This is a list of reasons why America is disliked in the world. I'm not trying to be overly political; I'm just making a point. That said, don't over react or start a flame war. And to those that think I'm singling out the U.S., just look at the title. If I put whats wrong with the world and then talk about the U.S. then your argument would justfied.
21 Reasons Why the World Hates America
1. We’re a big country.
2. We eat too much food and are the fattest country in the world.
3. We pollute the world.
4. We drive the biggest cars (which pollute).
5. Our society is torn between conservatism and liberalism, with people refusing to change society even though it needs to in order to keep up with the world.
6. We guzzle oil.
7. We prop up dictatorships that do things that go against American morals.
8. Our government does things that go against American morals.
9. We’re a snotty, rude, and stuck up society that thinks we’re better than everyone else.
10. We have foreign policy that still thinks that we are in the Cold War
11. We act like we are still a superpower.
12. We tell other countries what to do, using our military to back it.
13. We put restrictions on things, such as weed and the drinking limit, which drives people to break those laws. We then refuse to change these restrictions, even though it would lower crime.
14. We are a crime ridden society, with some of the worst violence and breaking of laws in any developed country.
15. Things that seem natural, such as love and sex, are made taboo subjects by idiotic parents.
16. When something bad happens, Americans overreact to the extreme, making something that was a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10 look like a 20.
17. Many people are racist and stereotype people.
18. We claim to be and open a welcoming country, where in reality, we routinely deport people and make society hostile to newcomers.
19. We are a Christian majority country (a reason the Muslim world hates us)
20. We support Israel and attack terrorist groups (ditto)
21. We elected George W. Bush and his administration. ‘Nuff said.
This is kind of a joke people. Lighten up.
#27; Currently overstocking THE Nukes like plenty of other countries which everyone in their right minds MUST hate for threatening the future of anybody on planet Earth.
Genocide is and has been punishable by Law and any militaristic regimes should be disarmed by Pacifists, with subliminal & intelligent force or otherwise by any other means necessary.
The real Freedom of expression isn't nuclear threat(s) or warfare devices.
Back to you, retard.
I must say I lol'ed at #17.
Yeah, too funny. Kind of like 16, too. The OP is a bit overreactionary, if a bit out of touch.
#28 - Tupperware parties.
When ever I feel to self important I watch this video, brings me back down and tells me how important I really am.
lol so many butthurt people in this thread. Makes me think of Bill Oreilly where he goes on a U CANT BE CRITICALS OF AMEERIKA!!!! rant.
#29 One of the richest most well of nations of the world yet:
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Pff I had to put the laptop litterally 2 inches in front of my eyes to read that.
Yes I use the laptop in bed, the world must hate me too
of what??? of our delicious kittens!
That is a nice kitten...I'll take three dozen (We're having a party).
Hmm, you do have a point there...
ok, so, the freakiest thing i ever saw, when i was in italy this summer, i saw a cat - whose left eye was green, and whose right eye was purple and yellow. really cool though. unfortunately, i didnt get a picture
Kittens are stupid currency.
Don't eat teh kittehs!!!
Om nom nom!
I find this OP in bad taste. I see what it is trying to do, but it was just asking for trouble. Fortunately kittens can diffuse any situation.
Everytime Obama says "God bless" in a political speech god kills a kitteh!! (See what I did there?!)
Hey guys let's start a flamebait thread and then put "LOL IT'S A JOKE GET IT" at the end to absolve ourselves of responsibility for the toolfest that follows.
Considering that outside of the United States, 'American' and 'stupid', or 'fat', are often interchanged in a sentence as both a joke and a dig at the US of A, I think we can treat this thread as a joke. When someone from the US makes cracks about "DA CRIMININIMALS OF AUSTRAWLIA!" or some such, we all laugh. Why is this any different?
A fantastic piece of comedy history was penned by John Cleese some years ago, enjoy:Dear Citizens of America,
^
Perhaps if it were funny, and not obvious flamebait, I would agree with you.
The OP is no John Cleese.
Well it's funny to me
It was quite funny, I assure you. It certainly wasn't in good taste, and clearly wasn't written by John Cleese, however from a country produced "SCARY MOVIE 2-11", "DATE MOVIE", "DISASTER MOVIE" and "EPIC MOVIE" I thought tasteless humour would have gotten more of a laugh.
Oh, my bad.
Touché Besides look at how the US portrayes mexicans, indians, the french, etc in movies. It's kind of lame to get mad when other people do the same to you.
I wasn't aware that I was mad. I thought I was calling out an obvious set of flamebait, masked as a poor joke.
My bad again!
