Now, I'm Canadian, and I know that a lot of people dislike, even hate, the US. There are several things about the US that I really dislike and hate. But I've always wondered why people seem to view every single American in a bad way. Sure, the US has a lot of obnoxious, arrogant, self-centered, greedy, immoral people, especially in the government. But honestly, what country doesn't? Can any country claim to be perfect bastions of freedom, democracy, happiness, cute puppies and cute smiles on a baby's face? None. Each country has it's flaws. Is it maybe because the US is often set as a country to aspire to? Is it because it's one of the three most powerful countries on Earth? Is it because the Republicans and Democrats seem determined to tear the country in two apart because of their feud? What are your thoughts?
EDIT: I really hoped I didn't have to do this, but since people apparently can't possibly want to have discussions, I have to say this: THIS THREAD IS NOT TO MAKE AMERICANS ANGRY. IT IS NOT TO PROVOKE ARGUMENTS. IT IS NOT BECAUSE I WANT VALIDATION BECAUSE I HATE AMERICANS. I just want to know people's opinions. So stop posting comments about it that. Seriously. It's getting really annoying when people say that. I want to know if you hate or dislike Americans and why. That's all. Trolls who want arguments can go somewhere else.
