i'm not saying we are better or more intelligent but a lot of americans have such a judgemental and closeminded point of view on the rest of the world.
That there seems like a judgemental view of Americans.
oh really now? i have yet to see proof that most americans aren't prejudiced indoctrined loonies, that only care about themselves.
How many times have you been to America?
twice actually. now, don't get me wrong. There are enough people who know how to care for others but from what i saw your country is divided in two. for every caring person i saw, there were 3 total freaks. You find it normal when you go to a bar, to be insulted for 'stinky european' by some guy without teeth and with several stab wounds, WHICH he proudly shows every 4 minutes?
My colleauge got beat up and muggedi in a taxi in Germany because drunk Robbie Williams fans wanted the Taxi and were pissed he got it. Don't pull that Europe is kind bullshit on me. It is just as fucked up if not worse then then the US. If you don't kjnow that, it is because you stay in your house 24/7. I have been to Germany, Ireland, England, Scotland, Italy, Greece, France and I know Euro is just as fucked up as the US, you deny it you are full of shit. The reasons euro's see a lot of coutnry is becuase you all might as well be the same as the USA and just call Europe a country and all the countries states since you have the EU and one currency. Don't fucking jump on the US. Maybe these other dudes haven't been there but I have and I know for sure it is just and more fucked up then the US.
here comes arrogance itself! I have been to more countries in Europe than you, probably more times as well. I've been to the UK, Ireland, Holland, Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, Greece, Cyprus, hell i even went to freaking Slovenia. Never have i encountered things there like those i saw in the states. i don't hate or dislike america nor the people that live there, but let's face it, like every country, the usa has problems. The only thing is that those problems seem worse than anywhere else.
Europe is more social, we pay higher taxes cuz our hospitals and schools get more money. We do no trip over homeless people in the streets, and
there is very little gang culture (except maybe the english soccer fans). My least favourite european country is italy (non prendertela, eh dago?), I find it unhygenic and disorganized. only good thing is the Pizza and Luca Turilli.
so leee, don't try to say that europe is more fucked up than the states, because that is not true. there are like 100 gun murders in europe every year, in canada like 1 a year, and in the usa something like 5000 annualy. so just shut up.
maybe that's the way it goes in Switzerland and all, but i can say from own experiences that there is a pretty big, and still growing gang existence. In belgium, which is supposed to be this 'Eden', i hear 'shocking' things about the gangs daily. Our cities are starting to become battlefields, our capital is a melting pot of over 14 foreign minorities, that are starting to get pissed that a lot of 'real' Belgians complain about them. In two months we had: a stabbing of a teenager by a 16 and 18 year olds, for a fucking MP3 player! Then we had a guy who got kicked out of school, so he decided to kill a black nanny AND ironically enough a white little girl and seriously injured a Turkish woman. And the latest incident was the beating up a train conductor on a bus by 8 minors from Morocco. And this is just the things that got media attention, and i didn't start on gang incidents. We have a regular war between gangs from Congo and gangs from the Middle-East. So for fur European Utopia
