HomeThey say approx. 80+% of the world hates American politics, attitudes and people...is this justified in your opinion? It's hardly a surprise in mine because Americas do tend to come off as arrogant and lazy.

I guess it depends on WHY they hate us. A lot of nations hate us because we are free and not yet as leftist as they are. But some might hate us cause Americans tend to be lazy and like their free handouts too much.
I don't think their hatred is justified because people in glass houses had best not cast stones, but I guess I'd need to know specifically WHY they hate us to say if it's merited or not.
Either way, I don't really care what THEY think. I don't want our country to pander to pleasing a bunch of nations that don't have to live here. They do what they want so I don't see why we should try to make THEM happy when we got our own issues to contend with.

They hate us until they need political and especially military support!

Yes and no. We ARE arrogant. Lazy.....I wouldn't go too rigid on that one because there is no way we are the richest country in the world if the majority of the citizens are lazy. Basically the main reason why they hate us is our staunch support of Israel. And that's a whooooooole 'nother debate.Kral wrote:They say approx. 80+% of the world hates American politics, attitudes and people...is this justified in your opinion?

I think it's because we posture as the worlds police.

That's a large reason why other territories hate the U.S., because we stand "guard" and pretentiously interfere with their politics.
