Under the interests and passion section for america, I realized that I hated every single one of those topics. so much for the european world class education systems. Do they not even realize that Nascar is mostly a southern thing, and that nobody likes barbie except for 4 year old girls, and nobody outside of L.A. or San Franscisco cares about celeb gossip, astrology, or soap operas? I love America, but I know that it's flawed and far from perfect, but Europe is far from the shining beacon of hope they claim to be. I usually refrain from bashing other people that I don't know everything about- unless someone ignorant decides spout all the stereotypes they have heard from their parents and the media while clearly ignoring their own twisted past.
Sorry about the long post, sometimes I just need to vent.
Why is it always US vs EU (or "Europe"). In the end, the only two parties discussing here (on mostly quite a low level) are Americans and Britons? The European region consists of many different countries. They can't be lumped together.
If any Englishman likes to compare (-→ criticize) the USA with the UK - please keep the rest of us out of it.
If a US citizen (or anyone else) doesn't know the cultural and political difference between Sweden, Ireland, Germany, Romania and Montenegro - than he or she shouldn't address any critics or comparisons towards the EU/Europe but to a distinguishable country (it's like putting North and South America in the same country).
Most people living in "Europe" don't know to much about their neighbors. Almost all they know is superficial and prejudice.
I really hate this arguement. Yes, America may not be as "cultured" as Europe but there is a signifigant reason for it and that would be age. If we are honestly going to rely on sterotypes why don't I just assume that all Europeans have body odor and seem to have never heard of a dentist.
Still didn't answer my question.
20$ is still a lot compared to our prices.
Plus we can have the plants in our house.
(1 plant per person living in the house)
btw
I wouldnt say european are better then americans
everything has pros and cons
in germany you can drink legally at age 16 and go into clubs but in america you can get your drivers license
you have to be 21 to drink in america and 18 in germany to get your drivers license
Sad, but true: that has been changed 2 years ago. Beer & the license are both 18(+) only (but who actually cares? Most stores don't ask for an identification)
Heineken is not a fine beer, :D
Come in belgium to taste some really nice beer :D
(or, since Bud is a part of a belgian compagnie now (inbev)) you can try real beer in america :)
when I read this I dont read europe I read england
why are you american always think all europe is like great britian?
seriously the bad teeth thing comes from great britian even though it isnt really true
and yeah in europe the girls did not shave like 40 years ago
and oh well if you've ever seen a damn porn from the 70's or 80's in america you'll see the girls didnt shave
or are you saying all americans are europeans?
oh well idiots
most of the americans are europeans at least their forefathers
the rest is asian
and if anyone thinks now "oh idiot and mexicans"
well mexicans come from spain
so if europe looses america looses too
or more likely asia wins lol
or africa but their forefathers didn't go to america because they wanted to so I kinda left them out
I know racist lol
times have changed. many people were from europ. now the are americans. let go europ, let go. the US is like your child that grew up. once a long time ago your flags flew. but no longer. please respect our flag. we are not european, we are American.
This is very true, can see why you'd get annoyed in the same way as when we say all aussies are descended from convicts. However there is a bit of a double standard where some groups are happy to claim their roots in Europe, like those who take pride in their being an Italian/Irish/Scottish descent or German like the Pensylvania dutch. Nothing wrong in them having pride in their herritage but then telling Europe to be the ones to let go? I know that doesn't apply to you though, just saying.
all i am saying is the US has been a country since 1776. the only people born here now are American's. i see what you are saying. to me it reminds me of blacks wanting reparations for slavery. i say ok, if you were a slave(the black in my family have been free for over 100 years) then yes you are owed money. but no blacks were born into slavery today just like all people born in the US are American.
to say that one is better than the other without a foundation to start on is just silly. why is it better? give many reason, not just one. yes the eurotrash is better at some things, and the US is better at some thing. just remeber eurotrash that russia is part of europe.
so i ask you all to try and break it down
culture:
science:
teck:
military:
cars/trucks:
and what other catigories should we add? what catagories should we take out?
i am just saying lets not just yell random thoughts, lets do it wright.
If you compare the USA and Europe it would be way more acurate to leave out Russia... On a geological basis Russia is europe but on a political basis we have the EU which is without Russia. So in order to have a slightly fair matchup it should be two political groups against each other. Or do you see that differently?
Sorry for the late reply. This post was on the front page and i just liked how you wanted to start something. Sadly no one cares.
The person doing the correcting on the first one doesn't do himself any favours. What is "intement" and why does it matter that you can get more of it in the cinema than on the streets. Also who does he mean when he says did we "forget about the nazi (singular)?
Ahh I remember 'the nazi' now, he was a right wrong 'un, killed 'the jew' as I recall. It took 'the ally' 6 years to defeat him.
ok there is no point of the arguements we are 1 world whats the point im british but i think american chicks are better lookin but were equal so shut the fuk up an get on wii ur lifes.

Well I'm an American, although due to my dad's time in the military I spent most of my time in Europe and Asia. I can tell you from personal experience that both are rich cultures, and both have thier flaws. Besides if you think about it, depending on your religious/scientific beliefs, we're all related anyway.
Europe sees America as fat, stupid, lazy, drooling war mongers, America sees Europe as a land of stuck up assholes who can't hold their own in a war. When in reality Europe in the past 150 years have gotten into 2 world wars both times requiring the help of America, imperialistically took over much of Africa during said wars, after said wars the European allied powers demanded reparations for the wars from Germany the first time it happened it led to the second war and one could argue that it played a large part in the death of 6 million jews, America absolved Germany's debt to it and didn't want to screw Germany over. My point being Europe is just a bad as everyone else
i think america definitely has its bonuses that europe cant even compete with, but having lived in america for 18 years, im starting to lean towards europe. i would gladly give up a little bit of freedom to get away from the bullshit and lazyness in this country
the numbers may seem to be off yes, but this country is full of unwilling people. and most who are willing are in a bullshit career like our 40,000 lawyers graduated a year. our country changed from an industrial top notch country that produced more then we used, meaning we exported a lot to having to import everything and sueing each other for money. its just disappointing
what numbers? there is no such thing as a bullshit career as long as it makes you happy. more and more of us educated these days, so why spend your time working in a factory when you could work with your mind. work smarter, not harder.
i agree with you on that, brains hold a lot of power, but there are definitely jobs that shouldnt have as many people as they do. my prime example is the lawyer, yes we need them but 40,000 a year? thats excessive. people these days are afraid to do anything to anyone from the fear of getting sued. we took a good democratic government system and turned it into a joke
me and my dad like to look up a lot of info. plus i got those numbers from my micro economics class. he gave us a link to an article. but thats 40,000 lawyers graduated every year. there are only 30,000 chemical engineers in the entire US alone. with only a few hundred graduated a year. all the engineers combined dont come anywhere near the amount of graduated lawyers. weve gone from an industrial nation to selling shitty cars and services. we need to export products and get a better gdp or china is going to fuck us
to the part about shitty cars, i can not more strongly disagree with you. let the market dictate how many lawyers we need, not you or i. this is how the free market works.
all im saying is when we had hundreds of thousands of industrial jobs our country was booming. then once that started declining and other jobs that dont increase america's total GDP starting increasing, is when we began leaning towards a recession
i agree in todays world we need less workers to do more work. in this country you get to decide what you want to do. you are not told what to do. the market will dictate itself.
Wait... I thought the crusades happened between 1100 and 1200... and the US was colonised in 1400.... so yea I guess you werent part of the crusades! And the burning of books happened in Berlin... one city in europe. America, fuck yeah...
Well, they shouldn't. Europe is a continent - not a country. And pls, don't say there's EU - it's European UNION, we only try to get along with each other. Still every country has own politics.
why is there everything about nazis that isnt an argument
it was germany and italy with nazis not like all europe were burning jews
and the crusades are like 800 years ago or something so please
its not like we go every sunday to church and say kill the moslems
well the relgous thing actually doesnt matter in europe its just catholic and whatever
but cheeseburgers aren't from germany seriously
and pizza may comes from italy but they only had cheese on it in america you started putting all kind of stuff on it
oh and junglehooligan
it is legal in netherland so fuck the price XD
oh and yeah the technology
well
we have the same shit as you
we have blackberries and touch phones
you know why?
because you get everything from japan
we get it too
SURPRISE lol
Oh, that's low lol. Seriously, we aren't fat. It's the same kind of stereotype as the French all being cowards, or the British all being snooty. I would include the Irish all loving beer, but that's kind of true lol

also America and Europe both have good and bad things, but together the still basically rule the world
