Are Americans getting tired of taking crap from other countries?

Question

Im serioius... Read some of these postings about Amercia. They all hate us...So why do we bother...I think its time to isolate ourselves, with the exception of world trade, and just let the rest of the world deal with these problems. Ive become so weary of hearing how evil America is..how we are the real terrorists..how were are ignorant and morally weak in comparison to other countries...Amercia, I think its time to come home...Stop travelling to other countries...cut all communication...and just live in peace...Amercia just cant win...We are damed if we do and damed if we dont...So i say scew it...Amercia come home and live and play were you are loved...or atleast respected...Come home America...Come home..

Answer 1

I don't blame them why do america bomb everyones land they need to mind their own business. No body trys to stop America for their unjust crimes. So why do America try to be a police to something they did theirself. Everything this nation did will happen to them.

Answer 2

Yeah, well, I'll agree our military should spend a whole lot more time at home. The US should be a participant of the UN and not use it as a puppet. And, we certainly should not defy it. We had no justification to invade Iraq and our role as peacekeeper elsewhere is one we cannot play alone. It is a global community, not a world for the US to bully around. It's called respect, and it goes a lot further in ensuring our safety and continuity than our present Administration's philosophy (i.e. lie to it's citizens and start wars).

I also think our people should travel a lot more, be in the world beyond the US, understand why so many see the US as evil, and give the world a better opportunity to see that Americans aren't like some of our politician's decisions make us seem. We are an extremely diverse population that generally accepts people of all races, religions, orientations, and classes. We are far from perfect, we have struggles, we are not nearly as rich as many would believe, we have loud mouth extremists, but on the whole, most people here are good to each other including immigrants from every else in the world, which is exactly what we all are.

That's my rant. We do wrong by others, what else do you expect.

PS re: capitalism -- we don't have true capitalism in the US. It's regulated and controled here in ways it isn't elsewhere. We have social services, too, albeit not enough. Mainly, we have the technology and ability to produce equally viable alternatives to oil. We can choose to not build over our farm and pasture lands. In short, we have the resources we need here if we use them intelligently. We don't need to stomp all over the world to get them.

Your question isn't really a question, is it? I will answer as a subjective answer but I will try to be more honest because vitrol doesn't get anywhere. I as an American believe there are a number of answers to your question. Depending on who the America hater is, there is a different answer for each. Based upon your question though, I will adress your assumption.
Your biggest assumption is that we go on our military expeditions or even forieghn aid out of alteristic motives. This is patently false. Our country is driven by capitalism. Capitalism is what has allowed us to have a higher standard of living than most of the world. In order for us to maintain that standard of living we need to have resourses. The world economy is ever more globalised and therefore our interest in access to resourses is ever more globalised. The brutal truth is that if you want something bad enough and others want it also, the biggest and strongest will be able to get it. Right now, that is us. If we decided that the fight for resourses was not worth the hastle, our standard of liveing would drop to that of a third world nation and we no longer would be the ones curing diseases and winning nobel prizes. However, in order to win nobel prizes and cure diseases we must have corrupt client countries who do not abide by democratic principles and the ones in power sell out their countries resourses at the sacrifice of the wealth of the people who live there. America is quickly becoming the same as those third world countries because rule of law has been sold out to greed just like it was in ancient Rome.
Some people blindly hate America because they simply do not know better. Some people hate America because they are actually fustrated with the democratic/free market system. Some people hate America because they falsley think that Islam will solve all problems. Some people hate America because they are sexually fustrated. Who really knows. None the less, America is not the shineing Republic on the hill that is a beacon of hope to the world. As an Americans we need to first open our eyes and work to make America better. That does not mean our critics are right but it does mean we need to pay closer attention to what is happening to our country.


ps.. this is more of an editorial and not an answer also the spell checker didn't work.

Answer 4

If the worlds super power cant help to fix the problems its made why on earth would you think the other countrys would or could? And yes america has made its bed now its time to either lay in it or make a new better bed.

Answer 5

They don't hate America, thay hate our policies, our leadership. If we had competent leaders, we wouldn't be so hated throughout the world.

Isolationism is never the answer. But invading other nations to push our form of democracy on them is not the answer either. The answeris rational foreign policy, and that's not what we're getting from Bush/Cheney etc. The answer involves replacing them.

Answer 6

that's a crap international, im contained in the united kingdom and the only gangs around are new child gangs. it somewhat is pathetic and that they are killing harmless human beings each and every week/month. there replaced into as quickly as a time you need to leave your front door open and enable your babies run for the duration of the streets without the fears of them being encountered by utilising those idiots. because of the fact of this my plans in life are to circulate out of the country to a nicer place. i.e Australia, Canada, Thailand.

Answer 7

There is a spell-check utility which you could have used before pressing the button to post. Yes, that is the problem. You (Americans) rush to press the button too often and think later. The button can be nuclear too. No use lamenting later.

Answer 8

We can't isolate ourselves. It would defeat the purpose on which this country was established... capitalism.
To isloate ourselves would put this country under economic hardships that none of us can even begin to imagine. So no, it would never happen.

Answer 9

The only reason everyone hates America is because they didn't stay home in the first place.
