Yesterday,I read a question disparaging me Country and its people in some really filthy language. This question enraged me so much, I couldn't think clearly.This was just ONE question. This had me thinking, Americans face this almost everyday. Some guy or girl somewhere hates America and posts some abusive question here regularly.
So, how do you people deal with it without losing your mind?

They are showing their ignorance. In this country we have free speech and that is why this country is great. We have lots of freedoms. Sometimes that is good and sometimes it can get us into trouble. That is another reason why many other countries hate us. You learn to live with others opinions and learn to ignore a lot. Dont take other people opinions to heart they are just trying to hurt you and you are letting them. Be happy! :)

Most of those posts are by 13 year old kids testing their anonymous status on the web. They don't vote, they don't pay taxes and the only thing they read is the instructions to their current video game. They get all their news from a talking head on TV or Youtube and they have no life experience or social immersion that allows them to have any legitimate opinion about the state of world affairs or the health of their country. They don't know what it takes to earn a living or what kind of interactions are involved in maintaining an open global market or why a wealthy Arab businessman can buy and sell puts on the NYSE. They think a radio evangelist has the same skil set as a structural engineer and that nobody ever has to shed blood to pay the price of liberty. YET - we let them express their opinions freely and we are probably one of only a very few countries that allow it with no penalty. Its a guaranteed freedom to express this kind of foolishness and in allowing it we insure our own spot on the stage of public opinion to express our own thoughts , no matter how flawed. In the United States it is your choice to listen or go play vids. At some point they either grow up and come around or become an itinerant public access cable tv moron preaching the newest conspiracy theory about what evil lurks deep in the 2nd sub- basement of the White House.

I know that America is the greatest country in the world, and I'm damn proud to be an American. If someone doesn't like us, there are a hundred others that love the U.S. Besides, you can't hate America because of some bad decisions that our President made. He's just one person, and doesn't really speak for the rest of us.

Eh...we're used to it...besides we know a lot of people/nations dislike America. It doesn't matter because you can't please everyone. And to be honest, most of us could care less about others. It's called wasted energy when you worry over what other nations (some you've never heard of) hate you for a little of nothing.
Picking fights over issues that don't affect others outside our country or picking fights because you just hate America is childish.
Boo. Hoo. Hoo.
People need to get a life.

Pray for them.
I feel very blessed to live in this country and honored to have the freedoms I have. I'm thankful for the men and women who serve this great country and make the sacrifices they do for us!

I don't let it bother me, it's only words based on the opinion of someone that probably has never been here to see what it's really like.

I just consider the source; someone I don't know and will never meet. They want to say something about my country, I'll probably never meet them, so why should I care?

I think about all the people that died to give us these freedoms.
