RR,
WHERE is the "poll" this garbage is based on?
If I understand correctly, you googled "most hated countries," found something
that agreed with your perceptions (Israel #2, USA#1), and then, without
checking its source or validity, immediately posted it on the net.
Sadly, this is not the first time you've done similar "research."

Richard,
If you can find another poll that shows different results then by all means
post it.
I found this by googling "most hated countries" and this was the first hit
that came up. I did it because I was curious. The reason why I was curious is
because I have a friend who owns a tour company here in Costa Rica and he
told me that lately tourists from other countries have been expressing how
much they hate Americans. - Costa Ricans don't hate Americans or anybody else
- and he asked me why.
Why are you always so intent upon shooting the messenger? Is it because it
lists Israel as the second most hated country? The reason I listed it is
because I suspect there are similar reasons. Something like 1/3 of the
world's population are Muslims. I don't think Russians have much love for us.
Many Europeans are upset because the sanctions are hurting their economies
more than Russia. A great many Europeans are upset with the flood of
immigrants into their countries caused by the U.S. wars in Iraq, Syria,
Lybia, etc..
Yesterday for the first time the Palestinian flag was raised over the UN.

The only thing that has been stopping the UN from taking action against the
Israeli genocide of Palestinians is Obama's vote.
Yesterday Russia began airstrikes against ISIL in Syria. They will soon be
joined by China and Iran. U.S. airstrikes have only been targeting Assad's
troops, not ISIL. The U.S. has been aiding ISIL, not fighting them.
All this stuff is going on and most American are clueless.

RR,
Are you trying to win the Dumbest Posting of the Year Award?
Beyond its catchy title and graphics, this article is all air. The author
doesn't say how he came up with this list of most hated countries. My guess
is he either stole it (I can't find the source) or he invented it out of
whole cloth, based solely on his personal opinion. I can't say I blame him,
however. After all, according to the abcnewspoint.com website (not to be
confused with the "real" ABC News), authors can earn lots of money (by Third
World standards) for writing this kind of crap:
Program Benefits
$0.50 will be paid at per 500 views for first 30-day after posting.
Payment will be sent automatically via PayPal.
No condition for number (minimum/maximum) of payment.
Post views will be considered in terms of Google analytics.
No limits for work.
Your article can be viewed by numerous visitors.
Maybe you ought to demand that the author share his earnings with you, since
you steered us to his article.
Once again, RR, you're entitled to your own viewpoint, but the more you keep
posting this garbage, the more you credibility you lose.
