Why does everyone hate America?

Maybe it's because we're indolent and good for nothing bums.

Ok, maybe not everybody. But seriously. In what other country would you be able to ask your teacher (impolitely, i might add) why the subject at hand is relevant to society? In almost ANY other country, that would get a smack in the face or at least a detention. In fact, many foreigners would also give you a smack in the face for saying that as well. Why? Because many immigrants (even the illegal ones) come here to get a better life, to learn and to work. And what do Americans do? Complain. Don't do shit. Sit around and wait for the magic fairies to do all the work. Then complain some more.

And then we all wonder why every other country hates the US. It's because we want EVERYTHING with little to no work.

Not to be stereotypical of Asians, but why is it that they are (usually) straight A students? It has nothing to do with the rice content of their blood, rather the fact that their parents (who are most likely immigrants) kick their ass if they don't. And plus, these people mostly have respect for the elderly that Americans do not.

And I'm not trying to have a racist rant here either. I'm just spitting out a few facts that you all can't deny. It doesn't just apply to Asians and Asian-Americans. It applies to most foreigners who come to the US for the "American Dream". It applies to Mexicans. It applies to Africans. It applies to Italians. It applies to EVERY walrus on the face of the Earth that isn't American.

That also isn't to say that ALL Americans fit this mold. There's PLENTY of Americans studying and working their ass off to get a few dollars. But the fact is that there aren't NEARLY enough of them. And that's why countries hate us so much: we're ignorant, lazy and pathetic. Myself included.

Mind you this is coming from the person who dislikes the school system almost as much as he hates the Federal Reserve system.

All I'm saying is that maybe instead of turning our Ipods on at full blast and watch horrible TV sitcoms we should give a book a chance. Maybe draw something. Take a walk. Study a little more. Stop writing blogs and go finish your English homework.

Oh shit...I have English homework?
