What the he** is wrong with all you americans and the rest of the world? Do you take pride in being such ignorant a**holes that don't give a ***** about the rest of the world (unless it's an oil-producing country..)?

It may be a surprise to some, but there is more to this world than the US (most americans wouldn't know though, since they've never been out of the country..). It is attitudes such as the one's expressed above in this thread that make people around the world hate the US - what is so hard about that to understand? Do you fail to see that you bring the hatred upon yourselves?

I've said it before (and I'll say it again, for reference) - I used to live in the US and I know your country well (I have travelled to more states than most americans do in a lifetime..). I used to absolutely love the US, but the attitude that I see nowadays makes me sick....
There's of course nothing wrong about patriotism, I consider myself very patriotic, but there should be a line somewhere where you ask yourself if maybe you've gone too far...

How about being humble once in a while? How about listening for a change (instead of just invading)? And how about giving people a break when they do not support your views (it's called freedom of choice, you know?), instead of reverting to name-calling (most of us stopped doing that when we left preschool...)?
No wonder US-popularity around the world is at an all-time low... and this makes me sad more than anything else.

If my country behaved like this, I'd be embarrassed....

Disclaimer - the above does not - of cource! - apply to all americans! But a share of the population big enough to make me worry...

No doubt, these opinions will get me flamed... but I'm entitled to express my opinions. Without name-calling.
I'm not out to kill your country, but it makes me mad as he** to see that so many of you only see one side of the coin.
