I think the flag-wavers and Tea Party rednecks are taught that the Earth is 6000 years old, an entity called 'god' created it something like 4000 BC, in 7 days time. But remember, the Muslim god is different, evil and hate liberty. Obamacare is also a threat to liberty and freedom. My country has 2.5 socialist parties in the government, and it is ranked as 1st on the global freedom of press index. So socialism is against liberty and ruins the society. Liberal freedom-loving 'Murica is something like 30th.
I don't care if this is true or a hoax, it's undecided still, but it's just a symbol as how wicked some people are:
True. I try my best not to be arrogant, but seriously. If one is interested in how the modern Western societies were born, the structures, ideas and philosophy behind them, one quickly realize they are European inventions. Not all people think the climate of California is perfect, or that the culture is the best there is.
Linda, do you appreciate more the shallow Hollywood styled surfing/tanning/fake boob culture of California, or do you want to hit the Louvre or the historical centre of Lübeck instead? Haven't been in the Rijksmuseum yet, but sure would want to visit it instead of hitting a beach in LA.
I'm also under the impression that many Americans don't appreciate the 'Beach Boy' culture very much. Of course California has a good economy, a massive intellectual base and good ideas will come from there, but it's a terribly young state. Europe has a brilliant history spanning a thousand years before the first European even visited the Californian coast.
The Bible is the truth. Satan on the otherhand, manipulates things to try to turn people away from God. An example of this are fossils and other things found in the ground that are thought to be very old when in actuality, the devil is just trying to make things older. The Earth really is 10,000 years old, not 6.4 billion or how ever old as scientists and the devil want us to think.

OK, noted! I have never been interested in exploring ways of thinking of rednecks....
I have a question concerning your country. I have read about a remarkable cathedral in Helsinki. It is supposedly made out of stones but I can´t remember the name...
* Everything is smaller (houses/apartments, roads, food portions, buildings, stores, etc.)
* High unemployment rate (Esp. in Eastern and Southern Europe)
* High youth unemployment rate in Western and Northern Europe
* Very high taxes
* Basically everything is more expensive
* Confusing road system and signs
* Less demographic diversity (but too high Islamic immigration)
* Less freedom
* Lack of skyscrapers in most cities
* No real and true suburban area like in the U.S./Canada
* Close to the Middle East (generally bad region)
* Less climate and landscape diversity (No tropical or desert climate in mainland Europe, and most of Europe have much less sunshine than most of U.S. and even Canada)
* Too many national languages
* Way less shopping stores and shopping opportunity (No wonder why Europeans go crazy when shopping in America)
* Big houses (McMansions) are rare
* Having own individual car is relatively uncommon
* Central Air and Heat is rare and something luxury
* Everything is too old
Feel free to add
How about this one: I do not want to live in Europe because: I am an AMERICAN!
That's kinda the point. You (most Americans) are too nationalistic to view issues. Thus USA struggles to evolve
Still talking about fore fathers
Oh honey now now we have a president with a Muslim name that's black...that's evolving. Not to mention we have what 100 million under legalized gay marriage. I wont even start on abortion.

- USA has high unemployment rate
- More expensive but much better quality
- Less freedoms is blatant lie. Only someone that has never been there would say that
- Suburbia sucks. You can live in big cities in Europe because less Crime & "diversity"
- Languages are bad? That's a personal educational issue
- Who in this thread lives in a mansion and it not being in the boonies
- Cars are a money pit. Less crime and better city planning means you can use public transportation
So basically USA has better material things. Newer and shinier. (But breaks quickly)

I like both, to be honest. I don't think there is anything wrong with American popular culture, Hollywood movies, McDonald's, Disneyland, etc. and I don't think Americans should be apologetic about them. The US is nothing like Europe but that's not a bad thing. I love Europe for what it is and I love the US for what it is. The US is new and modern and that's part of its charm. Europe cherishes its cultural heritage and that's part of its charm. That's why I don't "miss" a place like Las Vegas in Europe and I don't "miss" medieval castles in the US.

I live in a mansion and dont live in the boonies, in fact im 5 min. away from the tallest building in america. Can i remind you the USA has a lower unemployment rate than 80% of the countries in europe. Can i also remind you many countries like the UK have a higher crime rate than the USA. And Education lol we have the best university in the world and the most best ones too. Now how about your ignorance?
