It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it; consequently, the defenders of every kind of regime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using the word if it were tied down to any one meaning.

It's very simple: the world hates the U.S. because we're the Prom Queen. Everyone always hates the Prom Queen. Someday, some other country will become the Prom Queen, and will be hated as much as America is today.

Not really. Sure, the US is the popular girl right now, but just like all the previous popular girls, she's been a real bitch to a lot of the other girls.

She likes to tell herself they hate her because she's popular. But sometimes the Mean Girls actually get disliked because they are mean.

Agreed. She's always bitching on the uglier girls (Middle east no offence)
but once the principal (UN) comes up she just pretends to be friends with the girls she hates (Bitching them by supporthing their dictator, pretending to liberate them because the UN noticed)
And all she wants is thier damn makeup (Oil.)

We've been a little unkind to some of them, yes, but from our point of view, they had it coming. Of course, all the Prom Queens probably say that. There's nothing new under the sun.

Oh indeed. This is what the prom girls do. Roman Empire, British Empire, (Unannounced) American Empire - it's not just because y'all are pretty. :)

had it coming? That girl is a two face. She supports the zits (dictators) and then when other pretty girls and teachers (UN and other world powers.) notice she pretends to like them (By taking thier oil and killing the person that they supported) all because the zits bursted in her wonderbrerad sandwhich (9/11). I dno't see how the people of iraq, Iran and afganistan had it coming.

Half of the complaints in this thread involve holding a grudge over events that happened decades ago. Not only were many US-Americans not even born when these things transpired, another large portion were not eligible voters.

And thanks for the kind response.

The weird things about humans, you see, is that they don't work like that. People have reasons to dislike America. Some of them are current, and some of them go back a bit - but all are equally valid to some people.

Judging people for something other people did is not valid.

the thread is titles "why does the world hate the US" Not "post some reasons which would make over-patrioic americans angry because they are ashamed of what their nation did but not mature enough to admit it so they flame the people who post it"

If you can't deal with these legit reasons get off this thread.

But judging an entire nation, on the cumulative efforts?

That is rather the point of the thread, and a point that has been restated a number of times... it's not about why people hate ONE American, it's what people have historically collectively hated about the whole shebang.

"legit reasons".
There is never a "legit reason" to hate an entire country of people. Never.
