They are prepping the heir for the throne, if the heir who has been groomed (prepped) for 12 years is suddenly overlooked the other one will possibly not be ready. Also the queen is 86, who knows how long she will last, her current heir is 64 and then William is 30. The law could potentially take ages to pass so perhaps by the time all of them pass the commonwealth is divided into to heirs because the rest had failed to change the laws, William will likely be in charge within the next 30 years but who knows how long he will last (the queens predecessors did not fair to well in terms of how long they reigned.). So lets just hope it is a boy for simplicity sake (these things will be sorted out eventually but being under a time constraint even though it could be quite a lenghy one is not ideal). Another point i should mention is that the women usually take the last name of their husband, this would end the house of windsors reign over the commonwealth and is also not ideal (the current queen narrowly escaped that however the naming is quite complicated now, those of the official line and heirs to the throne of england and the commonwealth have the last name Windsor however the queens second, third and fourth born children have the name Windsor-Mountbatten (because charles duke of edinborough's last name is Mountbatten), however those who are more distantly related to the queen (such as descendants of Queen Victoria) have the last name Saxe-Cobourg and Gotha, or those on Victoria's side of the family have the last name Hanover. (Saxe-Cobourg and Gotha was the last name of her Victoria's husband Albert, and the house of Windsor (formerly known as Saxe-Cobourg and Gotha (until world war 1 when they changed their name because of anti german movements in England) is directly descended from them (i think Queen Elizabeth II is the great-granddaughter of Victoria.) (One thing more about peta,my teacher told us this in class (Which I have no clue how to went to animal adaptations to that) She has a friend who's husband was baby sitting their kid and they had a pit bull and while the husband wasn't looking the baby was swatting at the dog and pulling it's tail.The dog snapped at the kid's face and held on (The baby's only 2 or 3 and you know that those kind of dogs have strong jaws and never let go) And the dad finally noticed and tried to pry the dog off but it wouldn't let go.He got one of his guns and shot it.(and he loved that dog) Later Peta (she didn't tell how they found out) Tried to sue them for killing the dog when the baby litterally almost died.Which side should really win in court? thoughts?) It probably won't happen like that,If your good then most of the time you'll stay good (unless you had something really bad happen in your life which really tends to change you,and I can understand that) And it doesn't matter to much to me the gender (as long as they turn out well like their parents and learn well even though something can happen William will make a great king (from what I've heard) The queen yes may not have the longest time but she has great heirs. (When a few more post go by (maybe like 2) then I'll add the next question,and the next really makes me upset.) (In response to the PETA thing) Wow, that's horrible. I mean, I know PETA's thing is animals > everything else, but sometimes you need to look at the bigger picture: a human life was nearly lost that day.

Post by Snowfeather on Feb 23, 2013 0:16:38 GMT -5
The big one.This really just.....I can't explain it in words.I was watching "The top ten most beautiful countries" (youtube) And on the side I saw something titled "The worlds top 10 most hated countries" I really didn't want to look at it but curiosity got the best of me.So after watching that I just put my elbow on the table on put my face in my palm looking down.(serious) and guess who was second? yep.What really got me were the comments.
I'm going to label them off (not putting the users who wrote them) copied) oh and getting rid of the f's ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1.EU isn't a country, America supposed to be at the top. +22 (likes)
2.Top 4 hated countrys: China,Israel,Iran,USA! +29
3.Yeah yeah :) america is so powerful that it in DEBT to us and China ;) hahaha lol years of powerful america already ended, future is in BRIC, Brazil-Russia-India-China. +6
4.USA sucks -f- idiot HAHAHAHAHA More then half of the world HATES YOU! Lol even this video PROOFS that.
5.USA is the most hated country. they cause wars. and americans are really racist against other cultures +8
6.Top 3 are really these ones: #3 Israel #2 UK #1 USA, sorry to tell everybody, but that's just the way it is. If you live in one of those three, maybe you can try to make your own countries a little bit better :) Btw all of them are hated because of their goverments. +5
7.Top 10: 1. USA 2. ISRAEL 3. USA 4. USA 5. USA 6. USA 7. USA 8. USA 9. USA 10. USA +71
8.i think USA should first +158
9.iran isnt bad its just your -f- stupid leader is over there trying to take there oil. Thats why Middle Easterns hate America they take there resources then try to change there government (talking about iran) +208
10.what country US has made friends with not to be the 1st? :) +353
(I really wanted to get a REAL reason why people thought that so I looked up another video) and got this..
11.the only country in the world that I hate is USA +1
12.What are you talking about? England and america are the most hated country's in the world.FACT!
13.This is rubbish..USA & Israel are the most hated by far +6
14.USA should be #1 and then maybe Israel as #2 or #3. But definitely USA = #1.
15.usa 1 #1 most hated not #3 +23 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For the "educated" topic
16.You seem to think you are the only people to walk on this beautiful planet. Your not. Should wake up to yourselves. Your not perfect. Especially with a leader like yours.. i cant even look at him. Sorry. America was ok until he turned you all into war lovers and Muslim haters.
17.Because you keep invading countries for no real reason and leave them to clear up the mess? Keep screwing with the worlds economy?
18.becuase they say we don't want war and they make a war ..because they say we want to make verything good and they make it totaly bad..cause they keep lying and always want to take over a new land thats not for them...
19.becoz they keep fkin bomin other countrys n dey kill inocent people (really how they wrote that)
20.To keep it short many people from the US think they're superior to everyone else simply because of their countries power.
21.Well, I'm Asian, so excuse me if my point is a little biased. I'm very proud of my culture. No offense, but most of the American population IS fat, ugly, and arrogant. There are, of course, exceptions. I'm Asian American, born in the US. And based on personal life experience, I have a pretty good reason to hate some Americans. But anyway, the US makes... such an impact on worldwide life. We work for the greater good. We're a world power. Everything we do is put in International spotlight. Maybe some groups are jealous. Maybe they think we're too influential. If I had to give a reason of why I hate Americans, it would be because some of them are so racist. They think people of other ethnic groups are below them. America has a white-dominant society. People like me, who are Asian, have to suffer insults. They think we're stupid and we all have accents and broken English. Does my paragraph sound like an inept English speaker is typing it?
22.Have you ever noticed how America gets their big ugly face involved in every world event. George W's personal war with the middle east certainly didnt help us in the eyes of the world. Our greedy underhanded policies and close minded approach to everyone else in the world pretty much makes us hated by most.
You know that loud mouth bully who thinks he knows everything on the playground? Did you like that person? Well that bully is the USA.
23.Majority of the population is fat.
Poor economy.
Generally below average I.Q
Racism.
High crime rates.
24.Because of all the freedoms we enjoy, duh!
In reality, it probably has a lot to do with our imperialism, and the government's attitude that the world is theirs to shove their grubby little paws all over to get what they want.
Secondly, there is a stereotype (I'm not sure how true it is) that Americans are lazy, naive, and materialistic. As an aside, look at whom we have elected not once, but twice. Unfortunately, he reflects on Americans as a whole.
25. For instance, we've been sendinb bombing forays into Iraq EVERY DAY since the FIRST gulf war started. We have bases in the middle east and it's on THEIR LAND. They haven't asked us there, and don't want us there.
We support Israel, a country that kills thousands of innocent Arabs in retaliation for what some of them have done to Isralis.]
We send hybrid seeds to Africa, so that they'll always be obligated to buy the seeds from us every year. We structure our trade programs to the disadvantage of other nations.
We still buy bananas for just a little more than what I sold them for when I worked in a grocery store 40 years ago. Everything has gone up 10 times since then. Why do we still pay so little for bananas.
Why do we have trade practices that kill off other countries' markets, and then when the people can't make a living in their own countries, we condemn them from coming here. All the while, secretly big business and farmers are bringing them here even though theyknow they are illegal.
Why do we start preemptive wars. Iraq wasn't the first. Beginning with our war to win Hawaii, we've taken over many countries. Oh, I forgot the Native Americans. We took them over too.
Many reasons that other countries don't like us. I've merely scratched the surface.
26.USA has become the big stupid bully of the neighborhood. we go out and steal the other kids' lunch money, we bloody their nose and rip their clothes, we stomp on their new shoes, and give them wedgies just for fun. we're not good neighbors.
27.There is a lot of anti-American sentiment in Korea because people resent the US military presence, and because they think that it is worsening the North/South situation.
Not really a country, but Okinawa (An Island, part of Japan) has a strong dislike for America because there are a lot of US troops there who tend to get drunk, start fights, ignore local laws and occasionally -r- school children.
Most North Koreans were raised from birth to think of America as an aggressive colonial powers that wants to destroy them.
There is quite a bit of anti-American sentiment in Turkey, too. Mostly because of US foreign policy. Egypt, as well. Though the governments of these countries are US allies and they don't have any recent history of attacking US citizens except in a one-off way.
The people of Britain and France dislike America, too. They feel that the US is throwing its weight around and that America's war on terror is making them less safe by making moderate Muslims angry enough to become extremists.
The general feeling in China is that America is trying to restrict China's economic and political growth, and that it is being unfair to China by supporting other countries against it (Mostly Japan and Taiwan). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That;s enough for now.that took 2 hours... well I got all this from about 3 sites (and videos) on the most liked comments (bad ones)
What do you think about these comments and what these people are saying about America
I have A LOT to say but I'll wait.Just know this kind of talk really upsets me.

The later comments reflect my opinion of America's political system and the leaders chosen to run it, all the choices are terrible and give America a bad rep pretty much everywhere (despite what you might think. Canada also has an anti American sentiment to in certain places). I have had some run ins with very bad people while in America but i know that it only represents a small minority. Another factor that gives America a bad rep is that you guys have the highest obesity rate out of any country ( www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_obe-health-obesity), this leads to the stereo type that you are all fat (which at 30 some odd % seems fairly accurate to anyone who does not know better). Not only that but a big part of your history revolves around the slave trade, whereas countries like Canada where safe havens for slaves escaping from the U.S. even before the American civil war. Besides that America has a rep for being cocky and uneducated (for such a 'great country' your education system is terrible: www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2010/dec/07/world-education-rankings-maths-science-reading : Even though you are above alot of countries many of them are under developed and if you read the comments on this article someone says "Lagging behind Australia or the Scandinavian countries is unfortunate but nothing to be ashamed of. Only three ranks ahead of the US in mathematics, a country that generally doesn't value intellect, is embarrassing".) and that really rubs people the wrong way. And do not get me started on invading other countries (just look at where that has got you). Edit: You also get a bad rep when you protest over something like gun registry that is crucial if you want to lower your crime rates. Not to mention you are practically owned by China.

Edit: You also get a bad rep when you protest over something like gun registry that is crucial if you want to lower your crime rates. Not to mention you are practically owned by China. (you know If you could put a "No offence" Somewhere in that post that good be great....) One thing I hate when people do.Use our past against us,and other countries.Oh some people in germany were nazi's hundreds of years ago? Forget going there I don't like them. Saudi Arabia was the home of Osama bin Laden? hate that place.Why? oh because you said in the past some were bad. BUT their not like that now and It's the same for america. "Where safe havens for slaves escaping from the U.S. even before the American civil war" Your bringing up something that happened hundreds of years ago.It's not fun getting hate from bringing up your battered past if your meaning to or not.The civil war was horrible, learning about fighting our own people just disgusts me.Holding slaves just as worse.If I could go Back and appear in front of the people that thought that was a good freaking idea it wouldn't very pretty. "despite what you might think. Canada also has an anti American sentiment to in certain places). I have had some run ins with very bad people while in America but i know that it only represents a small minority." 1.Yes I've heard about that. www.metafilter.com/22338/Essentially-Canadians-regard-all-Americans-as-morons-unless-proven-otherwise 2.There always are the bad and the good always the same,maybe the bad ones get this in their head and get cocky www.mapsofworld.com/world-top-ten/world-top-ten-powerful-countries-map.html I never hate on other places because of anything like this but lots other people don't have the same view as mine, or thinks of the same peace. "Rep for being cocky and uneducated (for such a 'great country' your education system is terrible)" (the cocky topic is answered) The bad always gets the best of the worst, it's hard to ignore it and I know.It may be terrible.It's easier for anyone to enroll into courses but harder for them to learn the right way and remember it.Everything has to be perfect to have the right education - Good role models
- No rude people in class (one's that argue with the teacher for 10 minutes at a time) taking away from it and your learning
- Complete understanding (teacher)
- Not afraid to ask for help (pride)
- Willing to do the work and make up late grades
Even if you don't have one of these it could harm you for the people that do or don't it's another story, No one's education system is "perfect" America's not one of the best or the worst it's just not all people want education to be the first thing in their life and you can't force it.A Country can be good it just depends what your looking at.At the bad things (some that happened hundreds of years ago) and just judging on that or thinking about the good things as well.America's just apparently the middle of everything bad because everyone just shoves the GOOD things aside like there worthless.It's better when people pin it on one person (that might deserve it) instead of just assuming that all americans are bad cocky fat idiots. "You also get a bad rep when you protest over something like gun registry that is crucial if you want to lower your crime rates. Not to mention you are practically owned by China" 1.Already put my gun statement 2.What do you mean "Owned by China"?

Actually World War II started 74 years ago (2013-1939) and ended 68 years ago (2013-1945) and sorry that i did not put no offence however i did not really think i was insulting America and was only showing others opinions that i have seen. (The Nazi party was created in 1920 and under the rule of Hitler came into power in 1933 i believe, so 100's of years ago is far from accurate) As for the civil war and slave trade yes all countries have a dark past (and America is far from having the darkest) however when American history is plastered everywhere it is easy to forgot your own countries wrong doings and hate on a country that's history is more common knowledge. There was tons of other things i could have mentioned that America (among others) has done wrong (and inhumane) in the past, however since it is not really common knowledge it does not truly reflect the opinions i have seen whereas slave trade and civil war are big factors in certain arguments. Now for being owned by China: usgovinfo.about.com/od/moneymatters/ss/How-Much-US-Debt-Does-China-Own.htm - You could argue other American funders hold more of America's debt but when China owns a larger portion of debt then American household you know there is a problem. Also Hong Kong is also on the list of top owners of U.S debt which is a city in China however it has its own market, so why not add another 122 Billion dollars to the already 1.2 Trillion owed by the U.S. (Hong Kong owns $122 Billion of Americas debt with another 1.2 Trillion coming from the rest of China.) Every country has to deal with the points you mentioned however they are still doing better then the U.S (in certain cases), all of your points mentioned are common problems and so i do not feel that they are an excuse for poor performance. Edit: If anything offended you it was not intended.

I round it but I don't really mean 100 years, I should of probably said a few decades As for the civil war and slave trade yes all countries have a dark past (and America is far from having the darkest) however when American history is plastered everywhere it is easy to forgot your own countries wrong doings and hate on a country that's history is more common knowledge. -Agreed For the China thing there's one thing I've got to include that could help that.First who's FREAKING IDEA was it to give away millions of dollars for almost nothing? lottery.Look at this everyday the amount of money grows higher and about 3 people win everyday www.txlottery.org/export/sites/lottery/index.html that's more 200 million a year.....and that's just in texas.We could use that money to pay that off but instead give it to people who pay to scratch off cards.My dad's been doing that for more then 30 years and never got anything big.I've always wondered what they do with the money they get from it....And when the mega ball comes to town it's 300 billion.That's enough to pay off Hong Kong and Taiwan right there -.- If you have the money then just pay it off instead of giving it out to the lottery.That's more then a trillion a year (which could be used) someone needs to get that fact. Well some matter more then others.One point I've got is my school,It just horrible.The things you can say to teachers in classes and how much time the spend not talking about what there supposed to.(and moon far knows what I'm talking about) The main one that I've got is math one of our students called another one an ugly bas (don't if i can say bast- on here) He spent the next 30 minutes (and i was watching the clock) talking to her and the teacher next door then later brought her in and did nothing else,so we lost a hole lesson.This happens really often to.She called him a bb eyed old man stalker last week and he didn't do anything and will stand there and go back and forth with that 10 minutes at a time everyday.Teachers fault sometimes prime example but other times the kid.That happens a lot where i am and probably a lot of other places.Example of one person can ruin it all. Edit:Might of over reacted a bit sorry (one of the reasons I was a bit worried about this topic)

Well, I'm the first to say the US has problems, but not that it's a bad nation.
America's government obviously has some serious issues, but I have done some reading on our Constitution and how it's supposed to work, and I have nothing but good to say about it. I have come to the conclusion that the system itself is sound, but the changes made to it and the people who run it are what's causing most of the problems. That doesn't mean I'm placing all the blame on Congress or whoever, though, because it was the people who elected Congress. I think the problem is, and John Adams specifically says this, that America's government was made for a very moral people. I don't think that Americans today are very moral, and that is causing problems.
And I agree the education system here in America isn't that great. Nor is the general health of the people. You don't want to know what they do to the majority of the food. And then we eat it! No wonder we have obesity problems.
I agree, people shouldn't judge a country based on its past, but when it is plastered everywhere it's hard not to. And I agree that the lottery is stupid.

(this kinds of makes me want to think of a president topic)
It's easy to place the blame on one person.Most just blame obama on everything when really every single thing in america is not his problem, he's working to solve it but that doesn't mean everythings just in his hands.Most just think he take 100's of years worth of both good and bad past of america and just shape it back into the way people want it.That's not true he's one man and as powerful as he is he needs help then people get mad at him when they think he doesn't do enough and find a way to pin everything on him.I can't even start to think about how stressing it is for him.
Bleh I've heard that the MCD chicken comes in tubes and start out pink then they dye it white, gross......I never eat there, people don't have the sense to do a little research.
Yes it really is..... I can never get over that fact.

Yeah, placing the blame on Obama isn't acurate. Sure, maybe his methods for solving the country's problems aren't that great or effective, but the only reason they are being used is because the people elected him, and I think most people just don't want to take responsibility for that. I, personally, am not an Obama supporter, but I don't think that he's an evil person and/or everything is his fault just because his methods aren't working.

If you don't like it don't play it.If you do then play it. Something tells me this is a "parent kid problem" Playing a shooter game won't make your kid crazy for killing or scar them forever.Shooting games are kinda fun and getting rid of it will just p*ss the heavy gamer's off.Parent rules are going to far by your post I'm guessin you think the same?

Here is a good one: Your views on the whole: BAN ALL THE VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES! clearly doing so will solve all of the 1st world problems of the universe. /pops up Hope I'm not intruding, but I play Halo. I really do like the game, honest. But last time I checked, I haven't gone out and dropped bombs on an entire nation. To be honest, I think that violent games are not what we should be looking at as the answer as to why we are suffering things such as terrorist attacks. The answer lies in motive. Perhaps they have bad history with certain people/location/country etc. and therefore want to attack because they want revenge, etc. Then along comes war. Anywhoo. I kinda feel that the whole "VIOLENT GAMES IS WHY THIS SOCIETY IS FAILING" is far too overdone and not looked into. What if, per say, this game is not causing murderous intents, but rather keeping them off the streets? Think about it. These games are violent. They are graphic and show blood. That makes me think, "Well, I don't want dead people on my street nor the possibility of being accused of manslaughter and getting hanged.". And then comes along our gun ban. I understand how some countries view what we're doing and go "lol america u ok", but what have we experienced in this country so far? It's called "Aurora, Colorado" and "Sandy f-ing HOOK", where several innocent human beings were murdered with, oh I don't know, guns. I'm kinda happy about it, seeing is how I live in the same state as where one of these incidents took place. wow look at me probably offending half the non-american forumers on this site wow maybe maybe i shouldn't even be on this site

People always need to blame something on someone.No one is just going to say it's their fault.If there's some kind of murder in their family and the murder loved left 4 dead 2 boom something to blame.Videofreakinggames.I can even relate to this.My grades have gone from A's to C's in math.What gets blamed? the video games.
Society really gets pinned with that? bull.....agreed with the rest
The connecticut shooting has given that "Gun ban" more power (and overall it was really sad) one thing can just set people off.Kid played x-box "OH NO!!! LOOK WHAT KIDS WILL BECOME!!" one person.one person.
don't say that.....

My dad use to yell at me every time i played something remotely violent, however when i progressed a bit in school and my grades actually improved (which i tried to attribute to certain games at every possible oppertunity) he backed off. I think this is an appropriate action, first you see how your child is able to handle the games in question and if they are having an effect on their marks, then you make a decision and perhaps evaluate that decision every once and awhile. The main problem i would say is that kids get to caught up in them and it begins to effect their school work, nothing to do with violence at all.

Pretty much here's the big question: Okay, so violent video games are bad for your kids? Then...okay, Who bought the game for little jimmy? OH YOU THE PARENT DID? Boy you are so smart. Yes, let's blame the game YOU bought instead of the person WHO bought it, AND LET HIM PLAY IT

Lol in my case my mother would buy the game for me (because she did not care at all) or i would buy it.
