I'm sad whenever I hear of people hating one another. There are a lot of horrible things going on in the world, and many of them are done from plain old ignorance. I think if we could raise the level of education among people, a lot of this cruelty would disappear.  How can anyone actually hate another human being?  You have to feel sorry for someone who is full of hate.

The French.  The country as a whole is not only arrogant, overconfident and ungrateful, but extremely hypocritical. There is the freakishly strong socialist government that, despite the protests and riots, the French seem to love, evident by the sheer number of civil servants. But what it really comes down to is that the French as a whole, have a pathetic work ethic.  The 35 hour work week, one of the lowest, if not the lowest in Europe, cripples the French production capabilities.  The job for life means that no matter how bad of an employee you are you can't be fired.  Anyone who has ever had to work with a French government agency, even as simple as the post office, knows that it takes absolutely ages to get anything done, because of the huge volume of paperwork that accompanies everything, and the fact that the employees work excruciatingly slow.  In the end though, France has so many problems, it hardly matter what their biggest problem is! FYI - the April 1st Economist had some interesting articles about this very question.

New Zealnaders rather like you Canadians: you make polite guests, and you have charming accents. We share a lot in common, such as government and hatred for all Americans :), and we are both quiet acheivers in international politics. \n\n We don't like the fact that you still have French people, and have stopped playing international cricket and rugby, though. :)

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.

Because the French, Polish, Germans, etc haven't cried loud enough.  Neither have they come to this country and try to force their culture and way of life down our throats.

The issue is illegal immigraiton. Read more. Everybody and their dog is trying to bum-rush the border these days, and americans don't want a France in their backyard. If you don't understand what that's all about, then sit down and read about all the immigration problems france has been having, the riots etc.\nWe don't want, nor do we need all of that garbage in america. Hence the need to uphold our immigration laws. We need a lot more law enforcement on the job. Do you want to see america tank? Honestly? What kind of country do you want YOUR kids to grow up in? Choose carefully...

and the french have had to be bailed out of every war since world war 1 because every one knows that they are cowards and won't fight even to save their lives or country. the reason it is so nice in france is that a lot of good American and British men died so you can sip your wine and insult America.\nyou are an a$$

It's not that easy...history is history...the only way that people would stop hating would be if everyone had a sudden case of acute amnesia. I wish everyday that everyone would get along. Sometimes people are nice but other times you don't have the energy to deal with it.

I don't know why there is all this hatred towards Mexicans-what have they done?

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.

Finally, a REAL issue (sarcasm).\n\nMaybe you won't be happy until we are in the same predicament as the French.
