Just the opposite. Most countries view Americans in a very negative light. Often times laughing or parodying them. A lot of that is justified. Of course, there are a helluva lot of Americans. And almost all of them are refugees, opportunists, or freedom seekers. Little has changed over the last 300 years.
Stupidest. Post. Ever.
I think Americans worry about America's reputation too much. Dont worry be happy.
Most people in the world donot even care what people of other countries think of them.

good post
I think America's reputation improved while Hillary Clinton was on the campaign trail - popularizing the pant-suit will improve any nation's international standard. If the North Koreans started wearing them, America would institute North Korean day to replace Thanksgiving.
I just repped America....

half or America hates the other half, why should the rest of the world do otherwise?
if someone wants to lump me in a group and macro judge me then theres nothing i can do about it and i won't loose sleep over it. if they micro judge me then they may discover i'm not some big bad fat lazy red white and blue boogie man, but instead i'm someone they'd enjoy having a beer with.
i think the reputation America currently has will take more than one year of a new administration to improve. :2 cents: i think its going to be a very long haul. but if you met me and liked me then there's another half of America you'd probably hate. if you met me and hated me then there's another half of America you'd probably like.
here's what Randy has to say about it: (notice: this song is considered satire. sarcasm seems to be a lost art form as of late, hence the notice.)

^ Satire you say? Seems like the truth to me. :thefingerTo Europe.
Ok, all joking aside. When I was on my honneymoon we where at Charles de Gaulle Airport and each time we had to present our passport to security they would just give us all evil looks. While the rest of our honneymoon was great, everyone we met from Europe were decient and once they found out we were Americans they did not walk out, they actually asked us questions that they were interested in. I met people from Spain, Germany, Italy and Sweden(wow can the sweds drink!).
I look at it this way, every country has people that sterotype that nation. I try to do nothing that would make me stick out like a sore thumb. Learing a few phrases in the native language will go a lot further than people think, and if you butcher the word/phrase they do not get upset.

I'm Canadian, so I like the Americans. However, I am always ready to give pointers on how they can better themselves.

How come everyone forgets that the French kicked Germany's ass in World War I?
