    Default Why do people hate Americans?

    Is the title of a book I saw in Borders today. I didn't have time to look at it and can find no reviews in the net.

    Anybody read it?

    No, but if I can encourage you to read another book that is really informative and probably better on this matter.

    Values for a new millennium by Robert L. Humphrey, J.D.

    (Don't mind the cheezy 80's cover oh, I guess the 80's is back in style!)

    Dr. Humphrey was a graduate of Wisconsin University, Harvard Law School, and the Fletcher School of Diplomacy.

    He covers Cross-Cultural affairs, how to create and understand Cross-Cultural Harmony, and much much more.

    I really loved it and understand better the name "ugly americanism".

    This book really gave me a great perspective of the world.

    If you want more information on Dr Humphrey and possibly order the book
    check it out on http://www.winjutsu.com


    I don't think you can order this anywhere else.

    Funny activity for someone who hates people - carrying on discussions with them on message boards. Maybe you don't hate them as much as you think.

    Well Betty, I cannot seem to decipher some of your post. It would be most helpful if you could write in complete sentences. Also, please try using correct grammar. Thanks.

    Are you trying to start a political fight? This type of post is a perfect example of why the politics portion of the board was deleted. I'll also finish with a quote. "I think that we should be men first, and subjects afterward." -Henry David Thoreau

    Not so late that we didn't save your country, otherwise you would be speaking German (I presume that the gibberish you wrote in your reply was English, but the lack of sentence structure, punctuation, etc., makes me wonder).

    I have never met a Brit that I didn't like, but for you I will make an exception. Considering that the majority of the members on this site ARE American, many are veterans of the US military, and most are strongly patriotic, I would learn to moderate your tone sonny, otherwise you may find your welcome here very shortlived.
