[Politics] Why is the world's opinion different than America's?

[Letmesleep]

Not bending to Israel is not the same as hating Jews. Unlike America, Europe has some dignity left when it comes to human rights.

Take torture and assissination and inprisonment without trial and weight that against not allowing people to freely perform racist hate speeches.

Hmmm.. hm....

Deflected! 10/10.

Edit: Just in case it wasn't completely obvious, that was sarcasm. Next you'll be outlawing lying, infidelity, and anything that makes people sad.

LOL, the BBC is so laughably biased when it comes to stuff like israel. I don't know what it is about liberals and hating the jews, but they seem to do it everywhere.

Pakistan is supposedly an "ally" but they're really just pissed that O keeps allowing drone strikes in their country.

Global economies are entwined, but the majority of people are not "sane" when it comes to economics. They're generally morons about, why do you see country after country going broke?

Also, Netanyahu is super awesome. It is wise to have him and his party in power during this trying time.

Isreal does not equal Jews. They are a country with a large Jewish population. Not Judaism itself. There are a great number of Jews who abhor the way Israel is violating the basic human rights of the palestinians. To agree is not to be anti-semitic. It's simply opening your eyes to the atrocities being committed by our ally.

There's no honor in supporting a tyrant.

Agree, we should totally make it illegal to be unhappy! As soon as we put into law that every citizen are entitled to a lifetime(wont be long) dose of LSD and morphine. Where do I sign?

I remember a bit from the Daily Show where Stewart showed footage from the US congress where they were all busy brown nosing israel. Then he played a sound bit of different people speaking against the way Israel is heading - then showed the footage, it was from Israels Parliament itself.

I've never heard of this website until today. Which means that it was probably shared on a targeted basis in order to deliberately produce biased results.

"You do not share my views so you are biased".

Well. If you only watch fox "news", this is no surprise...

wow this thread is fun to read

some ideas are very interesting and mildly ignorant *cough*

With regards to the main topic, since i can imagine it quickly went off topic multiple times, so this may have already been said.

America appears to be VERY right wing with regards to their politics, while alot of the rest of the world being slightly left. The centre-right wing parties in Europe are probably more like the American left, and the right (UKIP rather than the BNP for example) are probably more like the American Right Wing Parties.

Why is the world's opinion different than America's?

Uh... Because the rest of the world kicked us out? Isn't that kind of how we, or are ancestors, became "Americans" in the first place? So of course they'll have different opinions. We were never part of their "clique," to begin with.

Fixed tittle for ya.
Asking why the other 95% of the world has a different opinion than yours...
