Why Hate America??

[BHCWarman88]

you know, I hate going on RTW or watching the News and seeing People Dissing RTW and Protestng about us.

We are a Really Generous Nation, but Less Respected..We Gave Billions of bucks and forgive other of debts doing WW2.now,those counties aren't even paying the intersit to our debts.when France was going down in 1956,we came in and help, then the French BS about us.when Earrthquakres and Tsunamis Hit Countries,we Help. When it Happens to Us Americans, NO ONE HELPS. you know why,they selfish.period. we help,but no help in return.we Stuck Billions of bucks in depressed nations,and now they writing in News paper of How we are War Mongers..

I like to See Contirues HELP Us and Respect us. look at Tri Sanka, Famils got wipe out, kids lost their Partents. ok,we help them. but look at NEw Orelans, Kids aslo Lost their Partents, but No One Helps us. you can BS all you what "that what you get for living in a hole" that bascilly what Orelans is,a Hole. but Come on, Tri Sanka Was a Island, and it was always Dirt Poor, so don't compalin.

what you guys think??

[Reenk Roink]

We got a lot of foreign aid for Katrina....

[LeftEyeNine]

Which galaxy is that you are daydreaming, BHCWarman88 ? Maybe you can help me get there as a generous American and so that I can start thinking "Oh why do they hate us?"

[Zalmoxis]

First off, your grammar needs work, try the Spell Check button two buttons right of the Post button. Second, to reply directly to you, I am not one who hates America, but when you say "we Stuck Billions of bucks in depressed nations,and now they writing in News paper of How we are War Mongers.." do you mean Iraq?... because last I checked you stuck billions in your military budget to take over that country. Second, America has often times used the excuse of "But we gave them X million dollars" to avoid helping countries in the present. Other countries expect the strongest country economically to be able to help itself, seeing as how it has millions of others in other cities spread across the nation that could instantly jump to the help of New Orleans, while those who live in small impoverished countries have small populations who all need help. That's why you can let a large country like America deal with its own problems.

There jelaous as Americans we are handsome sexy smart level headed and frankly other nation cant handle that combanation of American supremacy. It really gets to people but Ive learned to live with it.

Keep telling yourself that.

How about this, Britain is counting down to the time when we will finally be able to say we owe America nothing, because we've paid it all back.

As to New Orleans, well you should have been able to handle it yourselves and you got aid anyway so stop complaining.

[Ice]

Hey, your from Pittsburgh! I just moved from around that area, good city.

The question you asked is pretty loaded. Good luck finding a straight answer.

[LeftEyeNine]

SFTS said it all. This thread is fruitless from now on. My man the GMoAtT, Hoorrraaay !!!

WW2 tech-sharing, meant to be reciprocal but in practice entirely one-way. Technology thus "shared" deemed to be worth several times what Britain received in Marshall aid, lend lease and other loans combined. British statesmen and diplomats of the time, from Keynes to Churchill, weren't impressed. In similar incidents, Eden called the terms for the 50 destroyers "unfriendly negotiations", while Keynes walked out of the lend-lease talks, declaring he wasn't going to "sign over the British empire".

Britain is grateful to America for her help in WW2, but by heck we paid through the nose for it.

So true, and probably still paying.

Oh get over yourself. I have never seen a more arrogant, stuck-up, rude bunch of people than the average patriotic American. "WE SAVE THE WORLD! WE'RE THE WORLD POLICE!!". Well let me elabourate on why the world hates (or dislikes, however you'd like to take it) America.

#1 - America is greedy--
Yes, I will say that America has done a lot of good for the world in matters of financial support for countries who need it. But Americans also demand that this be paid back at a higher interest rate than most small, 3rd world countries can afford, so you're always on their back about it. Perhaps you shouldn't offer so much money. Then maybe the 3rd world would respect you.

#2 - Iraq
The Invasion of Iraq was purely an American offence against Saddam Hussein to protect their economical interests. Cheney and Bush have so much oil money in Iraq, and Saddam was threatening that. I can see how you'd want to protect your interests, but an invasion of a country where people were better off BEFORE the government of Saddam fell? Now, the people are in a massive, armed revolt. Allied soldiers are dying endlessly, and all because they want the old ways back. Perhaps you should have thought of THAT before you invaded Iraq.

#3 - The American people
I'm not saying all Americans are bad. But a great bunch of Americans like to think of themselves as an elitist group of the world. They think they're better than Europe. They're better than Asia. They own the world. American ignorance is causing people to turn their backs on the United States, and the elitist Americans will demand attention. Common rudeness also turns off people from acting friendly towards Americans in the fact that they think of themselves in a supremacist manner.

#4 - American patriotism
Another thing I think the world doesn't like is the fact that Americans push the boundaries of what they can do "For Patriotic Reasons". Americans force their opinions on the world, and try to force Americanism on so many people, on people with established cultures that are different than American culture. People don't like having things forced on them, so why should America have the right to force it's presence "for patriotic reasons"?

Please consider my above points. I hope not to offend any Americans in here, but this is probably the most well thought out post I've ever written in the backroom, and I'd like you all to think it over and perhaps input a better reply than SFTS did in the quote that I put above. I didn't mean to get stingy, but it got on my nerves.

Thank you all.

Cheers,
TheSilverKnight

Don't you think SFTS might have been joking, and was not expecting anyone to take him seriously?

All of you are bordering on being patronizing.

[TheSilverKnight]

Hasn't he said such things in seriousness before? I believe he would if he felt the need to prove himself superior to everyone...I don't mean to be offensive to any Americans by the way, I was just making a few points.

[Reenk Roink]

And to take another point here, you think Europe has "pathetic" little countries? Well excuse me if England is the mother country which gave you a language to speak. Europe has been longer established than America has on the world stage, so please don't think you're better than us, because your country isn't even half as old as many of the ones in Europe are. What I have just seen there is the most centre-minded post I have probably ever seen. Like I said to STFS, Get Over Yourselves, and grow up.

My my, how euro-centric...

For the record...

1) STFS always kids around and uses much sarcasm in his posts...

2) Do you know why Gelatinous Cube has the word "jingo" in his profile? Do you know what it means? Jingoism is ultra-nationalism... If you are going to use him and STFS as the examples of the "average American" you are terribly confused...

[Louis VI the Fat]

On SFTS-gate: give the kid a break. He's one of the funniest posters around, and I had a good laff' over this:

There jelaous as Americans we are handsome sexy smart level headed and frankly other nation cant handle that combanation of American supremacy. It really gets to people but Ive learned to live with it.

[Proletariat]

I can see pretty clearly why Ian was offended by GC's remarks. I have absolutely no clue how anyone could be silly enough to have their feelings hurt by SFTS's obvious joke.

[Don Corleone]

Well, I agree, but it's a shame Ian didn't stop and think about GC's usual posting. He's a lefty actually usually stands against jingoism and waving the flag mindlessly. I think what GC was trying to do was make a joke, but it clearly didn't go over well.

After reading this thread I have came to the realisation that Americans are very much like the French.

[Alexanderofmacedon]

Not offended or honored, just curious; Why is that?

[Ironside]

They do don't they.

Any ideas on what country that will start to play freedom fotball at some point during this century?

I agree with all your points, except for the first one. Why complain about his spelling and grammar? The post was perfectly comprehendable...

The second part is Touche'd...(the first one would be too, but I've seen some uglies around... )

I personally get fed up regularly with European ignorance. What gets me most is those European singers/actors/antiamerican american actors/politicos who blame the U.S.A. for things like the way Africa is. Quickly forgetting it was European colonialism that fubared that place, and protesting that the U.S.A. should pay the most to help them. To quote many of those Frenchy's who dont want anything to do with the Iraq problem "You broke it you fix it.". I also find it ironic whenever a European protests any U.S. deal that benefits us as Imperialism and Colonialism. Are they some how forgetting that alot of nations held colonies well past WWII . I think we need to send alot of those protestor's to a chinese re-education camp, ahhhhh slave made clothing is always the best..

Might I enquire as to the meaning of "Dissing"?

I agree with all your points, except for the first one. Why complain about his spelling and grammar? The post was perfectly comprehendable...

I had great difficulty in extrapolating the points of some of the post, and only was sure of it after several readings...

I personally get fed up when ignorant folks say European colonialism is to blame for the way Africa is. It has more to do with the speed at which independence was attained, due to pressure put on the European governments by the USA amongst others, and also to do with the fact the governments have become largely corrupt and distrustful affairs...

As for the "You broke it, you fix it", that seems perfectly true. Why should those countries who did not want to and did not depose the legitimate (if somewhat cruel) leader of a nation help in repairing that nation? It is the duty of those countries who removed the original government, "broke" it, to ensure the successive government is run fairly and that there is better civil order, "fix" it.

You should perhaps research better the European colonial empires...

[BigTex]

Europe pulled out to fast and you still find a way to blame the U.S.A. Instead of mention the constant civil rights abuses that went on down there and the medical experiments on humans (Oral polio vaccine anyone?) you just flatly blame the U.S. as bullying Europe out.
We should also forget how European colonialism helped spur on the development of radical Islam in the middle east. But hey its popular right now to blame the U.S.A. for everything, so sling it on.

you do have a point.. you said it better then I could..

"Hey, your from Pittsburgh! I just moved from around that area, good city.

yeah,where you use to live at??



anyhow,
blame USA for everything, it is popluar I guess. Europe never does anything wrong,now do they??....

[Scurvy]

I think one reason why america is "hated", i dont know any figures, but im pretty sure by "energy use" per head it is far higher than most other countries in world (and is seen as being reluctant to do anything about it)

[GiantMonkeyMan]

blame USA for everything, it is popluar I guess. Europe never does anything wrong,now do they??....

no we have never done anything wrong... ever

but seriously usa is worse at humanitarian rights... eg guantanimo bay (did i spell that right?)
but the reason usa annoys me is cos on all imported american tv british people are either portrayed as dirty cockney children or posh men wearing top-hats saying 'right-ho old chap' and that kind of total BS... and everyone who i know (or knew) from the us on msn messanger, after i say i am from plymouth in england, they say 'is that, like, near London?' but i suppose that's what you get for living in a hardly recognisable city... even if it was the site of where many of the first ships to set off from england to the new world

and how come there are always 'why does everyone hate america?' threads and no 'why does everyone hate wales?' threads... i mean i insult the welsh way more than the usa and the french come to that, in fact i insult lots of people... hmm... i am off to drink tea and insult some rather silly looking foreigners, right-ho old fellow *puts on monacle and leaves
