The euro may be strong but Europe is losing it's sense of God, Family and morals very quickly.

It's funny, on american tv we watch shows like Animal Cops because we have compassion for animals. We have groups that would give their lives to save a whale. We have animal shelters on almost every corner. Americans, in general, are very compassionate people. Not just to humans but to animals.

Europe has lost it's sense of compassion, it's sense of God, it's sense of responsibility. They can't even work a 40 hour work week over there.

Don't judge a country by the strength of it's currency.. Europe is falling and falling fast.

If you don't believe me, turn on the television and watch the slaughtering of the bulls in Spain. People here say they have so much culture and so much heritage. It's not culture nor heritage.. it's animal cruelty, period.
You say Europe but Im pretty sure you mean certain countries right? You do know that people in Italy are different than the people in France and same goes for Russia, Romania, The U.K., Germany, etc. What country in particular are you referring to?

If liberals love Sweeden so much, why not move there?
I think it's funny how people always say this... about various countries. Have you visited the immigration forums here lately?

Seriously. There are immigration issues, not everyone can just up and leave the country on a whim.

I'm more fond of the phrase "US: Love it or FIX IT!"

Hey I have been to a couple bullfights and enjoyed them. You have to admit the cards are stacked against the bull though. That's why it is nice to see the tables turned during the Running of the Bulls.

I know europe is a bunch of different countries, but for brevity I'll just describe europe as a whole

Aside from Europe abandoning christianity, and grown adults living at home, I don't see much wrong with europe. I've been there twice and was always sad to leave. It's an incredible mix of different cultures, languages and traditions. While europe is far from perfect, there is a lot of good there. I accept that it is a different society from the U.S....and that's okay. You can't paint the world with an American brush

Just because they aren't consistent with your agenda doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it.

Did I miss the newsflash that the US has suddenly become vegan? We slaughter all kinds of animals and eat them. Rodeo? Circus? **** fights? Heavens, where do I begin to tear your silly argument apart?

Sooner or later (sooner I hope) we'll get tired of your changeing our "malleable" system and we'll start pushing back! Then the libs will be sorry they crapped on the Military and the G&G clingers..........
