I believe that the world hates america solely due to your big egos your loud brash manner and your brainwashed minds into thinking that you are number one.
Your media has alot to do with the false representation of what america is really like.
they paint a picture of little girls all holding hands going to spend a day at the mall all cutesy like reminds me of those ashley olsen twins another excuse to make an american dollar and your movies the amount of times they show your city scapes like please they aint that terrific.
They also show mummy and daddy in there perfect little neighbourhood with there perfect little neighbours and there white picket fences driving there perfect little cars like really sad what reality plane did yous all come off.
What they dont show is the amount of poverty there is the amount of homeless people there are.
The amount of crime that there is there.Kids shooting kids a murder every minute.

Your president Bush doesnt help the situation either they havent even found weapons of mass destruction the sole point of going into iraq was to go and find these damn things do all you americans have the same mentality or is it just another ego boost.
Also what attempts has Bush done to track Bin laden a big fat zero. bush goes on about stamping out terrorism and the king of terrorism still eludes him and also where is Saddam? huh
So before you all go on this trip of yours consider this. look in your own back yard before you look into others and criticise it cause the land of milk and honey is deteriorating rather rapidly.
Oh and the only thing your country has going for it is that thing they call the dollar which quite frankly is the only reason why the rest of the world likes you.
