Question for foreigners? Is American hated (in general) where you live?

I have been in your country for three years now on student visa and i am happy for this experience. I cannot speak for every country, but in my country of Poland, we do not hate America or your people. In Poland, we dream to come and study in the United States, and we are happy that your country gives us this opportunity.

In Europe and the United States, there is a group of people, including journalists, and they like to hate on America and the American people. In my country we call them "radicals", and in your country you call them "liberals". Whatever you call them, these people always look for the worst in people. When I come to this country during my first week of school, I have a writing class as one of my subjects. The first topic that I write my paper on was on racism in America, the second topic was "bad American influence in the world", and the third paper i write was "why is America exceptionalism false"?

All of these papers are negative towards your country. And I cannot understand this, because people in my country dont feel this way about America. So, Im trying to say that sometimes its the "radicals" and as you call them "liberals" who create this picture that the entire world hates America. This is not true and most people are jealous of America and want to come here.

Just to let readers know: the above two posts are from the same nut job.

wow, thanks for that response, I would love to read your three papers. You know, you never know who to believe these days with the media being so one sided, some are saying we the most hated country in the world (in general). It's nice to hear from the people (the individual) instead of the media. thanks

Yeah.... you are not the smartest (u think) guy in the room my friend, get over yourself

Until recently the U.S. has always supported Poland, of course BOH hung them out to dry with missle defense, I hope they can forgive us, we'll have him back community organizing in 2 yrs.

I thought they were all in the UK?

Is there anyone left in Poland?

America is loved and admired around the world. But people across the globe hate the miniority of the people in the US who are Nazi-Zionists and want nazi-Zionism eradicated from the planet earth forever.

Ireland folk don't give a rat's ass about America. They don't like, nor dislike the country, they are for the most part indifferent.

I don't think that America is hated (in general) anywhere outside of the middle east. America is disliked by radicals or jealous people, that's about it.

"Yeah..." equals "Me Thinks" equals "The Real Uncle B". it is the same writing style as well as wordage (nazi zionist, etc). i have already left a message to a number provided by a link in the "Meet The Boss" thread to report suspicious activity and escalating tone in his posts over the last few weeks. i'm all for expressing opinions, and i'm not usually someone who would do this, but it is very concerning to me given his escalating tone.

America is kinda like the Ned Flanders character. Hated for no reason by most countries but America will be the first country to respond when you have a crisis.

Misplaced hate and bigotry.

This and the fact that your IP addresses match gave you away as the OP.

That is a very interesting point of view, and I think it has some legs. It makes a lot of sense. Foreigners don't hate America. Its the left in Europe and the USA that hates America. I have been in this country for 26 years and i didnt come up with that reason. Very interesting point of view.

Indifferent I'd say. I'm Canadian.

I had a teammate from Poland that I asked this question to. He said that the Polish thought Americans were dumb and lazy, had poor policies, and a terrible education system.

I then asked him if he would have an easier time finding a job in Poland with an American degree than with a degree from somewhere else. He said, "Yeah, that's what I don't get. Everyone makes fun of America and their education system, but if you come back with a degree from America, you're worth your weight in gold. Everyone dreams of having an American degree."

It seemed to me that there was a disconnect between perception and reality.

Hate is not correct but we do fear the US. First Reagan and later Bush 2 and now the Tea party types and the religious right baffle and scare most Brits.

How did you get his IP address? Letsrun by default doesn't show that does it?

Are you a letsrun.com mod?

Yeah, we know you Brits don't like American presidents, and who can blame you! http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ6wo5qpUsgpAWVxsxcYgLr6M71W_ZCYZQImOlfkt-9a8rqRJ0f

Same thing in the middle-east. They love our higher education but hate our foreign policy and leaders.

This is coming from a country that elected Maggie Thatcher as PM.
