Not the uk but I think in Italy maybe disliked by 50%. We were bombed in Italy by the cia, we have a history of problems with the usa. The political consensus is that usa foreign policy is not in our interest.

That video is depressing. I was just saying to my husband a few days ago I wish we could be transported back in time to that era. We were both born in the mid 60s. I've often wondered what my grandparents would think if they were alive today to see what has become of our country.

America is not a country it's a continent. Maybe that why you feel hated.

I'm American but lived in central europe for a couple years in Slovakia, Czech Republic and Poland. I can tell you they hate us there. Not as much as the Russians, but they hate us nonetheless.

Re: Is America hated in your country?
We are hated for cause. We are as hated as the Nazis were goose stepping all over Europe. We defeated the Nazi's...then we became them. We have no more business occupying over 150 countries in the world with military presence than Germany did in the late 30's and 40's. To think we are the worlds policeman and moral compass is disturbing. Ron Paul said it best...this is "Blowback" from 70 years of bad foreign policy. The biggest threat to americas national security. is its foreign policy and the industrial military complex. We are Nazi's and the average american citizen is too dumbed down and propagandized to realize that great evils are done in our name just as the average German citizen was inflamed to support Hitler with national pride and master race ideology in the 1930's. We are in BIG TROUBLE if the american public doesn't take back our govt to represent. us as "WE THE PEOPLE" instead of "US the Corporate fascists".

NO. Only the tourists who come over to the UK and strut around like they own the place, generally make an ass of themselves, and think its okay to drive the wrong way down a one way street and argue they are in the right and the cop who ticketed them was in the wrong (yes this actually happened I was a witness).

Otherwise most people in the UK think you make good movies, love guns a bit too much, have totally forgotten you changed your pledge in the 1950's to include God because you didn't want to be seen as the same as those commies you hated so much, and seem to have misunderstood the whole concept of how free healthcare is supposed to be done.

Washington DC hates America. So, yes. America is hated in America.

Dear God do I miss Ronald Reagan.

"God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed... If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty... Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. " - Thomas Jefferson in 1787

Re: Is America hated in your country?
Most people here (in England) don't hate America, but they view you with humour, and think it's funny how 'Ameri-centric' the people there are, in believing that they're the centre of the universe, and that people elsewhere are always thinking about them, and either 'love' or 'hate' them.

The reality is that people in other countries barely even think of America, it's more indifference with a bit of humour. Your 9/11, for instance, which in the USA was huge, and people still bring it up a decade later! - here it was big news for a short time, then everyone forgot about it; the general attitude was, 'Aha, now they know what a terrorist bomb is like. We're used to it.' (Yes, I know it was an inside job, I'm just reporting the general reaction). America just isn't thought about that much; there are other countries out there, you know! :)

Re: Is America hated in your country?
I have an Argentinean lady friend who I asked a lot of questions to about this.

We have a target painted on us we proudly painted on ourselves is the general opinion .

We are prideful and arrogant that we are American. But nice ppl and a wonderful country and pound for pound the best country non the less. Freedom, opportunity, infrastructure, human rights, quality of living.....we got it all.

The general grumbling is that we live in a bubble. Safe and sound from the rest of the world's problem. America is like a giant island. There is a sort of childish wish to see that bubble popped. Our national pride is annoying to most other countries. They don't do that. Or can't.

That and no other country on the planet is a any kind of big deal unless they can somehow mess with America's plans or get in our way. Which means most countries are no big deal including the one they are from.

We are rich kids with all the luck and the best fighters.

So yeah....hate may be too strong a word for most because we are actually good ppl and most know that. They like to see us a getting a dose of our own tough guy medicine though. They can't help themselves.

Absolutely yes....the Irish love affair with America is over. Why? Your foreign policy, specifically your subservience to Israel and the mess you made in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya. Obviously I can't speak for all Irish, just the ones I know :). Btw I'm in the North of Ireland, hence the flag.

I've always thought of Poland, Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland as the most welcoming to Americans.

It's surprising to me to see Poland listed on this thread a couple of times as being one of the countries to hate America. You having lived there obviously have a better perspective than myself though.

I got some of that vibe there. One time, I had some expensive camera equipment and the guy who let the room out to me gave me a CANADA bag to store it in. Americans are considered more fair game for theft in many places.

I've been wondering this for quite a few years now myself.

Any of you wonderful non-amaericans care to answer his question?

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 62858941


Not to be rude I understand the programming you receive in America how its the greatest etc so it's not your fault to believe you are the best.

Most people in Australia don't like "yanks" and I've heard the term "America's fucked" for the 25 years of my life.

My mother who is polish says the saying "dirty America" has been around in Poland forever.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 65398980


Really? When my mother was a little girl, she, my grandmother & great-grandma, and her eight brothers and sisters escaped from Poland and came to America where a church donated them land in Colorado and they built the family farm by hand. No one spoke a word of English but now, decades later, each is successful and have stayed in Colorado with their families.

My mom is polish too but she appreciates this country. Never heard any of my relatives mention the term "dirty America". Odd.
