Why do They Hate Us?

I think Hollywood is the reason why many traditional societies hate us. I have traveled around the world a little, and the image people have of us is almost exclusively a Hollywood one. Rampant drug use, unbridled greed, thuggish behavior glorified, women degraded or more commonly degrading themselves, young people disrespecting their elders. Celebrity culture celebrates boys as gangstas, young girls as booty shaking tramps. Normal people like the ones you and I know are trotted out only to be made fun of.

To the rest of the world, thanks to Hollywood, we are the seven deadly sins personified. If you were a parent in a traditional society, would you want your kids exposed to that? Would you want anything to do with a country like that? Normal people don't want their daughters dressing and behaving like a Hollywood tramp. Parents want their son to grow up to be a real man who respects women and acts responsibly.

Hollywood is so far removed from the real America, but Hollywood is what the rest of the world sees. Is it any wonder they hate us?
