I live in Germany, and I notice that a lot of Europeans (mostly teenagers) try to copy American fads like clothes styles and music right off of MTV. But then if you try to talk to them, they will tell you that they hate Americans, all while standing in line in a Burger King or McDonald's? Why copy us if we're so bad?

Kenshin..."we the people" are just people like anyone else! That's the most judgemental thing I've ever heard! How can you hate what you don't know? That's total ignorance.

The world has to have someone to hate and thats usually the one that is the most world super power. A lot of tis comes from jealousy and you can't blame them. Look at where they live and what their lifestyle is like compared to ours. It's like that everywhere, so the iimitate us to give them the sense that they to have what we have and then hate us for really having it! To Bad, So Sad!

Oh, my! Look, USA is the most powerful country in the planet. That's a fact. They have the world's economy control and they do whatever they want. That's not so easy to stand for us (who doesn't live in the United States), but it's true USA have so many things everyone would like to have.
In short. Nobody loves the powerful, but everybody wants to be like him.

Ignorance, + envy, though they can't understand because there is not the right time yet, that been materialistically incline in this time and age, in this world, isn't a positive thing to be and accomplish.

They are just jealous. It seems a lot of counties say they hate us and bad-mouth our country, yet they want what we have and copy our styles and trends.

Cause human beings are hypocrites. We all do this at one point of time or the other. Situations may be different.
