In America, they would have to ask "is there any country you've heard of?"
Absolutely 😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Americans did not experience the war, they were not subjected to daily and night bombing raids as we were !
Oh, to be honest, I think we would be a better country if we’ve been invaded even if just for a short time. People who don’t feel affinity with Europe would understand the need for mainland Europeans to want to work together and have continued peace. Yes, I’m an average European and British
@@phoenix-xu9xj Do you think Hitler would have agreed to invade just for a short time?
@@archiebald4717 That isn't what he said. He's saying that *had we been* invaded for just a short time (as other countries were) then the national attitude would probably more in sync with its European neighbours. Perhaps we also wouldn't be quite so arrogant as a country, because that would help a massive amount.
@@CowmanUK Now there are two people spouting nonsense.
@@archiebald4717 nope, there is only one 😀
What you said about Brits having travelled more is significant! It probably explains why there wasn't a tendency to disparage whole countries without having personal experience of them.
It's so much easier and cheaper for Brits to travel to cool countries! Here in the US we can drive to Canada or Mexico and that's it. (Well yes, you can drive through Mexico and on South, but that's a major expedition.) In London you can get on a train, go through the Chunnel, and all of Europe and beyond are easily accessible by train. You can do it just on a whim! If we want to go to Europe or Asia we face a long and expensive plane ride across a big, big ocean. That's not done lightly, and certainly not on a whim.
@@gumbopie the Atlantic is no excuse for not travelling, do you have no idea off the amount of UK and mainland European travellers visit the USA and it's as expensive for us to travel, travel broadens the mind as the saying goes, if you save money and only get away every 5 years you would learn a lot and have a lot of memories and a lot of international friends
As a German I visited the UK often during the 80s as a teenager and 90s as a student, and I was VERY afraid at first, because of the war. But the reality I experienced literally everywhere: I was warmly welcomed and the British were the friendliest people I had EVER met. Also, learning about England: it is a very integral part of the English culture especially NOT to say strongly negative things. Germans a, depending on the state, more outspoken. But to make an English say to "hate" something is a VERY difficult task. And often times when I was lost there, English, Scots and Welsh went to GREAT length to help me.
I recall visiting Scotland around 1989, and I ended up accidentally around 80 km away from the city I wanted to be. It was early in the morning, I was asking for directions to this city, totally oblivious to the distance, and he out of the blue just DROVE me there.
I don't know Britain today. But the British of the days, man you wouldn't find kinder and more polite people in the world.
Unless they are drunk. lol
PS: As a older person: Americans haven't always been SO strongly and aggressively opinionated. It just has changed drastically the last 10-15 years. I remember are time when Americans were largely not like this. Today Americans a deeply divided way beyond any point of what seems mentally healthy.
@@Mmjk_12 was the building the opera House?
I'm happy you had a good time there. I unfortunatly remember vividly my time in England one summer in the early 90s. As a 14y old german girl I had to hide where I come from. You don't say "yes" when a group of boys armed with baseball bats and brass knuckles ask you if you are german!!!
I don't hate England! But after that I decided not to travel there anymore :)
I had a good time with the few brits I met outside of the UK, especially during Erasmus in Italy. 🍷🍷
We had a family member who had been taken prisoner by the Japanese in WW2. He did not talk about his experiences but it left him with a deep hatred of Japan and Japanese products. I think he was OK with Germans though, he thought of them just as pawns in a game, like the British soldiers
Sorry, have to disagree. Us citizens have always been loud, stupid and obnoxious
I'm dutch and while Germans aren't the most fun people to be around. If you have a real problem there probable the best people to encounter.
I do love being Germany when is say not the most fun doesn't mean they aren't pleasant. Even had a Germane Girlfriend for 2 years met her in Scotland.
I definitely wouldn’t say I hate America I really love America in all honesty, but I do think the country need to do more to help it’s own people and better educate the youth. And the health care definitely doesn’t need to cripple its population as most Americans would refuse healthcare just to save on the cost.
👍
i have never refused health care in my life and I'm an older American. The more I watch these videos, the more I realize how ill-informed other country's opinions of our health care system is.
Consider our central place on the world stage. Brits have met a lot of people from a lot of countries. We generally get along with everyone.
Central place on the world stage 🤣🤣
@@paulusbexkens4392 British empire?? Look on any map...top and centre of the map etc, etc, etc.
You might not like the uk or whatever but point is your comment on face value seems daft.
@@petebennett3733 The British Empire is gone and has been for over 50 years. Britains power and influence has dropped dramatically over the last decades. And has dropped even more in the last 5 years after Britain left the EU. And the influence will drop even more in the future as other countries like India, Indonesia, Brasil (just a few examples) will be more important.
That has nothing to do with 'like' or 'dislike'. The UK has also al lot of internal problems, with a system where England basicly rules the other countries of the UK like colonies from Westminster. If England wants to leave te EU, the others are forced to do it.
The UK has left a big mark on the world with it's history. A lot of good in culture, history etc, and a lot of bad like colonism. Most former British Empire nations for example have terrible laws regarding LGBT people, which come from their Britisch based constititution on the moment of independence.
I have no problem with the UK. Ik love the country, it's people. But you do have a strange way of looking at yourself. Living in the past and not accepting the current situtation.
@@paulusbexkens4392 read between the lines as in past and present being on the world stage. Oh wait I was being far to vague for you to understand and read between the lines, my bad
@@paulusbexkens4392 As do most large European countries throughout the centuries my friend. Some like France and Germany sought to invade and dominate the European continent in the 19th and 20th century. It was then useful for UK to use it military might from the empire including the wonderful people from those countries to counteract these despotes. So consider the other side of the coin when you make points such as LGBT rights.
Happy birthday to your wife...so sweet of you to interrupt the video❤
The guy at 7:37 is really an exception. Germany's one of the most beloved countries in Europe, especially inside of the EU, and it always seemed to me they had a very good reputation among the British. A lot of Europeans who are unhappy with their own country say they'd like to move to Germany, probably because of the very good economic situation there. The war is long over, the EU was formed since then, and it's fair to say that only a handful of very old people still dislike Germany around here in Western Europe.
You need to remember that people in the UK can very easily travel anywhere in Europe, so they have interactions with the common people and know that generally everyone is nice and welcoming, politics doesn’t come into it
The answers of British people below clearly point you to the answer: Brits are just too lovable. They don't like hating on people. Unless they are in a football stadium. 😛
They are all answering in term's of holiday destinations
Most of us Brits are getting used to being a multicultural society and have been tend to look for positives and absorb all the good bits, Indian food, West Indian vibes, African colour etc. If the question was about which Governments we despise, the more authoritarian, power hungry places would get short shrift
I'm from Ireland. I think you summed up Britain perfectly.
@@billyo54 Thanks. Of all the many bad things the British have done, our behaviours in Ireland are the worst.
How come you vote in Tory's then so often. Not saying they are as bad as the GOP but lately they are beginning to come close.
@@arturobianco848 Never voted Tory in my life, but I guess it is because people are persuaded that they will be "better off" with Tories. I think there is also a sneaking regard for patrician leadership: people wanting to be taken care of. No they are not as bad as the GOP but are quickly getting there and sadly, Labour, offers a poor alternative. I am voting Green next time
@@dereknewbury163 You really need to get rid of that FPTP single constituency system sp people have real choice. Hope you live in an earea that a green makes a chance. Not wanting frustrate you but otherwise its practicly voting for the Tory's.
Hate is a very strong word, so I don't think many would say they hate any particular country, unless they're basing their judgement on sterotypes or first hand negative experiences. I think you hit the nail on the head in saying that people generally differentiate between governments of countries (and acts committed by those governments) and 'the people'. I'm sure, as someone who has travelled abroad from England a number of times, that most people of any country are welcoming, pleasant and reasonable, but there are always exceptions wherever you go.
Agree with you. I thought the same. Most people I meet in my live were nice. What I think about governments in certain countries is a different topic (there I would point out i.e. Russia, China, USA, Hungary, Contries in the middle east, North Korea and probably more but I do not know about too much regarding politics/government)
I may have too mention, I have visited some of the countries I mentioned i.e. Russia, Hungary and the US and I liked it (regarding the people)
I really like the english people not mixing up politics and countries.
If you see other channels the answers are cherry picked so you easily get the wrong expression. And yes brits are still very polite people. Well done.
We do. Many people me included hate the fact that Americans had to convince the rest of us that they are the greatest country on Earth. And the allegiance to the flag is just a joke. We would be shocked and highly critical if North Korea did it
The lady wearing a face mask, who said she hated. England was actually Scottish, so that might give you a clue. 😂
I think there is no way to describe an 'American' just as it is not possible to decribe an Asian, African or an European. These territories are so vast that there is no one culture for the entire region.
Very well put!💯👍
loud ignorant fast food 😂
100%, but that doesnt make clickbait and help dumb people down does it?
I'm probably your only Cypriot subscriber. There's loads of Brits living here and loads coming over for summer holidays.
I don’t know anyone that dislikes Cyprus. I think that lady was maybe not ready to live somewhere other than her home country
@@PoisonSnowAppleCyprus is such an easy place to live in but there are things to dislike just like any other country. The really hot summers for example. The 40+ weather kills me.
I'd say she didn't like the heat in Cyprus or their slack approach to official procedures. You can't hate Cyrpus, it's pretty perfect
Hello from Slovenia! :D Btw happy birthday to your wife!
You should try traveling, Ryan. Do some internet research, book flights and hotels. Pack family, passports and credit card. Go. At least 2 weeks at a time if overseas.
I think that maybe because here in the UK we are a country made up of constituent countries that we have a mentality where we differentiate between a country, a people, and a government. If you asked Brits what governments or political parties around the world we hate then I think you'd get a flood of answers. We don't hate countries or their people as much as other countries seem to do, again maybe that comes back to recognising when our own government doesn't represent us and the fact that we wouldn't want the rest of the world to judge us by the actions of our politicians.
Case in point, I hate Putin, and I hate the political power structure in Russia right now for what it is doing, but I don't hate Russia as a country or the Russian people and I know there will be a lot of Russians who don't agree with him or what he's doing.
You’re correct about not dissing an entire country.
The people in countries I have visited or lived in,the people are much like people everywhere.
It’s the shitty politicians I hate,intensely.
They ruin peoples lives just for power and money,I hate them for sure,oh yes I utterly detest politicians.
Most of us don't "hate" the USA - it's a strong word. We're more considered than that, but I think many of us do get frustrated with the States.
To me, the USA comes across like an adolescent - strong, stubborn, loud and proud - and with little interest in those that are older and possibly wiser, convinced it's unsubtle ideas are the perfect solution to everything. I find the USA equally endearing, annoying and (these days) a bit scary.
Do you think of "countries" as the people, or the State? Wherever I go it's the same - loads of lovely, good-hearted people - and a smattering of a*holes. The problem in some countries are their governments policies and overbearing religions - and the effect that may have on the people. Thus, there are some countries I wouldn't choose to visit - not because of the people themselves, but because of the social environment created by those in power. (And i must admit that for the moment, the USA is one of them).
Agreed. But too young for high school yet! Still at the tantrum stage.
England comes across as a hormonal adolescent to me.
And what about the rest of the UK?@@alexverdigris9939
Nah. England is the stern, over-bearing mother who still doesn't want to let her successful child go, even though she can no longer control her .
The diffrence is the Americans are told who to hate, while we don't have a controlled mind
What!
@@davevoce Well its a bit difficult to say to people to hate those over there when they visite them regularly. You sort of go but they are OK youre nuts.
Americans are pretty brainwashed on avarage. thats what you get if you are beeing thought the USa is the greatest and bestes country in the world. And don't travel anywhere but inside the same country to find out that might not be really the thruth.
not sure where you get your info from, but that is not true
Didn't Farage tell Brits what to think of Romanians, Bularians and Turkish people in 2014, or were you too young to remember?
@@alexverdigris9939Maybe but I’m pretty sure most of us Brits thought he was full of crap and not worth listening to. I see plenty of Americans who follow their political party like it was a cult though.
Hello from Sweden, love your content🙌🏼
Americans need to get out more, and i don't just mean their own backyard.
I think they just need proper education that isn't so insular
America would never let Americans know the truth about America, so sadly, a proper nationwide education won't happen any time soon, if ever.
Brits love banter and winding people up, but if asked to be serious then you will get an honest answer...the problem is Americans really dont understand playful banter, you can argue that, but Americans really dont understand irony, banter or sarcasm, or when someones being serious or playful...lol
Recently someone from the UK was totally dissing America and our entire political system. I'm an American, so I asked them if they voted here. It was total sarcasm. They came back at me, completely missing the sarcasm. So no, Brits don't always get sarcasm. I'm quite sarcastic and catch most of what is dished out to me.
I wonder if you'd ask now if Russia would come up more often. Then again like you said the question is a bit weird, it's hard to hate a country, it's usually the government
You will find the Britts very self deprecating, and polite. Ask them after an afternoon at the pub. My grandfather was a relatively nice polite guy but after a few, the air would turn blue.
Disliking a country and disliking people would be 2 different things.
What's weird is people saying they dislike a country and giving no answer for it, possibly out of fear.
Was thinking the same, I've travelled to 26 countries in my life and every single country was beautiful, now if you asked me which country i didnt like because of the locals then there would be an answer.
Have to say the same. Don't perticularly dislike any country, and have travelled around the globe.
🎂Happy Birthday, Mrs. Wasser! 😉🎉
Lots of love from northern Germany. 💝
England was the first country that made me hesitant to tell people I am German.
The reactions always turned into "banter" (Which is just English for bullying) about WW2, Hitler and Nazis. Or people just outright did the Nazi salute.
There was no distinction between Germans back then and someone like me who was born in the 80s.
The only other time something similar happened was in very rural France when a few old people called the police on us after they heard us talk.
There is a distinction ! YOU and your generation are not attacking physically the rest of the world !
I’m very sad to hear that, as a Brit I’ve met many Germans, we often holiday in German hotels, I love the people, we usually have a very good laugh at my bad Germanic language skills.
Banter isn't bullying , it's sarcastic humour used when we actually like someone , most Germans I ve met understand this and happily banter back , check out German comedian Henning Wein he totally destroys Brits in his shows and we love him
Banter is definitely not bullying, you couldn't be more wrong 🤔
I live in Cyprus and I love it here. She was probably one of those ex-pats that wanted it to be like a little Britain and get all her British things here. And constantly sit in bars all day, dripping on about the Cypriots. Glad she’s no longer here.
I assumed she was/is married to someone in the forces and probably lived there some time ago on a British military base.
Happy birthday to you wife!
I'm from England [and Germany - born there with a parent from each country] and my candidate is china!
I have been to over 30 different countries, the only country that I didn’t like was Iraq which I was sent to twice. ( It was the incoming mortars and rocket fire that made the country seem unfriendly.)
I have 2 friends that live in Wisconsin and they are opposite to the american stereotype. Quiet, respectful and actually listen. The man who likes Holland sounded cockney or under the influence. The scottish lady who doesnt like england made me laugh, its much colder in scotland. 😂🏴 🇬🇧
" cockney or under the influence" probably both^^
@@Woltror😂
He WAS definitely "cockney"!
It’s the government’s of different countries that people don’t like as they are the ones who cause the problems, most people around the world are I general more alike than what you would think, they have the same dreams.
An unremarkable recording: the best thing about it was your comments which were far better than anything we heard in the programme. What Ryan thinks is usually wittier, funnier, more incisive and more perceptive than the content we are watching!
In the Netherlands it seems used to be Germany because of the war and football. My generation grew up with grandparents who lived through the war, although I have German relatives. My kids don't have that anymore. Back then you couldn't imagine stores selling shirts from German clubs, we didn't even call Germans German but a Mof just as the Brits called them Krauts.
The problem with Simplified - American - English is that it's TOO simplified - dumb or smart, hate or love...there's no way to express oneself properly. As many posters have said - "Hate" is just not the right word - only small children ever say they "hate" people. As they grow and their language skills improve they leave the word back in their childhood. And save it for things like avocados or travelling in an aeroplane. Not thousands of people you know nothing about. Even the word "dislike" is used carefully and in non-confrontational ways. And how on earth could anyone "hate" a country they've never even set foot in? If the question were, "Of all the countries you've visited, which did you enjoy the least?" a) It ensures you know what you're talking about because it's somewhere you've experienced b) You can have enjoyed them all, but one a tad less. So you still enjoyed it.
And, as others have said..."Hate" what? The climate? The infrastructure? The food? The politics? The religion? The manners? The monetary system? The traffic rules? The millions of people you've never met? Words don't seem to have much value in AE. But if someone is going around in the UK asking people who they "hate" the word IS taken seriously and, as you can see, most people are taken aback at the question, and don't really understand it's purpose.
Hate isn’t a word I would use to describe my attitude towards the USA. The most accurate word would be, bemusement. The odd propaganda, e.g “greatest country on the planet”, “the only country with freedom and democracy” etc, the pride in being ignorant about the other countries that share this planet etc etc. And, I’ve had this before, when you confirm some Americans on their falsehoods you’re met with “you’re just jealous of us Americans”. The USA wants to expand and have even more geopolitical influence, yet within the borders of the USA it’s very isolationists and scared of other nations, culture, languages, religions… people.
P.s I went to school in the USA between 94-96, and I also worked their after uni between ‘04 and ‘10 ;so I’m not speaking without experience.
It is difficult not to like a country. You may not like an individual but not necessarily the place he/she comes from. I have travelled to 40ish countries(including the USA) and liked bits of all of them. Some I really admire, I think Spanish people are ace, so laid back and friendly for instance. When TRump was around I think the USA would have gotten more stick, he was universally hated. I agree that England, my home, would not be high on my list of favourites. Most people in the woorld are nice and hospitable.
"British people", and shows purely Londoners (or temporary ones). This is like asking 30 people from New Jersey and assuming that's all of the U.S.
Brit here. Never met another Brit who didn't love American culture, and either hadn't holidayed in or wanted to go to the States.
I think nr1: you will always be inclined to answer your own country. It´s the one you know the best, and you see more than just the image of it.
nr2: one of the old guys said it best: he doesn't mind travelling places, but there are some where you wouldn´t wanna live. I really think this perspective is important when answeing the question. Most answered it like tourists would.
It’s not a question of hate. Before having watched the video, it would be France or England (as a joke, but not really) followed by North Korea and Russia. Any country which restricts its citizens like that is hell on earth.
If you asked me which country (of those which aren’t openly hostile) I would feel uncomfortable visiting right now, then I would say certain parts (but not all) of the USA. Mainly because of the abortion bans and transgender rights. Eg Florida. I loved Florida when I went there, but would feel uncomfortable now, knowing that my friend would be in danger if they went there with me.
I will however add that most US Americans I have met were lovely and I hope things get better over there.
I think as Brits we don't tend to judge a country by it's government or leaders. Especially countries that have a non voted in government like North Korea. The people are suffering badly, why judge them and their country because they're ruled by a dictator?
Happy birthday to your mrs!💐🎈🎂
If france isnt the most common answer I'll be shocked (just starting to watch so i dont know yet.
Ryan, this vid, 10 out of 10. Very well put by you.
Germany is our biggest football rival cos they are close neighbours, war and they always used to beat us (apart from 1966)
I don't hate any country, not fond of some of the leaders of a few countries (North Korea and Russia, US some of the time) but generally the people are great
Most people in the UK don’t know who Mr. Rogers was.
This seemed to be based on the places they’ve been to. I’m sure if people had been to North Korea it might have popped up. I haven’t hated anywhere I’ve been, but I’ve preferred some more than others. I would say Cairo wasn’t my cup of tea but it has wonderful places for tourists to visit and experience. As for America, the biggest dislike for me was the food
I think the name is supposed to be read something like "Gus on the Go" which makes sense since i guess his videos are him outside interviewing
It’s not the Country we don’t like, it’s the politicians who run it,
According to the Well Traveled Survey by Agoda, the average UK citizen has visited 12 countries, compared to 4 for US citizens. 3% of UK citizens have never left the country, compared to 29% of US citizens. So yes, I think it's fair to say Brits are a tad more traveled on average.
I dont HATE any country HATE is a strong word, there are many countries I would not want to live in but that is not the same question
I've enjoyed my visits to the States, great natural beauty & different vibes in different places but I wouldn't go again because just going through immigration there is trauma inducing! 😂 I've travelled in 30+ countries. Last time I landed in Hawaii I was made to sit in that special room with some others for a couple of hours till they called me for a 'chat', then when I finally got cleared the sent me down to collect my baggage & litterely searched every inch including inside socks etc🤦♀. I handled it very calmly even though I'd just flown 16 hours & was exhausted, mostly I was really embarrassed 'cause my friend in Honolulu sent her husband to come pick me up at the Airport (I'd never even met him before) & I couldn't contact him till I got out & someone had to lend me their phone, friggin' nightmare! 🤦♀ Oh & they managed to stab a hole in my brand new custom made surfboard bag & crack my brand new, hand made surfboard! Thanks guys!
My heart just died a little, when the guy said Germany and the reason why.
It depends if the question is about the geography, the people or politics tbh 🤷♀️
we brits do travel a lot, long haul, europe, and euroe, scotland, england ireland and wales are great to go to for the weekend or a long weekend on bank holidays
Why should I hate a country? I could dislike the politics, the ideology, the food, or even (if I'm an asshole) the people. But the country itself? It's just a geographical area, after all.
Not meant offensively:
It starts with the statement who probably doesn't like "America"....
But you are "US American", you do not represent a double continent. Otherwise every Mexican or Peruvian could also say he is "American".
This generalization is what also annoys many.
It’s just such a broad question, of course it’s none; I would say the same. You’d get more nuanced answers if you asked about a specific aspect of a country.
I don‘t think it‘s hate. There’ s just some things going on in the US Europeans don‘t understand, e.g. labelling social stuff as socialism or communism. That american national pride thing is very strange especially for germans, being raised with the historical fact in mind, that there is nothing to be proud of. And I think that many germans are very concerned about the political situation in the US. You want to be the land of the free, but those loud republicans do everything to cut the freedom of e.g. colored people, immigrants, women, homosexuals etc.
The „Handmaid‘s Tale“-vibes from this DeSantis guy are also very disturbing to us.
The direction this could lead to… Germans know. 😢
Better get rid of these dangerous people poisoning your country!
Be careful with your freedom and democracy, it‘s easy to lose. ❤
I am genuinely surprised people did not say France! I know a lot of my fellow English people who really dislike France. My husband is one who said he would never go back.
people are basically the same the world over it's the politicians & circumstances that affect them
I think most european don't really hate US, we are more sorry for the americans who have to live there.....
You say most disliked the US, but I think if you did a count most didn't like their own country, England.
America *does* have a nationalistic ego issue. No other country constantly bangs on about being the greatest in the world at everything, and having blind faith that it's true, when it clearly isn't. Now of course not all Americans are like that, but it does come across a lot in the attitudes of some, and in America's massive export; its culture. TV shows often do the flag saluting, US is the best place ever, Americans are the greatest at everything routine, and it just makes other countries wince.
Oh, and like the first guy, and some others, I also don't like England. And I'm born & bred English. I think it's far too right wing, money chasing (without a care for the consequences), Royal or privileged-people worshiping, arrogant and xenophobic. Again, not everyone is like that, obviously, but far too many and apart from a short time post-WW2 when the NHS, Welfare State and Council Estates were formed, it's politics have always massively favoured the wealthy over the poor and needy.
A couple that said England were Scottish. I'd probably say England because I'm Welsh.
And because of that we couldn't give a bugger what you think so go and bother another sheep.
Why should anyone not like a country? It is the people, the culture that can be off-putting, and then surely that would be a small number based on our own experience - we cannot have met everyone!
I'm English and I have to say Brexit broke me. This country will never be the same. :(
That was the wrong question. What sensible person would say, I "hate" a country? I don't want to live in some countries, I am worried about the politics in some countries (many countries currently), but that is not hate.
How can anyone hate a country that invents baseball, a sport only played in America, and call it a "world series". 😂😂😂
In Europe you can travel to another country in a matter of hours, but in the US it can take even longer to travel between states I've heard. Probably explains why folks in the US are not so well travelled in terms of visiting different countries.
You weren’t blitzed........l suss the guy...............
I think it was a tie between America and England. In the UK we like to moan, we will also self deprecate to avoid insulting someone else.
One thing you have to realise is the audience that you have commenting on your videos. It takes a certain type of person to like these reaction videos. Some people may enjoy it on a general basis like me who watches things and reactions about all countries. But alot of people are on a crusade of acceptance from all countries. People feel like they're losing their culture and identity because the british public have been told to be proud of themselves is bad because of the colonial past. So you probably encounter a way more patriotic section of the population..... Something to ponder on.
I mean, this also comes down to how you understand the question. If you're thinking about the people, the culture all that kind of stuff, then most people will not have a reason to really dislike any place. Their own country might be the most likely because they know the most about it. For example, I find Chinese culture really interesting and I love Chinese weightlifting, even with the political issues around it but when you full on go into politics and the regime there and what it's doing, I absolutely fucking hate it obviously. So the way you ask the question and simply just the language to ask it in might change the answer
Hi. Got to 10:20 in your video and you answered your own question. You cannot dislike a country because people make the country. The politics can be the only thing you can dislike because in certain countries they spread untruths about those people who live in different countries. Really, it's answer is don't ask diotic questions. So I switched off.
Well happy Birthday to your Wife. ☺
I've heard a few Americans saying New York was a shitty country.
Britain has been invaded so many times over the centuries and then invaded and colonised all over the place, that I guess they feel some sort of kinship to almost everyone. (Bar themselves).
I would imagine that the name of the channel would be short for "Gus on the go" (he goes to different countries asking these questions)
Happy Birthday to your wife🎉
Who is Mr Rogers???
Prob means 'Gus on the go'......?
Make me laugh a Irishman in England saying he doesn’t like the country😂😂😂😂😂
If you were a liberal Filipino American who cared at least a fraction about your heritage and were privileged enough that your foreign grandparents experienced higher education, your answer may have briefly been "US" but has then switched to "China" and will stay as that for the foreseeable future.
Lol this is a no brainer, when people are angry with their own government they will often answer their own country! Britons are much better world travellers because the are only a hop, skip, and jump from nearly everywhere and travel costs are cheaper.
Who's mr rodgers?
I believe that the British can afford to be pleasant towards much of the world, given that it wasn't all that long ago that most of a standard globe was pink. The old noblesse oblige still shines on through.
I don't think we often hate places. I have been to places I didn't really like much, but hate? No. The last thing I really hated was a quiz night from work where it was really loud and all the questions were about things I know nothing about. I was so bored.
Im personally grateful to have a life as an American ...
You dont get much annual leave thats why you dont travel much
Cyprus is actually divided. Turkey is ocuppying the East North side of the island
Maybe a better question would be to ask which governments of other nations they don't like. I think they were commenting on the actual people not their rulers.
I loved living in England (and I did it on a budget since I was a lowly airman). But I can't say I've ever hated an entire country of people. I'm not sure that's even a realistic thing since countries are made up of some many different people. (not real fond of reaction videos though but I was curious in this case since I lived in England 2 years).
A: I think they mentioned England more than the States.
B: Of course they do not like countries but it is how one will frame it. And it also may be some hesitation because no one wants to say something that could be viewed in a wrong light since this is on the internet. I personally would say all dictatorships and especially the ones waging war. People I can not judge but the countries politics I can.
In Europe, no one would mention North Korea, because no one would ever go there. I liked this video. I do not think people hate the US, it is a beautiful country. It is more that they want to criticize the US lifestyle (like unhealthy food and being arrogant and ignorant at the same time). Americans do not travel to other countries because their country is so big. In Europe, there are a lot of different countries, like Cyprus for example. And England has a lot of contacts with former colonies, so they know a lot about India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Egypt and so on. In the Netherlands, the US is a very popular country to visit. The country is gorgeous, but the extremes between very rich and very poor are shocking.
Hi! New on your channel 😄
I'm from Israel and apparently we are much more similar to Americans then to Europeans! :)
Clwaely it was a wrong questio the question, for it refers to The Country. Now if it was about The People of a county, that's a very different question, Personally, I don't think there's a lot about the US as a country to dislike; It's the people that are the problem!
