Why the world hates America:
1. They call themselves "America," ignoring the fact that 35 other nations share the continents called "America."
2. America goes all around the world invading countries and fighting in foreign wars, and the American people think they do this "to defend America."
3. 74% of Americans cannot find America on a globe.
4. 48% of American undergraduate university students thought that the country directly north of the USA was France.
5. America is at war in Iraq. 82% of Americans could not find Iraq on a map.
6. The American President Obama spoke on national television about the revolution in Egypt. 86% of Americans did not know that Egypt was in Africa, and thought it was in Europe.
7. The average American adult is 50 or more pounds above ideal body weight.
8. The average American eats fast food 5 or more times per week.
9. 58% of Americans did not know whom America fought in the American Revolution. Of that 58%, half said it was France.
10. When asked to name just 10 American states, a whopping 77% of Americans could not do it.
11. America imprisons more of its population, by percentage, than any other country in the world, including North Korea.
12. 89% of Americans could not name a single Supreme Court Justice.
13. Over 75% of Americans believe that America won the Vietnam War.

Yes, and 36 countries share them. Yet Americans believe they are the only Americans.

Also, my top ten reasons for hating america
10. Tipping at restaurants
9. The police are assholes
8. Americans are too serious and uptight
7. Rural, uneducated, blue collar morons are over-represented in the political arena
6. Americans are arrogant
5. Shitty healthcare
4. Americans have the worst education system in the industrialized world
3. Americans are over-opinionated
2. Americans are overly-religious
1. The drinking age is 21. What the fuck kind of stupid puritan bullshit is it when a 20 year old university student can't legally drink in a bar. A legal adult (who is legally able to buy firearms, buy pornography, buy tobacco products, enlist in the military, and VOTE) should be able to buy fucking liquor. Fucking MADD.

> 1. They call themselves "America," ignoring the fact that 35 other nations share the continent called "America."
America isn't a content, you stupid piece of shit. There is only North America and South America. > 2. America goes all around the world invading countries and fighting in foreign wars, and the American people think they do this "to defend America."
You do realise that the United Kingdom of Britain is guilty of the same thing, right? > 3. 74% of Americans cannot find America on a globe.
Because there is no such thing as "America". > 8. The average American eats fast food 5 or more times per week.
What the fuck? That is disgusting. Fast food is for travel ONLY. > 11. America imprisons more of its population, by percentage, than any other country in the world, including North Korea.
That's due to the bullshit drug war which needs to fucking stop. Besides, how many fucking negroes are in this nation again? > 12. 89% of Americans could not name a single Supreme Court Justice.
So? > 13. Over 75% of Americans believe that America won the Vietnam War.
We lost due to politics, not fighting power.

North and South America are both continents. Also, it's continent not "content" you 'stupid piece of shit'.

Why I hate being in the US:
1. Its government overtaxes its corporations, adds so many fucking labour laws, and then has the nerve to complain about manufacturing moving to China.
2. Its government overtaxes its citizens to pay for the mistakes of the banking and car industries as well as the mistakes of the lower-class citizens.
3. Its government thinks it is the world's nanny.
4. Its government wishes to abolish self-reliance and self-control through excessive laws regarding liberty and spending.
5. Its government.
Why I love the US:
1. Shit's cheap, yo.
2. We get much great working and nice Chinese and Mexican immigrants instead of smelly lazy turks like Europe.
3. We allow guns.
4. The White communities are some of the safest places on earth.

It is amusing to see how, when called out on their international sins, the reactions of Americans is to become anry, call you names, and cite Wikipedia.

They aren't really international sins, though.
I was thinking more along the lines of nuking Japan, killing ~200,000 civilians.

European young students: can name the great writers of history, have read their works, and could hold anintelligent conversation about their work, in three languages.
American young students: can name one person in the history of transgendered rights, and can say, "America is da best!"
