10 things I hate about Americans

(1) Ignorance - recently an American asked if Darren Rowse was anywhere near Cyclone Larry. Darren lives in Melbourne, Larry is in far north Queensland. Don't worry mate, your only a couple of thousand kilometres off (don't get me started on the imperial system)

(2) Arrogance - just because they're the worlds only remaining superpower doesn't mean that they are better than anyone else. In fact, I consider most countries superior to American in a lot of things, eg. friendliness, talent, skill.

(3) Strong arm action - they believe that using military tactics will give them everything. It might at the moment, but it is causing all the nations that they invade to hate them.

(4) Poor political decision - Americans voted for Bush. Enough said.

(5) Mess around with our language - I hate the way Americans have destroyed the honourable English language. First they screwed around with spelling (Mum, not Mom!) and they have an idiotic accent that instantly makes people angry.

(6) Cultural bullies - Americans try to push their culture onto everyone else. Take the TV show, the O.C. It is the worst show I have ever seen and yet it is being forced upon us. Bloody Americans!

(7) Gun control - in America you can walk around with a gun. What a great idea! How stupid could you be!!! No wonder people are constantly killing each other.

(8) Rap music - an American phenomena that I dislike immensely. I would not even call it music, but they lap it up.

(9) Celebrity worship - actors and singers are at the top of the American social ladder, despite the fact that they don't actually do anything.

(10) Oprah Winfrey - *shudders uncontrollably* - and I'm not the only one.


I am not alone!! Here are a couple of great posts that reinforce my position about Americans.

Hate is too strong an emotion to waste because when we hate we assign a value to the object we hate and often that value is far in excess of what it is really worth.

Never go higher than dislike - when you dislike something you can treat it with disdain.

And disdain is very important, and can tell more to someone that simply violence.
Hmm... I like it!

Hi! I'm an American and I just posted about what a great bunch of people Aussies are.

I came by looking for a link, but after reading this post, it looks like all I will do is disappoint you.

Sorry about that.

PS - My dad flew in the Korean War and if he was here, he would tell you thank you for all the nice things your countrymen did for him.

Isn't that nice. I do hope you realize that this post is not directed at specific Americans (except Oprah), but at the generalized image they portray. This could be a deceptive plot by the media, or something worse.

But I am touched by your words. A link is coming your way! :)

Hey, Zantor! I'm an American, too, and I absolutley must agree with you about Oprah and rap music *shudder* *gag* And, frankly, I admit that we don't really speak English - it's really more "Ahmurrican," ;-)

One of these days, I'm going to get out there to Australia and dive the Great Barrier Reef, and soak in the incredible topography y'all have. Of course, I might not make it out there until I'm seriously old and grey, but I suppose one must have a goal to work toward, LOL!

As for Bush, yes, I voted for him. I don't agree with everything he does (can anyone say "fiscal responsibility"???), but I think his policies against terrorism are at least a step in the right direction. And, having many of your countrymen join in the fight has been a wonderful honor - the valor and courage of the Aussies is something for which Americans are greatful.

Yeah, we're a bunch of brawlers sometimes, but you Aussies are pretty good in a bar fight, too, from what I hear! ;-)

Best wishes,

You are the most ridiculous person I have ever seen! At least the Iraqi's hate us for a reason but your reasons show that you are just a ignorant hate monger who has nothing better to do because your MOMMY didn't give you enough titty. Also, What should be up there is country music instead of rap--all that inbreeding, hill billy, red neck, backyard hick, white trash bullshit they call music. Oh yeah--Bush is the Antichrist but that is because mostly whites love him, not us asians.

wow, with all of this that has been said, i am kind of afraid to visit australia. i have been saving since i was 16. i have always been amazed with all the natural aspects of the country. i really wanted to go learn about wildlife and culture. i also thought about trying to move and pursuing a carrer in zoology. i mean come on, the closest thing i can observe here is a squirrel!
but even though some aussies do think these things about americans, even though i may disagree,i do see where people come from with it.our government is, well i dont even know what to say about them.but yes, most people who travel are rude,idiotic,arrogant and stuck up and its sad that they are the ones that people run into.and for the most part it is because they are wealthy so of course they think they are a godsend and the ones who are able to travel the easiest. i for one always have respect for people and i am always kind no matter what. and i also dislike loud people, i mean come on are you deaf? but with everything said here and i know everyone has different opinions and everyone may hate me if i do go, i just really need to ask a question and i really hope an aussie will answer this.is it a good idea for me to visit? or is it going to be "oh shes an american" and i be disliked on the spot without anyone giving me a chance to let them see who i really am?i never thought that i belonged here and i cant help where i was born.if i could choose where it would be there, and no im not trying to suck up.its just an amazing place and you all are so lucky to live in a place like that! america is overrated, and the cities are sprawling and the wildlife is becoming homeless. its just too sad to watch and i hate it.

oh and by the way i didnt vote for bush. never would, cant say anything about him because the freedom of speech thing is a crock of, well you know where this is going.... and i am not trying to offend anyone on this post, but thats just my opinion.

2.Usher- Confessions (R&B Album)
3.Norah Jones - Feels like home (jazz album)
4.50 Cent - Massacre (rap album)
5.Mariah Carey - Emanticipation of mimi (r&b album)
6.Coldplay - XY (alternative)

so where is the rock/ sh!tty country albums?

Oprah's popularity or racial colour have nothing to do with my hate for her. She destroyed the canadian meat industry in a single show with no proof at all.

And apart from the fact that you have a rock song in your list? The top 5 albums of all time are:
The Eagles - Greatest Hits
Michael Jackson - Thriller
Pink Floyd - The Wall
Led Zeppelin - Untitled
AC/DC - Back in Black
Do you see any rap songs there?

Just because they sell albums doesn't make their music good.

You don't have to like America. The only thing you need to do is not to live here.

As an African American I can tell your ignorance of A.A. culture. It was born out of our ghettos and is our self expression. If you don't like it simply don't listen to it.

I also applaud any African woman who can become a self made BILLIONARE.

I wonder how the English feel about the way your accents sounds.

hey everyone. I'm fifteen and i'm an american, and i think people shouldn't stereotype americans. Not everyone is the way some people think, and people should not make judgements on the whole population because of their experience. I'm not ignorant or arrogant(i'm shy, actually, and i love being around people). I really like australia, and i love your accents. I remember i first heard about the country(and continent) through Steve Irwin, but now i'm researching the history of the country because i'm planning on visiting next summer. I was wondering, will people like me if i visit? I can't help that i'm american or that i say Mom instead of Mum. I think both ways are cool. But i respect everyone's opinion, and everyone is entitled to have one. Hooroo!(I just learned that one. Do aussie's really use that to say bye?)

Aussies are hypocritical wankers. You mention the election of Bush, but you are making John Howard into Menzies.

It is only irony that an Aussie has a page about loathing Americans.They loathe that America is a superpower,yet the same superpower they loathe,were glad to have us (actually they begged for our help) around during the war.In fact they would probably be speaking Japanese had the Americans not been there to defend the very country they couldnt defend.If Australians really hate America,why does it look like the 51st state? Why do they make a big deal if an Aussie "makes it big" in Hollywood? Why does Australia constantly want to compare itself with America?Look at every corporation that is currently ruling Australia.Most have been American and most are being bought by Americans.Is the real reason for detest stemming from a lack of identity themselves,or is it from feeling second best in thier own country.By the way-Aussies dont just hate Americans-they hate most foreigners who come to migrate to Australia-even though thier ancestry were migrants (convicts at that).That hatred comes from the fact that people from other countries (skippys call them wogs)are able to flourish in Australia,yet the ones who were born here cant get off thier asses to succeed.Laziness has ruled thier culture,and if you dont believe me,ask yourself what Aussie culture is.Look around you-your country ( since the 50's)was built by europeans and americans and if you dont like it,do something about it for a change.The final irony is that we (I am an immigrant) didnt have to take over Australia by force- We only had to buy it out from under your lazy asses.

to answer the Hooroo comment... iv'e never heard it actually being said, we usually just say seeya, bye, catcha, and sometimes will add "mate" onto the end of that lol. i'm an aussie and proud to be, i for one don't hate Americans at all, infact quite a few of my friends are American, and i think that you'll find that Aussies really don't mind the American accent, just a week ago some girls in my grade (10th) were sighing at this guys "cute accent" and he was from America. I for one am quite happy to have immigrants come to Aus .It might have something to do with my mum being Irish but my circle of friends all except people for who they are, no matter what country. sure there are some racial comments that go about highschool, but then i ask you, what country doesn't have SOME people like that?

I'd like to go to America some day, to see all the big cities and high rises.

I recently went to Bangladesh, and we were saying with a family that were American and English. There was a guy there who is a year older than me and we both ade fun of eacho others accents and stange word, like Maccas (to all you Americans out there thats McDonalds) and him calling what i call Jelly Jell O or how ever you spell it. So proves the fact it's not just Aussies who make fun of American accents, i mean look at the Simpsons for pities sake!

Also when i was in Bangladesh i was surrounded by Americans and they were some of the nicest people iv'e ever met, just as nice as Aussies, if not nicer.

Anyway, i'm sure that you don't want to hear my abble anylonger so in the spirtit of the Aussies i'll say...

Anonymous Frank said...

Come on, we should be friends. I have to agree with a lot of what you said, but don't let the minority influence your opinion of the majority.

(1) Ignorance - There are a lot of ignorant people. I knew an Australian that immigrated to the US. He sells drugs. Does that make all Australians drug dealers?

(2) Arrogance - I agree with you. Does that make me arrogant since I'm American?

(3) Strong arm action - I don't believe military Action will get us everything. I and many americans believe in diplomacy. The Iraq war is a mess and it was poorly planned. I live in America, I didn't plan the war or wars.


(4) Poor political decision - Come on! What other choice did we have? John Kerry is douche! George Bush won because people want less federal government control in their life. It's a classic battle of states rights. It is proven that social issues are better handled on a local level. Maybe healthcare for all Americans is a great idea, if we had the demographics of Canada. Issues like this are better handled on a local or state level.

(5) Mess around with our language - The English language was forced on the original Americans. As an American Indian I don't really mind though. I think it's the cannucks with the funny accent, eh. We didn't just wake up one day with an accent. I could go to parts of the US and barely be able to understand the person talking. The USA is big damn place, it's not like we're the size of England. Of course there is accents and variations just like all English speaking countries.

(6) Cultural bullies - It's not America pushing their TV into your culture. There is a demand for it. This is what Capitalism is all about. I have to agree the O.C. is the worst show ever though! I live and grew up in the "OC", it's nothing like the show. Those homo's make up less than 1% of the real OC.

(7) Gun control - Most places in America you can't just walk around with a gun. You must have watched one too many Michael Moore movies. Are you influenced by Hollywood? It sounds like you believe people should not be responsible for their actions.

(8) Rap music - Rap music is not just American Phenomena, it is worldwide. Maybe you feel like it is bigger than it really is since possibly it has influenced your country more than ours. Rap music is just about dead in the US though, but much like a lot of entertainment and fads it might be longer for your country to be relieved of it.

(9) Celebrity worship - You are wrong. Anybody that takes social advice from an actor probably voted for John Kerry.

(10) Oprah Winfrey - She's rich and has a popular show... trust me i would rather watch Benny Hill.

OK I am 18 and I dont want to sound like a stupid american who doesnt know any history so correct me if I am wrong but wasnt australia just a dumping ground for english criminals 100's of years ago. So your Country was "founded" by the English. America was "founded" by the English. If Australia had the work ethic or the motavation they could be a world super power right now. So don't go blameing Ameircans for working more then you and putting in More effort.

As far as Oprah I feel she has done a lot of good in this world. She has donated to numorus charitys and she has done a lot with helping children in Africa. At least she is trying to help the world.

9 things I hate about arrogant British people like the poster here.

(1) Ignorance - As a Californian, most foreigners assume that I must live in hollywood and see celebrities all the time. Many have trouble understanding that I live over 8 hours away from there. You really think this is unique to your experience?

(2) Arrogance - Many Europeans, after spending centuries conquering and killing, and having now lost most of their power, like to look down their noses at anyone who acts like they did.

(3) Stereotypes based on one man - Anyone who would claim that Americans think this or that based on what Bush does is ignorant.

(4) Poor political interpretation - In 2004, almost 60 million American people, or about the entire population of Great Britain, voted against Bush. Anyone who knows the first thing about the US knows how divided it is, but some ignorant people like to claim that "Americans voted for Bush", period.

(5) Language- The British spent centuries spreading their language around the world by force, and now whine about how their precious language is being ruined. If they wanted to keep their language pure, all they had to do was keep it in their own country. Now that it has been spread everywhere, it belongs to anyone who speaks it as a first language. Don't like it? Too bad.

(6) Whining about Americans being cultural bullies- You don't want American culture in your nation? Stop spending money on it and paying attention to it and it will go away. Its not that complicated. Nobody forces any European to eat American food or listen to American music, but Europeans do, and then some whine about how Americans "push" their culture on them.

(7) Not understanding gun control -What can I say? We're still remembering how having readily available guns allowed us to kick the British out, when they thought they were the superpower that can do anything.

(8) Music- Complaining about rap music when they can easily listen to something else.

(9) Celebrity worship -No nation is more obsessed with people who do absolutely nothing than the British are with their royal family.

I would just wonder what kind of a world we would live in without America....It would be a rather dull one.Like it or not,America has come up with luxuries that these people take for granted (eg- internet,planes,electricity).Some say America is trying to "take over the world",yet has never colonized countries as other European countries have (yet we recieve more flack than the Romans,the British,the Spanish,the Dutch,etc).Now Australia-when you asked for our help when the Japanese invaded-who did you call,and who helpped you keep your land? It was America.You begged for England,and Churchill wanted the Japanese to take over (so that later England could eventually try to take over Australia from them), yet you hold unfounded contempt for a country who has spilled blood for you.Is that honourable? Is that the Australian honour you claim to be proud of?
Some people point the finger at some problems America has had in the past (slavery,war,etc),yet they need to remember thier own countries arent that perfect either (otherwise they wouldnt try to compare themselves with America or look to them for the answers,or insult America for not being perfect).Remember Australia's history wasnt so flash either...in fact today Australia is known as a country with a lot of racial issues,xenophobia, and general hostility towards foreigners (the only country to have a White only policy -until the mid 1970's)... a lot different than the "laid back" image that they are supposed to be known for.

To the moron who said gun control kicked the british out is totally pathetic. Guns are not needed in todays society. All this crap about the right to bear arms in the bill of rights. But the bill of rights do not say citizens can own and drive a car or plane. Why? Because it didn't exist at the time. But what responsible authority would make it possible for the average joe to go and drive a car without licensing, testing and careful regulation? How does it make sense that guns with no other purpose than to kill can be so much easier to obtain?
The right to bear arms in the 18th century was tied to the frontier and pioneering existence of the colonies as well as the need for protection against european powers led by britain. That age has long passed.

I think it's ignorant of the writer to label all americans this way. I'm a Canadian, and other than disliking their administration, don't dislike them.

Aside from the military blunders of the latter 20th century, they've been remarkable and helpful for the world. But yes, I do believe the sense of superiority, which is misplaced, has led some of them to think it's there way or the highway.

If there is anything "they" do wrong, it's assuming others wish to be like them. While they are industrious, innovative, and again...have been a great stabalizing force in the world...I think success of the past...has gone to the head.

They are loosing their way, and sadly we could us the U.S. of the past, not of the present. They are not pragmatic, and are very inflexible in matters of world politics. Again, when i say they, I mean their government.

There is tremendous good in the U.S. however I think those "good" people have handed the country to complete idiots.

Superpowers is the most shitty word i've ever heard and jelly is JAM and jello is JELLY. it's call PETROLIUM not GASOLINE or PETROL not GAS. i went to the US once to go to Disneyland in Florida and all the Statesmen (im not calling you americans because thats two continets and about 20 nations) i met were total bastards. and get out of britain's way. everyone i know hates george bush and all of you. stop getting in the way. nobody likes you by the way. get over it. and get your own language. or speak ours correctly. and gte an accent. you say we make fun of your accent well how come on every States-made cartoon i see (ie: simpsons, family guy, fairly odd parents) that we all have horrible teeth (we have the greatest denistry package in the world, free until you're eighteen and ten pounds for 18+ [im not converting to your shit dollars]) and we have great teeth. also, stop taking british music from us. You Statesmen take our music and throw it away and then kill it. rock is english [the Who/Black Sabbath/Iron Maiden/Queen] and you take it and ruin it. Theatre is ENGLISH [William Shakespeare, Andrew Lloyd webber, tim rice]. film is french. electristy/lightbulb is ENGLISH (an english gentleman created it and then whatshisname coems and ruins it) and many others

Im an Ameriacn. My mother and father are Irish. Its a funny thing in this country. What we consider makes us american and what the world thinks makes you an american. I truly think the world would be surprised at how much of us are all alike. But you also have to consider that there are lots of different kinds of americans.
do I agree with Bush? Hell no. I hate the guy. Cant stand oprah either. fuckin hate rap music. And dont eat fast food.
I know this much. whoever posted the 10 things about us. you obviosly have never been here.
because if you had. you'd know that what you see on TV is not how it is here. Your referring to certain area codes of Los Angeles. which in our opinion is another world. a vain and retarded one.
the government. well, thats another issue. a scary one. and it makes me sick, and sad.

I am an American living in Australia. I beg to differ with the american person dissing Australians. The Aussies have been very nice to me since I have lived here. I like their accents and I have been told by Aussies they like my accent.
As for the Aussie persons ten ideas of America. I dont like rap either, nor the war, I am just plain not like the Americans you described, neither are lots of Americans.
I think we should instead of saying nasty things about each other ( America and Australia ) be kinder to each other as one day we may be again fighting side by side in a terrible war.

I am the American that started my blog just a bit ago stating, " I am an American living in Australia." To that American that says Australians are lazy...WRONG!!! YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. You know nothing about this wonderful country Australia and the wonderful people that live here. You complain about their accents?? Even people in different parts of the USA have different accents. The Australian accent is quite nice. Also, Australians are not all decendants of prisoners, most are not. But even as for the ones that were, a lot of Americans too are decendants of prisoners or worse..
For the Australians that think Americans all voted for Bush...I did not vote for him and many others did not. Not sure myself what all happened there. Have my ideas about that.
Anyway on January 26th I will be celebrating Australia Day here in Australia. HAVE A GREAT AUSTRALIA DAY!!!

i am Australian and i think Americans are great!!

the problems most people have with Americans, is not the people but what they represent you see.

i have met Americans and they are really nice and friendly and great to to talk too.

anyway back to the reason people dislike America so much

A: Government, Europe used to like America back in the 90's but you can blame your president for your country losing all respect.

B: Iraq War, yes it was poorly planned, if it was a success i dont think people would dislike the United States soo much.

C: Accent, you guys sound like a drunk Irishman, no offense but you guys have the irish accent with a drawl also it is very nasally it sounds like you guys need to blow your nose.

but yeah aside from those facts americans are great.

ps: to that stupid dickhead who thought we would be speaking Japaneses if America hadn't helped us

1. get your facts straight you just prove American ignorance and thats why because of people like you, your country is hated.

2. we had already taken back most of papua new guinea before you guys arrived.

3. it was never Japans plan to take over Australia, they only wanted to isolate it from the US and Europe thats all they didn't have enough troops to start and invasion

4. those "american companys" in Australia you talk about are actually owned by Australians, yes its called a franchise you dummy we have Australian CEO's who earn Australian money

5. AND REMEMBER AMERICANS you wouldnt have your nuclear bombs if we didn't sell your our Uranium :)

I'm an American. I have to agree with most of what you say. Oprah is a monster and Bush is an idiot. For being founded by thugs and rapists, your country turned out pretty decent.

As for Canadians, every time I've been up there people have been total dicks. Show us Seattlites some love eh?

Uh, huh
You are all idiots who are saying that this guy who wrote this is right
I have one question for you
"HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO THE USA?"
Idiots, that is who you are
I mean, if you haven't been there, that means that you are judging a country that you don't know
I am American
Now, I live in Russia
And you know why?
Because of these STUPID RUSSIANS
That's why
But I am living here and I can compare these two countries
And yes, America was discovered by the english, right
And they are the ones who ruined it in the first place!
They were not really educated then
Idiots
Well, then how come you don't hate Russia?
I mean it is so big and they have Putin as their president
Why?
Well, America is a normal country
Have the states fallen apart in different countries after all the years?
No
And the gun part
Well, have to say
They don't have guns allowed in every state
In Texas they do
For protection
There are a lot of violence situations
GOT IT?
AMERICA IS JUST WAY AHEAD ALL OF YOU !
AND YOU HATE IT FOR THAT?
IDIOTS, THAT IS WHO YOU ARE
