Anti-Americans

[revolution]

It's such a shame that so many Canadians are anti-American.

The Americans are our best friend in the world, they would be the first to help us and protect us in a time of crisis, but sadly our Canadian identity has become equated with hating America and Americans.

 

[CDNLaw]

Hate, maybe a strong word! Canadians don't "hate" Americans. T

They just believe there out of touch! LOL

You just don't get it do you. We love America, including the USA, some of our best friends are american, some of our closests relatives are american. But like many americans (1/2 almost), we do not like the policies of the Bush administration.

If you can't understand the difference, then ...............

I am very tolerant of all nationalities except the Dutch, they are out to take over the world

 

[CDNLaw]

The Dutch? I though is was the Chinese? Doesn't China own America now?

Wrong. Even in the time of the Clinton administration Canadians were still anti-American, along with the Europeans and of course arab nations.

The reason why the Americans are hated is not because of Bush, it's because of jealousy. The world is jealous of the worlds only superpower. The world is jealous of the United States because of their wealth, power, and influence.

 

[CDNLaw]

Wealth and power? Really? Do you think that individuals care about a "nations" wealth and power?

I think people in general care about jobs, health care and basic human rights!

well basically, in this world the Americans can do no right.

They invade Iraq and they're told to mind their own business, yet when they mind their own business by not attacking Sudan, they get criticized because they didn't intervene and save the black africans from being slaughtered by the arab militia.

You can't have it both ways.

You left out arrogance, or perhaps your post was intended as a satire of the Ugly American stereotype.

Idiot.

Why is it because someone doesn't agree with a policy of the US they are defined as American haters and anti-American. I am not. But I do not bend over and crack my ass open to our neighbours to the south at everything they say. The US are the masters at propoganda. They participate in it like any other rogue nation.

Okay.. lets work with that arguement you have just made. When is "war" just? If you are a strong, powerful and rich nation as you mentioned earlier, would you take those tools and try to stop people dying? Stop children starving?

Its not Americans, its the policies of the government that needs to be revisited. The United States is the world leader and should do just that LEAD! Not take a stance of "the American way, or no way".

This is very true!

wait, you're so right... the American way is so horrible.

What a shame that America is trying to spread democracy to countries led by dictators, who torture their citizens, oppress women, and encourage terrorism.

 

[CDNLaw]

Do you know your history? lol...

And yes democracy, at what cost?

Who's criticizing the American way?

We're just criticizing one idiot who happens to be American.

 

[Diode]

I do belive there is a Infiriority(sp) complex of many Canadians and Europeans, that causes them to lash out with snide remarks toward our American cousins.
CNDlaw, I care about a nation's power and wealth. Jeez what the hell do I work for? To amass a resonable level of personal weath from that pot. I do not do dishonest or illegal things, but I do believe that the harder you compete the more you deserve.
Yes Jobs are important, and more Americans are Employed as a total of the population than Canadians.
Healthcare..I'd pay for the Caddilac system Americans have access to ANY DAY!
Human Rights..Good point, until the USA elliminates Capital Punishment..they will Not be a leader in Human Rights.
What is most important to ME-DIODE_ Is opportunity!
Canada legislates us to death and IMHO stiffiles Opportunity.
Opprtunity knocks more often in the States!
No country is perfect, and I love Canada, but I hate small minded people who bash Americans!

 

[holden]

You can't have it both ways.

It's not having it both ways, it's about the hypocrisy of America's foreign policy

Stage of events

When they invaded Iraq, the american government said it was within their right to do so b/c Iraq had 'weapons of mass destruction' that can be use against america and their interest

So people question why they didn't attack North Korea b/c they definately have weapons of mass destruction that can be use against America and their interest

and when the americans couldn't find any weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the american government changed their advertising campaign in that they were trying to help liberate Iraq from a tyrant

That's when people started questioning the underlying interest of the american government, if their pursuit was noble (helping to liberate other countries from tyranny), they would have gone into Sudan first since millions of died from tyranny, also they would have gone into north korea also, as far as I know Kim Jong II is considered to be a tyrant in the western eye.

It's about the hypocrisy of it all that leaves a bitter taste in people's mouths

I don't hate americans nor do i really give a fuck anymore, I'm totally jaded and disillusioned with the leaders of countries and more towards grassroots, the selfishness of humsn beings

Now a days I believe in a getting a good old fashion blow job

 

[CDNLaw]

Agreed.. No one country is perfect and you are also correct stating that the US is the land of oppertunity. But the initial post was why Canadians "hate" Americans...

I still believe that most of the world doesn't hate Americans, its the government polices or certain issues.
