I am sorry that I made it seem that I was making a generalization, I meant that quite a few people living in the middle east hate America
also, you own a computer, meaning that you are probably part of the upper crust of middle eastern society (unless you live in israel, in which case you aren't really in the middle east), and part of a rather small minority of people living in your country.
I am middle class actually, also, a lot of people here own computers (at least in Egypt), but it's ok, I wasn't trying to attack you or suggest you were making a generalization :).
If you would like to go live in Iran, come back to America, and compare your experiences with voicing your opinion, be my guest. Have fun being executed if you are homosexual and jailed if you are someone who doesn't support the government.
Do you have ANY idea how great Americans have it? Do you have ANY idea why so many people dream of immigrating to America? It is because it is viewed by many who are oppressed by their government as a beacon of hope, freedom, and opportunity.
Hai thar :p, America obviously has flaws, but it is better then a lot of other places.

I meant no harm to you or your brother. But any country that used chemical warfare on it's own troops( they wanted to test it on Aussie troops first) doesn't need help to be hated

You got e-pwnt. There's really no way around it.
Conversely, saying America is the beacon of light in an otherwise dark world makes you look just as stupid.
Seconds later.
It is because it is viewed by many who are oppressed by their government as a beacon of hope, freedom, and opportunity.

so they just burn American flags for fun? (I'm not talking about the world in general, I'm talking about the middle east, and yes, they do hate us there)

Do you have ANY idea how great Americans have it? Do you have ANY idea
why
so many people dream of immigrating to America? It is because it is viewed by many who are oppressed by their government as a beacon of hope, freedom, and opportunity.
I do not want to live in Iran, I do think that Iran should be just as well off economically as we are, and I think that requires absolutely no military action to be achieved.
and people want to move to america because the poorest of the poor here are richer than the average person in their country.
I do not think we should force the people of any country to change, I think the only good way to bring about change is to provide support and through negotiation and persuasion, not violence, violence should be reserved for defense.
I am not saying I admire those countries, I am saying that I do not see america as being all good, or all bad, and that I realize that people in other countries often dislike us.
edit: AShelmy, Egypt is not in the middle east, it is in Africa, which has its own problems
Actually, I don't want to move there because of money, at all. It's just that my country has zero interest in science, and everything here is just..difficult. And what Kathbrian said.

Well Procul, I wish your brother good luck fighting for our country. I'd hate to have my younger brother in a war, life on the line. I just hope he doesn't have anything... Bad, happen. My 7th grade teacher had a friend in Iraq for 3 months, and one day he came in seeming a bit different. He then announced that his friend was shot by a sniper in Iraq.
War is truly a terrible thing...

It is now officially the biggest thread in Randomness and Wowhead as a whole!
We like to thank the Academy...
How do you people find discussing that more important?
