WASHINGTON -- A poll by the Pew Research Center of 38,000 people in 44 countries has found a widespread surge of anti-Americanism around the globe, especially in Muslim countries.

Critical attitudes toward the United States were most prevalent in the Middle East, the poll found, and were more widespread in such allied nations as Canada, Germany and France than in the developing nations in Africa and Asia.

"Poll finds the world doesn't like U.S. very much"

Then they shouldn't object if we close our borders.

Screw the world, we need to quit paying these American Hating Countries with Money Grants and Loans that they don't intend to payback or even appreciate. Again I say screw the World, especially the Unappreciative French & Germans.

I wonder how "The World" wouold like us if we stopped protecting them, supplying them with food, supplying them with medicine, supplying them with technology, supplying them with weapons, supplying them with ______ (you fill in the blank).

Frankly, I wish the U.S. would tell "The World" to go eff themselves.

Hum... sounds like a great reason to...

-Pull out of the UN.
-Have them pay back the money we lent them.
-Close our borders.
-Nuke anyone who steps out of line.


In other news...

So what?
This is news?
What do you expect me to do about it?
There will always be envy in the world...

The biggest global problem is seen as the rapid spread of AIDS

With extremely rare exceptions only f**gs and heroin addicts get aids.

They lust after the trinkets, baubles and pretty lights..
They want what all thieves want
And they think like all thieves think..to hate the owner of the things they lust after and rationalize the crimes they have in mind

These types of stories are the kinds that Clymers thrive on. It feeds into their own self-loathing.

"The U.S-led war on terrorism is highly unpopular in Muslim countries..."

Too bad, so sad. Tell your "peaceful" bretheren that it's not nice to fly planes into our buildings.

All you need to know about this poll is that, as our local newspaper put it, "it was headed by former Sec'y of State Madeline Albright."

The most important poll is immigration. Maybe thats why the rest of the world has U.S. citizens climbing over, under and throught borders to avail themselves of the wonderful freedoms of all these other sh@t countries.

Fine. Then they can keep their immigrants the hell out and get their ugly faces out of the U.S. foreign aid trough.

...is creating the impression that the United States cares too much about its own goals and ignores what the rest of the world thinks,...

Sounds good to me. About damn time, don't you think? Maybe somebody's getting a clue out there...

Funny how "the world" thinks this is such a bad place, yet "the world" keeps coming here in droves, and has no problems accepting handouts from us. Why don't they just shut the hell up and take of their own problems?

I don't give a Rat's @ss about anybody but Americans, I guess the Aussies, Brits & Canadians are alright but I wouldn't spend a dime on anyone else. If I did I would expect a return on my investment. I don't believe countries like Egypt, North Korea & the Palestinians don't ever intend to pay us back. Unless of course they pay us back with a Bio Weapon or a Nuke.
