europe is better than america

and danm proud of it!

 

"Europe" covers a lot of territory. America does too.

When discussing things of this nature, it helps to be more specific. I wouldn't want to live in Belarus or Greece, but then again, I also wouldn't want to live in Mississippi or Alabama either.

On the other hand, Norway is nice, and so is Seattle.

 

Greece is very nice especially the Greek Islands.

 

Maybe the rural areas are nice, but what I've read about Athens has been very disturbing.

 

Athens from my experience is not that great apart from the obvious historical sites and I could not wait to get out of it,the traffic was crap but outside the cities Greece is lovely.

 

Aside from my historical bias by which I think all former empires are cuul, there's just something about you people.. I think, I don't like french very much.. but then I kinda do. No wait, maybe it's because I've watched Amelie.

 

The opposite is more like it; The USA is much stronger than we are. Anyways, there's no war or conflict. why? Because the western world should be co-operating and be friends simply because we're the best and because we don't like the god(*)(*)(*)(*) chinese (!!!). You really ought to watch some pro american clips because not all they've done is bad Charlie. You should sit down and think about all the good things the USA has done; like the marshall aid, containing communism, technological advances, protecting weaker countries. Think how the world would be without them.

 

When someone opens a thread like... "I am better than Ctrl"... Ctrl already won.

Admonishment is the song of the trembling cowards self-validation.


I cannot imagine why you feel this way. Your country is probably very nice... without the need to hide behind all of Europe... because... let's be honest... all of Europe is not created equal now is it?


Just have pride in who you are and better yet, what you have done for YOUR country. Don't you worry your pretty little head about ours... God knows we don't about yours.

 

Europe and America can not exist without each other , sometimes one side of the Atlantic leads the developments and sometimes the other while pissing contests are only good for nationalists .
That said as a European i don't think that Europe is one very coherent thing but i guess same happens with America , east vs west , north vs south , US vs Canada etc , there are a lot of differences.

 

No america is all one united in the cause of greatness champions of the world second to none just overall deserving of being worshipped

 

no, not the same at all. at all. there's much more diversity in europe, and europe has never been unified. The minor differences between alabama and california is dwarfed by the differences in europe.

 

The OP's continued attempt to prove something says a lot about the OP. Manhood issues maybe?

 

It's common in europe that the broad masses are anti-american for seemingly no reason at all. Our media is pretty biased though, that might be it.

 

It should be pointed out that Europe is trying to centralize to mirror what can be done as American has proven by uniting 50 separate States.

 

You didn't unify fifty different cultures and languages with historical grieviances though. good look with that if you ever try it.

 

Europeans don't shower. They smell and try to cover it up with perfume.

 

What differences in Europe? I have met people from all possible or impossible (San Marinan - Faroese) European nationalities and the only ones that i can not get along with are the Brits . I have no trouble understanding educated / open minded people from NYC or LA but the vast majority of the rural Alabamans are like remnants of the dark ages .
My point is that when it comes to US/Canada/Europe/South east Latin America relations we are members of the same civilisation and we can in most cases perfectly understand each other. For example Americans are okay reading Umberto Eco while we can love Tom Robbins, we can adore pop art as they can appreciate surrealism without a need to take a step closing a cultural gap because there is no cultural gap.

 

that would be true 300 years ago I'll give you that.

 

We're all part of a bigger western culture yes, but there's still differences in europe. has nothing to do with openness, it's just different.

 

I was in Germany about eight years ago. The people were very gamy.

I was told it is because their water is very expensive.

 

thats only recently, athens and greece would have been wonderful places to live until about 18 months ago

 

marshall plan you mean by which america got rich at the expense of other countries, containing communism by killing lots and lots of people and who said communism needed contained anyway, and they have never protected any weaker countries

 

"...athens and greece would have been wonderful places to live until about 18 months ago"

Taxcutter notes:
That's when they ran out of other people's money.

 

taxcutter has no idea about greece, charliechalk notes

 

The marshall plan as in the USA giving financial suuport and cheap loans (iirc) to the free countries of the world to help them recover and hold off communism I mean. Yes the USA might have gotten richer in the end due to increased trading and that but so did europe and the rest affected, win-win situation.

And yes, communism needed to be contained. I know you're a lefty Charlie but this isn't social democracy we're talking about, it's freaking stalinism and maoism; the variants of communism responsible for the deaths of 100+ millions of people; two of the most authoritarian systems ever to be thought of. You can't possibly say that there'd be nothing wrong with the Soviet Union expanding it's infuence if you look how communist countries looked in that time, and how the Soviets treated their sphere. There's a reason eastern europe is soo behind and that reason is communism.

And, the US has protected weaker countries; in the aftermath of the second world war there were only two major powers standing, the USA and the USSR. If it wasn't for the USA do you think the USSR would have left the weakened europe alone? Do you think china would have let Taiwan be? how would Japan have fared?
