  • Americans are friendlier to people of other nationalities than they are to us. It's very popular right now to be anti-American. I would be considered by other Americans to be liberal-moderate, but even I am aware how critical other nations are of us. When they aren't being insulting they are being condescending like "we don't all hate you". Gee thanks. So Americans should just not care what others think because none of these other nations care about what we think of them.

  • @Brawn601 For example, the SAME British person that will criticize America for our military actions will turn around and in the very next breath brag about how they used to be this huge world empire. So he/she will criticize our military, than boast about their FORMER military! It's really rather idiotic. If we STOPPED CARING, they would seek our approval! Look how offended the British got when Obama tried to give back the bust of Churchill! They were all like "We are your best allies".

  • Most americans (like myself) don't care if someone doesn't like us. It's just like a brush off the shoulder, or as they might say...well idk what they say lol cherrio?

  • Cool, want to get married?

  • MY FELLOW AMERICANS!!! STOP TALKING SHIT ON THIS GUY, apparently you dont understand what this man is saying. He doesnt hate Americans he is just saying that the Americans he sees on the T.V. are the ass wholes who give us a bad name , You know thats not all of us. There are some STUPID Americans yes but you know we all dont live the rich life like the "kardashions" so what im saying is dont take it seirously until someone has meet you the wont know what your like

  • @camelwidesrule I live a rich life, does that mean I suck?

  • @BrycesVGames hahaha no sir im just sayin that not all people in America are bad, rich or not there are some really good people in America. And all around the world

  • @camelwidesrule

    You see though.

    All these people who either spew hate before listening.

    Or simply can't comprehend the point he's trying to make.

    Are why people think american's are stupid.

    And as time goes on.I want to live here less and less.

  • @Skeletonwitharaygun I understand that, but personally I love this Country. And i wouldnt leave even if i had to.i know what you mean about how people just won't listen, and say what they want to.And i dont want that from our Country

  • hey bobomcgraw il take some tea and crumpits along with you kissing my ass. atleest we work here in america. and MLGPHANTOM007 has a great point. you guys don't work hard so all you do is cry about our lives. u guys needa just live your life. and stop complaining

  • Why do we care what an annoying hippie thinks?

  • Like most Americans, I have super powers, mine happens to be a 6th sence, enviantion, and that power is just the best, 72% of Americans have it which generates the, I dont give a fuck, we have triumphed over every obstacle the wolrd has thrown in our way attitude, which forces me to say fuck you, who the fuck cares what you think, and finally thanks for the laugh , oh and god bless (enviation- to sence the envy and jealousy in the words of haters) Yea im American so i can invent words at will :P

  • You look like one of those preppy types thats always causing trouble here in USA

  • ummmm go back to your cat fag

  • I'm glad to see a video like this. As an American studying linguistics, I want to point out that every language has its redundancies and unclear meanings. It's enough to give me nightmares for 5 lifetimes. I do understand what you're trying to say though. "Love" and "hate" can be overused and over-simplified... but I also think people's feelings are typically strong and don't reflect a higher, available vocabulary. Just my opinion. ;)

  • I don't understand your argument behind hating Americans because of the language. Do they not speak English in Ireland anymore? I don't see how you feel justified in making that statement just because you're unable to communicate in a way that people understand.

    I get that you don't like the snotty rich American kids visiting--I don't really like them either. But most of us aren't in that category. I work full time, live in a crappy apartment, and scrape by. Few Americans like George Bush.

  • HAHAHA.....I honestly think you are to smart for your own good. and of all the places to post a video about your stupid complaints with americans....why youtube???like 70% of youtube users are americans?? I can see why it would be so easy for you post a video like this because you live in Ireland. What you described in this video is not at all similar to where i live. Also, are you saying that your view of americans is "bad" because of our language.

  • does anyone else find that he kinda looks like orlando bloom?

  • @MvsicStvdio LOL no :p

  • Hey, is that the 8-track quadraphonic stereo that I threw away back in 1974? Keep the goddamn cat off of the thing, and if I left the Billy Preston tape in there, get ahold of me for an address to send it back to.

  • Hey, what's all the California hating from the viewers?? okay so I'm a Californian, much older than you (and from the sound of some of the comments, older than many of your viewers as well) anyway, I hear what your saying and it makes sense to me. Sounds like your open minded and understand that all Americans can't be painted with a wide brush... just like any other nationality. Keep working through it, as we all should, hopefully we'll get it right.

  • fuck u man :) ever :(

  • Comment removed

  • Yeah, the American language is surprisingly pretty complex for no reason but it seems that they have their reasons for it(Maybe). I got love for America, I'm an American but, I do too still got problems with the country. Plus, Americans, from other descents, can be ignorant but, you can only be ignorant to something you don't know. But, anyway, you seem like a cool kind of guy from Ireland(Ireland, right?) and you're ideas of america are pretty fair. So yeah, that's my opinion, Good day 2 U.

  • can i have some tea and crumpets please.!? LOL.

  • @Al123456ize Excuse me?

  • @bobomcgraw i think you read it nice and clear.

  • @bobomcgraw i think you read it nice and clear.

  • @Al123456ize I was enquiring as to the point you were trying to make.

  • @Al123456ize Dumbass, he's not even British.

  • Here in America, we work hard, we shoot shit, live life, and have a cold beer, if you have a problem with that, like most un-hard working liberal pieces of shit, then you can go and live in California or the UK. Liberal Territory.

  • @MLGPHANTOM007 So California isn't part of the US now?

  • @bobomcgraw ...actually, no, not since they let the cockroaches from Mexico take over.....California can fuck off!!

  • @bobomcgraw practically... it is been invaded by illegal immigrants.. it should honestly be renamed New New Mexico

  • @bobomcgraw Ignore MLGPHANTOM007, he's obviously semi-retarded.

  • @bobomcgraw No, he doesn't like that California is "liberal".

  • @bobomcgraw Never has been...California is another planet....its also like bowl of granola...you take out the fruits and nuts all you got left is the flakes!

  • @bobomcgraw alot of people think californians are lazy but we are not

  • @bobomcgraw Just ignore him, he's a redneck. They don't count.

  • @bobomcgraw it is but we dont really claim it as ours unless its spring vaca time. hahaha

  • @MLGPHANTOM007 Dude i live in california and it is INFESTED with retarded liberals. you are right it is liberal territory :O i am a proud republican! :)

  • @MLGPHANTOM007 LOL Conservative retard. Gonna go try to take away my rights and control abortions some more? Ignorant waste of resource.

  • @MonsieurSleng Yesh nd you libtards want to take my hard earned money to fund your bullshit government programs!

  • @MLGPHANTOM007

    STFU You dolt.

    The shit you said is beyond retarded and you shouldn't feel like your the voice of america with that moronic diarrhea spewing out of your mouth(or finger tips)

  • @MLGPHANTOM007 You said it boss!!! USA!!!

  • @MLGPHANTOM007 You said it boss!!! USA!!!

  • @MLGPHANTOM007 OMFG, STFU. People like you give Americans a bad reputation so please, stfu

  • If you dislike the English language and it's inability to perform communication such as you would like, then pick a Celtic language, or whatever and just get on with it. And bloody well stop using 'you know' with every other word.

  • Technically when you say you hate America you are hating on two continents. You might think No i'm hating on a country but your wrong. Think about it.... North AMERICA and South AMERICA.

  • I hate Irish Cunts.

  • fucking lazy ass get a book america is a continent wtf.... w, this people god why u send w, this people

  • Correction..It's not the Americans you hate its the people from the US! America is the entire continent and not only this country ok.

  • 289 people obviously clicked dislike before actually watching, because of the title

  • @spazzyvalgal I agree with them X]

  • This is so true. Every ignorant person should watch this.

  • nice pussy

    

  • i agree with you bobomcgraw, i love where I'm from and the people that make up my community. But i hate it when a select few make me embarrassed to be an American.

  • lolololololololololololololol.­.... the cat hit himself XD

  • Most american language you might hear sounds trite, but that may be because you aren't well-versed in vocabulary (or they). Tell me what flap-doodle means without googling it and I'll take that back.

  • You are obviously a thoughtful, intelligent person, and cognizant of the notion of good and bad existing in any geopolitical dynamic. Is it that you like good people and dislike bad? If good and bad people exist in America, the same must then be true of all other nations. I like the Irish because of the good that exists there, but you hate Americans because of the bad that exists there. Don't all people of good will object to evil, wherever they find it? We all want the same things.

  • Americans speak English, it's "Americanisms" and perhaps slang which you speak of and not everyone does this. I have lived in Europe, been to the UK and while I could understand southern I had a harder time with English slang and more local terms, which is the same language disparity you are slamming Americans for. Ebonics, well thats another story.

    Did I not write this in clear and proper "English diction"? Talk to the kids about your language complex, its the same in your country isnt it?

  • Comment removed

  • Why U hate amerika?! :O Jk this is why I watch an entire video before I comment. Interesting insight. I hate the way the media portrays Americans. The fact is, most of us aren't overweight or crazy rednecks who hate anything unamerican. Although, we do joke that way a lot.

  • Gringo

  • I stopped at 2 minutes. We have these things called adjectives... such as for snow, melting snow, snow hard as ice, etc...

  • I don't think there's a problem with the language, I think its just you. You are TERRIBLE at making a point.

  • How can you hate Americans? Have you met them all?

  • No worries dude, I'm sure American's hate people who hate them, so its mutual hatred so just don't stay or go to America, Saudi Arabia would Love to have you around.

  • @LightYagame1 1: Bad Grammar, 2: Racist.

  • i hope u die

  • nice handprints dudes

  • I only watched about half of your video. I get the impression you don't like Americans. That's OK, neither does the rest of the world. But if your country is ever attacked I'll be there to keep you and yours from being violated. That's why we're hated by so many. Always putting our nose where it does not belong.

  • @billwho62 No you won't be because America doesn't have the money to pay for another war, your in a recession lol.

  • @billwho62 Like in Vietnam. Destroy the non-beleivers.

  • omg a pedifile hehehehe

  • @TheDanny5923 A what? Don't you mean Paedophile, if you're blindly going to try and insult someone at least have firstly have a reason to call them one, of which you have absolutely no reason lol.

    Secondly spell it correctly fucking uneducated imbecile.

  • Inuits are not American

  • FUCK THE AMERICAN DREAM

  • theres nothing wrong with the language. theres a difference between what a word really means and how it becomes acceptable to use it. spoiled rich ppl suck no matter if theyre american or not but u must not know the REAL rich @ssholes make up less than 5% of the ppl in our country. no one but them are rich these days. it seems like half the country is on unemployment. also, we must not be powerful if the standing of the euro controls our financial rating and our oil is foreign.

  • I have no idea what's you're saying but I know u're absolutely right, just didn't have the time to focus on what u say, sorry.

  • rich, ya i wish i was rich here! a lot of us are hard working and don't get crap :/

  • Kitty!!! :D

  • u have a delightful Irish accent. I'm from Texas, and, unfortunately, I can't do a very good Irish accent, even though I'm half-Irish (of Irish descent or heritage, that is) on my mother's side. And, yeah, look into how to vote while overseas! Keep on vloggin', and let us all know how the voting thing goes, K? I'm old enough to be ur father, so big, Texas-size ((HUG))...And (1) yes, Rick Perry is an embarrassment (as was Dubya), (2) yes, Ron Paul is cool, (3) but so is Scott Keller (FB pg.)

  • I LIKE YOUR CAT

  • I kind of agree with a lot of the Americans-who-hate-americans. I really don't like the prejudice here, I really don't like the economy and our ability (or lack thereof) to take care of everyone. It's very crappy, to be honest. Although I'm sure it could be a lot worse in other countries, but right here, right now, it's not that great, and I do hate it. (Glad to see other Americans do too xD )

  • English has as many words for snow as Eskimo language look it up. I don't feel bad for America because of President Bush either.If we make foreign policy decisions based solely on how our neighbors will like us we are fools! If we see a man killing a deer,we might think it barbaric! But if it was 100 years ago we would think no such thing! The point is,this world is dangerous,people want to kill us! And to protect your children you will do what you have to ,not what will make my neighbor like me

  • I don't hate what America stands for (Freedom For All), but I do hate most of the people, like everyone is only worried about money, and how low the standards have become in America.

  • I was working on my book, which has an Irish character (needs A LOT of work), and I stumbled across this video (even though it's from 2007). First off, you're cute. Second off, this video is actually kind of really helpful for me so just wanted to say that. I'm American and I also hate America, but it's probably because of the prejudice. Can't have dark skin in this country AND be poor AND be a female. It's like multiple jeopardy. But anyhow, great video.

  • @JDKirklandWriter yeah i agree that socially its hard. But if you are a minority, poor or a female you can get a full ride to college. I'm not racist, I'm actually native and we are given grants after high school to spend to go to college but many people i know just waste it and don't go to college. but i understand that there are complicated situations.

  • @sillyjontag321 Oh yeah, I know. I'm a junior in college (but using financial aid, of course) and graduated Salutatorian from college, which--according to them--was some big accomplishment. But I totally see what you're saying. ^__^

  • @JDKirklandWriter that's awesome! and yeah that's not easy, congrats :)

  • why don't you renounce your US citizenship if you have a problem with America or Americans?

  • potatoe eater

  • whats with the hands on the wall xD

  • haha your a fucking american!

  • So the English language totally involved America and only America. Because we're totally the only country that speaks English.

  • You make many great points, my friend.

  • A lot of people hates us way before G. W. Bush was president in 2001. However, Bush as president made everyone pretty acceptable to bash us even more. But for more points since the USSR ended, many of the world resented us. I know i lived in the 1990s and that time.

  • Holy fuck I thought your cat fell headfirst when I heard the thump O_O

  • Hate us, love us, or whatever, but you'll turn to us in your time of need. And we'll forgive and help you! Btw ,if you were to say "I hate 'some' Americans", we would understand! So, as we tell our children, "use your words".

  • honestly, you are ridiculous..complaining that the english language has too much of this and not enough of that.. and then somehow it relates to disliking Americans for it? what a twat, why don't you isolate yourself on a little island so you don't have to speak to anyone in English.

  • ha the cat!

  • Seriously I stoped about half way through this vid but the basic gist that I got from the begining of the vid was that english is confusing, and tourist our a pain in the ass. Which is a sentiment that the entire world shares. Americans don't understand the language either. LoL

  • this guy is the steppen wolf

  • this video is gay

  • what a cute accent

  • Hipster. Hmmmm how American is that?

  • Wow! I have been abroad to several countries and am goign to Spain in the winter. I have worked hard and saved my money to earn the privalege of doing so. I really hope that people don't think that I am spoiled little child- when the opposite is true!

  • if those handprints on your wall were red.. id be worried..

  • Alot of Americans were sexually, physically or verbally abused as children by their Euro nannies in the decades after WW2. . Americans took in countless Europeans, and families left fatherless by the war would have a Euro nanny while the mother worked. This was especially true in the lower classes. I had two childhood friends that committed suicide when they became teenagers because they were abused by their nannies. I'm afraid of Europeans myself, I've been abused by enough of them.

  • programme vs program and centre vs center

  • Is he kidding with English? English has more words than any other language in the world. Has he studied any other languages? The complaint he has about a word like love having different meanings exists in most all languages. In French 'aimer' can be translated as like or love depending on context just as one small example. The reason the Eskimos have 20 words for snow is because they're surrounded by it constantly. I imagine there might be African languages that have no words for it.

  • @jab3785 Then why don't we [americans] have 20 words for "stupid"? Or "fat"? ;)

  • IM SORRY I COULDNT HEAR YOU VERY WELL AND MY VOLUME WAS TURNED UP^ ! I THINK ITS BKUZ MY COMPUTER WAS MADE IN AMERICA AND YOUR SUCKIE ASS MIC WAS MADE IN BRITIAN

  • i hate americans fuck america hell yea

  • you think to much on words dude, been there done that .. you're an over thinker & btw you said many words describing snow also LOL

  • There are well mannered americans then there are ill mannered americans... the same as anywhere else... its good that you voice your opinion so others may try to understand why someone would say such a thing instead of discarding it and replying with hate messages; we must listen... like philosophy we must study all theories to reveal revelations

  • you and me both babe...you and me both... I hate snotty rich kids, lol!

  • Sorry if my countrymen have offended you. The point is that there are many rude people over here and around the world. Our society is a society based more and more on materialism every year, which you will discover if you watch any American programs for even a dayare. There are enlightened people in America, but sadly they are few and far between, and the media gives most of the attention to the ignorant ones.

  • a civil war and a war of independence lol sadddd fighting each other

  • @rosdos100 Do you even know what people mean when they talk about a war of independence?

  • @bobomcgraw its called a revolution dipshit yuppie!

  • @StartContaversy1 No, just no.

  • @bobomcgraw its a revolution.

  • @bobomcgraw yeah they fought the british. that aint a war, shits easy

  • @rosdos100 Comments like this make me die a little.

  • No offense but its kind of scary that you can vote for president when you don't remember living here.

  • You do know which nationality made youtube right?

  • Wow... you hated Americans, but now you don't hate ALL of them. Hmm.... OK. I guess that's cool. Maybe one day I can visit Dublin... but after this vid... I'm thinking not. Didn't realize how much hatred there was for us over there. Good luck in your next war.

  • @imtxsmoke The last war Ireland was involved in as our civil war, before that it was our war of independence.

    Neither of those relied on American aid or intervention.

  • @bobomcgraw Your war of Independence and Frances was inspired by the American revolution.

  • @bobomcgraw Eamon DeValera moved to Ireland from America. There was also huge support from America in regard to the New Departure. Also, many of the weapons used by the violent revolutionaries in the Anglo-Irish war actually were provided by America. Prior to that much of the IRA/IRB had little more than sticks. In fact, many of the group pictures taken of the early 20th century Irish rebels included people shouldering gun-shaped tree branches. I love Irish history, and I am American.

  • @bobomcgraw Eamon de Valera actually came to America seeking the aid of American sympathizers, around the same time Micheal Collins was on his way to Parliament. For the record: I am not ragging on you, simply correcting the idea that America had little to do with Ireland. To imtxsmoke: we can't even win our own wars currently. How in the hell are we supposed to help anyone; if you are implying Ireland will get no help from us in their next war?

  • @bobomcgraw lol what would you have done if america didn't join the second world war?

  • @imtxsmoke I've been to Dublin, and they treat us like anyone else. Don't let this one moron make you feel unwelcome.

  • @imtxsmoke Actually we save your arses america not the other way round

  • @imtxsmoke Need I bring up Vietnam? I'm Australian. You're welcome.

  • The fact tht you said you hate Americans just shows you can't clear;y get your point across. Am I the only one who sees that?

  • Wow, you are a bore

  • Your kitty is an acroCat

  • funny voice o.o (stupid american)

  • then why don't you just say you hate rich people, that's basically what i get from what your saying

  • And here we see a typical solitary man in his natural habitat, with his cat locked up in his room :P

  • clean your house.... and throw out the 8-track player behind you... then try again

  • I know what you mean, well I think I do, and from what i got out of this I agree. I as an American hate the celebrities and what not, the people that non-Americans see they are stuck up, lazy and they really don't know how to work and I truely have to say I hate the rich residents of America they tend to be lazy andan all around douche bags. Thanks for the semi-positive video... I guess.

  • Your wife is on top of the stereo again -__-

  • i hate your cat and your greasy ass hair!

  • I love America bc I can do things other countries would kill you over. I feel safe. I feel free. i feel as if i can accomplish anything.

  • @LauraLovesClint You can't smoke marijuana in public.

  • @d43m0n1k I dont want to...It's one of the dumbest things a person could do.

  • @LauraLovesClint you are acting like america is the only free country in the world...that is part of what pisses other countries off is that too many americans think that no one else has freedom in the world and that they are oppressed or something.

  • @chucknorrisgawd America is still the best place to live...whether you think so or not. Its the safest and most free. And if it wasnt for America...who knows what would have happened in WWI and WWII

  • @LauraLovesClint you are blinded by patriotism and ignorance

  • British people cant have a accurate opinion of america. I read the BBC and its blatantly biased against america, just look at thei current "special Report".

  • this guy needs to find a girlfriend.

  • I hate americans...and I am american. I going to get out of this country as fast as possible.

  • I really like your accent. And the fact that you seem smarter than the rest of the people that go "bloody Americans. Fat. Arrogant. Stupid..." if you're going to rip on us, at least be original.

    PS. for the record, I'm not fat or stupid. I guess it's not up to me to say whether I'm arrogant.

  • Facepalm means that you should look in DESC of this video

  • I supposed that the reason why we recycle words is because we get most of our meaning in the context that it is used.

  • as an American I am also embarrassed about George Bush

  • The language is confusing because we use words... Gotcha

    We don't need 20 different words to explain the same thing. Snow in the air vs. snow on the ground... It's snow, the variable is the placement, which is why we would say "Falling snow" or "Snow on the ground". Snow that is melting... it's still snow, condensation in the air freezing? Yep, still snow. SNOW = NOUN FALLING/FREEZING = ADJECTIVE. Pretty sure this was back in like 3rd grade...

  • @notusedelsewhere1 Pretty sure falling and freezing are verbs actually.

  • @bobomcgraw Hmmm, yes they are, but they are being used to describe a noun. An adjective can describe a completed status, or an ongoing process. For example, "running shoes", running is a verb, but since it is being used to describe a type of shoe, it's now an adjective. *School bell rings* Have a nice day guys, no home work tonight!

  • @notusedelsewhere1 But running shoes is a noun, you could write it as running-shoes.

  • @bobomcgraw No... SHOES is a noun. It won't matter how you write it. Running-shoes still makes "running" an adjective because it is describing what KIND of shoes. Same with falling snow. Ad a dash, a coma, a colon, a quotation mark, add what ever you want. It's still an adjective when you use it like that. You could change it to HIKING shoes. Work shoes. Jogging shoes. FLYING shoes, hell I don't care. Still won't make a difference.

  • My ancestors came from Ireland. I would love to see it over there. 

  • i agree with you on the love part. people here use it too loosly, not everyone but some people do.

  • cute Kitty

  • KITTY

  • Im american and I agree with you. and Im sorry my fellow americans are giving you crap because they're too lazy to read the description or at least watch your video all the way through too the end.

  • lol people need to not name their vids "i hate americans" if they don't mean it. They end up getting alot of unwarranted dislikes. It seems some people don't even bother to watch the vid, they just skip right to saying "if you hate america blah blah"
