"Don't know any Belgium jokes, and if I did I think I'd have the good sense not to... hang on. Is Belgium with all those child abuse murders lately? I do know a Belgium joke. What's Belgium famous for? Chocolates and child abuse, and they only invented the chocolates to get to the kids."

He doesn't know. In his country "hating on America" is being a hipster. Anyone that lumps a population as a whole based on misconceptions (I bet he thinks we all live like Baywatch or 90210), is a very small minded individual.
Also. I don't like Belgium, solely based on this guys prejudice.

How is simply stating he doesn't like it "hating on America"? For all you know he visited and had a bad experience or something. You have no idea he's judging based on misconceptions. You're forming a lot of assumptions there.
And you say he's a small minded individual.

You are very pedantic, yet I said "hating on". It is slang for "dislike". I hope that's cleared up. If you want to quote me, do it accurately, please.

The OP is celebrating an American holiday. He posts "I don't like the USA". Isn't it a larger person to simply let another enjoy his day?

Yeah but I do think you overreacted a bit and got slightly more defensive than necessary. I'm going to guess you're American, so you have every right to be defensive of your country. I'm British (although I lived in the states for a while and have traveled there a lot and quite like it) so maybe it's hard for me to directly relate. I dunno. I just think all the assumptions you made were a bit uncalled for. Just my opinion.

Overreacted? My only statement is that he needs to let someone else enjoy his holiday, even his country, without making a negative remark about it. Anyone that has a differing opinion is "over-reacting"?
I would have had the same response if he said "I dislike Belgium" on a Belgium holiday.

Whole bunch of rash assumptions. Saying that hating a country based on misconceptions makes you small minded is accurate, yes, but you don't know that he was basing his statement on misconceptions or that he thinks your country is like those TV shows or that in his country hating America makes you a hipster or any of that.
In all honesty though I don't give a shit what you do so have at it. Like I said, just sharing my opinion.

I don't think you have anything to apologise for. You never said you hated it, you're just not crazy about it and I'm sure you have your reasons for it. You have every right to feel that way and people freaking out because of it is just ridiculous.
