Answer:
It's not like the USA doesn't do that to other countries. How many wars have they started because they couldn't mind their own business? Do you think that a country should just have the right to go in and start a war when it doesn't like the way another country operates and expect nobody to be affected by that? That's why many people find it hard to have sympathy when Americans cry "TERRORISM". 'Cause the USA is guilty of terrorism itself. The only people the USA has to blame for their reputation is themselves. Don't get me wrong. Canada has done damage to people in the past as well (for example: residential schools, mistreating aboriginal people, etc), and there are people who try to hide it, but this question is about Americans.

I would say they were no different to Americans chiming in and telling other people how to run their business/country.

Turnabout's fair play, I'd say. :):)

I think its better than invading a country because you don't like how they handle their business. You shouldn't get so worked up about people voicing their opinions on the internet. There's nothing wrong with a non-American having an opinion on America. Plus how many Americans are speaking out about the burka being banned in France? And that's just one example.

Exactly the same as I think about Americans commenting on the actions of other countries, or people commenting on the actions of their friends and neighbours - it's inevitable and not worth bothering about.

As when America sneezes, the rest of the world catches a cold!

I think everyone is entitled to an opinion. What I don't like is how America is criticized for wars, interventions and not minding her own business, but then also criticized for NOT helping or intervening in other various atrocities or natural disasters. I would like nothing more than for America to become totally neutral.

The same reason why a person who is not a parent gives advice to parents, or a smoker to a non-smoker to give a different perspective. Having people of different countries, cultures, religion and ethnicity share their opinions about things not necessarily relating to them, leaves room for more solutions. So, in other words people who are not americans are able to see the problems that are in america in a way many americans cannot because they are biased. I wouldn't look at it as a negative thing because in the end sharing opinions although sometimes bad makes people rethink their views. To add, since the world is becoming more interdependent and issues happening in one countries effects many other countries it is hard for people not to "chim" in on other countries business. Since there are so many agreements, treaties and organizations in which many countries are involved one countries problem becomes another. I have read some of the things you stated on others comments and your views would be rational even possible if we lived in the 1880s when the world wasn't a global village. Also you are acting as if America is the only country that gives money to undeveloped countries or countries in need. Many other countries like Canada, Britain and Russia all give aid, just naming a few. Also the comment about giving money to the European countries, The american government did that with other motives in mind other than just helping. When directly relating to the 1940s the american government created the marshall plan and gave lots of money to european countries in hopes of countering influences of communism and breaking the sphere of influence that the soviets were creating. Let me make it clear not every act of charity is for a political motive some are, and that is the reality when concerning all countries. I'm also surprised about the healthcare comment because i thought Canada had a better healthcare plan than america. So i don't know why canadians would cross the border for health care. Can you please explain, i am genuinely interested and would like to hear more on that one example.

Nothing.Don't we put out panties in every other twist?If we don't like them to comment, then we should have left Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and all to handle their business by their own.We didn't so, we should thank them that they are just chiming only!

Good, good. More communication, across the globe on the affairs of any and all nations. We've only been here a few hundred years. We don't have too much of a history to fall back on. Might as well be the new kid on the block and listen to the old timers chirp in. :) I like foreigners giving opinions on American affairs. Just don't be surprised when we dish it back out there.
