Answer 2

You know how you wrote that Americans bash British people? Well, have you ever clicked onto a website and seen pages upon pages of British people bashing Americans? And, no offense, but I think British people criticize Americans a lot more.

But, I really cannot answer your question (as I'm American) and all I can say is: No all Americans bash British people and not all British people bash American people.

There are millions of citizens living in these two countries and each one has a different personality. So you really are generalizing Americans as arrogant crude idiots.

I think it's ridiculous how we have this American vs. British thing.

I don't understand why two countries (that go way back in history and share a language, although the language is not exactly the same) must constantly bash heads.

It is not that americans are hated as we are "cousins". It is that after 9/11 we all grieved with you and supported the attack on afghanistan but then both our governmnts dragged us in to iraq. Personally i have met really cool americans on my travels but some are really fckin arrogant and ignorant. They kind of exude a air of being above everybody and push ideas as if they are always correct when they are not. Also a lot of importing of brand america to developing contries which is sad as instead of learning from other cultures the US want to do what britain did years ago and control them and make them adapt to your way of thinking. Another thing! I dont know where it came from but I suspect LA .....political correctness which has destryed a persons ability to think and reason for themselves. I will be a decent human being on my own accord not because i have been told by the government to do so. Anyway just trying to give you an honest answer bt dont thing your a yank as too self aware! Only joking! Every race under the sun has a-holes and the yanks have done many great things and produeced some great people!

The more we bash eachother the worse it gets. Hey isn't this why Hitler started with the whole World War II thing? Because he hated someone for just being them? I don't mind you daying any of this because a lot of the people here abuse the freedom they recieve. And Americans have to stick their nose into everything. Why do you think Canadas not getting into trouble? Because they don't go in try to change a whole way of life and think they aren't going to get hit back. Sooner or later Canada will rule the World because every other nation has destroyed each other. So there.

Answer 5

In all the times I've been in the USA, I have never had cause for complaint about anything at all. In fact, I went to a 'gas' station just off Highway One in California; it was a Trading Post and the pumps were at ground level with the office upstairs and the whole building was on stilts.
I filled up with 'gas' and went up to the office where a very bright young lady asked me how much 'gas' I had put in the car?

I paid her for the amount I had taken, to the cent, and noticed that there was no metering equipment to advise her of the amount I had taken.

That is TRUST.

Answer 6

Well, I AM American so this probably isn't directed at me. I don't think the whole world hates Americans. I do think we make a convenient target for some. Some bitterness is born out of mistrust, jealously, you name it . On the other hand, we are involved in some questionable endeavors at the moment!

I also think we sometimes overstate our importance in the world...maybe that's what ticks so many people off.

Answer 7

Haven't you just overgeneralized by assuming everyone hates Americans? I certainly don't there are good and bad in all nationalities.
