Seriously, what do Americans think of the great continent of Europe filled with old historic cities and of course Britain the ''motherland''

To be honest, I'd rather live in Norway or Finland than here. Not for political beliefs, but because I like their scenery and the way their cities are built and their closeness to mountains and the wilderness.

...And their climate.

Well to start with my own opinion, I wouldn't describe it as a "great" continent.

It once was - but now it is overrun by socialists and hence ruined.

Russia is pretty great - culture, history, literature, architecture.

Europe could be great if it didn't continually try to destroy itself.

Ha, I knew it would only be a few posts before some ignorant fool brought up the S word ...

(Having never been to Europe, and only knowing what he hears on Fox News ...)

I'm sure the continent and historic dwellings are superb.

It's all the Eurotrash socialists living there that ruins it.

I love European culture. Only been there once though. Certainly has many pros to living there, although it's not without its own problems.

In my opinion Europe is great with the high standard of living free healthcare (uk) and countless cultural groups.
I personally love how religon for the most part is not such an sensitive issue.

What about Liechtenstein?

Fairly low taxes.

Europe is neither as good nor as bad as many Americans seem to think.

How is it free? Do you have slave labor or something?
