Barry Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 In fact it seems that I'm spending more time around Americans than people of any other nationality in the ex-pat community these days. Do they hate America too? Yeah they hate you because you're free bla blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCorinthian Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Most people do. Oh and that we're tough and rich, too. It is playground politics; everyone hates the biggest boy on the block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disdain rather than hate most of the time. It's because you like to act the bully and have an insidious popular culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian2 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Hate's a right wing word Rog. So silly. Try typing hate into the Google search engine box and see how many liberal/leftist sites come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCorinthian Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 It's because you like to act the bully and have an insidious popular culture. And that is true, too. All part of being the biggest on the block. (Though I do not think "insidious" is the correct word.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogueyam Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 It's because you...have an insidious popular culture. This is quite interesting. It is often charged but rarely explicated. Care to have a go? How in particular is American popular culture distinct from that of Britain, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, and the Netherlands, etc., and in what way do these distinctions render our popular culture uniquely "insidious"?

Faustian Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Hate and the right wing personality....lets see who can make the necessary cognitive relationships between the 2 listed links... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_authoritarianism The original theory from which the above was conceived. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authoritarian_personality Interesting reading for those of us 'non-right wing' types...the right wingers will of course fall into the traps detailed in the RWA personality type...lets see if we know anyone fitting the RWA personality type shall we??? Hmmmm, let me think.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say, and this is just me speaking, that US and UK culture are almost one in the same when you look at it from just about anywhere else.
