why do you think the people have so much anger and rage all around the world?

Anger occurs when our level of expectation exceeds our abilities or our level of control.\n\nWe really are in charge of so very little.  We don't like to think about that.  We think that if we try hard enough, bad things won't happen.\n\nThe guy who cuts you off in traffic is a reminder that other people's actions interfere with that theory.  We can't control what others do.  \n\nUnchecked that can lead to rage.  And the unpredictable, uncontrollable "others" become the targets.\n\nSometimes the only choice we have - the only amount of control we have in a situation - is how we are going to deal with what happens.  We can't control whether it happens or not, but we choose how we deal with it.\n\nTo the degree that we take responsibility for that, we are less easily angered.

The world is in chaos because people won't mind their own business and let others live within their own beliefs. People need to stop imposing their religious/cultural beliefs on others.\nThere are a lot of people who don't want peace, and others who are rich because of poverty, so not everyone wants the same thing.

There are stupid people the world over.\n\n1. Protestors in Iraq burning the US flag on 9-11-01 lighting themselves on fire in the process.\n2. Stoners who got arrested for possesion because they were smoking pot outside of the police building.\n3. The millions of people who voted for GW Bush\n4. The Billions of people who use religion as a cause for violence.

People hate us because we are involved in what other countries do and what is going on there.  Sure, that is one of the reasons.  So, we really need to stop sending aid when disasters strike other countries, especially since little is done to help the people here.  Also, if they are attacked by another nation, stay out of it, if they get taken over, so be it.\n\nBut another reason they hate us is people from other countries really think that the American media and government are the only ones that lie to the people, and they really believe their own leaders and media are 100% truthful.  They ignorantly think that all Americans have big homes and fancy cars and live the good life, because they were told this by their media.  They also accuse Americans of thinking all people of a nation are the same.  The funny thing is that these same people think every American is exactly the same, they do not bother to learn the truth.

They feel fear and rage. Primitive emotions, not higher more complex ones like love or sympathy.

You said it! I agree with you completely. There is not enough room in this world for hate- It has caused too many problems already. Illegal immigrants are only trying to improve their lives, their children's lives. I'm not going into a debate on the issue, but the hate and anger need to stop. What happened to America that we act like this?

They are surrounded but Hostile countries whose clerics preach their destruction...and after the holocaust you might be a bit edgy as well.

I think that's a long time to live in a desert.\n\nNo wonder why they're all really angry.

Someone is always going to whine about something. Can't please everyone, I guess.  Believe it or not, there are those out there who think we're kicking too much ass over there. Unreal.

Not me, but I know others who report similar reactions.  (And you know now where your anger came from, don't you? -- it was fear, as it always is.)  \n\nAnd I suspect you may be right -- after that initial flash-over of fury, many people will stop to wonder "hey, wait a minute," and that's where curiosity begins.

We do lots of damage to our environment, sometime you can feel their crying, their anger. They beat us by storm. We do need apologize the ourself. Do more to protect ourselves.

There does indeed seem to be far more than just a few extremists.  The rioting is spreading around the world.  I heard on the news today that even Philadelphia, Pennsylvannia, USA is comcerned with the climate of the reactions in their city,\n\nI can understand the Muslims being insulted by the Danish cartoons.  I am very sorry for that. However I am even sorrier for the people who choose to react to that insult with violence.  \n\nI keep hearing that everyone is so upset because they think the cartoons make Muslims look like terrorists. Well, I am sorry, but they come no where as close to doing that as the people who are roiting in violence do.\n\nIf you do not want the world to think of Muslims as terrorists, then you need to stand up and denounce the actions of those who ARE acting in a terroristic way. Burning down embassies over a religious insult IS behaving in a terroristic manner.

America is an amazing country and the rest of the world hates us for it. We have more guns than people, every race, religion and language spoken in the world right here in one spot and we don't have the problems these other countries have (think about that). We have the capability to completely destroy each other and we don't. Somehow Americans get along much better with each other then the rest of the world. Sure we have racism and disagreements but no civil war/massive riots(France). Why? Other countries speak the same language and have the same religion yet they are blowing up markets, burning each other and cutting of heads (notice no guns are used in those crimes). I'm not sure why we are different but we are and I wish the rest of the world would give us some credit for how we (the citizens-not our government) conduct ourselves.
