Hellion Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Anti-Americanism sentiment at record high, report finds
machine Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 First of all: WHO CARES? The people on this forum seem to have the attitude that says 'they are who they are and they do not care about what others think about them.' I say, what is so wrong with having this outlook on the rest of the world? We are doing our thing, and taking care of whats in our country's best interest... weather you like the way we are going about it is up to each American to decide, but there is no question that our actions now are being made for our future. In the actual report, it even says the following: "While the United States can’t base its foreign policies on opinion polling— either at home or abroad—this consistently negative view of U.S. foreign policy is both a liability and a sign that something has gone seriously awry...." If we start basing our foreign policy on OTHER (foreign) people's feelings, then we start to tear away at what this country was founded on, liberty and freedom. To change our foreign policy to make others happy with us is foolish and ignorant.
Hellion Posted June 12, 2008 Author Posted June 12, 2008 First of all this had nothing to do with me,this was a god damn article I found on yahoo that I came across! Its is what other countries think, Some "sheeple" seem to believe in the media, Fox News too muchbtw you don,t know everyone on here let alone me or my co workers.what ever false accusations you want to believe more power to ya,
machine Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 I never accused you of anything. I was pointing out that alot of people on here are quick to commend any post on here that makes the United States look bad, so I thought it best to beat them to the punch. And if I were you, I would also direct your comments about Fox News on the CBS, CNN, and NBC ... they are just as democratically charged as Fox is Republican.

Anybody with a good head on their shoulders can see that fox news is a media tool for those with money. A good example of their bullshit is their news articles on computer hackers known as "anonymous" that story was full of lies... i know... i'm one of anonymous and it aint no ganglike thing nor are we any computer hackers
tanuki1985 Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 It is a little alarming how many non-Americans view us. I met all kinds of international friends when I was in college (from China, UK, Australia, Portugal, Mexico, etc. etc.), and all of them basically said the same thing: In their country, Americans are perceived as arrogant know-it-alls. Kinda makes me scared to travel overseas.

Goth Brooks Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 In their country, Americans are perceived as arrogant know-it-alls. Kinda makes me scared to travel overseas. Compared to them, we are. We walk the walk, we have the right to talk the talk. It's jealousy. Some countries are jealous that they were never as powerful as we are and never will be, the others are jealous because their glory days are long long over. Look at france, portugal, and spain.

I only posted that link as an opinion deal,no biggie ,other than that I know several ppl that just like me that do not hate their country,but are very very pissed about the system and the Bush Administration I also never ever watch Fox news they sensationalize everything. PS sorry about the earlier retort,just been a bad week.
