What about the American that was stabbed to death by some whacko over there? What about China's treatment of Yao Ming?

They should have never been given the Olympics.

The whole world hates America? You can't be serious. I've been all over the world and have never seen hate.

I guess everyone can have different experiences. My daughter just got back from England and France. She said the French people were the nicest people in the world. She's ready to move there. She also met some people from Australia who were very nice. The English folks were snobbish as usual.

From a political perspective, you're going to get those comments no matter where you go. However, that doesn't mean that they hate Americans.
