Most Americans do not care about Europe. Even those who emigrated (like myself) have only vague interest in the old continent besides family and childhood friends.
I can only speak for myself, but I think most of us who emigrated feel the same way. We left Europe and other parts of the world to get away from socialism, oppression and collectivism. We rather not dwell on the grey past we left.
Europeans on the other hand, are obsessed with us to a degree bordering insanity.
It's not a "pissing contest." In terms of power and influence, that contest was long ago won by America. If it was an on-going contest, the interest would be there among Americans. It is not.
I think it boils down to this: Massive insecurity and self-doubt by Europeans.

Its your foreign policy we dont like:
Overthrowing democratically elected leaders, installing and supporting dictators, bias toward Israel, using lies to start wars, supporting and training terrorists, backstabbing, bribing, extortion etc etc

@loweyes You nailed it. And much of it originates in what you described as "bias toward Israel". I will take it a step further, America is the action arm of Israel in terms of military action, covert operations, wallstreet control of world banking and finally media propoganda. I guess that I am saying that if you took away the jewish dominance in America, the majority of anti-americanism would disappear.

Im not sure how I feel about taking away the jewish dominance in America, but I do 100% agree that America is the action arm of Israel. Israel does not conduct any military action ect without OKAYing it with the US first. If the US wasn't standing behind Israel, then the jews would have bombed Iran months ago. But the US can't afford another war right now, not with the economy, election ect.

Hey, most Europeans love a lot of things about the US
This post feels a little bit over-sensitive and...hurt
Ripping the piss out of other countries is a right we all have, and the US yes, does present rather a large target
But we all get taken down, the Brits are mocked as well as respected world over for our quirks...its ok, we get the joke

1st of all this is not how most europeans think obout the usa, not here in Norway anyway,we know whats wrong i America but we also know whats good.
the ^problem^ is that most european media is objective.To be honest thats how media should be, not controlled by the goverment ore political parties,that again are controlled by big corporations.
so for my case and meny others this video is wrong.
^^^And like ^ohyeh^ said we dont envy you we pity you :( ^^^ is actually right, ur in a hell of a corup More..

@SlingShoT
This cut & Paste is from the book:
Bruce Bawer: "Hating America"
I moved from the U.S. to Europe in 1998, and Ive been drawing comparisons ever since. Living in turn in the Netherlands, where kids come out of high school able to speak four languages, where gay marriage is a non-issue, and where book-buying levels are the worlds highest, and in Norway, where a staggering percentage of people read three newspapers a day and where respect for learning is reflected even More..

@USA1 "press freedom is distinctly more circumscribed in the U.K. than in the U.S."
Lmao! Yes, cutting people off mid sentence because the news network doesn't agree with them; that's the US, not the UK.

Like it or not G.W.Bush pissed off a lot of people in the world, particularly in Europe. His diplomatic ineptitude really got on everyone's nerves!

@Hazel_Nut
Very well said Hazel.
There is so much anti-liberal stuff on here its incredible. They have actually tried to make the Nazi's look left wing!!!
Can't people see that having an opposing point of you does not mean you are trying to take away your freedom.
Start acting like grown ups instead of children.

@weadone Right. I'm happy people around the world are pissed off at us. We should not be meddling in peoples affairs. These asshole politicians do NOT represent me or my friends. Eventually it is going to have to be stopped.
