What exactly does it mean when you say someone hates "America". What exactly is it that they hate? Depending on this answer, I may indeed hate America.

Ok, so by your definition, I do indeed hate America, but there are many people who do not like the 49ers who have been said to "hate America" so I must reject your definition. Is America the US Government? If so, I may hate America.

Untrue, I agree with you politically for the most part Yuki but you hate America and I don't.

No, I love America, I just hate what it's become!
/puffed up buffoonery
I do dislike jingoism, but that's got nothing to do with America in particular. I hate the mindless patriotism I see in Japan just as much.
Maybe having a global perspective is tantamount to hating America?

Yeah it is your global perspective, not the fact that you hate everything.

I'm trying to wrap it up in a neat package so I can find out if I hate America. This way, the next time someone accuses me of it, and I find I do hate America, I can say, "Yep, I do!" or if I don't I can say, "Hey, go )($*)#(* yourself."
