I started reading this article; and then I found that I really don’t care why they hate us. What’s more, I don’t really feel like putting in the effort to find out, so I didn’t bother to finish it. What would be the point? Everything we do, every move we make seems to anger someone. The Europeans are acting like a bunch of petulant, spoiled, demanding children. Nothing would please them except our total collapse.
All I know is that I love my country; and I am tired of the criticism. I am tired of us having to be all things to all people. I am tired of America having to be the babysitter, the referee, the peacemaker, and the provider. We are best example of what a nation should be; and deserve a little respect and appreciation for our efforts.
I have vacationed in America and felt as though it was my version of home,The people are so friendly.They do not spend all their time watching sports, when they get married they take it seriously and they are so polite compared to some Brits i know.
Although Americas health care is pricey if it wasn't for them i would probably be seriously ill still.Yes NHS does have its faults but I've had to wait 4 hours in a waiting room just for a twisted ankle.
So in conclusion not all European/British people hate the US just the rich snobby ones do :)
P.S I'm not anti Jewish,In fact my grandfather was raised by them even though he wasn't Jewish .
