Whats goes on everyday, Stardock Forums, life, and all

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.

Well we could open one up about Greenland. That thread would probably be pretty decent, however my knowledge of Greenland is somewhat limited

 

I'm not even from the US and I second the suggestion to close the thread. Politics, meh...

I can see this thread is going to end badly. Maybe it should be locked before turning sour.

 

Before? Heh

i have to say, though, sometimes you read a post that is just so sensibility-insulting, mind-numbingly stupid, all you can do is swear at it and hope it will go away =P

i actually read a forum like that once. https://forums.stardock.com/362569 it was quite humorous

5. The constant referals to god. The phrase "In god we thrust"(Said by the president, on bills) is a constant insult for every non-christian citizen. If one politician in germany would use that phrase i would make sure never to vote him again. Politics and religion are to be seperated![/quote]

ya know, i'm not offended by this

Frankly, truly, it's stupid to help any other countries...no one remembers helpful shit in 20 years.  Or less.  Politics and global political power is not a game of morals.

sure, maybe no one remembers, but we would still have done good. life is not all about getting power, as much as my American history teacher liked to think so, and said every time we talked about foreign policy

LIFE may not be about gaining power..but when you're running a country, with hundreds of millions of people looking to you/government in some way, you look for the best options for your country, not the world.  This is true of any country that I've ever heard of...

#27; Currently overstocking THE Nukes like plenty of other countries which everyone in their right minds MUST hate for threatening the future of anybody on planet Earth.

Genocide is and has been punishable by Law and any militaristic regimes should be disarmed by Pacifists, with subliminal & intelligent force or otherwise by any other means necessary.

This thread has so much retardation in it I wouldn't know where to begin, so I'll just broad brush it and say everyone that replies is a dumbass. Yes, I know that includes me.

The real Freedom of expression isn't nuclear threat(s) or warfare devices.

Back to you, retard.

Yeah, too funny.  Kind of like 16, too.  The OP is a bit overreactionary, if a bit out of touch.
