Mia the fact that you are denying the racism & ignorance in this video -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-q4MDQ0cDI is truly mindblowing to me. It's like... how do you have a discussion with someone who just doesn't even live in the same reality as you do?
Here's a funnier spin. http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=168561&title=indecision-2008-west-virginia
Why do I hate America you ask? Because America stole my girlfriend away from me and owes me $40. If you can live with zero anger knowing that you're a better man than me.
9/11 was setup my their own government! They're one of the few countries who would buy a large burger, large fries and then a diet coke? But seriously - www.infowars.com is a great resource.
Gee, Obama loses West Virginia... The only conclusion? They must all be racist red necks... How then do we explain California? Are they racist red necks too...
Obama supporters have an excuse for everything... And if the excuse does not work, they start taking pop shots and calling grandma's crackers. The more I see or hear Obama the more I see and hear a racist, feminist out of touch democrat nut ball.
Or, there's reality. I've asked in good faith for you to defend your contentions with some kind of proof, and you simply ignore the requests, and then open another thread or post along the lines of the above. Who is employing excuses, again? C'mon, Jeremy. It doesn't go away. At least not as long as the above continues to be mounted.
Hate is a strong word for anyone to use. People that say such word about America,either do not know the meaning or believe they have been gravely offended by America. America has done a great deal of good service for this world,on the other hand, some aspects of its foreign policy has not made it service to be fully appreciated.
I have travelled to over 30 different foreign countries and have stood on most continents in the world. I can remember having very negative preconceptions of some countries before I traveled to them. Although, I must say that I always had those preconceptions dispelled by the relationships that I formed with the people whom I met in those countries. I am not any kind of special person,(Although I consider myself decent and reasonable...like us all..LOL!) but one comment that I always got was something like, "Wow, you are a good person and much different than I expected an American to be." You know most hate is "Blind" and between countries is created for one reason or another by the direct governmental political opinions that exist between the two countries...IE the propaganda devised by one government against another. I agree with most of the posters here that a country is made up of individual people who all face the exact same things in their lives from family issues to economic ones and is the same in every area of the world. In the movie "Pulp Fiction" John Travolta's character has just arrived back from Amsterdam and he tries to explain to Samuel L. Jackson's character what it was like. He says something like, "Well, it is the same, but different." Besides different acculturation factors we are all the same......just trying to survive and do the best by our loved ones! Here in the USA we are blessed to have a very high standard of living, but that doesn't make you a better human being, although it does create envy worldwide. (I think that this envy stems in part from many around the world thinking that we don't appreciate that blessing...but another post and story!)So in conclusion I would say that people hate America because their government does and of course this is stupid reason for them to!
The reality here is, the same people that hated us before Bush, still hate us.. Maybe just a little more however, given Bush actually has a foreign policy plan, unlike his predecessor who, like Bush, was also hated. There is no new hate out there folks. The same morons that hated America pre-Bush still hate us. And the same moonbats that were embarrassed to be Americans pre-Bush, are just as embarrassed... What's changed?
