where to start? could it be because 90% of all americans do not have a Passport- - so they are all well cultured then. Could it be because America is the ONLY place where the Terminator could become a politician. Or could it be because your powers are mixed leading to an unrepresentative state. (Montesquieu)\n\nBasically - the people of America voted for Bush. and now look what has happened. all for oil - you do realise that dont you. The USA needs to be bigger and better than everyone. whether we are talking big macs or WMDs.\n\nBush can spend billions killing people on a daily basis in Iraq, but when katrina hit, the fool didnt know where to look. And Blair is just as bad. Nuff said.\n\noh yeah one more point - Guatanamo Bay.

I don't hate americans, but i really hate american's government. Reasons :\nI can't type it, there is too much reasons why i hate us gov. I just hope that one day, one country send a nuclear bomb that can destroy the whole USA. They deserved it for what they've done to Iraq, Afganishtan, and for all conspiracy that they planned to be the ruler of the world from a long time ago.

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.

We don't, live with it. Your arrogant western ideals and insistence on impossing them on other cultures are why they hate us so much. If the people in those countries are that unhappy they can have a civil war. If it isn't popular enough to succeed, too bad.

Sadly, many of the ignorant people of this world have this view. Not based on anything they actually know about America the country and the people in general of America. Their hatred comes from their hatred of our current leader. They are misguided in their reasoning and shallow people to think this way. Unfortunately there is little chance it will change as there will always be these type of people that cannot see beyond the tip of their nose. American people are not unlike people the world over, there are rich, poor, in between and good and bad people. People from other countries that bad mouth America really don't have a clue, what regular every day life is like here. Such is life! There will always be bigots no matter where one is from.

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.

The liberal demoncraps hate this country.  They want to steal and shape it into a pseudo-socialist/communist state controlled country of their own.  \nIt is not the right; rather it’s the extremist left wing pushing their atheist fundamentalism onto the people through school indoctrination and media manipulation.  \nWhile pretending to be tolerant, they only portray Christians as criminals and kooks in TV shows and movies.  They deny it was freedom OF, not FROM religion that made this country so great.\nThey claim to be tough on crime but only attack the 2nd amendment rights of the (law abiding) people because they know they can take over easier if the people aren’t armed.  Hitler and Stalin and Franco did the same.\n\nPersonally, I think a vote for Anyone (D)* is a vote against the USA. \n*(Dishonest, Deceptive, Demeaning, Disrespectful, Disingenuous, Duplicitous, Diabolic, Disparaging, Delusional, Disloyal, Delusive, Double-dealing, Defiling, Desecrating, and Dangerous)

People hate ignorance and hypocrisy and unfortunately that runs rampant in the USA.\n\n\n\nWe can not appeal to the conscience of the world when our own conscience is asleep.\nCarl von Ossietzky

Who doesn't like Americans?  I think this Administration has turned other countries against Americans as a whole.  They just don't like our country and what the Administration stands for.

You make a very good point. It is NOT American to hate America, however certain people think it's in vogue now. The PC, Bush is Hitler, 9/11 was inside job crowd. How can a person really believe these things and continue to live here? Why is it that everyone else on the planet can be proud of their "homeland" but us?

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..

I dont hate America.But the world`s richest , most powerful and freest secular democracy should be liked by all.America fails to command that  respect .The reasons are 1)America supports monarchies,Theocracies,Military dictatorships,human right violators,and almost gives nothing to poorer countries. 2)When poor but learned youth want to migrate there American "private employers" pay a pittance to them and exploits cheap labor.3)In America cheap labor include doctors,dentists,software professionals and biotechnologists. 4)America wages WAR  against communism but after ousting the communist regimes (governing the poorest of the poor) leaves the victims(people) high and dry. 5) American freedom has gone to extremes by legalising homo-trans-sexuality and and loose sex. 6)Majority of Americans are Christians,but none in America emulates Jesus in loving the lowest the least and the last. and7)America unrealistically spends zillions of money on "space" and "army"while America`s own blacks live in "mobile"houses.

That's good to hear, enough countries hate us already and to be honest, i dont ever think to myself " who doesnt like America" i instead think "who does like American". We are really hated thanks to our government when really Americans themselves (most) are very nice family people.

people around the world hate the united states because of its one-sided foreign policies. in iraq, bush and blair have already said that the war was a mistake. there was no weapons of mass destruction (which was the basis for the war) so it was a false declaration by bush and he lied and manipulated his allies to attack iraq. now why would civilized people listen to a ridiculus call to war? iraq is an oil rich country. i wont be surprised if the americans and british have started drilling oil in iraq. of course they wont tell you that. anyway the war was called 'OIL' for 'operation iraqi liberation'. first of all, the reason for war (weapons of mass destruction) is a false claim and the evil saddam has been captured so why in the world is the US still in iraq? that makes people angry. the scandal at abu ghraib prison makes people angry. the deaths of civilians makes people angry. the continual insurgency shows that iraqi people DO NOT want americans there. and therefore, the general frustration with a superpower that has infringed human rights and is acting like a superior bully over helpless civilians makes people angry.\nanother case, israel. many people can't stand the backing of the US towards atrocities caused by the israelies towards the palestinians. i am not arab and i do not relate to the palestinians but am i the only one to see the similarities of the jewish holocaust by hitler and the current palestinian holocaust by lets see...israel, the US and every other country that remains silent. that is why people hate the US. i am sure palestinians have caused atrocities as well but we all know that more palestinian civilians die for every israeli. and there is no justice. that is why people hate the US and its claim that israel has a 'right to defend herself' and so i say the palestinians have a right to defend themselves.\nanother issue is iran. people hate the US because it is unfair in its foreign dealings. the US deals with whoever they seem to like and not others. thats ok, but sabotaging the sovreinity  of other countries and making assumptions about them is wrong. well iran has said it hates israel n israel says it hates palestinians so its a cycle. u cant say that iran has no right to hate israel just as israel is allowed to despise and 'accidentally' slaughter palestinians. george bush's blindness to the truth is frankly frustrating. sometimes i think that if i ever got my hands on him, i'd spend a whole lifetime educating that guy. there is someone pulling his strings. the US might apparently be the most powerful nation in the world but someone else is pulling the strings of the puppet president bush.\nyou should read this book 'the protocols of the elders of zion' it will give an insight into a different world for you.\ni am not against the jewish people but against corrupt politicians who are doing things wrongly. that is why i hate bush. not the american people, not liberal jews, but the reigning one-sided political situation prevalent in this increasingly ignorant and uncivilized world.

Because the feel they can push everybody about, they have one rule for themselves and another for the rest of the world. Their troops ill treat people in the line of duty and nothing is done. The support military rulers whom they like and dislike any govt that stands -up up to them. They go into Iraq, the Administrator blows billions of dollars that up till today he can not account for.Yet, nobody is asking questions where all the money went to. A UK TV station did a documentary of the US involvement in the Iraq war, what we discover from the investigation, my US friends that watched it with was speechless. SO THESE ARE THE REASONS PEOPLE HATE USA. The government is not fear to its own people and the outside world.
