So, all you non-US citizens, how much do you hate us? A lot? A little? None? Decide on a scale of 1-10.

Again?

I hate America because I am a Jewish-Liberal-Atheist-Muslim-Communist. :)

Hate is too strong a word; it implies emotional investment in the matter. While I certainly have a disagreement with several of the social and military policies of the United States, I wouldn't call it enough to make me hate the country. Casual disdain does the job just fine, and doesn't leave room for an "everybody hates us" mentality to sprout up. And I know all about that kind of sentiment, because I'm a Leafs fan.

Note to self: Don't go the Al Sharpton's house for pancakes.

Queue whiny tirades about how the United States is the worst country on the planet due to corrupt practices demonstrated by virtually every western nation on the planet (i.e. supporting and doing business with hostile dictators because it suits our interests, initiating warfare for our self-interest, etc.)

Make up your mind already will you.

The thread title says America and the poll title says US but the poll items say America

Meh

I don't hate America at all. I live there in Rio Grande do Sul.

I actually don't have any emotional reaction to the US whatsoever. I simply ignore it most of the time, rather like Latvia I suppose.

You know what? If you were in front of me, I'd slap you.

Cue LG making a witty comment about the poll options.

Where's the 'I love cake!' poll option?

*winks at GM*

I love the USA. They're just uptight enough to need me and just loose enough to not have me killed or imprisoned. :)

America isn't as bad a nation as everyone claims, at the same time, it is very hypocritical and always seems to be behind the curve on certain things.

I'd prefer living in Canada or Yurope but I like America, save the patriots "GAWD BLESS AMMURRICHA" and the corporations.

You know what? If you were in front of me, I'd slap you.

So you made a thread to solicit opinions that upset you? good wan.

So you try to resolve your confusion with physical violence?

It's your problem, not mine, that you don't know what you are talking, or in this case, posting about.

Is it America or the US?

well depends where abouts in the US, but a whole lot are stupid and arrogant, and have a general disregard for the rest of the world.

I'd call it a superiority complex.

Look at every other nation since the fall of the Soviet Union, there has been no other Super Power except for the USA, give any nation that much power and before long they will act as the USA acts now.

I'd really prefer if we went into the "Don't touch, don't hurt." mentality we had in the early 1900's.

America isnt perfect. But it will always beat the pants of dictatorships, anarchies, communism and to a lesser extent the leftist European countries

No it wouldn't, they would all kick America's political ass if they functioned correctly.

Communism suffers from human greed.
Dictatorship suffers from human power-lust.
Anarchy suffers from human need to control.

So, all you non-US citizens, how much do you hate us? A lot? A little? None? Decide on a scale of 1-10.

Where's the option for "I like my country but I don't like its current policies?"

Done to death. Please do a search.
