I know, I know, this is shocking. But there are people out there who are ANTI-AMERICAN. They want to fight against the current government-overthrow it even! These RADICALS are ready to destroy everything for NO REASON.
I say, we find them, and tar and feather the whole lot of them!
Crazy idiots, wanting to rebel against England...God save the Queen.

Many people are Anti-American for a simple reason. Ever since it became the worlds only superpower, it has (unintentionaly) pushed its culture across the world with either shear ammount of it or via millitary force on occation. People are angry that their cultures are put down and made weak by the "Americisation" of the world.

Anyone who posts Sex Pistols lyrics (anywhere - not just in response to Goed's post) should have their fingers removed.
Be patriotic - fight the government!

The Second Amendment was Created for Anti-Americans. So they "could" overthrow the Government.
I'm sorry, you don't like it, but blame the Founding Fathers they started the idea.

It's easy to be anti-american when you're too narrow minded to realise we're not all assholes.

wow, I've never seen a point fly that far up.
Look, I'm comparing the idiots today who see protesters and such as anti-american to the tories before the Revolutionary War.
...Catch on...yet?

of course I know that-Im american myself--I was directing that at Bush supporters
I only hate the government for its authoritarian policies and imperialism.

What she said. I can't generically despise anything, it's always a bit more specific than that. Same pet peeves as posted above.
On a personal level, anti-isms are a problem and a lot these days are centered around the american people and their institutions. This is wrong to be 'anti-american', 'anti-canadian', 'anti-british, and et cetera. When people post or say such subjective things, it shows their level of immaturity.
My two cents.

Most Americans have anti-Canadian tendencies.

I have noticed that even the usually way-too-laid-back-to-give-a-sh*t aussies have started saying "anti-australian"
I am just glad that anti-new-zealander is way too much effort to say and so will probly never take off.
they can always say, anti-kiwi.

Like I said in another thread it's always struck me as weird that the terms anti-British, anti-French, anti-German et al are almost exclusively used to refer to outsiders (eg the French are anti-British and the British are anti-French) wheras anti-American is used as much to refer to Americans as non Americans.
I didn't get a reply in the other thread so I'll ask the same question here, can any Americans suggest why this is?
