You are sick.  You've already posted a question on 9/11 wanting to know if they deserved it, now your're saying no one likes Americans, and I see you've posted another wanting to by a gun.  Don't know who you are but some one should report you.

first off, i am not american\n\nsecond off, i don't think it matters that i am not american anyways\n\nthird off, maybe it is the media giving the impressions that arabs hate americans, there is a lot of propoganda out there so americans stay pro war, and it could lead to misjudged ideas of how the arabs actually feel\n\nfourth off, if you want to change americans minds, then speak out for yourself and let people know you are not hateful of them and know that there are reasons to keep peace!!!!\n\nfifth off, not all americans may feel bad towards arabs. but there is a lot of hatred out there and it is wrong! just because of a bunch of extremists, millions of others are blamed!

Huh, Americans answering a question about why Americans are hated...that’s not biased at all. I am not an American, nor do I hate Americans, but I can understand why some do. First and foremost I wish to say that the opinion I express is meant as general, stereotypical comments about America as a whole, not individual citizens, who are often caring and kind.\n\n1.) America, due to leadership (especially the incompetent Bush Jr.) and polls of the populace’s opinions, seems arrogant and war-mongering. \n\n2.) Currently, Bush appears as a terrorist himself and should be held for crimes of war \n\n3.) America is currently occupying a country that does not desire his “assistance”. \n\n4.) Throughout the years a few American soldiers seem to screw up very badly and act completely amoral towards their follow man in every war or conflict, which makes everyone look bad. \n\n5.) Bush appears so pro-America, he is anti-everyone else and cares little for the advice, assistance, and opinion of other nations...occasionally even his own people (see recent natural disasters and his reactions and lack of willing-ness to accept free assistance from other nations or even his own public disregard for the lives of America soldiers)\n\nThese are a couple reasons. Again, I wish to express I AM NOT anti-American and consider Americans to be our neighbors and generally kind-hearted people. I am anti-Bush however and I feel he makes the entire country look bad. I could go into greater detail, but I hate to ramble. Hope this gave you a little insight.\n\n(Oh and for those arrogant Americans, futher proving my point, who are indicating it is just people from countries with a lot of issues giving any answer but "they are just jealous", I am from Canada...the PEACEKEEPERS with very little domestic strife)

I hate to admit it, and I might have the CIA knocking on my door in a few hours for saying it, but I dont like Americans. I have lived here my whole life and I think that as a whole, Americans are arrogant, greedy, simpleminded, intolerant, ignorant, and superficial. (Case in point: work2twerk who posted your first answer.) We have a horrible system of not taking care of our children and elderly and those who are sick. We can not see a doctor when we need to because we are uninsured and we can not go to college because we can not afford to. Something isnt right when the richest country on the Earth can not care for it's citizens.

Because Americans are stupid

Well, I have to say, you're being very stereotypical. It's obvious that you don't like Americans, but don't you think that you're generalizing, just a bit? Most Americans have moved on from being prejudiced. Now, I'm not saying that the whole of America isn't prejudiced, because there are a large number of prejudiced people. But isn't it the same in other countries as well? And how exactly do Americans show off? I don't understand. And perhaps we do sometimes get in business that maybe we shouldn't, such as Iraq, but that shouldn't be a reflection on our country, it's a reflection on the choices of the president. And like the person above me said, there are some tourists who think they're God's gift to mankind, but not everyone is like that. A few people shouldn't be cause to hate a whole country. No person, no country, is perfect.

they're basically jealous.  america is powerful, for some reason the rest of the world cannot separate the people from the govt.  and they don't like our govt.

Simple, because Americans are wankers, f*ing gullable as well.

The real deal with us British who some over the pond label as "anti-American" is not that we are against the American people as such. What I, as an "anti-American" dislike is the policies of successive USA governments. As individuals, almost all the Americans I have ever come in contact with, have been brilliant - good company and very hospitable. Good people in every way. Its just a pity that such good people never seem to get the kind of government they deserve.

Europeans don't hate Americans so much as they believe they're getting a distorted view of what America really is, whether it be by media or other sources.  It is hard for many in the world to understand how American soldiers in Iraq, for example, can at one time hunt down insurgents, yet be so kind as to hand out candy and medical supplies to kids in the street.  Few other cultures act that way. \nI don't believe Europeans are jealous of America, because their standard of living is close to that of Americans. But European children are taught to be much more questioning about the world than their American counterparts. Sometimes they are frustrated by the seeming inanity of America's answers.

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.

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.

You don't understand being an American.

I believe most Americans do like immigrants after all that is what our country was founded on.  What Americans do not like is people (immigrants if you will) that abuse the welfare system.  I say don't come if you can't pay your way.  And learn the language please.

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.

I am an American and the truth is Americans are arrogant. Americans will visit a foreign country and call the people there foreigners! lol, it's true. But seriously, I do think that's the reason why...not to mention we are a bit spoiled. Now understand, not ALL Americans are like this but you can safely say the majority fit in this category.
