It's called child sweat shops... we are so greedy to get money, we expliot any other nation we can paying as low as possible to do it, so we can have even more money. \nThey work up to 12 hours a day, for pennies, while the U.S. company sells their products for a huge profit.\nBut, according to Republican's they should just be happy to have jobs... hahaha... nice excuse to expliot a people.

I completely agree with you. There is entirely too much anti-Americanism. Being a Canuck myself, I have nothing but respect for the American people. Now, having said that, here comes the reason for the US bashing that is happening all around the world.\n1. America has become the police of the world, and many people would choose their own bad governments rather than a just and benevolent foreign government.\n2. That just and benevolent government mentioned above is strangely missing from your country. I always found the US Constitution to be a thing of genuine beauty. Does it not say that you are responsible to throw off such governments that detract from the rights of the people?\n3. American Foreign Policy, for the protection of American business interests, not the mutual betterment of all nations.\n4. The attitude that Americans have about their culture and country. The self proclaimed best country on earth, sounds arrogant, and nobody likes an arrogant person.\n5. The fear mongering being put forth by the American media machine. Hasn't anyone noticed that the hard won rights of the individual are disappearing in the name of security? I hope you enjoy living in your police states of the future.\nAs for a Third World War, where can we stand? In line with Bush's for or against policy? If that is my choice, then I must stand against. I now, always have and always will stand against tyranny and evil, even when that repression is claimed to be for my own safety. \nAs for wanting into the US, because you have greater freedoms than most, but not all.

That's good to hear, enough countries hate us already and to be honest, i dont ever think to myself " who doesnt like America" i instead think "who does like American". We are really hated thanks to our government when really Americans themselves (most) are very nice family people.

I must preface what I have to say just a bit...I love America, and what I say here is not a reflection on ALL Americans, but how we have gotten the reputation that we have!           I have traveled extensively and it is true Americans are VERY disliked! It because of a few different reasons. One being entitlement. Most American think they are due the best and fastest service, that they are entitled to tell other people how to live and what to believe. We are a nation that is very spoiled and really has no grasp on other peoples lives. Americans...I hate to say are a complacent people also, which leads to mis-understanding from other cultural groups. Finally there is our President...I think from what you wrote above I need not expound on this issue. Yes Americans ARE very dis-liked, but this is not all together unfounded.

I think most Americans hate war more than any other country on earth.  We aren't constantly blowing each other up and freaking out every time something upsets us.  It happens, there are psychos everywhere, but in general America is a very safe place to live because we aren't violent as a people.

Because Canada is known as a friendly country and they don't have tons of enemies like the Americans do.  Most other countries hate America.

Because Islam does not preach the killing of infidels. You can see many ancient communities still living in Muslim societies like the Jews and Zoroastrians of Iran, the Coptics of Egypt, and the aboriginals of Malaysia.\n\nThe "sudden" hate towards US is not specifically by the Muslims, in fact Americans don't know that most of the world aren't fond of America. This is because of it's forcefulness towards other nations by implimenting forced democracy and its very bad foreign policy. It's media are also to be blamed as they say that America is the best country in the world and that made Americans think that they are the only important thing in this world.\n\nAfricans are getting thinner and dying, while Americans are getting fat and partying. Distribute and share your wealth! You're like the millionaire in a very very very poor village. Do you think the village will respect you?

It doesn't matter to me at all.\n\nWhy - Because the world hates America, always have and always will.  This hatred didn't start with Iraq or Bush (either Bush), it has always existed.

The real deal with us British who some over the pond label as "anti-American" is not that we are against the American people as such. What I, as an "anti-American" dislike is the policies of successive USA governments. As individuals, almost all the Americans I have ever come in contact with, have been brilliant - good company and very hospitable. Good people in every way. Its just a pity that such good people never seem to get the kind of government they deserve.

Not all Muslims hate Americans.\n\nOf the many people in the world that hate us...I have found it is usually because of our pressure for them to conform to our ways...our society. We tend to push countries to accept stuff like: \nour restaurants (like McDonalds)\nour clothing\nour language\nour music\nour lifestyle (physically lazy, internationally inept, linguistically moronic)\nour religion\netc\n\nDo people hate us for supporting Israel? Well, I have heard they think we are pretty hypocritical in our support for Israel. For example....why was the US against the Berlin wall but a proponent for a while of Israel building one? Why is the US critical of China's "abuse" of human rights and torture when the US is NOT critical of Israel's use of the same?\n\nRe hypocricy- Why do we continue to ignore human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia but not China? Or Iran? Or Iraq? Why not just say "well, Saudi is stable, and friendly towards the US...so, we cut them more slack than we do Iran". ??\n\nAlso, our hypocrisy is wider than that. Why did we stop Iraq from abusing their citizens but not Sudan. I believe it was because of oil. And, I am fine with that explanation. For sure, we need oil....but why not just say "we need oil, and because we need oil, we need a politically stable middle east....and, because we need political stability, we are going to create 'no fly zones' in Iraq and reduce Saddam's power."\n\nAnd now...look at Iraq and North Korea. We are in Iraq to get rid of terrorists and (originally) to stop the production of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Fine. Great idea. Nobody wants WMDs in the hands of nutty extremists.\n\nBut why not go into North Korea too? And, why weren't we more critical of nuclear weapons development in Israel?\n\nI think we are critcized and laughed at and hated mostly because of our hypocrisy in international standards. And, its not just Muslims that do the laughing and hating. Believe me....brits laugh at us...french, estonians, russians, lithuanians, italians, australians....the Muslims certainly did not corner the market on seeing our fumbling ways in the international community!

They hate us because they know we have saved their asses and they dont want to admit it.  Have you looked at some of the wimpy men from these countries.  Give me a hot blooded american boy to fight a war over a frenchie anyday.

Simple propaganda is my opinion along with jealousy.  WE are a generous nation and the world is so very Lucky that the USA has been the Superpower for so many years.  Sometimes I think the world wants us to stop evil but not to many other nations want to help so we look like were are med ling.  If we don't help, we're "ignoring the pain and suffering of others".  It's a catch 22 really.  I simply wish other countries would not just "back us" (a lot of our allies) but actually, physically HELP out!!

We don't, live with it. Your arrogant western ideals and insistence on impossing them on other cultures are why they hate us so much. If the people in those countries are that unhappy they can have a civil war. If it isn't popular enough to succeed, too bad.

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.
