    What are you people talking about? We are jealous of America?
    Are you so completely detached from the world that you think Europe hates America?
    I know like 5 people who have been or are in America now and I'm one of the jealous ones who wants to go, too.
    Europe views America as the white knight in shining armour that saves the world from the evil of communism.
    It's only because America (see? that's also hubris because you don't really mean Canada but the USA) doesn't live up to it and too often it shows through that America only cares about itself while claiming that it cares about justice that Europeans are angry at America.
    If we truly hated America we wouldn't have all kinds of american brands, prefer american movies over our own ones etc. etc.
    There are some who may truly hate America but I'd say they're a minority, perhaps a loud one, or perhaps you just never notice that because you don't even know where Europe is.

    By the way, so many Americans give their location as "Vancouver, BC" or "Darlington, SC" which strongly appears to me that they either assume that USA is a given, as though everyone on the internet had to be from the USA anyway or else they don't count. If that's really how many Americans see the internet, it's no surprise that they are shocked and appalled when they nottice that there is a world outside America, where people give their location as "Hamburg, GER" for example, which also has access to the internet and doesn't worship America, willing to do everything it demands. Unwilling to see the internet as American-exclusive territory as well.
