    There's a big world out there, don't believe we're all watching "your" movies.

    I don't think I own a single product that's "Made in the USA".

    I don't hate America. :) I think it's stupid to say you hate America, just because you don't agree with American politicians or anything else.

    Some of us are just amazed at what you're letting your government get away with.

    I don't hate America. I don't hate Americans. But I do have a few opinions about the government that represents you.

    No I'm not buying 'your stuff'.

    Linus is Finnish, and Linux is open source. And what makes you think I eat American food?

    w3bmaster said it all.

    Wow intelligent thread :D

    Why this perception with the americans that the whole world hates you ?

    I love US and defend US way of life and sometimes even US politics in every debate with "my own" people who are brainwashed with all anti-american propaganda here.

    The same is with you americans. You are brainwashed and big percentage of americans think that the whole world hates you. This may be because you don't get out much or what ? :D

    we don't hate american, but they are the "biggest" country and we want to take america as an example for us, but we keep saying that we hate america to know very well your bad parts, and to prevent making the same mistakes.

    I think if more Americans travelled (and not just to the east or west coast!), they'd be shocked at what the world thinks of them.

    The global reputation of the United States is going down the crapper, and it's unfair to the American public (the one's that aren't asleep).

    Is this an attempt to be controversial to get more adsense clicks with revenue sharing or something? Lots of assumptions mate! For one, I don't buy many (if any) USA made products. And secondly, it's your perception that everyone hates Americans, I don't think it's the case in the real world.

    A lot of the US products are "made" (manufactured) overseas.
