BBC said:The US has lost ground in some key allied countries, the survey suggests.
In France, 65% had a negative view of the US, up from 54% in the 2004 poll. In Britain the numbers went from 50% to 57%.
Negative views of the US are also up by 20 points in China, eight points in Australia and nine points in Brazil.
Deegan said:This just shows how stupid, envious, and irrational the world is!
First, views of Russia have gained favor? You mean as freedom has slipped from their peoples grip, and as Russia has helped cause the problems we now see in Iran?:shock:
Then China, a communist country? Just as they are gaining military strength, and threatening Tawain with military force, and all for being too free?:shock:
Then France, who's own minority rises up, and has to burn down major cities
to get some attention?
And the U.K, who just got served their own 9/11, on 3/11, and we are fighting side by side to fight the evil that would do these thing?
No, this world is screwed, but it has little to do with this country, and everything to do with the "do nothing" rest of this God forsaken planet!:roll:
But you smile you foolish boy, as you type on an American forum, knee deep in everything we have to say here on the internet, Oh.....that's right, we brought you that little treat as well.:rofl
I know this question was directed at Deegan but I would like to answer as well,Middleground said:Deegan, you listed some reason why other countries should fall out of favour from the rest of the world's eye.
Can you think of any reasons why the world view on the US has diminished?

Good views on China and Russia have been decreasing. Every country polled looked on Europe with good light.
Only Iran is more disliked than the US. Sorry guys. :smile:

One reason that comes to mind is we support and help defend Israel and the world does not like this so they rebel against the U.S.

Engimo said:That's certainly the way to foster peaceful relations between the countries of the world - insult them!
Trajan Octavian Titus said:Ya because foriegners are so polite when it comes to discussing the habits of Americans, I really don't give a sh!t if Europeans hate America, because I hate Europe. I know this is supposed to be the so called 'new,' Europe but I just don't see it all I see is the same bigoted, second rate, tyrant filled, old Europe that it always ways. Those people are always one recession short of putting another tyrant in power so I really don't give a fuc/k what they think.
So why don't you get the fuc/k out?Dondie said:I agree with your statement! A little short in 'my opinion' though. People around the world look at us (U.S.A.) as,well,bullies! And justifiiably so.
On invitation.We have troops in at least 200+ countries around the world.
Global security, liberation, and stability. If these people could handle their own sh!t then we wouldn't have to. And we don't target innoccent women and children, that's the terrorists that do that buddy.We are killing woman,children in the name of what?
The Israelis aren't strapping bombs to the backs of 5 year olds to target civilians the last time I checked.In the middle east, Israel is the one who are the terrorists.
They have no more,if less,right to be in controll. Israel has no ligit claim to the land.
The Arabs see American planes,tanks, bulldozers etc. being used by israel.(killing woman &children)
Kinda would tick em off a bit,ey?
The world sees this,and from being the worlds most repected Nation,we don't look so good anymore. Our foreign policy 'sucks'. Stay out of their affairs. And let that mini terrorist state fend for themselves. Enough American blood and $$$$$$$$$$$$.
Engimo said:And you hating an entire continent isn't bigoted? Making brash generalizations about what foreigners do isn't prejudiced?
You can't even cus right. It's like this:Orignally posted by Trajan Octavian Titus
I really don't give a sh!t, fuc/k Europe.
There, is that so hard?I really don't give a s.h.i.t, f.u.c.k Europe.

Billo_Really said:Seeing is believing. The whole world thinks Americans are a bunch of stupid, selfish, assholes that watch too much TV. And I couldn't agree more.
Middleground said:Phoenix, I agree that that is the case with middle-eastern countries, including Saudi Arabia.
Now what about Europe, SA and the rest of North America? I'll give you a hint... read Traj's post in this thread.
Who the hell do you think your talking too?Originally posted by Trajan Octavian Titus
Then I suppose if the numbers are correct that you're a great representative for your people.
I'm a god-damn American!

Engimo said:That's a great way to look at the world. It is this sort of attitude that is entirely counterproductive to international relations and just does a disservice to the United States and indeed humanity as a whole.
Trajan Octavian Titus said:Oh so you defend other people from making broad generalizations about Americans but I can't make broad generalizations about Europeans? Got to love that double standard.

Billo said:Americans are a bunch of stupid, selfish, assholes that watch too much TV
Engimo said:No, I don't support anyone making broad generalizations about any group of people without merit. I think it is important to look at why people dislike us so damned much, not that they are necessarily justified in doing so. Showing total disregard for the opinions of half the world is not an attitude that is going to help anyone, and just saying "**** 'em." is going to make things worse.
