You get paid to do this!? How much? And all this time I've been doing it for free!!!! Oh well but if it helps opens peoples minds and hearts to wanting to annihilate the US and the rewards that come after, that's payment enough, I guess.

Ma'am, enough with this ego stroking please! This is what they do over at Quora. Think of ways to get rid of them once and for all!

Again, problems that would not exists if Canadians stopped whining about it and actually started doing something about it! Ma'am, I forgot to mention this...... do you realize that complaining does not do anything? What do you expect anyway? That if you complain hard enough, they are going to listen to you, mend their errors, become a better people and everyone is happy? I don't waste time doing that and neither should you because they are not listening! What you should do is unite the world and neutralize them! Unite the world, neutralize them! Neutralize them! Neutralize them! Neutralize them! I can't use the 'd' word because this site might get angry. If they don't exist, all of these problems that you complain about will disappear...... ever thought of that, ma'am?

Aren't you afraid that they might use that excessive military force on other nations, like Canada?

YES! YES! Oh my God! Oh sweet Jesus thank you, THANK YOU! Okay miss Zeitgeist..... if the US is a dangerous nation not only to themselves but to other nations as well, why allow it to continue to exist? It would be fine if they contained this danger to themselves but if thy spread it to other peoples as well....... you definitely should stop them, by force if necessary, don't you think?

Aren't you afraid that stray bullets might cross the border and hit some innocent Canadians?

Which is stupid because I thought majority of NATO members were against it!? Why didn't Canada and Europe refuse? Why didn't Canada and Europe turned on the US? Why didn't Canada and Europe stopped the US from invading Iraq which could have saved hundreds of thousands of people and prevented this whole miserable refugee crisis? Again thank you God for this wonderful gift!

As I already mentioned, I am not stupid to just attack you without backup. I need Canada, I need Europe, I need the world. In fact, I don't even really need to be in the fighting, I can just sit back, relax, let others do the dirty work and voila...... I get Maine..... which is the main reason for all my threads.

Oooooooh, it's like one of em' Quora users! It's like a dream come true for me! Are you going to criticize that they don't have..... what do you call it again..... universal healthcare...... is that the one? AAAAAAHHHHHH! IT IS A DREAM COME TRUE! QUORA, QUORA, QUORA, QUORA! I like you because definitely talk like a Quora user. Now..... if that were true, how come the noble Canadians did not come to the rescue of those weaker bullied powers? And don't give me the whole "they are too powerful" argument please. Everyone knows that Canada can easily ally themselves with whatever nation they want or the world for that matter and put an to the US's existence, so why hasn't Canada done that? Okay, so why doesn't Canada sever ties with the US and kick everything out and urge the rest of the world to do that? Do you not realize that they are making money off of you!? If there is a God out there, thank you for giving me miss Zeitgeist..... she truly mimics Quora users.

Why do some British dislike the United States of America? "Well, you asked... Americans are enslaved by the Puritan Work Ethic. A stultifying doctrine that crushes the human spirit, trammels its creativity and, paradoxically, limits ambition. It's as if you took from us the heritage of the Roundheads but left behind all the joie-de-vivre and devil-may-care flamboyance of the Cavaliers. (You'll need a bit of knowledge of our Civil War and constitutional history to interpret that.) Thankfully, you have just enough maverick throwbacks to keep alive the idea of an alternative. (The Jamaicans have a nice saying which I commend to you: "If work is such a great thing, how come the rich haven't grabbed it all for themselves?") The American Dream is illusory and for most Americans near the bottom of the heap, a nightmare. You are invited to buy-into the myth: the idea that anyone can 'make it', regardless of how humble their origins are. Most who 'make it' start high and climb higher (and there's no shame in that). An infinitesimal number ever make it out of the swamp at the bottom and the notion of the 'Dream' leads them to believe that their position is therefore somehow their own fault and they are therefore analogous to our old Victorian 'undeserving poor'. * The unwavering belief that the American Way is best, coupled with the assumption that the lifestyle is aspired to by all, everywhere, unreservedly. The ubiquity of Coca-Cola and McDonalds may reinforce that belief but really that is not the best you have to offer the world and much of the world is ambivalent about what you do offer. This goes hand-in-hand with a lack of curiosity about, and a general ignorance of, the world at large, even among your educated classes. (A case in point: a friend of mine from South Africa held a senior position in a Software company and transferred to California. On being asked by her new colleagues where she hailed from - they spotted the unusual accent - she told them: Johannesburg, South Africa. They then asked her which state this was in... Yes, really. And these colleagues were educated to masters level or above. Draw your own conclusion.) And even where there is not ignorance there is often condescension. Two of the most overweeningly arrogant men I ever met were American academics manning an outpost of an American University in Florence. They loved Italy. They said so, repeatedly. But their attitude spoke louder than their words. Italians were lazy, muddled, childlike - in their eyes - unworthy successors to their Roman or Renaissance forbears. Laid back, spontaneous, prone to procrastination Italians may be, but they nonetheless manage to preserve much of their heritage and have a 'savoir vivre' which is second to none. A little of this rubbed-off on the academics after the second bottle of Chianti, but generally they exhibited a dourness which bespoke a Germanic or Dutch extraction. You tend to continue to deify your past leaders, long after their feet of clay have become apparent. (Maybe you imagine this follows in the illustrious footsteps of the Romans?) A tendency to regard the rest of the world as a sort of playground where your young people can go to misbehave, fight misguided wars on behalf of their elders and generally exercise a sort of latter-day droit de seigneur. (You may suggest that there is an element of 'the pot calling the kettle...' here.) ... That's the stereotype - which a lot of Americans do their best to perpetuate, at home and abroad. Thankfully there are others... The others are more self-aware, aware of the limits of the world-view they inherited, keen to learn about other cultures, especially those with a depth of history that America does not have and generally good company. They are fundamentally secure in their identity. They make no apology for being who and what they are but do not expect the envy of others or seek to aggrandise the American Way. The least of them see America as first-among-equals; the best of them merely as equals. To summarise I'd say the problem we have with you is that you are like a slightly immature younger brother: very athletic, rather cocksure, utterly unaware of how much you don't know and understand but often amusing and sometimes naively but charmingly righteous. And occasionally awed by both what you have achieved - and it's a lot, in many fields: literature, science, technology, arts - you more-or-less gave the world Cinema - and by your own potential. And we couldn't have won WWII without you (notwithstanding the Hollywood view that John Wayne won it single-handed, we were there too). The world can learn a lot from America - both how to do things and how not to do things. And America can learn a lot from the world; and, by going out into the world with an open heart and an open mind, that won't just be how everything that's best originates at home... I dearly love my American friends. Some of them find their country exasperating at times (as I do mine). We don't really dislike America - we just dislike the way some Americans try to be in the world. * It could be argued that the Dream is in its death throes, that the election of Donald Trump represents a last-ditch attempt to breathe new life into it. It won't succeed. Who knows, maybe the reappraisal of the American Dream will turn out to be the silver lining to your dark cloud?" - John Welch, Garden and Landscape designer, writer and teacher https://www.quora.com/Why-do-some-British-dislike-the-United-States-of-America

So? I don't care. I did promise you that every time you responded to me, I would bring up quotations and references. You want it to stop? Don't respond to me because I don't want your inputs. Here, this ones from an Americana who went to your country...... it's kinda sad and inspiring: Why do the British hate Americans? "I travel a lot on business, so I know some of what you are going through and I sympathize - I wish I had a dollar for every anti-American remark I hear these days. I try to keep it in perspective and not get too bent out of shape, but there are times it makes me feel bad and I wonder the same things that you do. I think a lot of it is disappointment and betrayal - the British, French and other countries would not hate us so much now if they didn't love the ideals we purport to represent so much. The U.S. holds itself up as the voice of freedom, the hope of the world, the heroes - the American way is supposed to be all about freedom, decency, truth, beauty, tolerance, forgiveness, charity, treating others as you would like to be treated yourself, loving one another, equality and justice for all. That is how we represent ourselves to the world and to ourselves - and whether they admit it or not, most of the countries of the world (and most of us!) believe it, at least a little - we all believe in these things because we want to believe, because it is a dream worth believing in, because these values and the hope and belief in the possibility of a world ruled by them is the only thing that makes life worth living. And, no, we are NOT the only ones with these ideals - but we are the ones who have been most vocal about it and who tie our national identity, our whole rationale for existing, to them. Yes, other countries do bad things and screw up (look up France and the Rainbow Warrior and the history of the British in India and Ireland). But everyone expects better from the U.S. - including ourselves. So when the U.S. fails to live up to the values and ideals we purport to represent, it is not so surprising that the rest of the world sees it as a deep and bitter betrayal - because we are not just betraying ourselves, but everyone who has trusted in us and believed in the values we claim to represent. Heck, sometimes I feel betrayed - I feel like our government has sold us out to the bureaucrats, corporations and fat cats and betrayed our ideals - but I still believe in the dream. I'm not saying all of this hate comes out of disappointment and betrayal - some of it is resentment of our hypocrisy, a large part of it comes out of the urge to blame someone else when things go wrong, rather than looking at one's own actions - and a lot of the current crisis IS our fault, although not all - and the U.S. has set itself up as a great scapegoat. Plus some people like kicking the bully when he's down - and the U.S. government has been a bully sometimes - we've done good things, but we've also thrown our weight around in world politics and trampled on others for almost 100 years - and now we are reaping the bitter of what we have sown. Unfortunately, it is human nature to focus on the bad acts and to forget about the good things done. And then there is plain old jealousy - right or wrong, in this place and time the U.S. is the number one super power - some people resent that, others like kicking the big dog when he's down even more than they like routing for the underdog - again, just human nature. Every nation in the world has their share of arrogance, hypocrisy and every other negative trait I have listed here - but like I said, everyone expects better of the U.S. The U.S. has held itself to a higher standard - so when it fails, sometimes those who have not tried to achieve that standard, or who have tried and failed, rejoice - I think that's sad. One of the things I love best about the U.S. is that we have at least reached for the dream - and you know what I think? - as long as we never give up trying to achieve it, as long as we are willing to fight for it, then we haven't failed. Only quitters fail. Not that any of this is fair to you - you weren't even born when most of the events occurred which have caused the current political situation - and since you are only 14, it is highly unlikely that you have any influence on, or involvement in, the choices the U.S. government is making now. Unfortunately, life isn't fair, many people are irrational most of the time, many people are incredibly shallow, many are intolerant and prejudiced in various ways - and many behave like real @ssholes whenever possible - as witness some of the posts here in answer to your question. Look at the girl who wrote about fat like it was America's besetting sin and the person who was obsessed with our accents - both merely shallow physical traits - and the person obsessed with zionist conspiracies and the other prejudiced and unreasoning posts - these comments speak more about the persons who wrote them than the U.S. It's called transference and you can expect to see a lot of it in your life. My suggestion - you can't control other people's behavior or opinions - but you CAN control yours. Exercise caution and common sense, but also be as tolerant as you can manage and try not to take any of this personally, or even too seriously - because it really has nothing to do with you as a person. Try and look at the absurdity of it all and to remember that bad behavior most often says more about the person who does it than about the person on the receiving end of it. And try and be something better yourself. Do your best to treat others how you would like to be treated and to be courteous, patient and kind and to listen to everyone, even if you find their behavior, opinions and views offensive - because when you listen and watch people and pay attention, you learn things - and because courtesy costs nothing and gives everything. This doesn't mean you need to stand around and take abuse - sometimes it is best to ignore it, or just to make a polite excuse and walk away, or just to be honest - nor does it mean that you should be best friends with everyone - but do try to be at least civil and courteous with everyone, even when they are behaving badly. I know this is not always possible - and sometimes you have to stand up for yourself and for what you believe - but pick your battles, choose the time and place wisely - and exercise common sense, caution and restraint. For friendship, be choosy - get to know the person and values below the surface and be selective who you choose to spend most of your time with and who you confide in. Have courage and faith in yourself, brace your backbone, lift your chin and grin - and God bless you and good luck!"

That's going to make a lot of them angry but if it helps to push them towards China's embrace, that's fine with me. Yes, there a lot of people who do. Why? Because according to a lot of people, China builds up the world whereas the US only wants to bomb it. A lot of people hate this exceptionalism. To them, it is the source of arrogance and ignorance of Americans. That is one of the many reasons why so many people don't want the US to be the super power anymore and want it to collapse. According to them and Europeans, guns are bad it, is only used for mass murders. Ma'am, may I also ask, why waste money, manpower and resources on them despite them hating you? A lot of them don't even acknowledge that you helped Europe rebuild after WW2 or your men and women who died for them. All they see in you are a bunch of fat, arrogant, ignorant, stupid, loud imperialists. They are happy to accept what you give them and they are more than happy to stab you in the back after. If I found out that people I helped in real life were talking behind my back, I would slap them so hard numerous times and then spit in their faces and enjoy watching them suffer.

No. Either we go together or we fall together, so what say thee? I may be brave and ready to die but I'm not stupid. I'm too lazy to find anything from the UK but here, this time it's from yahoo answers and it's from a kiwi: Why do British people hate Americans? Well I am from New Zealand and a lot of people here dislike Americans too. So does Australia they really dislike America. They have signs in the country that says "go home Yank" and "nothing ever good came out of America". We haven't gone that far. We just say "Americans are imbeciles". It's the fact that when Americans are tourist and visiting other countries. They like to say "oh we have bigger malls back in America" They also tend to be very loud, rude, disrespectful and arrogant. We like canadians. Another thing we dont understand is why all the big racist protest. We dont understand why a whole bunch of white Americans test for immigrants to leave or illegal aliens. When white Americans are actually the illegal immigrants. We find that funny. America is made up of immigrants. I am sure they know their history. Then they complain about all these illegal aliens. Oh my goodness, Just give them illegal aliens Visa's. Make them work and Pay taxes. It will get you guys out of recession. We find that hilarious. Plus our currency is actually getting stronger than the American Dollar. Well Australian Dollar is. 1 Australian dollar = 1.0642 U.S. dollars Anonymous https://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110609215034AAMou19

I'm not a coward but I can't do it on my own! Either we go together or we fall together. Oh and I almost forgot, this time, it's someone from the Netherlands and she thinks, Americanos are too stupid to rule the world: Why do Europeans hate America? I think because we don’t understand you. We don’t understand your healthcare system, your politics with only two parties to choose from. We don’t understand the big amount of people in your country that deny climate change. We don’t understand how you could vote for a man like Donald Trump. We think you’re stupid, in the way you don’t know anything about the world around you. We think we’re superior in things like design, fashion, food and music. We don’t understand the big cars and houses, and why anyone would like to live in those boring suburbs. We think you’re just too stupid to rule the world. I know those things are clichés, and lots of Americans aren’t like this. But this is what we see on television, and on the internet, for example in the stupid questions some Americans ask on Quora. And I think we like those clichés, because it makes us feel superior, in the way we are healthy, stylish and environmental conscious. Europeans hate America, to make them feel more love for their own continent, although most people don’t feel connected with the continent, and most Europeans don’t hate America.

Why doesn't the world destroy them, WHY!? Are you cowards or something!? You don't seem to have any problem condemning them when they invade this and that and murder these people over here and those people over there and yet when tasked to do something, you give me excuses?

You should run for politics, become Prime Minister and sever ties with the US.

Every time I read such comments, I remember the fat Winston Churchill...... It wasn't until Britain was attacked that everyone believed him. Before that, he was constantly laughed at. Ma'am, may I ask what would Canada do if they decided to invade another country and then and another and another and another and all the meanwhile murdering millions of people? Would Canada blindly follow them to the abyss?

All countries have committed crimes I'm sure but there are others who have committed so much that something has to be done...... they have to be stopped and they have to be stopped soon! Otherwise there will be no more Canada, there will be no more Europe, there will be no more Earth!

I don't believe that.

Because you are racist; there can be no intelligent argument with you. You want to limit or probably, deep down, ban immigrants, aka minorities, in a land that is not yours and in which foreigners have built! You judge immigrants on hearsay, pointing out that they are the cause of most of the problems in Canada and that white people are simply victims. That is racist right there and for all we know, most of these problems could be caused the white people. You can, just don't say it out in public otherwise you would be ostracized. No..... with your racist agendas, everyone is right to fight you. Since when has that happened in Canada? I'm pretty sure if it did, Canada would be up in arms. Maybe you say these things because you never tasted real dictatorship, real tyranny, starvation, poverty, disease, a truly corrupt government who blatantly and shamelessly uses your tax dollars to go shopping in New York, buying cars in Germany and/or holidaying in Canada..... you know...... things that you and your neighbor are great at setting up? And please stop with the "It's going to happen to Canada real soon" speech. There you, you finally admitted it..... "I am pretty sure that I speak for many who have the same opinions and points of view that I have." I don't think so sir because if that were the case...... you wouldn't be losing.

Because you believe that majority of Canadians are with you on your racist laws and agendas. You believe that they want what you want when that is not the case and you get angry and you start pointing fingers.! "In Canada the minority rule and the majority must accept what the minority wants and desires." Blame the minorities, blame politicians, blame innocent people. What you want is not democracy, you want a dictatorship that is ran by people who have the same mentality as you do and again, you get angry when you don't get what you want.

Is it not the duty of morally superior or noble people to stop evil as well? This whole "the US is too powerful to be stopped" is unacceptable, if that's your first response. Has it not occurred to you that if you let them do evil things now, they will continue to do evil things..... forever? So, Europeans of the world and Canadians as well..... you love to criticize their foreign policy, their invasions, their murdering of peoples all over the world........... explain to me why you haven't done anything to stop them?

As I said..... good luck to you..... I will miss our conversations despite of these arguments.

You can insult me all you want but your master's days are numbered. Choose the right side for you family's sake. Again, good luck to you and your family.

No he was not. I believe.... I know he was serious. He wants the US gone as much as the world does. I feel sorry for both you and taxme and that other European guy........ you 3 are clearly descent people.... well except for taxme who is a racist but....... I just hope that one day, when that day comes, you will choose the right side and nothing bad happens to any of you and your families. Remember, Churchill was laughed at when he said that Germany was not an aggressor.
