I am a liberal. Do I hate America? Of course not! I love America as much as you do, maybe more. I love the ideals of the Declaration of Independence where it states that all men are endowed with the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I cherish the Constitutional notions of checks and balances. I worship the freedoms laid out in the Bill of Rights. I take seriously the welcoming call of the Statue of Liberty to give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.\n\nWhat you see as "hate" would be more properly described as "disappointment". I am disappointed when our leaders and our nation stray from these sacred American ideals. If there is any hate, it is not for America or Americans, it is for the leadership that betrays America.\n\nI say that if you love something or someone, then you are particularly concerned when that something or someone turns out to be broken or sick. When your child has a fever, you don't waste time bragging to everyone that he's an honor student, you take him to the doctor. And you don't accuse the doctor of hating your child when he points out that he has an infection. You thank the doctor, you get the prescription antibiotics, and you work hard to heal your child.\n\nFurthermore, you aren't "blaming the child first" by noticing that the child is sick. There's nothing wrong with pointing out America's problems. If you can't identify the problems, you can't begin to solve them. When America has done something wrong, however, I'm more than happy to blame America first. For example, America illegally invaded, occupied, and tortured the people of a sovereign nation that was no threat to us. Who am I supposed to blame for that, Zimbabwe?\n\nI have no intention of moving to France, the country that gave us modern democratic political philosophy, crucial military support in the Revolutionary War, that big green lady in the New York harbor, and steadfast alliance for our entire existence. As I've already pointed out, I love America, too, so there's no reason I should leave. Loving America means staying here and putting in the hard work needed to see America live up to her ideals.\n\nIf I see a friend doing something that could hurt him, I don't cheer him on and tell him he's doing the right thing. Admittedly, that would be the easiest (or most amusing, in a sick kind of way) thing to do. The harder—and more responsible—approach is to warn my friend of the dangers of his actions. It might piss him off, but I have to be willing to take that chance.

That is an interesting point about America from its neighbour. It is a pity that Americans have not earned the good will of even one of his neighbours. They need to have a re look at their international relations and relations with their neighbours.

I think it's very funny when people say that we owe America anything. I mean, we did help you against the English when you wanted to become independent. And we are happy that you helped us against Hitler.\n\nSome French people don't like Americans because they think they ALL are stupid. I think those French persons are really stupid. \n\nBut to answer your question, some Americans don't like the French because our government decided NOT to go and fight in Iraq. In that case, Americans should hate pretty much the whole world since the majority of people in the world disapproved of their government getting involved in that conflict. No, wait. Actually, a lot of Americans should also hate Americans because a lot of them demonstrated against that war!\n\nPS: We do shave our armpits! I mean, only older women (like in their 60s) don't. Actually, I think they do, now! Actually, we shave everything! I don't have a single body hair (except my eyebrows, of course). We also bathe everyday, some even do it twice a day! We also know what a deodorant is (actually, I knew one girl who stank and, in the bus that took us to school, we were all wondering if we should ask her if she knew what a deodorant was).\n\nAs for tourists... Well, if you go to Paris, just know that a lot of French people don't like Parisians because they are said to be arrogant. \nI agree that French people are not really helpful. But they do the same with French people, so don't take it personally. \nAlso, try to keep in mind that a lot of French people can't speak English. Actually, it's getting better but it's still unusual. So, if you can't speak French, knowing that the French are not really patient when it comes down to giving information, don't be surprised if they don't give a shit about you.\nI'm French and find this EXTREMELY ANNOYING too! Once, I came back from England and had like 4 heavy baggages. NOBODY helped me! In England, in one hour, 6 persons helped me carry them! I also don't like the French for that! \nBut not everybody is like that: I'm very nice (and so are my friends) and always try to help, above all foreigners (even if we don't speak the same language) as I know it's a pain in the ass to be lost in a foreign country.\nTo our defense, I would just remind you that the French usually find you EXTREMELY loud, even if there are only 2 of you. So remember: everybody's got their fault!

The country is divided yes, but thats not the reason people can't talk to eachother.  Americans are spoiled, selfish, and generally immature.  Instead of intellectual discussion, we resort to name-calling and clicks.  Its really sad, but I don't know how to fix it.  Maybe we could build a giant hand to slap everyone upside the head or something so that they would shut-up and listen to eachother? (j/k)

Why they hate Americans is beyond me. You ask good questions and I find it offensive that idiots like to limit others opinions.. I know yours are always on the right track. Keep asking them and ignore them. I do at least while I laugh my silly bum off... See how easy that is.. I gave you a thumbs up too.. when I happen upon you.. Take care..

Amazing I was just iM'ing someone saying that exact thing.  Yes, I am sick of the fake people, the people living in denial, the fact that people think pop/country music is good along with mcdonalds and reality shows being popular!  Where am I?  What happened to where America was supposed to be going ??  I love what America can be and what it has been, but we've lost our stride here a little bit people.  Yes, I am sick of it all.......We're overindulging ourselves with fakeness & stupidity to deny the fact that we're living in an Military-Industrialized bubble making us insane and completely stupid.  Of course, that's just my opinion....I could be wrong.   good luck everyone!

America is the most beautiful country i think, in the world. Good government, good land, good structure. But unfortunately most of the people i don't like. No-one friendly, bush-haters, Jesus-haters, and a million more. Nobody will say "hi" or wave any more. They make fun of people they don't like and envy. People get so offended, no more holidays on calenders, "my holiday is not on there." etc. i have seen so many smart-Alick answers on here. nobody will be NICE anymore. It bothers me. and not to mention the cussing. I am equally disappointed.

There was a similar conversation going on within yahoo 360. I, being an American, can do nothing more than agree with you on most points. I don't know that I would go as far as to say that as a whole we are worse than Hitler, but I have mentioned to several that I work with that I feel, our President Bush is modern days version of Hitler. \n\nI think, unfortunately, that most (not all) foreigners don't realize that most (not all) Americans don't like the man either! His approval rating as of yesterday was 33%. That's pretty bad. We don't like that he seems to be a bully to others and don't like that we are as a whole viewed as believing the way he does. The argument can be made that "we" re-elected the man. I understand that, although I did not. I didn't vote for him either time. I think the general thought at the time, was that he started something we better let him finish it, since (in theory) he should know what he's doing. Ha!\n\nAs far as history is concerned. I can't argue that either. But again, like every other country that is judged, and they all are, the country as a whole does not necessarily believe the same as their leaders do. I think in the beginning they put on a good "show" and are then elected into leadership. Whom ever puts on the best show wins the "prize". It sucks.\n\nMy response in the discussion to the blog was similar to what is here. I also said that I really hope that someday people just learn to accept others for what they are and what they believe. There is no right or wrong way. There is only what people believe is best for them. That includes democracy! It might be OK for us, but not for others. Our way is not necessarily the "best" way. I just wish everyone could leave everyone else alone.
