The obsession seems mutual.. Many americans obviously care about what goes on in europe too. And it's not suprising. The USA and the EU are the world's strongest and richest powers, with common heritage and a long history together. it's a kind of sibling rivalry.. we're both in the same family: our heritage is western, a mix of greek, roman, christian.. plus some germanic, slavic and celtic. that is what makes such chauvinism as displayed by the OP really really stupid. Americans are europeans, and the US is a european off-shoot. ffs, everything that makes you good is european. You are just europeans who happen to live outside europe, basically.
I am ignorant regarding many things. You won't find any posts from me describing happenings outside of my region.
Take all interest you care to regarding illegal Mexican immigration into the US. What personal domestic affairs in your country concern you most?
I will tell you what.....when winter comes to Massachusetts your damn right I want to get out of here!! LOL!! Freakin' -35 below zero F. wind chills and 7 feet of snow in just 72 hours......it's straight to Cancun!! LOL!! AA
Often, those people are just narrow minded and haven't traveled. I'm American, but I'm happy my military experience allowed me to see a other nations and people.
