I am really insulted by the fact america as a term is appropriated by the us and the world to describe a country (the US). And i know most of you people are not illiterate, so i can only assume you all bend to this stupid imperialism of meanings and twist on history. Yes you people pissed me off, sorry to say.

eitherway, now that oil has peaked, poor people will die of hunger, and the wealthy will then have all the space and the time to explore alternative energy solutions.

Thank your god there's a vibrant US independent underground that at least recognizes issues like that.

they owe about 1.14 for every 1 $ they circulate so spare me the crap.

No matter what the U.S. government (along with many other governments) tries to do to better its reputation, it could only be a charade at the very most anyway. The reason for this is because if the truth was revealed to the entire population of what they're covering up through mass condiditioning via media and TV series and doctored reports etc., then they would become bankrupt overnight through mass claims for compensation from all those people whose physical and mental health they're damaging alone. You can also ask yourselves why they often put black actors in positions of power in many of their crap films and series, the answer being that they know that the blacks in the U.S. are a force to be reckoned with, and so in order to "appease" them, they show how they are "equal" with the whites by putting them in such positions (at least on the screen). It's ALL conditioning! They use it constantly on the entire population. And if you doubt it then why do you think so much money is put into (and of course MADE!) through advertising..? Show people the crap and they BUY it (in more ways than one!). The entire political arena is one big CHARADE!. (If you're the slightest interested in how your physical and mental health IS slowly but surely being constantly damaged then try reading the address on my "profile". You won't believe it, but that's fine with me.)

The USA is not the most hated country in the world. In fact, it is still among the most admired countries in the world.

You have got to be kidding.

here are a few of the many many poll results that refute your claim:

In 2008, a poll was conducted for BBC World Service and GlobeScan in 26 countries around the world. The question asked was: "Is the United States having a positive or negative influence in the world?"
On average across the 26 countries polled, 51 percent say the US is having a mostly negative influence in the world, while only 30 percent say the US is having a mostly positive influence.


And not surprisingly, In a European Union poll, Israel is viewed as the world's most dangerous nation, but of course Israel rejects the poll and considers Europeans to be anti-jewish:

Almost 60% of the Europeans believe that Israel is more dangerous than North Korea, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan.
Israelis reacted angrily to a European Union poll in which most respondants believe that Israel poses the greatest threat to world peace....Diaspora Affairs Minister Natan Sharansky accused Europeans of being antisemitic.

It is true that some policies of the USA, because of its sheer size and influence, are not terribly favored by the rest of the world but it is also true that most of those people, who view the USA negatively, will be forced to change their opinions after they come to USA because majority of the people here are very decent and rational:)

willuman: What do you adults think? Too much? I don't want to think about these things.
I'm going to lock myself in my room.
I certainly don't want to talk about it.
Let the insults begin. "Can't we all just get along?"
Just let the govt. handle everything.
Sometimes the truth is better left unsaid, Einstein!
Who do you have harassing you, pal?
Haven't you ever heard of, "Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil?
I was real rich & happy until you brought this up.
Hey buddy, where else can you go and get harassed in your own home by a bunch of criminals and hoods in the streets using harassment and abusive technology in their cars, trucks and from their homes & apartments above, behind and all around you?
Yea, but they also "help" more people than any other nation!
HaHaHaHa!!!! I like Love harassing guys like you.
Peace out, bro and try to enjoy life. There's nothing you or I can do about the big picture!! Lets just try to enjoy what little freedom we have left.
Haven't you ever heard of the make-believe world, your imagination, and memories?
Why don't you just try to find happyness in your work when they're not harassing you there like I do, buddy.
Now!, now!, don't worry, it'll be alright! "BIG BABY!" hahaha...!



You meant USA ??? because America is the continent....confused dunno
ttom500 St. Cloud, Florida USA
I don't think the US should try to change its image.....if we did .......President Obama campaign promise of change would resonate in the world....and consider the problems the world would have then.

Enough of the yokes.

But thought seriously of this earlier today.

If President Obama stays neutral on the issues of Iran election, seems to me that he is supporting the 'status quo'. Pretty hard to pull that 'change' thing a mig gee out of the teleprompter, if one is standing for status quo.



lerald Cleveland, Ohio USA
The U.S. is a melting pot of people from every country on this planet. To hate the U.S. is to hate everyone on the planet. I myself am a mixture of at least 6 different nationalities; all from Europe. Americans know how to get along with anyone and everyone. To lump all 300 million plus Americans into one group and hate us just because you don't like the fact that our govt plays world police is asinine. Perhaps the E.U. should step up and try and generate stability in regions of the world they'd rather not be associated with.



NeWildflower Scottsbluff, Nebraska USA
If it makes some folks feel better to think that the US is the most hated country in the world, I say "whatever gets you through the night." That's YOUR hang up, and if you need it then have at it!

If you aren't an American, then WHY do you CARE? Ohhhh I get it, it makes everyone else feel big and bad to think that the US is hated. Sounds like a case of the green monster to me dunno



The short answer to the question asked, "Is america the most hated country? ..." is No. I don't subscribe to the paranoia that Americans are hated, but I do subscribe to the fact that the last 8 years of rule by a cowardly Village Idiot has brought the US into disrepute and grave mistrust because of his administrations Policies and Illegal actions on the world stage. The British obviously are delighted to take the 'back' seat and let the US take the blame - afterall what the US is doing today, the British have been doing for centuries. With the exception of Malta, virtually every country they invaded, ruled and then either left or got kicked out of, ended up with a civil war. They had the same 'policies' as the US has today - 'our way or the highway'. I think it's long past its time, for the US to wake up and smell the coffee. The policies of the last 8 years in particular, will no longer be tolerated.

As for the chant that the US hands out $$ is nothing short of a joke. It's easy to hand out money, when it's not yours to hand out. For every $ handed out 45% is owned by the Chinese, the bulk of the remaining 55% is owned by other countries from whom you have borrowed.

The problem with your analysis is that america bashing has been going on for centuries, not just in the last 8 years. As for handing out money, wherever it comes from it has to be paid back and there was no mention of the billions given in charitable funds by PRIVATE entities. Yes, we have inherited the British position, which has both good and bad facets. We learned after the second world war that to allow the world system to coalesce around it's own points of power can lead to disaster-much better to try to shape it than let it run riot. We see the European idea of super-states and international "law" as untolerable as well, for many good reasons.

The Constitution is abused by both party's, that's true, but Bush was no worse than most in that respect.

Europe has media appointed by the state, of all things. Yes, Israel has it's faults and some are bad ones, but compared to whom their fighting against, thay are minor. If the Euro media focused some of their outrage on other's, I wonder if those opinions would begin to moderate.

laugh I can tell you read that underground press for the 'truth', as most of it is nonsense. The same people you cite are big believers in giving aid to those same poor people, which has been proven time and again to go only to the elites of said countries, and not to their people's benefit. When conservatives question this, they are called cruel and greedy! Yes, we call ourselves Americans's-not united statesians, which is a silly mouthful-oh well.
BebeII Concordville, Pennsylvania USA
RayfromUSA: Certainly not as hateful as silently ignoring when your country conducts massacres against poor 3rd world countries just to get their oil.

Sometimes confronting the ugly truth is the most loving thing one can do.

Look at Jesus, you couldn't call him "hateful". But he aroused the ire of the "good" religious folk everywhere he went, because he exposed their hypocrisy.
Do we now 'have' their oil? I didn't realize that since we're still paying for it!laugh Seems to me we could have just kept buying it from Hussein like the French and Germans and stayed home.
Jenea Norcross, Georgia USA
I think one of the reasons people don't like the United States is because of our arrogance. You always hear people saying America is the greatest country. However, it's not! Our healthcare system sucks especially compared to other countries and our education system is something of a joke. Also, people in the United States tend to be very ethnocentric and people think everything in the country has to be based in religion.
Englishman55 Cortona, Tuscany Italy
There is good and bad in every society, but I think you have just made the most valid point..... It's a perception of Arrogance.

The world has much to thank America for, but we can't go on listening to the Americanism, that "if you have a problem throw a load of money at it"
It's more than money.... lives are being lost all the time, because of this "money" attitude... STOP throwing lives at the problem and start to learn some humility.

The vast majority of Americans I have met have been wonderful people, who I greatly respect and admire, but I have met them outside of the country.
These are Americans who are cosmopolitan in their outlook, who want to explore the rest of the world and all it's cultures and who are humble enough to except the rest of the world for what it is..... Beautiful !

I feel saddened by the worlds perception of such a great nation, but it came from somewhere !

I don't like arrogance in anyone, regardless of their Nationality, but the perception is America has more than it's fair share of this appallling human trait.

Don't be so hard on yourself America, just learn some Humility
