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.
What country are your talking about? I have never seen bull fights in Finland?
And what is the BS about Europe has lost it sense of compassion. Are you ...or just extremely naive?
If I said
"what is wrong with people from the USA. Everybody has guns will shoot you if you enter their property. They all eat McDonald's and are fat They feed their kids soda instead of milk. People from the USA are Christian fanatics. Not any better then Muslim fanatics and their dictators name is Ayatollah Bush.
Do you agree with all that..? I didn't think so. It's a bunch of uneducated crap.
Whatever, have a nice day.

Newtoli.. do you have any common sense.

We are talking about today.. not hundred of years ago.. today.

Today, modern christains who are fantatics fly all over the world trying to peacefully convert people.

Today, modern Islam fanatics believe every religion other than Islam should be wiped off the face of the earth. Newtoli, yes, that even means Liberals.

123cop, have you been to Europe? Have you lived there?

I've been to every single corner of the continent (except for Scandinavia - can't afford it at my young age). It's an extremely diverse place.

I've spent well over 1/5 of my life living, traveling and WORKING in Europe, and I wouldn't begin to make the kinds of generalizations you are. Just food for thought...

So Europe doesn't know about God? I'm sure the Poles would take exception, or are they not Europeans?

If you're a social conservative, it might surprise you to know that by and large, European countries have stricter abortion laws than the U.S. does. Don't know if that has anything to do with a religious heritage.

In lots of European countries, stores are closed on Sundays. Anything to do with a religious heritage?

Taxes are still collected to support churches in a lot of countries.

You are a fool.

Yes she is. Amen to that.

I've had friends that went there to study abroad.. take in the culture and the beauty.

Yeah, they all came back missing America. They all said it's full of prostitutes and people who refuse to work.

Gotta be honest, I have no reason to go there. I will someday though.
