+277 Most countries don't actually like America. They just pretend they do for all the benefits: status, money, aid, not being blown up... amirite?

That's kinda sad :( America used to be the land of dreams. People from all over the world came here for a better life. Now everyone looks at it as a country full of fat, stupid, uneducated hicks.

Very true. America was a great country in the 20th century - it was the first country where people could actually fulfill their dreams and find a better life. It truly was fantastic. But how could anyone take this country seriously now? Seriously, the international community sees a senseless war, people like Trump and Palin as serious candidates for office (REALLY?!), and infantile debates over things like Planned Parenthood to block the entire government's budget. Oh, I forgot - the birth certificate and pictures of bin Laden. America needs to get its shit together. That, and it needs to wake up and realize that 'empires' always fall, and America can still be a great country even if it is *gasp* number TWO.

I think this could be viewed in the opposite way. Most countries don't pretend to like us. They pretend to hate us. It's a popular thing to do right now. "Stupid Americans." From online conversations I've read, a lot of them are indifferent. (They don't like it when we act like we're the best, though). Yes, they look at us as a country of "fat, stupid, uneducated hicks," but most people are fully aware that these are only stereotypes, but bashing on Americans is like a fun pastime or something for some people.

It bothers me when people say they hate america. like it or not, the US really is the best country in the world. even if we're going through some economic struggles. every country is.

Yeah but America is the cause of the economic struggles that the world is in.

Because all of the countries rely on America one way or another, believe it or not. That's why when the depression happened, America's economy fell first and all the others followed.
