:rofl: at the US being one of the most hated inthe world

granted we arent liked but we are far from one of the most hated. there are plenty of countries throughout the world that thank the US daily for being there and plenty of people who hate on the US without thinking of the good they do for them or their country

people love to hate the one at the top

He wasn't even in a full month when he was nominated.

They are ready to support the USA even if for the past 8 years they have hated the USA.

He is trying to turn one of the most hated countries into a international leader not by force but by diplomatic talks. Obviously he has not proven himself with actions but there is not denying that the speeches he makes is to try to rally the countries together.
Wow, where do you get your news.

Most hated? Not highly liked I can agree with but not most hated by any stretch of the imagination.

As for Obama making headway with diplomacy :rofl: :rofl: Even France pissed on his shoes recently :rofl:

Actually I think you are the most hated. Sure the states do some good but that doesn't outweigh all the shit you've done. Your country will stop at nothing to make sure it's interests are protected. Stepping on some third world country ain't shit if you guys get something out of it.

The one at the top? This isn't the 50's anymore, America is far from being the best country in the world. Gotta stop believing everything Hollywood regurgitates into your head every time you see an action flick.

How are you at the top? Please enlighten me as to how you guys are the best?

Your country is 11.4 trillion dollars in debt and listed 13th in quality of life.
Doesn't sound like a country who's ''on top'' to me.

Only thing America is best at is entertainment.

I'm not saying your country is shit because it's not but I'm sick and tired of this ''we the best'' attitude most Americans have when clearly it's not true. If the recession doesn't prove this then I don't know what will. :dunno:

:flamesuit:
name one nation who's freedoms equal that of the US?

quality of life based on standards that dont reflect those of everyone ...

so you're telling me that the world hates the US more than Iran? more than north korea?

sure there are groups and nations that hate the US the most ... but from a majority viewpoint the US is hardly seen as the worst nation out there. There are still way more countries that consider us allies than enemies
