they would surely conclude that Earthlings are united only in their disdain for the United States.

And Israel. Israel and the US, Siamese twins who are the object of most of the world's envy and hatred.

[nuke_road_warrior]

Let's see... If everyone hates us so much; we should withdraw all our troops form all over the world; close our borders to immigration (no one would want to come to a country they hate); refuse to defend Europe, Korea, Israel, etc; and quit buying foreign goods, after all none of our detractors would want to accept filthy Yankee Dollars.

Oh yeah, fantasy mode off.

[bikepacker67]

Screw 'em.

They need us more than we need them.

And frankly this Great Country is blessed with enough varied terrain and inspiring landscapes that I can't see reason one, why I should travel beyond it's "Sea to Shining Sea".

The insanely jealous Mr. Thomas hoists Bush on his petard and then says Kerry will be no better. I've got news for Mr.Thomas...if Kerry wins we're all finished.

The poor hate the rich. The evil hate the good. The ignorant hate the educated.

And the world hates Americans.

And always will. Envy is human nature.

[RichInOC]

Disdain implies contempt for the disdained as someone or something inferior. The world may be united in hate against us, but not in disdain, because by most objective measures, we are better than they are.

If I don't care what France, Germany, Russia, et al think, then why should I care about what some extra-terrestrial from another galaxy thinks?

[tbpiper]

Oh my God! We've lost the good will of France and now New Zealand! What will we do without their....without their...whithout their whatever-it-is they supply?

[Looking4Truth]

From South Park: "America kicks the ass of every other country."

In every way, I might add.

BTTT

All I know is that all this hate is going to have consequences down the road. Real consequences for all of us. Eventially perception becomes reality if left unchecked.

[Cogadh na Sith]

Cool.

Can we start killing them now?

[fish hawk]

Nobody likes a winner. Especially one that stays at the top. Isn't that how the play "Damn Yankees" came about. They always win and have for years and get little love for it. (except their own fans of course) So let them hate us, we laugh all the way to the bank....wait!!! we are the bank!!

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

I'm not a psychoanalyst, but it seems to me the Rest of the World™ has a rip-roaring inferiority complex.

[CPOSharky]

Yeah, but they love our money.

Paul Thomas is an idiot.

"Political Science"

by: Randy Newman

No one likes us-I don't know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one and see what happens

We give them money-but are they grateful?
No, they're spiteful and they're hateful
They don't respect us-so let's surprise them
We'll drop the big one and pulverize them

Asia's crowded and Europe's too old
Africa is far too hot
And Canada's too cold
And South America stole our name
Let's drop the big one
There'll be no one left to blame us

We'll save Australia
Don't wanna hurt no kangaroo
We'll build an All American amusement park there
They got surfin', too

Boom goes London and boom Paree
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it will be
We'll set everybody free
You'll wear a Japanese kimono
And there'll be Italian shoes for me

They all hate us anyhow
So let's drop the big one now
Let's drop the big one now

[BluH2o]

Remember fellow FReepers we're talking NZ here ... they're even further left than our neighbor to the north. Australia is allied with us ... and Kiwi's next to their disdain for the U.S. hold Aussies in equal contempt. But for different reasons ...

[Porterville]

I'm all for a global government- as long as the United States runs it.
