Anti Americanism in Western Europe

Read this now -Very Interesting Washington Post Article On Anti-Americanism In Western Europe

It blows me away how blindly prejudiced and ignorant some people can be. Especially highly educated people, who you expect to be the least ignorant!

i dont find this to be true the more educated some are the more blind to the truth
its not always the case

I live in western europe, I am not anti-american I'm only against some parts of american foreign policy.

You guys tend to judge every tiny bit of criticism as being anti-american but that's not true.

"Highly educated" is meaningless when it comes to things like "common sense." In fact, "highly educated" often means "highly insulated from life and brainwashed by others in the same boat."

Word. A lot of Americans seem to have a great deal of difficulty making that distinction.

The same could be said of Europeans.

I wonder if anti-Europeanism in the US is more prevailent than anti-Americanism in Europe. One has to only surf a bit around these forums to see the kind of blind, ignorant, baseless hatered of all things European from many Americans. Exactly the same hatred that the article describes, only in reverse.

 

[WinkOsmosis]

I don't see any Europeans posting threads whining about American anti Europeanism....

Actually, there are far more anti-american threads than the anti-european threads.

I doubt that. Haven't you notice how when some european nation does something the US doesn't like someone posts about it. Then 50 ignorant "me too"s quickly post about how bad the eurotrash commies are. Quite sad really...

There are a few now, yes. But there is a steady supply from hate America crowd.

I thought that was a pretty good article.......

I myself, know nothing. This is why I find it difficult to see who is really biased. I see all theses fools everywhere I go, millions and millions of them, educated, ignorant, sophisticated naive. They all know and I don't know anything at all. It's a bitch. I can't blame anybody because I keep thinking maybe Joe's wrong and Pete's right and then I think, well maybe it's the other way. Sometimes I even think they might both be right and then I think well no, but maybe they are both wrong. Damn, all I want is somebody to be wrong so I can blame them. I have all this hate stored up inside me. I gotta dump on somebody, but I don't know who. I'm not like you. I don't know anything and don't know who to blame. What's wrong with me. Why am I not right, like you.

Yup, disagree with a war and you are anti-american and most probably a communist Hussein lover... The biggest america basher i've seen around here is Canadian, but that is easy to forget when you think about the "french cowards" and "the axis of weasels"...

I just love how people who's parents weren't even thought of back then claim that "you" rebuilt Europe...

You want to go back in time? what is the limit? you do realize that you would be brittish if it was not for france?

How'd I know a dick like you would quote me on something so mundane. Of course I didn't mean my family rebuilt Europe but I say 'we' as in fellow Americans.

EDIT: Didn't America rebuild Europe?

If you disagree with the removal of Saddam, you are:

1. foolish to think inspections will work after 12 years of failed inspections
2. Or you want Saddam to stay in power and keep its people oppressed.

You can do either of these without being a Hussein lover or a communist.

Yes, of course... and didn't the Europeans build the US?
