Is jealousy one of the reasons why foreigners hate America?
489010
It is the biggest reason I think, and from there the reasons go down hill.\n\n1)  We support another country so they hate us (Israel is the most common answer).\n\n2)  We don't like to give money away without strings.  They hate strings being attached to money so they resent us for telling them how to spend our money.\n\n3)  They disagree with our values.  Oddly enough they'd hate liberals even more for their open ways, but they view America as morally corrupt.

Thats the point !!! ........ they think they're the world and nobody else exists, americans are selfish and stuck up in themselves and then they dont even want to share what they have, you can see that in their strict inmigration laws. Thats why they have so many enemies across the world, many countries hate them some of them dont tell that openly because of diplomacy but they do. Cause americans think they're the big s**t and every where they go they think every one is there to serve them. But one day the nation will fall like any other in history and their ego will fall with them.

they're basically jealous.  america is powerful, for some reason the rest of the world cannot separate the people from the govt.  and they don't like our govt.

Hate is a powerful word...an emotion that can cause harm to others. It obliterates good judgement, changes decent people into obnoxious (and sometimes violent) individuals/mobs.  It is sad when people, who need to be right all the time, think they are.\n\nAmerica is not "pure and without sin".  I know you were just trying to point out that America is as good as it gets (and I agree), but America is run/influenced by individuals who are sometimes motivated by self-serving interests rather than looking out for the good of the country.  So, in some instances, America does not come off looking like the great nation it is/should be.\n\nAmerica has strayed from it's founders' ideas for a great nation, which was based on Christianity.  We were great when Christianity was at the head of this country.  Because believing in God and following his word does not allow certain behaviors (encouraged by the devil, himself), there are those who have chosen to "change" what is right to fit their wants and desires.  Sin catches on easily...so, we are becoming a mess...and it shows to Americans and to other countries.  (Of course, jealousy is a common thread too).\n\nWe still have a great country, but we are in need of some good, old fashioned values.  We need to follow God's rules and get back into shape.  It will take some doing, but those that believe need to stand up and say, "This is my America too, and we will follow God/Christianity!"

Because Americans are more ignorant, and far more arrogant than Europeans.  Americans hate because people are different without first seeing if the hate is warranted or even if the basis of that hate is valid.  Hate is part of American culture and has been since the first settlers hated the Native Americans, through to the French, Irish, English, Germans, Japanese, Italians, Blacks, and now, just any old immigrant.

They don't hate America.  They only loath the US foreign policy and some arrogant Americans.  Besides, don't generalize.  The individuals who come here are not necessarily the ones who screamed "Down with America".  Maybe it's their neighbors.  Go ask them to be sure.

Yes, I don't think Americans are very well liked there. Or even let in.

People hate each other because they are not pleased with themselves which causes them to become jealous of others. Most people are jealous because they see others with the things they feel should be thiers instead of focusing on themselves and trying to get things on their own.

there are many reasons that people hate america. imagine you were say a 10 year old in afghanistan. you just are living your life, you have done absolutely NOTHING wrong, and then the U.S. starts bombing your country. why do they do this... only because the u.s. are extremely oil dependant and greedy!! now i am not talking about al-quaida or anything, but the sentiment in the middle east and many other areas in the world is at a gigantic low since president bush was elected. the u.s. is not what it used to be, a country that helped out others in time of need, but they governed by power crazy men.

You make a very good point. It is NOT American to hate America, however certain people think it's in vogue now. The PC, Bush is Hitler, 9/11 was inside job crowd. How can a person really believe these things and continue to live here? Why is it that everyone else on the planet can be proud of their "homeland" but us?

can I answer if I not from America?:) \nfor most of the people America is a bussines country. everything is negociable, even the faith, even the friendship. \nand people who want to make money want to live in America. and when they go there, they try to find people from their country and live toghether. \nso, America is like a temptation for have a better life.\n\nand is not about hate, but fear. the fear of losing the family tradition, the things that are saint for you. because, when you have the freedom to do everything, you can lose everything.

Well, I have to say, you're being very stereotypical. It's obvious that you don't like Americans, but don't you think that you're generalizing, just a bit? Most Americans have moved on from being prejudiced. Now, I'm not saying that the whole of America isn't prejudiced, because there are a large number of prejudiced people. But isn't it the same in other countries as well? And how exactly do Americans show off? I don't understand. And perhaps we do sometimes get in business that maybe we shouldn't, such as Iraq, but that shouldn't be a reflection on our country, it's a reflection on the choices of the president. And like the person above me said, there are some tourists who think they're God's gift to mankind, but not everyone is like that. A few people shouldn't be cause to hate a whole country. No person, no country, is perfect.

No, I don't think Americans have any dislike for the British. Also, I think it's hard to generalize the characteristics and opinions of a whole entire nation ..especially one as diverse as the United States.

Most of them don't hate America; they only loath the US foreign policy, which they believe is bullish and unfair.  So, don't generalize. Of course, there are still some who hate America no matter what but they are the exception (just like there are Americans who hate other countries or even the rest of the world, no matter what).

Yes, I totally agree!\n\nI'm not trying to sound ignorant here, but the average American is rather close-minded to the rest of the world. They need to get their heads out of their butts, and learn that others really do exist out there. \n\nI think that's part of the overall reason why other nations feel resentment towards them.

Depends... if you're talking about America the country and it's foreign policy... If that is what you hate.. no. I despise all of the nation states between Turkey and the Japan, but I'm not racist because I have friends from many of those counries and like them.  But, if it means to hate Americans themselves, then you hate ALL races. Everyone has the potential to be an American. But, you can't move to Italy and be Italian. Or France to be French. And you certainly can't Indian or Arabic unless you were born that way. Americans are bound by ethnicity. \n\nYou're stupid to be Anti-American. The world without America would be rubble. We KEEP the peace.
