why do people hate americans...?

you make a valid point!

We don't hate American as awhole nation or nationality .I myself find many faults in history committed by America . But I cannot blame the whole nationality for that and for good . America has been doing many good to the whole world in many forms . I don't think Americans are not harmed by the present global environment . They are also sufferers and we should not be jealous of them .And hatred is never good .

I wouldn't say that poeple hate americans. But I can give a couple of reasons why people dislike the country (bacuase of what it has done). For example invading Iraq..(oil). They made evidence of WMD's and had none. However, Korea have some, and have proven it, but won't do anythig about it. The reason is Korea doesn't have oil!! Pretty obvious. Another reason.. Cutting down the use of harmful substances.. The US has no interest in doing this!! IT costs too much. To me that is insane. Me eed to look after the planet surely? We only have one. There is also a lot of people(american celebs which are seen throughout the world) which have the most bizzare life style and beliefs. For example Tom Cruise. THe guy is a nut. Unfortunatley because of all these things poeple get a very general view of americans and can see many reasons to not like them. Unfortunatley noone is there saying.. Hey! Look what us americans have done for you! Apart from cahnnel 5 in the UK!

It isn't the average American's fault that the corporations do these things. I have heard many american speak out against big-business but if there is no money involved.... big business doesn't listen.

I don't think it's the Americans taking over. I think it's the Mexican's, Japanese and Iranians. Come to America and see who runs our gas stations, fast food places, car repair places, etc

arrogant? Americans?? No way! Just because our government thinks we own the whole universe, (including outer space) believes we are the only country that should have weapons, and takes advantage of everyone and everything it can?

That is what i am saying buddy Just because of a bunch of people noone can blame Every US citizen!

They aren't poking their noses, their government is. The people can not stop this from happening.

Jealousy is an destructive emotion. I remember one guy who worked in the same place I did. He worked in the tool room, and I worked in the Personnel Office. He was so jealous because we had an old coffee pot in our office and other departments didn't have one. He threw fits, complained, and finally filed a grievance. The result? We had to get rid of our coffee pot. So what exactly had he succeeded in accomplishing? People are so petty.

That is a beautiful sentiment. I am not American but when I was in Prague I felt the need to defend americans because I was teaching and my students said stuff. I told them that the people can not control the government and what it does.... anymore than they can control theirs. When they said that all americans are rich.... I brought them poverty reports and we compared it against theirs.... wouldn't you know it? America had more. (Yes we adjusted for population difference.) Anyway I told them they shouldn't hate based on that because that is founded on jealousy alone anyway. Jealousy is unbecomming.

goooon asw

Again i dont think any muslims hates americans its just the policies,,and politics.

You are right home.

When I went to america before my english was good. People were very nice to me and wanted to help. I didn't find rude people there. They were very patient.

USA not only place to use SUVs. Europe has them too and uses plenty of gas.

Oh boy... Let me, as an American, assure you that we are NOT all rich. People starve and die on the streets every day in the US because our government is entirely too worried about what's going on anywhere else but here. People suffer and die every single day because health care in this country is an absolute disaster and millions of people who do not have any insurance cannot get the care they need. I personally barely scrape by, despite having full time employment. I am certainly not the only one who lives paycheck to paycheck; the reality is a very large number of Americans are FAR from rich and are doing all they can just to have something to eat every day. I don't mean to sound hostile, but it is simply not true that we're all living the lap of luxury.

Good that we share the same point of view. Both of us not americans so people can listen to us.

Americans aren't just one race. There are many different types of people from many different countries that live there. I used to live there for 10 years but I was not a american. There were many of us there on residency permits and from varied countries. There is no one single race or type of american so that is not true.
