Well there is not much to like about them.\nthey are obnoxious\nThey cause 25% of the worlds pollution and wont sign the kyoto protocol.\nThey start wars with other countries, usually ones with massive oil assets\nTheir president is a coc.k sucker\n \nProbably because most of the world does and you are doing what feels right.\n\nIts a shame they dont realise this.  But, I guess they are too pre occupied with themselves

I dont hate America.But the world`s richest , most powerful and freest secular democracy should be liked by all.America fails to command that  respect .The reasons are 1)America supports monarchies,Theocracies,Military dictatorships,human right violators,and almost gives nothing to poorer countries. 2)When poor but learned youth want to migrate there American "private employers" pay a pittance to them and exploits cheap labor.3)In America cheap labor include doctors,dentists,software professionals and biotechnologists. 4)America wages WAR  against communism but after ousting the communist regimes (governing the poorest of the poor) leaves the victims(people) high and dry. 5) American freedom has gone to extremes by legalising homo-trans-sexuality and and loose sex. 6)Majority of Americans are Christians,but none in America emulates Jesus in loving the lowest the least and the last. and7)America unrealistically spends zillions of money on "space" and "army"while America`s own blacks live in "mobile"houses.

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.

US has got to be the most hated. And I like living here and all, but I can really see why other countries hate us so much.

I have learned that it is not the American people that the rest of the world doens't like, it's the politics and policies of the government.  Sometimes it comes across as anti-american.  I do wish that the ones who are saying these things would get to know some Americans as you have.  There are good and bad from everywhere.

You are talking about the America before George Bush. Don't be so quick to jump on the "I hate America" bandwagon. Most people hate us simply because they do not enjoy the freedoms we have here and they are envious of that. Move here and change your attitude.

I'm and Arab and a Muslim (score!) and I do not hate the U.S., but I sure as hell hate the unethical and evil corruption that is polluting the country! This country WOULD be great, without the sexism, the racism, and all the ignorant people! And the fake media that sabotoges peoples lifestyles and personalities, that changes the mental condition of everyone! I don't hate this country- I just hate the crap brewing within it. I hope this helps at all...

American people are like people anywhere, some great ones and some losers.  Their politicians get them in a lot of trouble though ... but then, that is much like politicians everywhere.\n\nThe main problem with some, not all,  Americans is that they think the rest of the world wants to be like them, which makes people dislike them.  Some Americans don't seem to understand that the rest of the world really doesn't want to be like them.

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.

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.

Many Americans (unlike myself) are stupid, ignorant, xeno-phobic, racist, are willing/unwilling fools participating in discrimination, fearful and hateful, and ethno-centric assholes. \n\nIt is sad that like the propaganda bull shit shoved by both goverments is followed by their supporters, our goverment is led by a bunch of rich selfish hateful shameless assholes that are minons of the rich and powerful just like theirs is. Both goverments feed both of us lies and many of us are mindless fools of the proganda and we belive the stories about how evil the other one is. \n\nBoth governments have leaders that say they care about the own people but really don't and all they really care about is themselves and their masters (who have even more money and power then them). Both governments are also lead by so-called religious leaders and that a crock of shit! I say both are horrible examples of Christians and Muslims. \n\nBoth have a bunch of mindless followers and minons to do thier bidding. \n\nI like all kinds of people and I have nothing against anyone. I wish I could say the same of all Americans

I don't think that all Egyptians hate Americans but we are rather unpopular in many places. Most of it has to do with the fact that America is a super power and there are a lot of misconceptions about us, just as there many misconceptions about Muslims and Middle Easterners in general. Ignorance is persons worst enemy because it breeds misunderstanding and misunderstanding breeds fear. If we would all take the time to learn about each other's cultures then it would go a long way in the world peace process. Try to familiarize yourself with people and issues before you make a judgment. You'll be a much more intelligent and wise person if you do.

Well, this may come as a shock to you, but Americans DO own MOST of the world.  The entire world's economy is based on the US dollar. Technology and productivity, human rights, and quality of life have improved ALL OVER THE WORLD because of American innovative thought and ( YES!! ) compassion!\n\nWhy are we now embroiled in a situation where MANY ( NOT ALL!! ) non-American's hate us?..I think it is JEALOUSY!!\nYes, there are GREEDY and SELFISH American's...But I think you'll find those faults also in other cultures.\n\nBottom line: Americans only want the BEST for everyone!!..We don't want to conquer or impose our will on anyone.  But we will fight to preserve our way of life! And the world would be better off if other governments would simply recognize that fact, and let us HELP them.\n\nDon't under sell American resilience and resourcefullness!\nWe will be a powerful force to deal with for MANY more years.\n\nDon't tread on us!!

No I did not see Americans hate some kind of people specifically.\nsome Americans would hate blacks some would hate Arabs some would hate the Natives...etc.. so they are  just like any other normal people or nation.\n\nI am sorry for what happened to your friend, but that  dose not give us the right to generalize one case on ALL the Americans, they 350 million people...take easy man

The brits hate americans because in britain they have a "class system" which in america there is also a class system but its alot more prevalent in the UK. The brits instictively want to find out what a persons class system is when they start a conversation and this same need follows them everywhere. A brit wants to feel superior to an American but the problem with the UK is that it has alot of very poor brits. The US has alot of money so brits will throw their "culture" at americans as fast as they can so the can feel they're a higher "class" even if they're a lower class brit.

i have no problem with americans, im english by the way, we are all the same, i dont care much for the bush administration especially on foreign policy but hey blair aint no better thats just politics, i judge people on who they are not where they come from, the world is only a small place and we are the same. i like the way you mention how we think americans are disrespectful i dont know about all americans but john s seems to be, not just disrespectful but ignorant also, we fought in those wars aswell john, and you were only our allies, allies that played a small part only in the war against hitler, we dont blame america for our misfortunes, we blame ourselves and colonialism where we exhausted ourselves giving the world "freedom" the same sort of "freedom" mr bush and mz rice are handing out now to the middle east, and we did that round about the same time that your ancestors john moved over to america from one of our (probably britain) nations, but anyway back to the question i dont dislike americans at all, i find myself disliking john s but thats just one american
