its funny reading about yanks wondering why people dont seem to like them. most yanks are good people with ego's well in check and an open mind........ but there is a very vocal minority who spew claptrap about the usa being the greatest place on earth and being the source of all the greatest and best designs and ideas et al. they are the ones that are generally disliked and ridiculed (it is unfortunate that one of those is actually president). btb americans are residents of the north and south american continent ala europeans, africans, asians.... eff |

i see all this hate for americans on forums i get on for the various hobbies i have. to put it simply, many americans simply think, or forget that there is the rest of the world out there. they associate everything with their country and their people, and forget totally about the rest of us out there around the globe. i find this selfish disregard for others all over the net. you even get links to site to buy things, they say they post international but their check out pages have listing of all us states, and no other parts of the globe. to get something international requires you to jump through hoops. apart from the other tings that have been mentioned here about the seemingly world domination that the us government wants to ensure on the world, how can you, as americans not see this, and the way the rest of the world looks at you. interesting thing i read the other day, when george w bush recently met the new president of france, he asked him what he coudl do for him and france. his response was ' improve the way the world see's the united states ' because as an allie of the us, france is concerned about being in this position, when the rest of the world see's the us as a bunch of tyrants trying to impose their ways on the world. and i agree 100%, the us shoudl work on the way it presents itself to the world, because at the moment, with the idiot you have at the helm, thing are not good. |

well... i actually have never seen as much hatred against america as there is now before bush was in power. if thanks to you people a dumbass ignorant like bush is able to get elected twice in the position of one of the most powerfull man on earth then... well, then you gotta deal with the consequences!! honestly, what should ppl expect from a country which is represented by a guy who starts one war after the other but doenst even know the difference between austria and australia or opac and apac (just to name the latest two "laughs" he produced, the list may be countinued almost endlessly). the other thing is that most americans just know absolutley nothing about the rest of the world. i mean... during my exchange year in america - after telling the people that i come from italy - one of the most popular girls at high school asked me if i understand the value of money and if it is strange for me to wear clothes!!! there is just a generell ignorance and dumbness i have never seen before. and the sad thing is that the intelligent people are actually the outsiders.... another quite shocking story: i talked with my hostfamily about bush and his politics... if they agree with him and so on. well, my hostmum said they dont actually personaly agree with him, but god put him in power and therefore everything he's doing is absolutley the right thing. okay, surely not all americans are stupid like this... but surely a big part of the bush-administration is, and they are your (elected) representatives in the world. so stop whining and deal with it! |

to be more specific tim berners-lee invented the 'world wide web' which made the internet so popular. without this invention you wouldn't be flaming each other! get your head out of your ass!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/tim_berners-lee  as time magazine put it in its list of the 20th century's 100 most important people: "he designed it. he loosed it on the world. and he more than anyone else has fought to keep it open, non-proprietary and free." |

btw if anyone is paying any attention. there are huge billion dollar trades that can only make money (and will otherwise be huge losers) if the us (and some in euro econ.) takes huge hits. tha last time such huge bets for a sudden drop occurred it was those making money off 911 foreknowledge. incidentally there is a 'video' where osama says he will nuke us cities, however video is in quotes since most of it the video freezes, the only parts with animation (only a tiny portion) has nothing that couldn't have been recorded before the iraq war. (tech to fake voices was demoed years ago by us intelligence) america is desperate for a reason to attack iran, that is not debated by anyone. but can't do so as there simply isn't the military might to fight there and iraq (already illegally putting national guard in iraq) so nukes are the only option but clearly there is a problem, you can't just attack with nukes as first strike dang it. and of course there was a b52 which had 6 (and sometimes 5, just a small issue i'm sure) live nukes be accidentally mounted and flown across the country to land at an airfield unrelated to anything to do with decommissioning. and if you don't know nuclear warheads don't just mistakenly get put on planes, that took orders and lots of people had to know including those that gave access, mounted them and the pilot. since a majority of people believe that the bush administration either pulled off 911 or had a damn sight more to do with it than saddam then i guess only one conclusion can be come to. that right now the bush administration doesn't have plausible deniability even to a nuke attack! meanwhile i wonder what % of even republicans think their president is smarter than a 5th grader? experience the reality (no tv) version of jericho now! all with a president which any honest idiot will tell you lost both but especially the first election. c'mon, we don't hate you but we can't respect you. |

i think it's natural though, did you respect iraqi's under saddam? what about germans under hitler? (except the few that really did try) there are plenty of other examples but it doesn't lead to respect however you slice it, you might have felt sorry for some of them. if 5% of americas decided not to let this charade continue seriously enough they could stop it. |

the problem probably stems from the fact that us citizens are not required to vote. in australia, we are required by law to vote. every citizen over the age of 18 must vote, otherwise incur fines. however the us government won't put that into practice, because they know that it would hamper their efforts in getting re-elected. |

if every last person in the us wanted bush gone as is almost becoming the case it wouldn't stop bush. but if one person was serious enough they could do it, the most direct and obvious being assassination. but if 5% peacefully marched on washington they could kick bush out as they did in some country a few years back, sorros helped out. or if they just parked their cars in the middle of the street to stop traffic. or if they just all honked their horns at a set time every (week?) day for x long and otherwise made tons of noise. clearly 5% could kick bush out, but there isn't 5% willing to do this, indeed there doesn't seem to be 1%. and that's sad since way more than that think/know he did 911. |
