If it weren't for the US, theres a good chance that the world would be under either Nazi or communist control...
and everyone relies US entertainment.... and companies
The answer is in the question, tubbs. One reason everyone hates you is you're so arrogant and forever spouting off how awesome your country is without even the slightest hint of modesty. Further, the general people are shallow and appear to be soulless when you speak to them, constantly smiling and wishing well to everyone.
You're greedy. People see america as a country full of overweight people, whilst politically throwing their weight around when there's millions of starving people out there (yeah other countries are getting fatter, but it dervies from the US culture that is spreading).
Further, most of your films or TV programs are unbelieveably contrived, with everyone looking spotless with these false-looking 'hollywood smiles'. All films seem to be self-fellating with the stars and stripes plastered everywhere. Many of your own people realise what a joke the country is, and create political cartoons such as south park, however the audience usually misses the true drive of the program and instead concentrates on the comic value of the jokes.
Your cars suck. There have been maybe 10 cars ever produced that are half decent.
You use massive amounts of fuel and produce more pollution than anyone else in the world, yet you won't do anything about it because much smaller developing countries don't/can't join in the kyoto agreement.
You have massive amounts of fundamentalist (with emphasis on the 'mentalist') christians who aren't a million miles off as crazy as the islamists. They put no thought into where their religion stemmed and for what reasons, and simply take the bible at face value, drummming into their own heads and indoctrinating their children.
You have huge problems with guns, yet fall back on your constitution that it's your right when questioned. Yes, I know banning guns would be a nightmare now as then only the criminals will have them, but take off your rosey specs and see how many people are dying/killing themselves because of this constitution. Admit it might not be quite right.
Your women seem so false, as do the men. You see all the crap movies with jocks and all that crap, and you think it all just fictional, but then you see genuine footage and people really do loook that shallow. Empty shells painted nicely.
You spout on about how you saved the world time and time again without so much thought about the others who were part of the fights or the hugely controversial/just plain wrong practices you performed in order to be the victor in such challenges. You feel your wealthy forces give you the right to be mouthy and brash to the rest of the world.
Your own government totally has control over you. It forces the kids to sing to the flag all the time and make a huge song and dance of patriotism, effectively brainwashing much like north Korea.
Your government is a joke. The president is never really questionned on his practices (unlike the UK prime minister, for example, who is grilled by the oppposition for an hour or so every week on live TV thus forcing him to back up and explain each and every move). In the US, all you see is the president arriving with a whole load of music/razmataz/flag waving. He performs a pre-prepared speech and everyone whooops and cheers, then he dissapears. What's the difference between that and a dictatorship?
It's even highly possible he wasn't even voted in.
You vote for the most entertaining president, rather than the one who perhaps has the best policies/outlook for the US.
Your food is all really sweet and sickly.
You breed fat little gobby stupid kids who create posts like the OP's.
Well that's all for now, I'm off for lunch.
