Why Is The U.k And The U.s.a So Hated By Other Countries?

[Mumofangels]

I've never heard of anti brazillian rallies or anti ibiza rallies but keep on hearing about anti u.k and anti u.s and burning of our flags but why do they hate us?

[sara3]

who hates us? links??

[emmie]

are we and the USA, is that why so many want to come here to settle.

[boxtops]

Partly because of colonialism, I'm sure - in the past we've gone into other countries who were managing fine by themselves, and thrown our weight around.

[emmie]

why would anyone go on an anti Ibiza rally, what would they have against the party place, too much booze, not enough booze, too loud music, surely you jest.

[boxtops]

Ibiza's part of Spain anyway - and Spanish and Brazilian people have both protested internally from time to time.

The last time I saw anybody burning our flag it was a protest in Birmingham!

I find the fact that so many people seems to hate us but try as hard as they can to get into Britain and then go to Trafalgar Square and say how awful we all are.

Were all the Muslims that seem to get so overexcited so very easily just as as aerated about people like Sadaam Hussein when he was alive ? Can't remember many of them getting all worked up when he was killing 10,000's of his own Muslim people.

[Mumofangels]

"who hates us? links?? " Watch the news or read the papers like the rest of us who want to know what's happening in the world.

Em10, the reason many want to settle here is because of the benefits system and a better life then what they had. I'm not sure about the u.s.a though, maybe the same?

I used Brazil and Ibiza as examples so not to be taken literally.

Mightywba it's a sad day for us when we're hated by even our own, it's similar to when a child grows up and turns on the parent i suppose.

[emmie]

so if you know this, the reason why they want to come and why they hate us, why ask..

[Kathyan]

Probably because like the US we can't keep our noses out of other countries business!

[emmie]

but when we stay out of others business they bellyache like mad that we aren't helping, see current situation in Syria if you don't believe me.

[Mumofangels]

"so if you know this, the reason why they want to come and why they hate us, why ask.. "

No i answered your question of "are we and the USA, is that why so many want to come here to settle"

Which still leaves the question of why are we hated, do keep up.

[jackthehat]

Because they can?

[Mumofangels]

Because they can? But they "Can" hate anyone they want but seem to only choose us and the uk which indicates a problem with us and the us does it not?

[Svejk]

Can't answer your question, but I like your style, mumo.

[Mumofangels]

I'll have to pick this up later after i make the kids teas.

Thanks Svejk.

[jackthehat]

Erm.....jealousy?

[sara3]

Svejk, you like the stroppy attitude from a newbie?

takes all sorts..

[Svejk]

Cor, I was just going to suggest jealousy, Jth. Also I think they're a bit thick & a little knowledge is always dangerous in such hands.

[Svejk]

Now,now sara, you were a virgin once.
