We're that high up because the countries that hate us weren't surveyed.genjiZERO said:number 5! Go Britain
Actually, sometimes I think Britain is a tosser of a country, especially internationally.

WHAT??? STFU >_<segasonic said:Germany is great except for three things.
the weather sucks (you can fly to Mallorca for cheap though )
the taxes are absurdly high
the Swabians and Saxons are assholes --> Rhineland ftw!!

Napoleonthechimp said:They like to ban video games.
Its a bit more than that. If the legislation they've proposed were to go through then the vast majority of 'violent games' would be banned.
Perceptions of the US worsened in three - Canada, Lebanon and Egypt

Green Shinobi said:Yeah, I'm so sure the influence of America in the world is mainly negative.
Fuck this poll.

Cooter said:Just wait until Obama gets elected. We will be at the top, guaranteed!
Instigator said:I don't see how any Democrat could make it worse.
Cooter said:???
Watch out Germany. President Obama will lead us the most loved nation on earth.
Instigator said:Unlikely, but he will at least reverse the current trend.
GenericPseudonym said:Not really. Short-sightedness is not a purely American trait. I think an articulate, leftist leader like Obama plays far better to most people, than Bush did, and they will probably forget about Bush pretty quickly once he's out of the news.

no, because you are dumbKlaxon said:Why am I dumb? Because I wrote the truth?
You can't rely on WW2 foreverTyrannical said:Well, based on that survey WWII was a mistake. Should have let the Axis powers have their way.
farnham said:yay.. good ol germany owns
go bavaria !!
Cooter said:What do you mean? The world loved us when Clinton was in office. All we need to do is gert Obama in and we will be loved again. It's that easy.
The EU is a sui generis state-like confederation. It has de jure and de facto executive authority over a number of policy sectors. Its listing is not that peculiar.Second said:Germany is a country.
EU is not.
Germany is in EU, so Germany two times on the list?
Instigator said:Then Sarkozy singlehandedly reversed decades of tired French jokes in America...
I think not. Just like America's battered image didn't simply disappear last time with Jimmy Carter in the White House.
ConfusingJazz said:My anecdotal evidence is that the European media loooooves Obama, calling him the black JFK and what not.
Instigator said:And they can still call him to black Rcihard Nixon once in office.
My point is pre-election hype doesn't guarantee anything in 2009 and beyond. JFK mystique is about his short time in office and his untimely death coupled with his wife. Nothing is written yet for Obama, but he does enjoy positive press now, I will grant you that.
avaya said:Germany being at the top is not surprising. What do the German's contribute? Probably the best cars in the world. Probably the best engineers in the world. So much influence in science and technology. They took full blame for WWII they never ceased to apologise. They re-integrated their shattered country. They rose from those ashes. They play a huge role in the heart of Europe.
Similar for Japan and their work ethic. If Japan didn't suffer from WWII atrocity denial so much they would have easily taken first since they must have won the vote by a long way everywhere else apart from SE-Asia for them to have even gotten so close to winning.
No, America is viewed the way it is because Europeans think it was such a huge travesty that we circumvented the U.N. to invade Iraq coupled with the fact that there were no W.M.D.'s found in that country.Azih said:Dude, you do realize that sort of attitude is mainly why America is viewed the way it is?

Also the fact that apparently much of the world has a super-short attention span and no perspective of history, which is ironic, since that's one of the things they accuse Americans of.
But Canada was top on the last year's list.onemic said:This is most influential, not the best country to live in so of course Canada isn't on the list. Why do you think Iran is in there?
That's a nice little phrase to throw around to mask the fact that you're completely lacking in both reading comprehension and any form of debate skills.onemic said:You sir, are beyond help.
