Why do some of you hate America so much? What has happened that makes you want to bash us so much?
Is it because we?re a capitalistic country that offers a secure and profitable existence? Or is it because you?re jealous of our success?
Regardless, it?s pretty pathetic.

Odd - the countries speaking out against the US are nations like Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, etc.
All but Saudi Arabia are democracies, so they're unlikely to be jealous of the 'free' system of US government.
Saudi Arabia has a higher standard of living than the US, so they're unlikely to be jealous of US consumerism.
Virtually all of the western world leads a secure and profitable existance, so that arguement falls flat.
