country they've moved to, furthering PC. America doesn't have very much PC compared to Europe, but will in the future.

Only 21 reasons? You really do have a sheltered existence...

That was all I could think of. Give me more.

22. It's legal to drive at 18, and it's legal to own a gun, yet when you see a nipple on TV everyone gets a heart attack. Ironically in the country that produces the most porn in the world.

Actually let's just make that:

23. It's legal to own a gun.
