Lets have an honest answer on the one. Is it just me or do you think that every country that the U.S.A. has?

they have. it's partly our own fault. quite a bit of these countries we've helped, we put their officials into government and they turned around and went after us. but our presidents have a funny way of helping people out which isn't always advantageous to everyone. maybe we shouldn't get into everyone else's business.

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!!

For all of America's weath and influence, for all of its powerful media, we are surprisingly isolated from the world.  What's more, we are still very slowing climbing out of the cultural muck that has allowed many of us to believe we are literally superior to the rest of the world.\n\nAmerica continues to behave arrogantly to the world, insisting we always know best, and our interests should be always honored.  It has done a great deal of harm to us the past 15 year in my opinion.\n\nIf only some of us could see ourselves in the eyes of those around us in the world.  Of course, most of us are so conceited and self-involved that we couldn't care less.

Depends on the individuals.  I believe that America is the best country in the world but some Americans are not worth the space they take up.

We do not all think we are the best.  I am no better than any other man or woman.  We all bleed the same.  And lets face it, Italy is going to kick the $hit out of the US soccer team. But there are vastly huge differences in the freedoms of the USA and other countries.  The USA has many different climates.  If you don't like a certain area, you just pack up and move. That's freedom.  This country was founded by protestants, but even if you are a Satan worshiper, your rights are protected under the US Constitution.  The reason 71% of Europe hates the US is because of one A$$ Clown! Our president.  He has made terrible decisions that have made the rest of the world hate us.  As Americans we have the right to make a change by voting, and believe me, the American people will make serious changes in our government in 2008.  Just give us some time.  The American people are not out to make enemies even though our government is.  Believe me the American people are just as pissed off at Bush as the rest of the world, but one of the things that makes this country so great is the ability of the people to change our government.  By no means does this make us better than anyone else in the world. It simply means that those who have the ability to change things have a responsibility to change things.

America is commonly accepted as the United States.  I know it is hugely incorrect, but that is how it is interperted.\n\nFor fucks sake, Jessica, do you have your own thoughts, or do you just post what somebody else has already writen?

You think there's only one?\n\nFirst, until Bush there were still a lot of people all over the world who didn't hate America (which is surprising, when you think about it).\n\nFor over a century America has supported many of the most brutal and oppressive governments in the world, in many cases, we put them into power in the first place (Shah of Iran and Pinochet spring to mind).\n\nWe are the sole supporters of Israel, which the rest of the world has often tried to officially condemn and sanction for its appalling abuse of human rights.\n\nCurrently, our Ambassador the the UN believes that America has the right to murder and steal from anyone we want, simply because we are powerful enough to get away with it. (He has said so publicly.)\n\nA lot of people all over the world are really sick of Americans saying things like "We're the only country in the world with freedoms like freedom speech." This is false, and shows the world that Americans are ignorant, arrogant bigots.\n\nAmericans consume more resources, and generate more pollution, per capita than any other people -- by far.\n\nAmerica commits torture (and doesn't care who knows it). America has the death penalty.\n\nAmerica has the worst infant mortality rate of any developed country.\n\nYet Americans act as though none of these things were true, and brag and swagger and put down everyone else, as though they weren't intelligent, civilized people.\n\nAmerica attacked and destroyed a much smaller and less powerful country for no reason, and turned its resources over to known thieves.\n\nMost people (mistakenly) believe we elected one of the worst, most brutal, ignorant, arrogant morons in the world -- twice -- to the position of most dangerous -- whoops! I mean most powerful person in the world.\n\nAmerican foreign policy has been driven by a Puritan-Christian "morality" (that's deeply immoral) and which we try to foist on the rest of the world against their will.\n\nAmerica, the richest country in the world, gives a smaller percent of our wealth in aid than any civilized country.\n\nWell, the list goes on and on, but the above are a few of the reasons many people in other countries hate America.

People that think that 1 % of USA like football is on crack...\neven if it is 25% of the US that is still over 50 mill people...over half the small nations in the WC don't even have that many in their country.\nSoo since we have the number 1 economy in the world...\nA lot of people go to World Cups.\nI'm not rich but have had major surgeries.That is why friends are helping me go check out Ghana & USA.\nGO USA!!

I think America is arrogant :&#92; sometimes the individuals, but mostly the nation as a whole. It gets kind of annoying when people sit there praising America as if it has no faults and all other nations have no merits. Thats what I hear around alot.. "America is the best and everything else sux" It gets kind of annoying sometimes.

Unfortunately there is some level of corruption in every country.  But it is still our (the U.S.) choice if we want to give them aide or not and people shouldn't complain if the U.S. stops giving aide to a country like Pakistan for instance.

I agree with you. Americans think that we can boss around every one we please. We have a severe case of nationalism, and arrogance.

Yes!!Take a closer look!! Through economics or politics, the U.S.already controls the world.Anyone who speaks out against them( Bush Administration)-France,Iraq,Iran,Venezuela-face invasion or some other form of retaliation. China is being courted,Cuba is being paid,Mexico has the illegal immigrant thing going on and there is no balance of power left. It would take the other countries banding together to stop this and they are kept distracted with internal turmoil or an unwillingness to put aside their long standing differences.What was your question again??Peace.

There isn't a country that is more important than any other one, because a country is comprised of people. If I were to say that my country, America, is the most important, then essentially I'd be saying that the people who live in America are more important than those of any other country. Which, of course, is silly!

YES.US does think tat its d Godfather of the world.The so called "Super power" does not hav empathy towards the people of other counntries such as Iraq & pakistan & so on.\n\nThey are only concerned about themselves.

yup. America as a whole is only interested in helping /destroying countries that get into it's way / hurt it.\nthere has been Aid , dont get me wrong, and we have accepted refugees FROM YUGOSLAVIA but, there is little media concern which means the general population cannot pester the government to spend more than it wants.\nthere is also crisis in burma, Africa,south america where the loss is like 20x worse than 9/11 but that gets virtually NO PRESS.
