I'm curious to understand more about the hate. |

"For a long time it gave me nightmares, having to witness an injustice like that. It was a constant reminder of how unfair this world can be, I can still hear them taunting him. 'Silly Rabbit, Trix are for kids!'... How come they just couldn't give him some cereal?"

Fuckin Sarah Palin, everything she stands for and all who stand behind her. |

Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
Disliking an entire nation of people is the same as racism. There are many, many diverse groups of people within the U.S. Unfortunately, the overly patriotic yet uninformed ones often have the loudest voices, and this tends to piss of people from other countries. Basically the equivalent of some dude yelling about how great he is. No one likes that. |

Unfortunately this represents far too many Americans: |

What dislike I have centers around how the media is used to divide people, and promote content that may prove more destructive than beneficial. The latter is up to interpretation, but television programs like "My Sweet 16" and "Jersey Shore" aren't exactly what most of us would consider enriching (or even neutral) shows. I've seen more negative, spiteful comments come out of these than positive. Why create hostility... |

Well, the foreign stereotypes include arrogantly parochial, ignorant, xenophobic, nationalistic, zealous, backwardly religious, socially illiberal, aggressive, paranoid, materialistic, superficial, uncultured, unintelligent, and fat. I'll add more if any come to mind. |
|
We apparently don't give a shit about other countries. A lot of Americans (if asked) may be able to name all the Kardashians, but then when asked who the President of Mexico is, they'll most likely get stumped. Stuff like that. We're ignorant but still pretend to be superior. |

I dislike America's constant meddling and coercion in the internal affairs of foreign nations most of all. |

Hollywood pisses me off to the highest degree. Sure, it does come out with some good movies, but it is all so Americanized. Give the rest of the world a chance to make movies, Let every culture bring out some uniqueness. |

They say dreaming is dead, no one does it anymore.
It's not dead it's just that it's been forgotten, removed from our language.
Nobody teaches it so nobody knows it exists.
The dreamer is banished to obscurity.
Well, I'm trying to change all that, and I hope you are too.
By dreaming, every day.
I agree with all the post above, though I hate how people from other countries start to stereotype all Americans, people have to know that all people are different. |

I think people did a good job to sum up what I think. I have American friends and I don't doubt it is a great place to live. Like many others. Still.. this is kind of hard to explain without offending anyone, but I guess I am glad I did not born American. I just.. could not feel any national pride with country that has done such actions in the past, in the present and most probably in the future if nothing is changed. I understand patriotism is a great word for Americans ( for most of them I guess ), but somehow it differs what people here call patriotism. Also, being a vast country there is a great chance that I would have been raised to one of those individuals that represent the USA how we others see it. |

Jujutsu is the gentle art. It's the art where a small man is going to prove to you, no matter how strong you are, no matter how mad you get, that you're going to have to accept defeat. That's what jujutsu is.
Very well said Unelias!! |

I agree with AustralianFire that the movie industry has declined a lot..I mean movies these days are so cliched and predictable..I don't even get excited about movies coming out anymore except a few movies I am looking forward to. |

The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. - Albert Einstein
They're not even really making movies to entertain people, just to rake in massive megabucks. Moviemaking is big business now. They don't care at all about artistic integrity or message or anything like that - just hand over fist profits. New ideas aren't profitable, neither is art. No corporation spending tens of millions of dollars on a single project is going to risk long shots like that - they want only the safest bets. |
