Ever wonder why they hate us around the World?


No. Don't be a dick.


I am..........disturbed.

The greatest days in human history will be the days when communism becomes extinct! I wish I could have the 5 minutes of my life back from trying to figure out this asshat's compilation was actually intentional!

Maybe this tick-turd can integrate in one of the "prospering septic tanks" that choose to have an aggressive stances with us - like maybe the super prosperous peace loving North Korea?

WOW!? GFY.

I have worked a fair bit "around the world" and these are my observations. Clearly my time in the ME (UAE, Iraq and Qatar) as well as a few years over in Kazakhstan both off and on-shore were very anti-American. Not surprised in the least. That said many European's (east and west), African's, Russians and Chinese (as an expat I have worked with most every nationality) had a similar view of "big azz America". The Korean's, it seems in my six months here, generally don't and the Australians not whilst the western Canadians a bit. Kind of a Houston vs. Calgary hub oil thing or it seemed. Egos more than anything I suspect as we dumbazz engineers that turn to manage these companies seem to become... But the blow hard replies above, fuggem as they are without basis for the most part, are without knowledge hence senseless silly chite. They seem to permeate from a hillbilly view that, for the majority, having not worked outside the US let alone their friggen county all sucks. I spend an awful lot of my time carefully crafting my responses to my "wherever the hpuck they come from contractors" to try and assure delivery. Y'all have not a hphukcing clue in this regard. And, trust me, I am not being arrogant here, just how it works in my thirty years of playing in this pond. Bottom line, to deliver, I have to take all of the above in, sort it and decide how to move forward, contractually (+$10B contracts) as well as all of the rest. This is what I owe to the company, it's investors and myself. Tough azz chite to say the least and precisely why I will bow out at age 53... This is a brutal industry that most have have not a clue to chirp a view. Trust me in this or challenge me with experience the same.

I don't care if half the world doesn't like us; I don't care what 50% of our population (demorats) think either. They can KMA .

No. And I couldn't care less. But I would like to know why almost half the citizens in this country hate it so much.

I met a woman who lived in different countries around the world long enough to learn nine languages. After she lived in America for awhile she told me, "This is where I am staying. There is nothing like it anywhere."


The reason so many Americans don't like America is because they are brainwashed against her at school.

I love America,and feel blessed to live here,and while I'm fully aware that our foreign policy is not always fair,and down right wrong in many ways I will ALWAYS be proud to be an American unconditionally ..I guess the old Reagan quote "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" can also mean The friend of my enemy is my enemy..

The chickens are coming home to roost and those who think they have some sort of protection against the hell-storm America is about to witness ought to reflect on where their future tax dollars are spent. Retribution is serious business and as a Nation, America has both hands tied and a bag over its head. Good effin luck!

Is he the Irish twat who narrates the video? He sounds like the basement-dwelling losers who write the books that Hawkeye likes so much. Google his name and there isn't anything related to the film industry.

I agree. I have been all over, and I have lived outside the US for almost 23 years. Yes, not everyone agrees with everything the US thinks or does, but by and large they are all highly dependent on the US, most completely understand that �� and appreciate the US, big time.


This^^

By and large I've met friendly people in all my travels, I've even found the nice ones in Paris smile

Americans get much more involved in politics than most other nations. Most other countries take a much more deferential attitude towards their governments, they just do what they're told and try and do the best they can under "the system". What their governments do and their own personal attitudes are two separate things. For example, the limited dealings I've had with Iranian people have been more positive than others in the middle east like those from Arab countries. Every Iranian I've met has struck me as a nice person, something I can't say about all Arabs although I have met some very nice Arabs. Iran's government couldn't be more hostile to the U.S. however.

American's are big, loud, outspoken, & gregarious. We stand out like sore thumbs overseas because of this (and the white tennis shoes). We're different, but for the most part I've found people friendly towards us.
