nope, we are arogant assholes with little care for any other culture than our own.  we mock anything that we dont understand, and will bomb you if you disagree.\n\nplus, we beat their arses in the revolution.

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.

Like other nationalities, some are good some are bad! Depends. I like Americans because they are friendly, open, direct, go getter but they can be too full of themselves, too patriotic and often feel they are the best.

I wasn't aware that's what people thought.... I've always quite liked Americans, provided they don't display the same arrogance as you....

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.

blame paris hilton and george w bush.\nLOL\nBut yes we see americans as being rude crude eating machines at times. We know the names of the states and the majority of americans have never even heard of anything but quebec and ontario. It's amazing cause there are only 10 provinces. I know it's predjudiced because alot of americans are fine people.

I don't know what you were reading but i've never seen anything like this. I don't mind American people, but it is slightly annoying when American users ask questions on the British Answers, concerning stuff going on in the US.

I do not hate Americans but I understand those that do.\nThe global view of America is an arrogant nation that patronises smaller countries That will twist and bend rules and apply pressure to achieve short term goals (next election due) affording scant respect for those of different cultures. There is no understanding of these cultures merely the average american is bewildered as to why other people do not want to be more like them.\nJust a consideration the cold war is littered with cases of American subversion of independent nations The CIA embroiled in scandal after scandal Why? To stop KGB subversion of these same nations so why did the CIA get caught with their hand in the cookie jar and not the KGB not even once. People particulary of the Third World resent the fact that America used this anti KGB front to bribe agitate and generally interfere in local politics\nThe USA in my opinion has overall tried to make the world a better place but as a rule it generally forgot to consult the locals (a principle of democracy) usually because America knew what was best for them and then was usually so Ham Fisted in its efforts that what good it did try to achieve  was lost in the mess

Good Point FCUK!!! Many Americans hate everyone who's not white, blond and blue-green-eyed. Some Argies live illegally in the US, but they're not EVER inconvenienced by the authorities. I've been "randomly" searched at least 11 times in the same number of American airports. Maybe that's because they find my skin colour disturbing. By the way, I'm what Americans call a Browny Beaner. Oh, and I teach English. I hope Imperial Authorities won't think I'm soiling their "pure" language (ever heard about the "anti-Spanish-English-Only" campaign?)

I feel everyone is frustrated and concerned over issues that involve the Middle Eastern dilemma.  But I also feel that these issues should be dealt with, urgently.  The anger some express, is warranted, and is due to the fear of the anger that is not expressed, but is lying in wait to be expressed, by some, and is more prevalent in your backyard, than ours.  But it is also my opinion that this post, was meant to convey fear.  Both Americans and British have both, historically, always enjoyed comedy, and it is part of our (when allowed)  peaceful, good-natured cultures.  But also, historically, when we get continually stepped upon, we both tend to get tired and STOMP VERY HARD BACK, so as to continue with our way of culture.  I guess what I am trying to say is, that in life, and in this post, that Americans and British are more OPEN as to WHO we really are, and what are intentions are.  I hope this helps you understand the differences between anger, fear and tiredness.  And, since I know us Brits and Yanks are considered pretty lacking in awareness, could you please have a sense of humor, and post for me if you are aware of what I am trying to say?-please do, I'm interested.\n\nKirsty S.  You are a sweetheart,so please don't worry.  When you put your head on your pillow tonight, think "Everything will be okay" and KNOW this!!!

nothing is wrong with Americans....there is something wrong with individuals...no mater what their nationality is.  I am sure where ever you live there are crazy people.  It is just the way the world works.

That's how I feel too, I hope we'll get used to it....\n\nGo out and try to find Americans that You get along with, People that share your Interests and Opinions. You will see that NOT ALL AMERICANS ARE EVIL!!!!\nJust give it some time, try to be open towards other People and take your time to get to know them better before You judge them, and also allow them to get to know You better.\nPeople You did not like before maybe turn out to be very cool People, just give them a chance.\n\nThere is so many different Cultures, Religions and Believes mixed together in this country I am sure You will find someone You like to hang out with.\nJust be open.

I am an American citizen but I was not born here.  Americans are people, just like people from Palestine, from France, from China, from Africa, and from other places all over the world.  Some are good, some are bad.  Some I love, some I hate.  It doesn't matter where somebody is from, but what's in their heart.  About the government, yes it is a bad government.  But nobody has a right to judge Americans because of the government.  The same goes for people of other parts of the world.

ur an a$$hole, a rude xenophobic a$$hole. WHy the f*ck would anyone thing that anyone who asks a question is a yank if this is the UK and Ireland Answers thing? What the hell is ur problem, and what do u have against Americans? Oh...and what the hell do u mean when u say "Yank" is that supposed to be an insult? I've never even heard anyone use that term in the last century except in "Yankee Doodle". \nOh...and in case ur too stupid to figure it out...im a very pissed off New Yorker right now.

I personally do not have a problem with American people in general however,having served with American troops I found them to be reckless and,very arrogant with,too much of an attitude when it came to working together.\nI do not judge the American people the same in general,as I have met Americans who are OK and,they are not a lot different to us here in the UK.

Faut pas généraliser ! C'est vrai quand-même que beaucoup d'Américains ont une opinion sur tout sans bouger de leur sofa..FoX TV is GOD !\n\nIt's a love- hate relationship. When I read above - forgot the name , fitzstg- immediately the book "60 million Frenchmen can't be wrong" came to my mind...and it was linked as a source !\n\nBoundaries..what is personal and what is not..we have different notions. People do not understand this concept.\nI would never ever say "I hate such and such nationality" myself. I might dislike a mentality but the person comes first.\n\nIn my view, Americans tend - ON THE WHOLE - to view things as black and white/wrong- right. No shades of grey, no in-between. If you look up answers here, most tend to be : no way or yes....not "depends on the situation..etc".\n\nEuropeans view life and human beings as much more complex than than. Germany and France were enemies for such a long time.....but now they certainly are NOT.\n\nI think some Americans should see what life is all about in Europe. Coming from Northern France, we all look and have respect towards each other. Germans and French will put flowers on cemetaries and we all respect each other. The past is the past. I have yet to view or hear about confrontations between the French and German folks in "sensitive" areas.\n\nI hate those stereotypes too.....especially those which are offending and totally wrong and made from ignorant people on top of that.\n\nForget the stupid people. I have met enough absolutely brilliant, charming, open-minded anglo-saxon people !\n\nThere are always things to learn from another culture too !\n\nYou know..at the end I still don't know !! What I have noticed is that the media in North America is still very much conservative. OK I'm a girl (well..no more) but when I pick up magazines for women from the US.......so boring..the French ones: at least stg interesting !!\n\nBy the way : British people are not stuck up at all !!\n\nNope..I like Americans anyway :-). They have a zest for life, they can be brilliant..Pity too many are "child-like" and not very world-wise and kind of stuck in the past as well ?? Don't forget : so many just do not travel at all and just watch stupid propanganda TV.\n\nBut are the French better ?? On some things yes..but not all ! They are the same : too many think - old generations anyway - that they are better than the rest of the world..NOT ! and say the same things "I hate Americans, Brits etc" without knowing any actually !\n\nBon cela va être à mon tour de me faire crucifier. Il y a plein de cons partout : en France, en Amérique, partout..\n\nPS.. and I do not know what is so good about Frenchmen..either !! Just another stereotype among others. Frenchmen are no better than any other nationalities at all :-))) EH EH !
