Well, i am not sure if americans know this, but most people in the world hate america at the moment. Why do you think this is?
Firstly i do not hate americans, however i would like to unpick the reasons for this current trend today. I will start off with listing some reasons i see, and why they might be reasons, Oh, you'll see what i mean
People hate americans because:
Their stupid. Sorry guys, but many people in Brittan think your stupid. This has not always been the case, and i think the main reason for this is Bush. Bush is not terrably bright, and you have thus been steriotyped to a point that when people hear an american accent, they are expecting them to say something like 'i know fish and humans can co-exist peacefully'.
War in Iraq The american people largly supported the war in Iraq. Now i know that we in the UK went as well, but we largly opposed it, with HUGE demonstrations in London taking place, and there has always been an anti war feeling, and a Tony Blair hate, which leads me to my next point.
We hate tony blair WAIT FOR IT English people feel that tony blair is Bush's lap dog, and feel that we have lost part of our leader to the americans (and if you wanted to know why we voted in the prat again, don't ask me, i didn't vote for him, although to be fair on other people, there was a distinct lack of any competition.)
Americans are arrogant One of the hardest reasons i have to pinpoint, but i think that americans partriotism has something to do with it, help here!
Ok, so there are some point i think are the reasons, others (also, i would prefer this to be a constructive thread as opposed to outright slagging off).
In all, i think a large reason is due to ignorance. America is such a diverse country that to make such general assumtions is a little wrong, however, thats just me. Comments please.
