Yep, I hate every single person, place, object and entity in America.
Okay, I don’t. But that doesn’t mean I don’t hate a great number of things that America has given to the world. And it also doesn’t mean that I won’t list a selection of these things for you now.
Here is some of the shit America has unashamedly excreted into the world for us all to endure, as well as other stuff I am holding them wholly accountable for:
- The Ku Klux Klan
- McDonald’s
- Napalm
- My Chemical Romance
- Twinkies
- Anne Coulter
- The popularisation of morbid obesity
- Frasier
- Hillary Clinton
- The phrase “my bad”
- P.O.D.
- TV evangelism
- The constant mispronunciation and misspelling of English words
- Barney the dinosaur
- Scientology
- Matt Damon
See what I mean now? One country is to blame for all of this. And this is only a mere fraction of what I can be bothered to write down. Feel free to add to the list.
May 7, 2008 at 3:45 pm |
you’re wrong about P.O.D. you know. The whole world is.
May 7, 2008 at 6:07 pm |
English Excrement:
-Boris Johnson
-Heavily embellished spelling of words with extra letters i.e. “colour” etc.
-Earl Grey
-Simon Cowell
-British food
-LTJ BUKEM
-the London Summer
-Shoreditch Hipsters
-Leona “Horseface” Lewis
-The Crusades
-Prince Harry
-Topshop
-Ricky Gervais
-British kids rocking New Era caps, having never played/watched baseball
I can’t think of any more, sorry, “my bad”.
November 3, 2009 at 10:52 am |
The British invented the concept of empire and cultural imperialism. Americans just improved upon it.
May 8, 2008 at 4:48 pm |
hey dude, we’re talking about america here. get your own comments section.
anyway, your list is mostly just less bad versions of the stuff i mentioned.
for every boris johnson you guys have got a george bush. and for every prince harry there is a mcdonald’s drive-thru.
November 3, 2009 at 10:53 am |
McDonalds would have stayed in America, only…Europeans loved it so much
May 8, 2008 at 11:53 pm |
The UK certainly loves their McDonald’s, check it out:
http://www.mcdonalds.co.uk/?f=y
Britain = tiny backwards island
US = massive obese mess
Tough to compare.
It is, however, pretty hard to to top the Crusades, and LTJ Bukem. Serious.
Definitely odd how baseball caps (especially NY, LA, SF etc.) are worn religiously by urban types in the UK. Think about that. Looks like John’s wearing one in his photo even.
Loving me some Prince Harry though.
May 13, 2008 at 8:00 pm |
tiny backwards island? well what does that make the shithole your from then? the UK rules your world so much you haven’t even noticed.
May 21, 2008 at 12:11 pm |
if it weren’t for the US, i’d most likely be speaking German now. i don’t like a lot of American things either, but i’d rather have them then having to suffer the alternative.
May 22, 2008 at 11:02 am |
twinkies are good
May 22, 2008 at 11:03 am |
wait wait wait NICKELBACK arent on that list?
May 25, 2008 at 10:51 am |
dual denz. that isn’t the point you wankjob. is that the only reason you have for to justify your cultureless exsistance? seriously, I’ve heard that one far to much.
” blah blah blah if it wasn’t for us you would be speaking german.”
if it wasn’t for you lot i’m sure a lot of things would be much better too.
May 25, 2008 at 10:53 am |
oh wait, you’re not american. you might as well be. britain doesn’t need that kind of attitude. there are to many fuckwits already. NOW GO BACK TO WATCHING FRIENDS.
May 26, 2008 at 6:29 pm |
it was america and the other capitalist/fascists that bankrolled hitler in the 1930s, including george bushes great grandparents. but either way, just because one nation is shit doesnt make our one better, thats called nationalism and thats a bad thing which should be up on the hate list.
October 29, 2009 at 5:14 pm |
You really are that stupid? No wait this has to be a joke!
May 31, 2008 at 10:56 am |
boris johnson is actually american too. another you can add to the list.
June 19, 2008 at 6:24 am |
Somehow i missed the point. Probably lost in translation
Anyway … nice blog to visit.
cheers, Ponytail.
November 20, 2008 at 1:41 am |

You are right. America is a shitty society. Rob from the poor to feed the rich.
A pathetic group of over-privledged whinny losers. 300 million shitty assholes.
January 18, 2009 at 2:39 pm |
HAHAHAHAHA I HAVE HATED AMERICA MY WHOLE LIFE…
in case you didn’t notice you drawling, cheesy-smiled, fat freaks, your language originally came from england and any shortened versions of spelling are the result of american laziness. I also hate the way they name one thing after a brand name… like Jell-o! Minging! I’m so picky about grammar and spelling, that kind of thing really pisses me off. If it wasn’t for us English the Americans wouldn’t even be there… so they can suck on that, bitches!
American rock music as well is just some amplified, messed up, noisy, screaming version of British rock… stupid emo lyrics and crappy minor chords played over and over with that incessant boring drawl droning on and on with no regard whatsoever for anything like KEY or TUNE.
then again we can’t blame the peopl eof america for this crap. i suppose it’s just the result of money, oil, brands, celebrities… and eventually like I said… the English gave birth to Americans…
October 29, 2009 at 5:16 pm |
ummmm…. NO!
January 19, 2009 at 4:22 pm |
Yeah! I hate all Americans cos they are all fat and stupid and make sweeping generalisations. This list is the very definition of tilting at windmills. Oh and just to clear one thing up, I could be wrong but I very much doubt that even if Nazi Germany wanted to make the whole world speak German (which I don’t remember being on their “to do list”), that they could have done it in one or two generations. Do you not think there might have been some sort of resistance movement? We still have Welsh and Cornish for fucks sake.
As for the embittered English accusing Americans of corrupting the language, many “Americanisations” are in fact old English words that have fallen out of use in the UK and language is not static. It is a dynamic thing, always developing and changing, which is why the English language (including the American tongue) has over twice as many individual words than any other. It is a wonderfully verbose thing and should be celebrated.
January 21, 2009 at 1:55 am |
Hating Americans, huh? I can understand hating George Bush, or Bushy as we call him, but the people? Based on what? Have you been there? I’m not saying you’ll like it, but have you? Did you know that MOST Americans, a whopping 73%, depise George Bush and didn’t want to go to war? Most people think it is about 2 things. 1. finishing the job his dad, George Bush Sr., didn’t finish with the Gulf War and 2. getting his filthy paws on more oil. The people of America are not stupid. The government is failing the children by neglecting education in favor of god knows what, it’s true. But the mothers’ and fathers’ of those children are crying out but going unanswered. American’s don’t know much about the rest of the world because on either side of the country is a giant friggin ocean. Most Americans will NEVER leave the country. It just simply costs too much. The majority of people in america can’t afford it. If your neighbors house is 50 miles away, how much do you really think you’d know about them if you had to walk there? They are frustrated and they are mislead by an increasingly corrupt government. They are brainwashed from birth to believe that they are free but told they have to paint their house a certain color. They are told that they are free but have to jump through so many hoops their whole life to do ANYTHING that they just get tired and complacent. They work and work for what they have. Don’t think just because there are 50 TV’s to choose from at the store that MOST Americans didn’t work meaningless jobs for 40 hours a week just to get a check that covers the bills and food. I am an American and I AM dissatisfied with my government body. I AM disgusted with the MILLIONS of fat people here. God is that annoying… the fat blobs… But that is not all of us. Most people are actually overweight because they work so much that 1. they don’t get enough sleep, 2 no time to eat properly (hence the explosion of fast food). Everything is rush rush rush. The average American crams 18 hours of activity into a 14 hour day when compaired to many parts of the world. that is not an opinion, that is a statistic. We are not lazy. We don’t have time to even take care of ourselves. That is a path beginning to change. We are still fighting. We the Americans still believe our dream and even though our government hasn’t listened to us for the last 8 years, our voice has risen and we will show the world again who we really are. We will not follow a madman. Not knowingly anyway. By the way, a sweeping generalization about American’s isn’t the best way to combat the ’sweeping generalizations’of Americans… Dummy.
January 21, 2009 at 1:57 am |
Oh and we didn’t name Jell-o. We just want what’s in the box
February 1, 2009 at 4:15 am |
You’re right about everything but Frasier and Matt Damon
February 1, 2009 at 4:16 am |
Also quite funny is the fact that all Americans seem to hate George Bush…If you hate him, why is he charge? That even makes you fuckheads more stupid
February 1, 2009 at 4:18 am |
So, what Europe is trying to say. You fucking yanks have blood on your hands, you all have. And one day you’re going to regret it
February 1, 2009 at 4:20 am |
And 4. Don’t think you have any right to complain..The whole fucking world knows your continent is cancer. And probably your continent has inventend cancer. America is dying..Russia and China are taking over, you fuckheads will be suffering
February 1, 2009 at 4:23 am |
5. I hope Europe will be dropping bombs on America some day. So those fucktards will know they’re worth nothing
February 1, 2009 at 4:25 am |
6. Remember one thing..Europe hates you fucking cunts
February 1, 2009 at 4:45 pm |
Europe has a filthy mouth if you are it’s sole representative. Hmmm… Europe hates Americans. Is that all Europeans or some or are you speaking for yourself? The same process could be said of americans opinions of George bush. When we voted him in (by the way Al Gore won the majority vote. Bush only won by a technicality of electoral votes) some americans liked him, some didn’t feel either way, and some, like myself, didn’t vote for or like him at all. As the years have past we have seen what he has done in the name of America and MOST of us don’t like him because of it. He does not have the support of the American people. That is why we fired most of our senate and house reps and got rid of the Republican party. We had to wait until Bush’s term was over so we could vote him out. I believe WE the American people have. That is why Barack Obama is our president now. WE hope he can represent us truthfully and honorably on the world stage. We hope that our values and desires for peace will flow through this man and tears of joy will replace tears of frustration that once rolled down our cheeks. You have no idea what it is like to be here. To be in a country so large that your voice might as well be a speck of dust. It is disheartening. and yes, we complain. Why? We have been brain washed our whole lives that we are free, yet every immigant I have met says they feel no freedom here. We are straight jacketed and told we are free to fly. We are fed shit on a spoon and asked to smile and take it. You can’t even say the word CRAZY on the radio any more because it might offend someone. That, to me, is crazy. But I love my country, or maybe just the landscape… i’m not sure anymore. I will agree with you that America is on a downward spiral but we won’t give it up that easy. We just need a breath of fresh air to pick ourselves back up again and figure out what the hell is going on. It is sad, Netherlands, that you would wish anyone dead. You sound just like all the Bush followers talking about the middle east. You sure you aren’t one of them? Change the country around to Iraq and man, you’d be a good ol’ boy redneck. Oh, I almost forgot, you posted Feb 1st and asked why is Bush in charge. He hasn’t been in charge since January 20th and Obama was elected in mid November.

P.S. Nickelback should DEFINATELY be on the list of things from America that suck.

Nickelback is an alternative rock band from Canada!!!!
February 20, 2009 at 8:51 pm |
rebecca that is a good arguement but your not going to stop people from hateing america it may be true some of you are good people but the majority are what we don’t like. Belive it or not we can’t say stuff on the radio or T.V. like crazy because it may offend some one as well so stop thinking your so hard done by. That is what i don’t like is every one of you either is 100% supportive of your country and all your seteriotypical views on the world, and the other half is like you and thinks oh no its a big lie feel sorry for us.
February 21, 2009 at 2:56 pm |
I’m not trying to stop people from hating america. I’m hoping that people all over the world will be less inclined to judge any nation or civilization based on stereotypes and misconceptions. I’m also not trying to convey the message that america is the only country that isn’t allowed to say crazy on the air. I was using that example to illustrate how in what is supposed to be the nation of freedom, as we are raised to believe in our heart of hearts and by that come to expect as adult citizens of this nation, we are controlled down to our conistitutional free speech. I think I broke 5 laws just driving to work this morning and I obeyed all traffic laws that I know of. Oh, no wait, I did drive with my flip flops off… I’m not supposed to drive barefoot. So that’s probably 6 laws I broke. It is just a small thing to be able to say crazy on the radio, but it just doesn’t seem that the government is satisfied with being in cotrol of things that are important. They are starting to control so much of the detail of life that it doesn’t feel like freedom. My mother in Dallas, for example, just had to cut any branches lower than 10 ft off her trees on her property that she “OWNS” because the city passed an ordinance. Here in Florida, where I live, you have to have 3 trees in your front yard period in some areas of the city. Now when you have major problems, as many, many, many other places have and we have as well, these seem trivial. However, when you are raised to believe that you are free to pursue happiness and what that means to you, the hundreds upon hundreds of details you might have never thought could be taked away from you start to become more and more important. Small cuts are truely small cuts, but multiply that over the entire body of a person and you’ve got an attack on a person to deal with, not just a cut. The cuts are connecting and if you add in the salt of ‘land of the free’ it makes it hurt that much more. Anyone should be free to think what ever they want about any person, place or thing. I just wish people the world over would be less inclined to make broad generalizations sentencing peoples to death or destructions after having judged it deserved in their minds. Governments world over are the clouds in the sky, some bring shade, some bring rain and others just pass peacefully by but can you hate the sky? It is the clouds that demand attention and focus.

and madonna old hore…

I live here in america and I hate it. Why don’t we have free health care like the rest of the western world. Why is everyone so worried about what Jessica Simpson is doing. why are our tax dollars going to prisons being nicer then our homes. in fact that’s the only place in america where we can get free health care ..is in f*cking prison. I am thinking about moving to Europe but america will probably bomb there too. and do notice that im spelling america with a lower case a.
March 2, 2009 at 12:24 am |
That is why we the people have to take the power back. We are 300 million strong Ryan. It will take all of us to act so we can be the America painted for us as children in this country. As the dream we’ve been denied. There are 300 MILLION of us. This is no small number. We are an ocean slowly building momentum towards the shore of a government too long out of touch with the people. Totally off subject, but how do you feel about 1/3 of the prison poulation being incarcerated for marijuana possession? That’s a staggering factoid.
March 3, 2009 at 7:00 am |
hahaha this is a great little blog. Some interesting words bexta. Let me begin by stating that I am an Australian, and I loathe america to its rotten core. I found this blog by googling “i hate america” after seeing photo’s of the US Navies latest toy; an electromagnetic railgun that will blow shit up halfway around the world within +/- 5 metres accuracy with a projectile that travels at 7 miles per second. This is what your nation is about. Not feeding the hungry, not reducing their pollution or investing in alternative energy. This is why people with your principles would be best served by hanging themselves. You will forever be drowned out by the *other* half of your redneck flag-waving so-patriotic-its-just-plain-stupid population. I know there are good people in America; but I don’t believe there is any momentum swinging their way. It’s a snowball effect; your nation is built upon slavery; tempered with greed-oriented war and garnished with the utter hypocrisy of “free speech”. What’s left? Obese people who worship their military technology, and tell the whole world how they feel without realising just how stupid they look. The only reason America has contributed to modern science is because of it’s ridiculously huge military budget. A military is for killing people; this is what your nation is about. Like you said yourself; with 300 million people no one could fucking stop you if you stood united. But you don’t. Your nation is a shining example of the inherent flaws in human beings when all basic survival needs have been met. A cold void baren of spirituality, free-thought, and any kind of promising future. Do yourselves a favor – kill yourselves, or die fighting for your values. Stop talking about them. Your apathy and inaction is destroying the entire planet, not just your ugly shit-hole of a nation. Man the fuck up.
March 3, 2009 at 11:29 pm |
Well said. Except for committing suicide, that is exactly how myself and a growing majority of Americans feel. That hatred you harbor for the issues you mentioned cannot by nature be foreign concepts to us because we are right in the middle of it. We are lied to so successfully by the government that it is hard to see what is real sometimes. With the exception of the last 20 years or so, most people here have been cut off from the outside world and only know the ‘news’ as the government presents it. The people of this country are stirring. The internet, this website and the constant new alternative media reporting are breaking into the carefully constructed image of our country the government has painted. We are waking up. I have to admit you are extremely interesting to me. You’ve summerized so well countless conversations I’ve had and heard over and over again. So, seriously, where would you start? I’m even worried about what I’m typing here… I could end up in jail tagged as a terrorist for phrasing something that could be taken as hostility towards my country. I could be executed as a traitor. I Also know that some where in a little room, some one in the government is reading this and possibly flagging it. My whole life could be destroyed along with every else’s I know. Would you want the US government after you? Just you? Think about that a little. You may understand why people are a little hesitant to act. I spent the night in jail once because I was driving on a suspended license unaware. I had no prior record but I was shackled and taken to a detention center anyway. It wasn’t because I was dangerous or anything either… I’m a 5′7 girl who was raised by a police officer and I was only 26 at the time. It was bullshit. Why was my license suspended? Someone had stolen my identity in the Washington DC area and had gotten a speeding ticket on a license I never had. They never paid the fine, I went to jail and I went to court every month for a year. I would have sat in jail for a month if I hadn’t been able to post bail. I also just want to say I really repect what you wrote. I think I’ve read it about 5 times. I wish everyone in this country was as fed up and as knowledgable as you about US affairs as you are… something would change. Where did you learn about that horrible railgun? Some things should just never be.
March 3, 2009 at 11:38 pm |
I also found this blog by typing in I hate America into google. Our government tells us that most of the world loves us… I figured it can’t be true and ‘heard’ it wasn’t. I wanted to know why and talk to people I’m cut off from. I didn’t know what to expect. I didn’t really know that so many people would wish me dead for being an American. That knowledge is sobering and depressing.
March 4, 2009 at 1:18 am |
Well a big part of why the rest of the world hates america is because america is a superpower which exerts huge influence on western societies all over the world. Come to Australia, turn on the TV any night of the week, and 95% of what you will see is american TV shitcoms, news about america, and remnants of american “terrorist” propaganda. Here in Australia we have introduced our own “anti-terror” laws and advertising campaigns (“Be Alert, Not Alarmed!”, “Is It a Bag, Or Something Else?”) which is just plain ludicrous considering there has never been an act of terrorism in Australia aside from our own governments treatment of the indigenous population. This is the kind of political power your nation exerts, and nations like mine just lick the balls of retards like George W because our economies rely on the stability of yours – and yours relies on greed-oriented wars and pacification of the population. I find it all sobering and depressing also. Most of the western world deserves to die in my opinion; and I couldn’t care less if that were to happen. I hate my own kind, but I can’t deny that the root of it all starts and ends with america – you lead, we inevitably follow. And your not setting an altruistic example, by a long shot.
March 5, 2009 at 7:28 pm |
I also found this blog by typeing in ”i hate america” into google i’m British and to be honest most of the things my government says i completely dis agree with and like you dan-e, the British government also has the heads so far up america’s arse they can see day-light and i hate it why can’t hust one country in the west actualy disagree with america. Personaly i think it is because in some way or another they are scared of being bombed or shot to shit by america. I also agry that everything on T.V. in Britain is american some of i don’t mind but most of it i completely dispise it. I also can not stand the US military and their gung-ho atitude, not long ago i was talking to some US airforce guys or what ever they are called, and every word that came out of there dirty mouths i hated, about how the British army was so useless. Just because we aren’t blowing up every last moving thing they see. Aside from the us military, well slightly aside, i am also scared of the us government reading this and kid napping me in my sleep and im on the other side of a fucking ocean. I also realy hate it when the americans say ”we saved your arse in world war 2.” That may well be true but for fuck sake thats not going to last for ever no one realy knows if the nazis would of won with out americas help after all russia were managed on the eastern front with out americas help. Enough of the history lesson though. I HATE YOU AMERICA!!!
March 6, 2009 at 6:38 pm |
I served along side Brits in Iraq and I must say they were far from usless. As a matter of fact hearing this from you makes me sick. All of the British troops I met over there never said a word of anything negative to me about anything. But then again they were actually doing something over there unlike you pussys sitting at home on your computers. I actually really liked working with the British and have nothing but respect for them. And the Netherlands LOL!!! you just need to sit back and shut the hell up like your country always has, just sit back and watch it’ll be ok.
Ryan Preston go to Canada you should love it!
Rebecca you ARE sobering and depressing I bet you voted for Obama right?
March 6, 2009 at 6:51 pm |
P.S. Australia needs to get some of there own shows, guess they must not have any worth a shit if all you guys do is watch ours. And don’t hate so much it’s ugly and it makes you look jealous, thats not the case is it?.
March 6, 2009 at 7:05 pm |
jelena my love, where is Serbia I can’t seem to find it on a map?
March 7, 2009 at 4:16 pm |
Jon i only fucking well sit here at my computer because im to young to join the army and ill have you no i want to join the British army so shut the fuck up!! And what country are you from anyway?
March 7, 2009 at 4:17 pm |
oh yeah america sorry.
March 8, 2009 at 10:52 am |
Ok i don’t hate america as much as i put across, i just hate the stereo type of an american and the people that are that stereo type. Saying i hate all americans is just plain racism and i am not a racist but i can’t be arsed to put anything else on this blog so hav fun.
March 10, 2009 at 5:11 pm |
I love the USA USA USA …. Nickelback on the other hand are Canadian I think… as is Celine Dion!!!! Q.E.D. Canada sucks?
March 16, 2009 at 5:22 am |
Notice how typically dumbshit your average yankee retard is? Out of all of these posters I think we have only 1 intelligent american contributing. But that’s always been the case in america, and thats why intelligent POOR americans are without hope. You other dopey-assed morons scream USA! USA! USA!!, wave your little flags in the air while your own government gags your right to “free speech”, locks you in prison for smoking some pot or speaking out against them, and leaves you no future aside from either getting fat or joining the military in pointless wars which further oppress every poor man in resource-rich countries abroad. And you love them for it.
Well I love them for sending you to fight, only to get horribly mauled by IED’s and torn apart by sniper fire in your self-righteous crusade for… hm, not sure? Er… preventing a few planes from crashing into a few buildings?
You dumb fucks.
Why is it that everyone hates americans again?
March 18, 2009 at 11:29 am |
Oh Dan throw another shrimp on the barbie and go beat your wife some more. Your obviously a liberal and everyone knows that your all about promotion of the poor, get on your pitty wagon and cruse that shit somewhere else. You make yourself sound stupid with this “Well I love them for sending you to fight, only to get horribly mauled by IED’s and torn apart by sniper fire ” Alot of fine ladies and gents have given there lives for this cause but thats all fine though I would expect it from someone who gives nothing to the world let alone your own country such as yourself. By the way we took the fight to them so it is not fought on our own soil. Ya thats called the smart thing to do stupid.
March 23, 2009 at 11:54 pm |
Jon, I’m sorry but there are only 2 reasons we ‘took the fight to them’. the first is oil and the second ties directly into the first. the government wanted a foot hold in the region for the oil. It has nothing to do with our soil or theirs. Our government brought down the twin towers. Those buildings were a perfect example of large scale demolition. Look up Las Vegas casino demolition footage and then watch the twin towers. You will see. Its sickening. Maybe its just crazy conspiracy theory but too many truths are being hidden under lies and deceit. If we don’t figure our way out of the fog soon, it may be too late for our freedoms to remain tangible… even worse Jon, what are we really doing to the rest of the world? Step outside of the country for a second and look at the facts from a neutral foothold. Doesn’t everyone hate the neighbor with floodlights shining through every window of your house all night long? I bet the neighbor doesn’t think he’s causing an irritation for anyone. He doesn’t think. All he cares about is himself and his family, which is great but there are better ways to go about things than blasting everyone else with bright lights constantly. We can’t be that guy. Don’t be that guy Jon. That guy sucks.
March 25, 2009 at 11:26 pm |
yes i hate america AND I WILL NUKE THAT SHI T OF THE MAP FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE TO THE VIETNAMESE/IRAQ/ AFGAN innocent people i will do whatever it takes to awaken the sad sheep masses from their imbecile slumber and expose with what the true american govt. agenda is.

hahaha, quote “Jon”:
[ Alot of fine ladies and gents have given there lives for this cause but thats all fine]
Me: ? er… it’s a bad thing that their dead, and yet it’s all fine? hahaha
You dumb fuck. For a start, what cause? Suckling on your governments anti-terrorism hate-speak? A few thousand americans died on 9/11. Over 100, 000 Iraqi CIVILIANS are now dead. Official militant death tolls are strangely ‘unknown’. Yeah, your country is doing the ’smart’ thing alright, slaughtering tens of thousands civilians (including a few thousand of your own, for the sake of getting dumb fucks like you behind another greed-war) from afar while the rest of the world watches in disgust at the true downfall of a nation utterly reliant on cheap/stolen barrels of oil.
You say I sound stupid? Well I can spell the word “cruise”, you can’t. You’re so up-to-date with the rest of the world that you tell me to “throw another shrimp on the barbie” hahahaha you back-world redneck, that was part of a tourism campaign over 25 FUCKING YEARS AGO, aimed at middle-class americans after Crocodile Dundee had success in america (god knows why, but people like you will watch anything I guess…). Don’t you have a rifle to polish or something? No fuck it, go and watch some TV – it’s obviously keeping you intelligent and up-to-date. It scares me that people like you are allowed to breed. I recommend joining the american armed forces, they love guys like you! Another passionate patriotic brainwashed middle-class boy to die in another oil-war.
You represent every reason I am happy to watch americans die. And one day the war will be brought to your soil. The question is, who the fuck is going to defend you when half the planet would prefer you dead?
Think about that the next time you salute a dead american soldier. (or should I say, “american terrorist”).

dan-e, just curious about something. Without insults or scorn, what is your discription of an american? I realize that this might be hard because you have such a low opinion; however, could you please express this in a civil manner for me? I’d rather have a conversation than a screaming match. For example, if I were to do the same about what the media here makes an Austrailian out to be (most certainly far from the truth) I would say easy going, likes beer, grills a lot (ha ha…), has a really cool accent, brawly, friendly, outdoorsy, educated, slightly wary of outsiders and reluctant to trust them into society… that’s about it. I’ve never met an austrailian, never been there and only see what’s on the TV. I’ve always wanted to go but it costs about 3,000 US dollars a person. I’d have to save for about 3 years. I’m just interested in the actual stereo types you have when you aren’t being prodded by an imbecile. Hopefully I’m not coming across as one.

Well I can’t describe an american, everyone is somewhat different. I have very different stereotypes between black, white, jewish & christian americans for example, and of course they are not identical within any demographic. But the general trend in sub-human qualities that cross most of these borders would have to include: Geographic ignorance of social/political trends anywhere outside of the american continent, especially outside of the ‘western’ nations, a chronically imbalanced sense of ethics/morals inside & outside your homeland (tainted by everything from US government propaganda to 7th-day adventist christian beliefs), a self-righteous belief in americans right to power/dominance & existence with a fundamentally ‘white-washed’ half-understanding of where you have come from historically including defining events in americas history (especially where the truth is ugly).
These are not built-in flaws, they are symptomatic of the social climate in america. These trends pop up all the time throughout history (The Holy Crusades, Imperialism, Nazi Germany etc.) which is one reason I am so dispassionate with the modern american. This information is not an epiphanic moment of enlightenment; it’s on Wikipedia for f*cks sake. I just don’t understand how (the most part) of an entire nation of people can become so stubbornly ignorant of what is happening now & who they are & what they represent, especially given national misdeeds that have ocurred throughout the last 150 years (much less the last 30 years). There’s still americans dying of agent-orange for christ-sake; much less the 400,000 vietnamese civilians who took a coating of it, and their 500,000 malformed children. Don’t even get me started on napalm & flechettes. What the hell have americans learned from all this? Doesn’t seem like much at all…
Fuck national pride, I don’t define myself by being an Australian, I define myself by what I have done, can and will do with my life. And I’m least interested in aiding those who are already on their feet when most of the worlds population is not. Doesn’t that make sense? I think that’s a reasonable expectation (requiremment even?) of somebody living in a post-industrial wealthy western nation. And I just don’t see that coming from most americans; I see the fattest people in the world, I see a fast-food tv-watching world-of-warcraft playing nation of do-nothinger’s. Sit around while your own administration plunders & murders the poor, destroys the environment, and sets YOU up for a fall (9/11, Vietnam, the prison system, Afghanistan, the credit crisis, pollution, soon-to-be pakistan, fast-food, fossil-fuel, nuclear weapons, cheap drugs) – the list goes on and on. And if you want to go back in time there’s a whole bunch more to talk about.
That’s enough to make me want to get of my ass and do something about it. e.g. Why didn’t anyone ever take a shot at George W? I don’t understand that. They shot JFK; Bush is a lot worse. Sniper rifles can kill from 2kms’ away, and it’s not like american civilians are short of guns. Why didn’t anyone stand up to that usurping murderer and make an example of him? Think of what could have been saved; you’ve now lost more soldiers than people were killed in the 9/11 attacks, you’ve hardened many nations against you & used up plenty of goodwill, you’ve got an economic crisis, and you will NEVER succeed in Iraq and probably not in Afghanistan either. Nobody ever has; plenty have tried. And by not making an example of him you’ve set a dangerous politcal precedent that you are a nation who will potentially put up with another bumbling incompetent leader who was never legitimately elected in the first place. That’s scary. I’d give my life to prevent that, purely for the greater good.
Perhaps I just can’t forgive those who don’t appreciate & use what they have; hence the whole deserving-of-death thing. What right does a person have to co-exist and take without giving? I think, none. And I see a whole lot of taking in americans, and not a lot of giving.

I am not exactly proud to be an American at this exact point in history. However, I was born here, raised here, and it is my home. We do not have a choice to what nationality we were born into, so it is only human nature to defend our home. Anybody contributing to this blog would do the same where their home is concerned.
One thing I can’t understand is why Rebecca cares so much what a few people around the world think of her as an American (And Rebecca, how ridiculous that you think our government brought down the twin towers). Our twin towers were brought down by the same hatred spouted by most of the bloggers contributing to the discussion. I wish people like you would get the hell out. The only disgust I have for people is for American’s like you.
The fact is, if China were the world super-power, this blog would be about why you hate China. If Russia were the world super-power this blog would be about why you hate Russia. To say you hate all Americans is reallly ironic, considering you are guilty of the very thing this blog accusess most Americans of.
This blog reminds me of the boss who only recognizes employees when they do something bad… sure America has messed up in the past 8 years. But what about the last 200 years? Here are some of America’s contributions to the world that should be noted:
- Telegraph
- Steamboat
- First Oil Well drilled
- Telephone
- Phonograph
- Light bulb
- Gas powered car
- Air conditioning
- Flight
- Television
- Computer
- Internet
- Open heart surgery
- Polio vaccine
And much much more. If it weren’t for America you would be sitting in the dark (or by candle-light), and there would be no such thing as a TV, Computer, or Internet to give you the ability to globally communicate your hatred of America.
Hate America, love America. It is what it is. If you live here, we have to make the best of it just like everybody else living in different parts of the world. If you don’t live here… why, continue to make your generalizations if you must. Was is not Hitler who hated based on generalizations that led to a world war? At the end of the day, we are human just like you are human. I will not apologize for being an American, nor will I give in to petty complaints (like our grammar and Matt Damon- for crying out loud the U.K. gave us Boy George).
I did not personally make the choice to invade other countries… I did not go to war… I am not obese… and I am definitely not lazy. I have struck up some great conversations with intelligent open-minded people from all over the world who I call friend because we chose to get to know each other first without absurd generalizations.

And regarding free health-care like the rest of the world, Rebecca… go to Canada to have a baby and compare your experience with that of an American hospital. I will gladly pay for health care out of pocket. There is something to be said of service and quality. You get what you pay for.

Gus – I am not trying to make open generalisations, if you look closely I have tried to qualify my statements where possible; and was invited to give a generalisation of external opinion of Americans, and I stated that I was giving opinion of ‘the general trend of sub-human qualities’, that is not to say that every american has them – but I haven’t encountered many that don’t. In fact, the only intelligent interaction I have had with americans has been on the internet – although you’re still looking at %95 dumbasses in this realm too.
Regarding the twin towers & 9/11. Gus, the math doesn’t add up. Do you know how much money your government puts into homeland security & defence? Every minute of every day you have many fighter jets in the air just waiting for shit like that to go down. Why didn’t they act? The DoD is well aware of anti-american sentiment coming from nations they have, well, exploited – particularly those nations with a reputation for acts of terrorism. At the end of the day either your military or your leaders did one of two things:
1. ‘Masterminded’ the attack / coverup / story.
- or -
2. Knew about it and just let it happen.
Number 1 is just plain ugly, but certainly possible – read on. The best-case scenario for an american civilian is number 2; if they found out too late it would be a bit of a pain (and a political shit-storm) to take out multiple civilian aircraft, killing hundreds of innocents. But this would be a better outcome (from your point of view) than what actually happened, right? So what is a leader to do? USE it. Let it happen, even if more innocent people die, the blame is shifted away from the government. Furthermore the inevitable outcry from the oh-so-patriotic american people will make the perfect spark for a blaze of propaganda to fuel another CRITICAL war-for-oil. Remember two things: Without oil, america stops dead in it’s tracks and collapses. And secondly, this was multiple civilian aircraft hijacked by a bunch of international militants supposedly armed with plastic knives. Where’s the black-box camera footage? Why didn’t passengers simply overpower the dozen or so terrorists? Who’s to say these so-called terrorists were related to afghanistan at all? All we know is what’s been on TV, (fuzzy footage of a scruffy afghan proudling saying ‘it was meeeee!!!’ – shit if they had asked more than half the world they would have claimed responsibility) and god knows George W & your DoD aint exactly truthful.
Anyway, thats a bit OT.
Yes america has made seemingly useful contributions to the world; but you need to think good and hard about what your listed contributions have really given the human race. For a start, most of the worlds population still hasn’t even experienced these most of these advances. Oil is a non-renewable polluting energy source which is now keeping western society fatter and lazier than ever before. TV is the primary tool for government propaganda and keeping the population pacified. Open-heart surgery just keeps people alive for a bit longer than what should have been the natural term of their life. And just like the others I have mentioned, these technologies primarily serve the already well-served in the western world. This is very much a minority of the worlds population.
In order to “feed” the beast of technological progress, america and the west in general conveniently ignore the troubles of the third world (even though we could solve most of them if the richest %10 of us donated %10 of our pay-packet). Not only are they ignored but often exploited for selfish purposes – look at some american foreign-policy, but have a bucket nearby because it might sicken you.
I have no pride for my country, I don’t have an ego, all I see is people and judge them by their altruistic morals and ethics. I’m apalled by some of the history and current state of my country, and I learn from it – I don’t pretend to ‘accept’ it and roll with it. However, in comparison america is a hell-hole of silly, proud people who choose to ignore their history, and as we can clearly observe from outside america, still haven’t learnt much and aren’t bothered by that. What americans really need is perspective, and to understand that you are the same damn people as those you are killing and oppressing all over the world. You’re no better. In fact, the population at large is de-evolving into incredibly un-enlightened pacified creatures.
I would say to have a fucking heart and stand up for the poor and oppressed. But sadly, you can’t even stand up to your own leaders. You could learn something from the average afghan or iraqi – head to guantanamo and ask around, you will be a changed person. Stay there for a year, and you will wish you were the one driving the plane into the towers.

Well, I AM American and I hate America with a passion .its a racist, no culture, ignorant, greedy, corporate, arrogant, anti-male trash hole. I want out of this place so badly. I am becoming desperate, I mean i really hate this place seriously. I always have. I dont fit in this place because people are too ignorant. I am American but I am not american. I feel no connection to this place at all. I feel like a foreigner in my own country and I hate it. I wish and want someone to take me away from this horrid place. I have to put up with harassment and mistreatment daily. Its like living in some damn prison country. People are just so full of hate and greed. there is no art or culture. Nothing but corporate garbage. I really want to go away from this place but feel trapped. I feel like i have no freedom and I aam forced to live in fear of being killed either by the police or criminals. Its like being in old Russia. Everything about America I later learned in life is a lie. i have more opportunities abroad and I have made more friends abroad. People who are intelligent and believe in the value of giving as opposed to always taking.

Well SickOfthisPlace and Bex I can empathise, but I can’t tell you exactly what to do – you need to have & maintain the motivation to do what you need to do. Perhaps that is to escape the country, perhaps it is to change the people. It is a long and disheartening journey and there is much to be undone, but there’s no easy way around it. Everything lasts as long as it is ingrained for, and it can take generations to change – the question is – does it have to change?
I think the pace of technological & scientific advance is utterly outstripping societies ability to cope with it; laws aren’t changing fast enough, social systems aren’t keeping pace, religion is still grasping at barely-relevant straws, authority is becoming more centralised and inherently more powerful and overbearing, the gap between rich and poor is greater than ever in human history, and we are killing the planet and all that inhabits it. Sometimes I think what would immediately be best (but impractical) is a massive decrease in human population on an evenly distributed ratio. But how is that possible? Convince people that they *don’t* have an inherent right to reproduce? I think the only practical response as an individual is to really think *objectively* and critically upon our actions/beliefs & their real consequences, then take real responsibility for said actions/thoughts, and be willing to promote this psychology wherever possible, with a final step in this cycle which is LEARNING. Learning more about what truly is the right way & wrong way and how best to make it happen. When learning stops, everything else is useless.
This is called enlightenment. It often crosses borders of spirituality, religious beliefs, intelligence, morality and ultimately your everyday actions. There’s no book on it and no-one can teach you but yourself. What we have now is voluntary pacification & declination. I guess another way to look at it is whether or not you believe in fate? If you believe in fate, then it goes to say that one action begets the next. If you don’t believe in fate, then you inherently believe in free-will which results in the same equation. Action, reaction. The action part is the choice, the reaction part is what you learn from to better make future choices. Think about your actions and choose your fate or free-will. Thus determining the larger fate of all.
Now perhaps you can see why I wish death upon those who choose not to critically analyse their actions or choose to refuse to learn & change. They seemingly aren’t deserving of life and it’s spoils.
I think this could be the root of why many people dislike americans? They are largely perceived as being guilty of this.
Man, this blog starting to get deeeeeeep.

Just thought I would liven the mood a bit. But,seriousely,everyone. I love my country. I hope you love yours too. I don’t like all of the MTV and celebrity worship either. I don’t like that my government is corrupt. I don’t like the fast food undustry. I don’t like how Wal Mart destroys small business. I don’t like that the police are abusive and send you to a hell hole just for smoking some pot. There are so many things that I don’t like about America. But those things are not the fabric of America. The bad aspects come with human nature, greed, and corruption. That is everywhere in the world. Not just my nation.
America started as a dream. A few people not wanting to be governed by someone else across the ocean. A few people stood up for what they believed in and earned thier right to be thier own land. Some had guns but most of them faught with what they could find. Pitchforks,Shovels,Axes, even thier own two hands. Thier spirit, the American spirit, drove back the world’s super power of the time. As the saying went back then,”The sun never sets on the British Empire.”
My country is beautiful. I wish you guys in the east would come and see it some time. The Rocky Mountains, The Grand Canyon, The Redwood Forest. I love this land and I will help defend it with my dying breath. I wish I could come and see your nations as well but I think I might be beaten to death over there for being an American.
Yes, 9/11 shook us up. Times are strange and things are getting tough. But this is my home and I’m not going to abandon it just because we have hit some hard times. We the people will stand together with our burning American spirit and we will take back our beloved country.
For the people. By the people.

America is a place where a lot of dumb people live unashamedly proud of themselves for being dumb@$$es. Racist and arrogant nation.
July 4, 2009 at 10:54 pm |
really? do you really think you are better than any other? really? those of us that are searching are searching…those of us that judge are judging. hate breeds itself in your mind. hating ‘america’ is not helping your country or any other.

My husband and I are moving out of America soon and I’m glad to see it go, I’m sick of all the bullshit here. My husband served in the military and would gladly give the finger to them as we’re flying out of this hell hole.
November 6, 2009 at 8:47 am |
I am an American! HATE ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MUUUAAAHHHHAAAHHHAAA!!!!!!!! I am the devil! (is that what you wanted to hear?)
