What is the real down to earth reason the USA is a nation hated around the world?

Answer 1

The arrogance, the self-righteousness, and the stupidity.

The combination is breathtaking.

I have heard this, unsolicited, from people all over the world.

Answer 2

The USA is a good, decent, honest country that offers freedom.

Which is also the reason why the USA is a nation is loved around the world.

Answer 3

Its not a hated country around the world. The only place I have heard that was in the news, and if they reported that everbody loves the USA, their ratings would drop as that would be boring news. In my travels, I have encountered various people from different countries, and have not been persecuted, or attacked by anyone(well there was one drunk british guy) for being an American. Actually the only people who I kind of felt an anti-American sentiment for was from Isreal, but I dont think it was personal, I think they just choose not to be sociable with others and stick to their own kind.

Answer 4

Because we have the power to do the things they wish to do. The world will always hate the nations with great power. For many we are nothing more than a boogey man their leaders use to deceive them. To others we are a force that stands in their way. Still others are upset that we do not simply give to them without strings attached. Each World government wants to be the most powerful and influential.

Answer 5

For some people - it is money... The USA has simply enjoyed their financial status for too long as far as some people are concerned.

For other, more intelligent or omnicient people, it is because America has become rather hateful and bigoted.

People in other countries see what we type and how we think (in public forums like these) and it doesn't look pretty on us.

America needs to remember that we have it pretty easy and some of the things we say (when we think we are being clever) actually hurt the feelings of people and nations who have helped us to become what we are.

Answer 6

We (the United States) are the new kids on the block (as nations go). We are the only super power left. That is why we are hated.

Answer 7

Part of it is simply jealousy. After all, Europe used to be the cultural, economic, and intellectual center of the world; now, they are just a great big tourist attraction.
Another is simply the US foreign policy. As a global superpower, Bush and other presidents have taken it upon themselves to act as police dogs and act unilaterally in world affairs that really don't concern the US.

Answer 8

1.USA is really have a bad altitude.
2.They do not give, most times the do not help unless they know that they would benefit.
3.You also have they altitude, USA is right while everybody else is wrong, like you can see from answers like USA rock while Everybody sucks.
4. you are selfish.
5.You think you will be superpower forever (never going to happen).
6.You think to be an American is to be they best in the world and every else are below you.
7.You get up in everybody business like war that has no nukes and no reason for they USA to interfere.
8. They do not like your way of living like, prostitution, gambling E.T.C. so it is against there ways.
9.You expect countries to support you when you make decisions that they do not support.
10.you like Oil way to much that is a reason people do not like you


EDIT
What is with they thumbs down, You ask they question and I am not going to tell you lies that USA is not hated or only by people that USA have done wrong. USA is hated and if you are not an American you think you are they best, most giving country in they world, if it was not for USA this world would be in war all they time, these are all lies.

You ask they Q and I gave they proper answer, if you want to ignore it then fine, I am not asking you to believe in it I am just saying the facts.

If you ask they question ho do you surpport in they election I am saying that I surpport Rodney, you asked a question and I gave you they facts, no need for thumbs down.

and you guys do not care, you get hated more and more with every day especially when you say that USA Rock and Everybody else SUCKS.

Some Americans are so Ignorant.

Answer 9

Americans have this relaxed and informal attitude and aren’t forced to memorize facts at school and so they are accused of being stupid, yet time and time again they defy the odds (and sometimes logic) and succeed. There was a line in Cassablanca;
GERMAN – those blundering Americans
FRENCHMAN – ya, I was with them when they blundered into Berlin in 1919

Answer 10

One reason they hate us is classicism. Let's face it the founding fathers of this country, and many citizens since, were kicked out of every "decent" country in the world. Well, OK so some of them left of their own accord for various reasons. Another reason is that we are very prosperous.

Then there is the cultural factor. As Americans we have the "cowboy" swagger/mentality. We are loud and proud, and don't really give a damn if you don't like it.

The style of government we have also adds to this hatred. That is we don't have a truly socialist government......yet, and hopefully never will.

The only misconception most people have is the when America started being hated. Most feel it has been since we started being active in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is simply not the case, we have been hated around the world since before WW2.

Answer 11

USA as a nation is not hated. People of USA and people of the rest of the world are all the same. Same love, same affection and same aspirations. Same family binding.
It is US Government that is hated around the world. Once elected, the Presidents go wild without any control whatsoever.
