You mean the majority of angst ridden American teenagers that happen to be using their microphone are dickheads. That's not exactly a great way to determine if an entire nation is nice or not.Madaxeman101 said:

I'm American, so no. And really, what's the difference between hating a bunch of people for something they can't help (being born Americans) and hating a different bunch of people for something they can't help (being born a different color?)
Basically what I'm asking is what's the difference between people who hate all Americans and people who are racist? Is it somehow less wrong? People can't help where they're born.

i know as a country we are not all saints. but it seems we are being lumped into one group and hated in mass. which is weird cause anyone who has traveled the US will tell you that its so diverse from state to state its kinda hard to hate us all for the same reasons. there are the ultra so called "patriotic" southerners who listen to country music like guns and are very conservative and there are also the ultra anti government californian hippies who dont eat meat smoke weed and are very liberal. these 2 oposites are both americans. can you hate both? or do you side with one? i dont understand how the world hates us as a whole.
I don't hate "Americans". I condemn stupidity, and consistently stupid people.
Unfortunately for the people of America, and indeed, of every other country, there are stupid people included in the set of people "Americans" or whatever other country we're discussing.
It's all math.
P(S) = Probability of a stupid person.
P(A) = Probability of an American.
P(SA) = Probability of a stupid person who is American.
P(SA) = P(S) [binary AND] P(A)
As we add more people, both P(S) and P(A) increase, so therefore too does P(SA).
When the set of people is in the millions, or billions, as it is on Earth, P(SA) will be 1.
You can be sure that it's also going to be true for any given country, not just America.
I'm Aussie, and I loathe many Australians.
It's all probability and set theory.

hate americans...yes...some.. but i always get the feeling that those some somehow have the majority.
for example the underpaid retarded people at the customs of the airfield, they hold every damn foreigner, and begin to register name,residence,fingerprint and a picture (ehm hint yanks passport?)
plus they are just plain rude like i am some terrorist who is going to blow them all up...
actually americans are pretty ok as long as you filter out the idiots,fanatics etc.

Hmmm, just because Yahtzee made a jab at US foreign policy he's suddenly anti-American? Well, I guess he does hate all of THE PEOPLE WHO HIRED HIM.US Crash Fire said:
I don't hate Americans, hating a group of people is shallow and narrow-minded. I make a point of getting to know a person before I pass judgment.
Now, American politicians on the other hand...
As individuals no, but as a country, I don't see why the bloody hell not.
Forced us to get into war with the middle east.
Caused the recession.

Individuals I have no problems with. However for some reason it all seems to be fraying at the edges over there and nobody seems to want to do a proper job and finish things to the end. Not to mention that each greedy president doesn't care what's going to happen in 10 years time since it's not his or her problem anymore.fwddgs said:The hawkish, the religious that attempt to impose their religion on others... and the previous administration.
The rest of you guys are all awesome!
I'm an American and it doesn't make sense to hate an entire nation of individuals due to a stereotype. I understand where people come from on like XBOX live and stuff but the "stupid egotistical Americans" usually results from the peer pressure of trying to sound cool infront of your friends...which is dumb but don't count out an entire people of being stupid and egotistical from the summary of the summary of a nation of people, because that's almost always wrong.
I admit being the biggest racist when it comes to Americans. I do in a fact hate most of them. The only Americans I like are the ones I find on my favorite forums. I do have a few American friends (Incidentally my best friends) but they are all joking on japanese culture so it is not the same.

i dont hate all of my own people, i hate the idiots that really need to not ruin it for the rest of us well intentioned people, but unfortunatly, they flock to fling names and insults at other countries out of ignorance, or they are just racists i dont know. -_-
i have no problems with the middle east, sure some of thier traditions will set me off, but its only the bad ones like beating women for speeking up or not wearing a face scarf, and beating them for taking it off, and possibly stoneing the girl to death
our politicians could be choosen a little more carefully, and bush shouldnt have been put in office. then again, we didnt exactly have a lot of good choices, kerry was nearly as bad.
as lewis black put it "it was like chooseing between two bowls of shit. the only differance is the smell"
the attack on afganistan was kinda justified, i mean, they were lead by teh organization that attacked us, of course we were going to stick their own feet in their bums and kick them off a cliff, who wouldnt, but i think bush just wanted to show off to daddy by attacking iraq, thou, saddam did need to go, in a fast kinda way, his sons too
blood hungry sadists that they were
