Why People Hate the USA
December 20, 2009 7,854 CommentsWhen I posted this political commentary puppy on YouTube, people went bananas over it. I got a ton of flack from folks calling me un-American (whatever that means…the phrase ITSELF is un-American because American is supposed to stand for freedom of the individuality), countercultural riotess, social outcast, and more. To me, that was pretty funny. And showed me how a lot of people don’t have high levels of reading comprehension. Or watching comprehension, even. Because the point of this video is to explore why OTHER people dislike my country. It clearly does not say, “Why The Resident Hates the USA”. I happen to love my country. It has a lot of social and cultural faults, like the way it bullies other countries around and tends to be fat and content with all the spoils we’ve acquired over the years. Or how we have a super douchebag for a President (hopefully not for much longer!). But still, I love this country. Our constitution is pretty unbelievably written and idealistic, right up my alley. The rights that US citizens are given just by being born here are awesome! And even as we head into what looks like a pretty steep depression, we still have a lot of food, shelter, and clothing. We have a lot of really neat land to travel and explore without leaving our own borders. We create a lot of great music and art. And by and large, we’re pretty decent (if naïve at times) people. So, I love my country. But yes, it has its faults, and I think that’s what people in other countries tend to focus on, because our faults tend to inflict damage on other countries. So, I wanted to hear about why other people hate our country. Because the only way to fix something is to admit there’s a problem in the first place, right? That’s why I made this sort of political commentary video. Whatcha think?
[..YouTube..] Overall america is shit.
[..YouTube..] @plaiterentire How on earth can you assert that the English language is American? That may be the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.
[..YouTube..] do you really think you have freedom? NAY you have lost all your freedoms to you lust, greed, desires and oppressing other nations……… take a survey for “DUMMEST PEOPLE ON EARTH in THESE TIMES” you will get the ANSWER people of AMERICA. ” HOW CAN YOU GUYS BELIEVE people who dont even know what they speaking” example BUSH, PAILIN, rest you guys educate yourself GOOD LUCK TO THE FUTURE OF USA
[..YouTube..] You should get out around the world and see the misery the USA has caused. America redeemed itself when it burnt the Bush and installed the Barak. Up until then, it was such a dumb fuck country.
[..YouTube..] @plaiterentire actually:planes: britain and francelanguage: englandcomputers: their history is much more complicated than that, the basic ideas come from all over the world.doughnuts: again, it’s a food known almost worldwide and not because of america. it was originally brought to america by dutch settlers…I also have american friends, but that doesn’t stop me from making an objective observation: on the whole, americans don’t know much about the world…
[..YouTube..] @gal5131 I’m sorry if u felt I insulted your country, that was not my intention. My intention was to comment on ‘Why people hate the USA’ I thought I would add my opinion on the matter, and I stand by it. That is how many people I’ve spoken to on the matter feel. Im not saying that Americans are ignorant. I’m saying they (in general) are ignorant of other cultures and of world politics. I’m sorry if this offends you and your country but it’s the way alot of people around the world feel.
[..YouTube..] fuck you bitches! my friend is american i love americans they are smart!internet = Americathe wonderful language you are speakin now = AmericaComputer = americadonuts = americaplanes = americaAMERICA ARE THE WORDLS FUTURE, GOD BLESS YOU USA!!
[..YouTube..] @gal5131 omg cool down the roid rage please!
[..YouTube..] @rewberg – I need to chill? After you insulted everyone in my country; calling all of them “friendly; but ignorant”; all I said was that I was tired and was signing off. I wasn’t in the mood to argue with you. I didn’t argue with you. And you say I am the one that needs to chill?Maybe you are the one who needs to chill down your ridiculous insults. I didn’t insult your country, afterall. You came here and insulted mine; and by doing that, me. Fight with someone else, please.
[..YouTube..] @Coverfire14 – You are right. Neither party is doing much of anything good for the country. They are too busy playing political games to get anything done. Thanks. : )
[..YouTube..] Thanks for conducting a real interview.
[..YouTube..] @gal5131 u need to chill out a bit. I wasnt even attacking Americans, I personally like Americans but one of the faults in their system is that they don’t (and i kno Im generalising) kno much about anywhere else in the world. Most Americans don’t know who the Prime Minister of Britain is or the Chancellor of Germany ad its not the general populations fault, its the media and government. Anyway, I didn’t mean to offend I just hoped that I could cause someone to see something in a different light
[..YouTube..] @MsTheresaKelly1 By the way, I’m not the one claiming it, I’m just stating what has already been stated by many, including your tea party.
[..YouTube..] @gal5131 But both parties are to blame in the downfall of this country, we disagree on who is more to blame but I think the point is that currently neither party is doing much to help.
[..YouTube..] @gal5131 But for the most part, we’re actually in agreement. And maybe my last statement was a tad extreme. Believe me, I try to be independent. I don’t think any major news source can be believed because they’re all full of shit, Fox included. And maybe you’re right, they’re probably the worst and Glenn Beck is obviously crazy. In those areas, we are in agreement.And you’re definitely smart. That’s obvious and my earlier judgement of you was wrong.
[..YouTube..] @MsTheresaKelly1 Jesus Christ, you don’t get it.Silver is rarer than gold, but the products gold is used for are generally more expensive, so gold still trades for more.gal5131, you’re right that she’s a loon, but you’re also wrong if you think the left has all the answers. You don’t seem to understand that the left is, at the moment, pushing our country further into the ground than the right ever dreamed of.
[..YouTube..] @pucksterz12 Technology?? Cars, German (Mr Benz with a daughter Mercedes), Jets? British, Frank Whittle. Rockets, German, Computer? British. The web was also the brain child of a Brit. Not slating Americans, you don’t invent you make money on others inventions. Who is the clever one? The inventor or the ones who makes the money?? Could argue for both. Haha
[..YouTube..] @krltoro can you show me a map were it has a continent call america? im having a hard time finding it. everytime i type in america on google i get maps of the US. its not a american thing to call the US america, its a world thing. get over it.
[..YouTube..] Yeah, we’re so uneducated and naive. We are the superpower and have accomplished more and have more in the way of technology and natural recources and more countries depend on us for our military and our exported goods than any other county…. BUT our health care system sucks.
[..YouTube..] @pigmeat40 She cares , she is just tired of all the pointless bickering with people who are self absorbed and closed minded…Yeah, the world hates American only until they need our help…
[..YouTube..] After the USSR Afghan war Unocal wanted to build the Trans Afghanistan Pipeline.The Talibans biggest benefactor was US. The Taliban reneged on the pipeline deal then the US invaded.Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai worked for Unocal.Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai and Turkmenistan say they remain committed to building a long-delayed pipeline to pump natural gas south to Pakistan and India, in spite of the ongoing Taliban insurgency.Bloomberg 1/Sep 2010
[..YouTube..] In the late 1980s, Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, concerned about the growing strength of the Islamist movement, told President George H. W. Bush, “You are creating a Frankenstein.” U.S. support for the native Afghan mujahideen (Operation Cyclone) contributed to the radical Islamization of Afghanistan as well as the weakening and near-disintegration of the Afghan state, which ultimately led to the Taliban takeover of most of the country in 1996.
[..YouTube..] On July 3, 1979, Carter signed a presidential finding authorising funding for rebels in Afghanistan as a part of the Central Intelligence Agency program called Operation Cyclone, which would include the massive arming of Afghan mujahideen to destabilise the Afghan Government.That was 6 months before Soviet deployment in Afghanistan on December 27, 1979
[..YouTube..] I laughed when I saw Americans on the news not too long ago. They are so different from Norwegians.
[..YouTube..] AMERICA isn’t a COUNTRY it is a CONTINENT and the people of the continent are AMERICANS you are just people who live in USA… people in others countries don’t hate the whole continet just to u…
[..YouTube..] @gal5131 And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is why the world hates America. Of course you don’t care. If it doesn’t happen to you, you don’t care.Self absorbed ignorance…. The backbone of America.
[..YouTube..] However, u got to appreciate American people’s open-ness and their willingness to share knowhow seamlessly. Compared to that Asians are very secretive. U can’t even get a street fighter 2 cheat code off an Asian w/o waging a Jihad lmao. However, an American would impart their 20 years know how to an Indian guy and would take pleasure in doing so. There is a huge chasm between AMERICANS as a people and AMERICA as a country and a govt.
[..YouTube..] One real reason why US get bashed is the fact that they keep endorsing puppet governments in third world countries. When u get a nationalist leader who wants to make the local’s lifes better, the country is sanctioned on human rights violation by US and all sorts of orange revolutions are funded against that leader….I explicitly remember growing up in Indra Gandhi’s India, and how the US was supporting and blatantly prepping blatantly brown KKK political parties like BJP.AMERICANS are cool
[..YouTube..] @lesdoyle2000Americans like myself do care. My time is devoted to activism. When I’m not at a Tea Party signing petitions I’m on the YouTube boards educating others. Americans are waking up.
[..YouTube..] Excuse the typo
[..YouTube..] @coverfire14This is widom: listening to you would be like an adult taking driving lessons from a 12 year old! It’s typical at your age to think you know it all. At 17 darling you Sony know swat!
[..YouTube..] @lesdoyle2000 – Whatever.
[..YouTube..] @gal5131 I guess it because Americans don’t give a shit that the Government there is able to get away with the lies and torture programs.
[..YouTube..] @beepoIIen1I’ll post my address, shithead: 32 Greyhound Road, Brent, England NW10 5I though you were going to post your number dumbfuck.
[..YouTube..] @lesdoyle2000 – I have nothing to do with the bombings in Afghanistan. Nothing. Why are you commenting to me about it? I have no control over what is happening over there. And, as far as the Afghan people go, I don’t really care. I don’t care. Got it? You can comment to me all day long. I am not going to care what happens to them. I don’t feel sorry for them. I don’t care. You are laying your guilt trip on someone who doesn’t give a shit.
[..YouTube..] Todays news.10 civilians killed by US bombing in the formally peaceful north of Afghanistan.
[..YouTube..] @rewberg – Well, how would you answer the question: Why do people hate Australia?Some people genuinely like this country. I don’t happen to be one of them. But what do you expect people to say? Not everyone has to agree with you. Are you so narrow-minded that you can’t understand that? Talk about being myopic; the rest of the world is just the same. Who criticizes their own country? Do you? You probably think Australia is wonderful. Some Americans like America. What the hell?
[..YouTube..] I luv how, wen asking the question ‘why do people hate America’ u ask Americans. That is Americas problem. Most people in America hav no idea wat is hapening in the rest of the world. I’ve been to America and I found that the people there are friendly and kind but they’ve been brought up with the idea that America is great n that America is the greatest country on earth. Well, I have to say that there are many countrys that have freedom of speach etc etc. other countrys have that too
[..YouTube..] tudelft(dot)nl/live/pagina.jsp?id=7a6c3d15-1c1e-4869-b378-840a000c6803&lang=nl You American can keep driving your big cars. The ice is melting not that fast our TU university recently found out. Change the (dot) into . and put on your translation Dutch – English.
[..YouTube..] Most Americans, not all, have forgotten who made America. America was made by Europeans. So if people would dislike Americans, they would dislike Europeans, cause the Europeans colonized the continent and made what is is now. America has become a sort of `Sodom and Gomorra` cause of it, somehow. Like some people say`; `It only happens in America` Well it happens cause generations ago they LET is happen. This 2010 generation could change the view about the US, for America sake hope they do.
[..YouTube..] @beepoIIen1What people are saying here about you is right.Plus your too pussy to post your number.Just a dumbfuck troll.LMFAO
[..YouTube..] In the Midwest??? How is the Midwest stupid and isolated? Obama is from the Midwest, but second thought he is stupid. LOL. Everyone is jealous of America.
[..YouTube..] @FFFFbody My dear friend, I think that nobody asked USA for liberation. In 1999. NATO tried to liberate Serbia from Serbs!?! Why do U think that your country is something special? Do U know how far is Midlle east from USA, and tell me, please, what a fuck your solders doing there? I think that U are not able to understand that problem… Serbian history is more than 1000 years long, your is 200. FUCK USA TERRORISTS!!!
[..YouTube..] @MsTheresaKelly1 And seriously, either look up the deal with silver and come back here and post about how it IS rarer than gold, or you’re obviously trolling. Simple as that.
[..YouTube..] @MsTheresaKelly1 If I’m so devoid of wisdom then why am I better prepared than you anyway? Assuming I don’t die early on in an apocalyptic situation, I could survive, no problem.
[..YouTube..] @MsTheresaKelly1 Yeah, I’m done with you.You’re either trolling or stupid beyond any hope, I’ve got more wisdom in one tooth (wisdom tooth…no pun intended?) than you have in your whole body, that’s obvious.Listen, Google the deal about silver if you’re honestly not trolling. I’m done trying to reason with you, because if you’re not trolling, you’re even more stubborn than a redneck. And I would know, I know some.
[..YouTube..] @Coverfire14, Your age explaines it all! Young people are full of energy and words but have no wisdom. Older folks are full of wisdom and discernment but have little to no energy.:0)
[..YouTube..] @Coverfire14 Wait, no, you actually spelled it Wickpedia. My bad.
[..YouTube..] @MsTheresaKelly1 Wickipedia? Yep, you’re trolling.
[..YouTube..] @MsTheresaKelly1 By the way, I’m not misconstruing, I’m summarizing, because I can’t fit all of your insanity into less than ten comments.
