I am American..

I didn't realize how much people from different countries absolutely hate and resent the country that I absolutely love until I came across a post in this student website.

I know I am going to get bashed for this post, but I am already aware of that and am fine with that fact since I just want to understand other countries views.

I am American and I do know that our country isn't the best, but I am still proud to be born and raised here. For all of those who dislike me just because I am one, all I have to say is that you should really travel to see our country, to meet people here our different communities and backgrounds, and just to get to know more us instead of bashing us head on. I apologize for my rambling on, but if you were in my position what would you think? say? or even do?

I want to know what you dislike about my country and why? Please don't be too harsh, I am not trying to insult or piss off anyone. I am merely asking the question to understand peoples views and hear different opinions.

While the actual war may have gotten a little screwed up, you are a dumbass if you can't remember why it was started. If some terrorist group flew planes into buildings in your country, would you expect your own government to not do anything about it? Bush was put in a tricky spot and no matter which way he decided to move, he would have been critisized. He played the best game he could with the hand he was dealt.

8) No one voted for Palin.

9) Only the illegal immigrants. If you come to our country legaly, our government has no qualms. Most Americans are very proud to come from other parts of the world, those differences are reveered not condemned. Most can tell you exactly where their heritage lies and what percentage, as they are so proud of it (I am 50% Irish and 50% Prussian. I say Prussian because those ancestors came to America before Germany became a country)

the closer we move towards socialism, the closer we move towards communism.

You're entitled to like your country. I'm entitled not to. Here's why (a few choice reasons, there are many more)

1.) You are home to more extreme religious fanatics / right-wing nutjobs per capita than any other country since Nazi Germany (with the possible exception of Iran).
2.) For the past 100 years you have flouted the sovereignty of countless other nations to further your own aims, values and religion.
3.) Recently, you set off a war which has cost hundreds of thousands of lives, and we still don't know why you did it.
4.) You re-elected Bush
5.) The Americans we get to see abroad tend to be loud, arrogant and somewhat brutish.
6.) You're sore losers.
7.) Some of you actually listen to Glenn Beck.
8.) Others amongst you considered voting for the bimbo-cum-lunatic that is Sarah Palin.



Says the person who voted for Nick Clegg.


9.) You are a country built on immigration, and yet you are now doing your best to persecute immigrants.
oh and
10.) Despite the guaranteed right to freedom of speech, the liberty which is mentioned so often as sacred in your consitution, and so many other big statements, when a normal, everyday man tries to expose your inner dealings to the public, your leaders accuse him of terrorism and start an international manhunt for him.
11.) Socialism is practically a swearword in your country.

Of course no one is perfect, so here's a few reasons I do like your country.

1.) You are home to some of the most intelligent, witty and kind people in the world.
2.) You are home to the worlds finest universities.
3.) You elected Obama
4.) Family Guy
5.) Great TV in general actually
6.) American football (not quite as good as rugby but still awesome)
7.) You have an astounding amount of places that have amazing natural beauty.
8.) NYC

This graph sums up the disparity between Brits and Americans and why we consider americans stupid.

I hate Americans they are so cocky yet the British owned more land and had a more powerful empire then they ever will.

No you're not. You're a nation of intolerance, with an illegal war under your belt that you are still fighting so many of your laws are terrible and bordering on lunacy.

The world would be in a much worse state if America didn't exist, same if the Islamic empires and whatnot or even the British empire didn't exist.



This says otherwise.



Who owns who now?

A lot of British abuse actually comes from America...

lol such a bad question. We owned you but you never owned us. We punch above our weight, while your contribution to the wprld, expecially in your poor campaign in Iraq as John bolton himself admite, is mismattched with your resources.

Isn't it amazing how English, the language of one of the smallest countires in the world, is spoken by the most powerful country today?
