America is the most beautiful country i think, in the world. Good government, good land, good structure. But unfortunately most of the people i don't like. No-one friendly, bush-haters, Jesus-haters, and a million more. Nobody will say "hi" or wave any more. They make fun of people they don't like and envy. People get so offended, no more holidays on calenders, "my holiday is not on there." etc. i have seen so many smart-Alick answers on here. nobody will be NICE anymore. It bothers me. and not to mention the cussing. I am equally disappointed.

I think the rest of the world are ingrates. They ALWAYS come to us for help & then bad mouth us. We should help the entire free world, but then they criticize us. No land is perfect, but I don't bite the hand that feeds.......\n\nI'm also perplexed by so many people here in Yahoo that talk so badly about their own country especially in comparison to others. Why don't they just leave then if it's so bad? I hear there's cheap housing in Mexico..........

Honestly, Im dying to leave myself.  The US is becoming very hated by the rest of the world and it's getting kinda scary living here.  The government has completly ruined our relationship with anywhere outside the US.  By killing innocent people...the US has build up some very bad Karma...and sooner or later we will pay for what Bush has done and continues to do.

Because we are the land of opportunity and freedom. Despite what we may or may not feel or agree on about America...compared to many places, it's a wonderful place to live and to follow your dreams..because you can.

I don't want to sound a bit too rash but a lot of America's youths don't really deserve to live anywhere near that country. Lots of young men and women in third world countries are willing to give up an arm and leg (and study their butts off) to even have a single window of opportunity open to them. I hope these people realize how lucky they are and in doing so, live up to what's exoected of them.

the majority of americans are oblivous to the hatred that they are engendering around the world. I lived in the US for 12 years and I know that most people I met were really generous and forward thinking people....but very self absorbed. I now live in UK and I see the US from a distance. The majority of people in the UK, supposedly America's greatest ally, find America's Foreign policy appalling and we are 'Freinds'. America may go to Iran - it has proved that from a high level it has bad judgement and...I think it would be foolhardy to beleive the politicians have learned anything from Iraq..other than a whole bunch of wealthy Republicans have made a lot of money from the conflict...and therefore more conflict will be good andmay well happen. republican governments love war unfortunately...all this balony about security is just a cover. If you live anywhere except the US you can this crystal clear...PS I love 'America' the ideal - which is what the policiticians always tap into..but America the reality is, at times, unfortunately very sinister. Take a look into Rumsfeldlds eyes some time...but don't do it for too long:-)

That is SO wonderful.  THANK YOU!  This country needs more people to step up and be proud enough of their country that they are willing to fight for our rights.  That's what this country was made of.  People volunteering to protect and serve.  Thank You, you are doing a huge service to us all!!!

More and more Americans are staring to agree with you on this. It is a terrible situation. Some soldiers say that they've had enough. However, there are those who've only just begun over there, and they feel like: Would you run into a burning building to save lives and then leave everyone to burn? I think at this point we are damned if we do, and damned if we don't

Think about it this way...\nWhy is it that more people try to get into America than any other country?  That should give you an indication on what the rest of the world REALLY thinks about life in America.\n\nConsidering how good it really is here I think we have a right to be proud of our country.\n\nBesides, I have never heard anyone rip other countires for being jingoistic or proud of THEIR country.  Why should we?\n\nGod Bless America.

Unfortunately, most people have become too forgiving here in the good ole' USA. I'm angry about all the illegals here taking over. Look what happened in Miami when they allowed Cubans to come on over for a while.  You would be hard pressed to find anyone who speak Engish there anymore. And the drugs are apparently running rapant! It's happening again with our Mexican border.  \n\nI have been asking everyone to contact their congressman/ senators and any other legislative persons to let them know how we feel about these issues.  \n\nWe can become one voice again, but everyone has to get off their duff and speak up!!!  If we don't, I, too, am afraid our forefathers efforts will have been in vane.  \n\nScary stuff!!

We are praying for a new president, please join us, every little bit helps.\n\nAmerican citizens are actually good hearted people for the most part.

This is America. No one expects for people of other countries to come here and forget where they came from, but they come here to be Americans and they should submerge themselves in our culture.\n  \nWhen I think of all the people who have died on American soil to make this a better place to live it makes me wonder why don't the people who think of coming here for a better life just stay home and make there country a better place the way we do.  Americans will barricade themselves in there homes and have a shoot out with the entire military to protect their rights.  We don't have any place to pack up and go to because everyone else just lets their country go to crap and come here.  Then they say we're lazy and pampered and don't appreciate what we have, but we're not the ones running away from home.

It's sad, but we (Americans) live in a Christian country where if you don't at least claim to practice Christianity you are considered a minority and looked down upon. Becuase Christians make up a huge majority of the population, it is easy for them to look past the complete disregard for seperation of church and state that the government and people have.\n\nIt's sad. I just hope it doesn't get any worse. Some day we may have to fight for our right not to believe.

I feel the same way as you do. Unfortunately the world is full of ignorant people. These people know nothing of the regular American persons way of life and know even less about America as a country. \n\nIn general most Americans are every day people who work hard for what they have. There is good and bad in every culture and country, we are no different. People the world over are just for the most part doing the same thing as us. They work hard for what they have, raise families, go to school and so on. \n\nThis American hating people are the kinds of people who have nothing better to do than bad mouthing Americans. They are the bitter and twisted of this world and probably not too smart either. If they were they would go to the lengths to find out what regular American people are actually like. \n\nI also agree with you on the issue of most people disliking our president. From what I can tell this is fact weather or not he got re-elected. Personally the only way I can understand that is the votes were somehow fixed. We know there were several states that had issues with the voting machines. So why could there not be more. I can honestly say that out of the many different people I meet in all walks of life I cannot find one person that likes or approves of our current president. That in itself certainly makes me and a lot of people wonder how he got re-elected. Well that's my two cents worth!

I have learned that it is not the American people that the rest of the world doens't like, it's the politics and policies of the government.  Sometimes it comes across as anti-american.  I do wish that the ones who are saying these things would get to know some Americans as you have.  There are good and bad from everywhere.

I'm in Iraq right now. Me being on here should give you an idea of what I'M doing...nothing. What's it like? HOT! Alot of people do have it pretty rough over here though, but I wouldn't say the majority have it all that bad. It just sucks being away from home for so long. I don't think it's really getting better. They're gonna fight us as long as we're here.
