Well I have been browsing through the forums lately, and I have seen a lot of posts saying they hate America, The USA sucks, yadda yadda yadda. Here is what I have found just in a 2 minute period of time.
Personally I don't think USA is the best country, but the worse!
I hate most Americans.
They are racists
Their goverment is awfull
I don't like all americans.
america sucks
Now thats just me scavenging over a 2 minute time span. Imagine a 5 minute time span. That would insanity. Anyway, when I joined AG everybody seemed nice and friendly. Now I just don't feel comfortable here anymore. I will warn you. The site is half American right? So if you guys keep this up, you will lose a lot of popularity. Discuss?
Well, I agree, but it isn't the only factor. If so, we'd all be speaking Chinese and celebrating CHinese new year.
China is a special case because a lot of the population actually lives outside of modernized, Huang Valley China.
I don't mean in cultural influence, I mean in the general wellbeing of the country - especially with a power as big as Russia, a high rate of population decline can potentially lead the place to crash and burn extremely fast.
i don't really hate Americans i hate the politicians, their the ones that messed us up.
Agreed. We need to entirely revamp the entire political system in the U.S. Make being a politician less about being rich, high status, etc; more about helping the people. All they do is bicker like children.
They are jealous that we are the remaining world superpower and our country can kick their a$$.
That's where it comes from.
I don't hate America
I dislike many things about it.
I don't hate Americans.
I dislike a lot of them though =P
Things that have contributed to my hatred of America:
That whole let's put a america-friendly dictator in Cuba, that whole Vietnam thing, the "OMG election in 2.5 YRS GET READDDY," Fox News, lack of knowledge about Canada (if you don't believe me i will blow ur mind with links xd)
the drug policies, the health care atm, the poor public school system, attitude toward immigrants, and....lameness
even the terrorists take note when a country's military goes on vacation.
it's not a vacation. Heck we shouldn't even be in that war eh. I mean golly, other countries are pulling out you're darn lucky we're just takin a break.
I am an American, and I do see that the anti-USA people do have extremely valid points, but hear someone who agrees with you who's actually there.
Positves of America: 1. Plentiful food 2. Powerful military 3. has developed many types of research in the sciences Negatives of America: 1. Illusion of freedom 2. Our own ignorance 3. Flawed political system 4. High rates of crime 5. Too much greed 6. Blind Patriotism
I don't hate my country. I just hate most of everyone in it.
I think the image of of the US has improved during the current presidents first term. He has been well received oversees in many locations, much more so than our former president.
They are jealous that we are the remaining world superpower and our country can kick their a$$. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- We hate the fact that you are show-offs.
People like the top quote are 4 and suck. Americans are heavily blasted by stereotypes because some of them are true. like 1/3 people in america are overweight statistically, we are so retarded we didnt see anything wrong in bush being re-elected in florida? i mean really... so much scandle and retards with that they didnt see it. I think everyone hates us because, yes, we do tend to think we're better because were different when it comes to war. we help civilians and think committing suicide is retarded but thats religion. i do understand why people do hate us but just because a few retards in politics were elected and screw up out name doesnt mean we're bad.
Btw... im just curious about how im talking about this... how old would u guess i am? i feel im acting too smart
