Now that the world hates America

As an American how does that make you feel??... in the 90's every one loved USA...when Americans visited foreign countries they could be loud and very American....now that's changed Americans are seen walking down foreign street very quietly even Japanese tourist make more noise now...ah the good ol' days how I miss em...

I agree with earlier posts...they scapegoat America for their problems and catagorize all of America for policies they don't like, they blame us for not paying attention while they group America into a whole.

I honestly don't care. Other countries use America as a scapegoat to avoid talking about their own numerous problems.Rhazakna

^ intelligence has spoken. That is oh so true... I'm in agreement with you good sir

Do you mean the rest of the world hates America? America is part of the world you know. :P

I think you guys are exaggerating a little bit, there's no doubt in my mind that an American can visit any restaurant/square/park/beach in most countries in Europe without getting bad attitude by any of the people around you.Hungry_bunny

Probably. Vocal anti-Americanism is mostly online, it seems.

I was just referring to the US bashers. I probably should have phrasd it better.

But even if a loud American guy went around in Paris with a T-shirt saying "Bush Rules" I'd be surprised if anybody cared.

If you go to youtube, or other sites with a large userbase, there's tons of blatant xenophobia. Not criticisms of the government, just bigotry.

To be fair though I have seen just as much xenophobia from Americans, in particular towards the Middle East, Asia and Russia.

Its just a byproduct of the internet giving people anonynimity to say what they want without repurcusions.

lol

how can they hate me? what did i do to hurt anyone? hate should be directed at the so called leaders that starts all this nonsense. if anyone comes to me with some bull crap i'm laying em flat....

I'm on the net a lot, and I've noticed way more anti-US sentiment. Most internet trolls from the US are racist, not xenophobic.

Yes, you are right. It has nothing to do with the horrible expansionism america has, or the troops US sends to create a dictator and THEN bring democracy. It has nothing to do with US blaming other countries for drug trafficking when US is the N1 consumer of drugs in the world. It has nothing to do with US attacking anyone who wants to achieve nuclear power... I could go on and on, but you know, you are all right....

If you didn't care, then why would these people "with inflated egos" bother you? Sounds like you have some insecurity about something if their comments bother you.

I like the way you think.

I don't hate America. I only hate george w bush, and the rude people and the people who disrespect Canada, but theres people like that all over the world.
I don't really think America is hated by everyone, only the stupid terroists from those 3rd world countries.

That isn't anti-Americanism, that's anti-Bush. Bush isn't America.

I don't know, I haven't been outside of America, so I wouldn't know what everyone thinks of us.

Last I checked, most people were pretty concerned with living their day-to-day lives to really care about the going-ons in other countries.

But that's just me

I don't consider being anti-Bush or anti-government to be anti-American. Is hating the Islamic theocracies in the middle east anti-Islamic? Is hating the oil Czar dictators in Saudi Arabia anti-Saudi Arabian?

Most of the objection to the United States is firmly rooted in objection to the government. If that's the case, I don't really see much prevalance of anti-Americanism (as you define it) at all. People aren't xenophobic just for the sake of xenophobia.
bman784

Oh, sure they are. Go to any populated website, and you'll hear endless rants about us burger inhaling Americans who shoot guns all day and are too obese to walk under our own power. The anonimity of the internet breeds bigotry.
