being a genius, my opinion is pretty much fact so don't argue it.

in a nutshell, due to all the attention america recieves throughout the world, a lot of people become rather opinionated about it (and a large majority of the time its a negative opinion).

the reason it is negative is because most of the time, foreign people who don't like where they live need an excuse not to desire living in the US because it makes it a bit easier to cope with. LOL! Crazy, isn't it.

shit, if i lived in some typical joe schmoe country and i heard of a country called USA, "Land of the free", where all the movie stars / famous people live, shit i'd wanna be over there myself too. but realistically most people won't make it there, so to make reality more comfortable, they distort their perceptions of the US in a negative manner.

usually with anything in life, if a person / thing recieves a ton of attention whether it be negative or positive - it possesses one of 2 qualities. its either really kickass / hip n' happenin / up tight n' outta site (which is generally the case), or its a terrible mean massive bully.

and for most people who dislike the US, they know its a really kickass place to live (depending on where you go of course), but its easy to follow the bandwagon and hate on something for the sake of making reality a bit better.
