What is wrong with Europe? (illegal aliens, death, party, money)

[123cop]

Seriously, what is wrong with Europe?

As if running with the bulls isn't barbaric enough, I saw on television that they now gather wild horses in a small arena and dive on their backs to try to remove their manes.

So I ask what the heck is wrong with people in Europe? Kids in their 20s and 30s aren't getting married, aren't having babies, living w/ their parents, partying all through the night. The kids riot when the govt tries to remove ridiculous laws that ban employers from firing people.

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.

There's not a thing wrong with Europe.
It is what it is.

I don't think anyone who has worked at a commercial slaughterhouse in the US would call our way of dealing with animals "compassionate." It's an out of sight, out of mind kind of thing. People freak out when the BLM wants to euthanize some mustangs to keep them from starving due to lack of grazing space. But when a couple thousand cows per week are improperly slaughtered to save money, and end up dying when the machines rip them apart (rather than from the captive bolt pistol), nobody much cares.

And I like a whole lot about it. Especially running with the bulls at San fermin. So did Hemmigway and I like his work too. In Southern Italy and Southern Spain people are still having kids and quite a few.

The only people having lots of kids in America are illegal aliens. Buenos Dias Paco.

first of all europe isn't a single country, but a continent made up of various different countries.

second of all, while western europe has some major issues regarding birthrates, when it comes to quality of life, there quite a few cities and countries that top the charts.

it is also very narrow minded to view another area with one's personal moral compass. many european countries are more liberalized in thinking, and it happens to jive with my morality so i see no issue with theirs. The god issue isn't really any concern, if anything i wish the united states mirrored scandinavia in that respect (i.e. % that ascribe to a god and quality of life).

the united states has its own great points as well as its faults, and so does europe and other areas around the world. luckily if one is educated and/or skilled enough, one can have the mobility to live in an area that suits their tastes the best.

P.S. europeans play proper 'football' and not what is supposed to be called gridiron, so they come out on top. :-)

heh, but in all seriousness, to each his own.

What's wrong with the OP? Can't even make a distinction between the different cultures and countries in Europe. Maybe we need to have better edumacation here :P

Why is running with the bulls barbaric? At least the bulls get a chance to knock a bunch of drunks around.

Payback for all the bullfights where they get gored to death.

Europe is 10-20 years ahead of America. What we see happening there right now will be happening here next decade. Sad, but true. Millions of people LEFT Europe so we could be different from them, but now the left wing wants to Europeanize America.

If liberals love Sweeden so much, why not move there?

For an English speaking person who wants to understand something about the bullfight I suggest you read "Death in the Afternoon". "La Corrida" or "La Fiesta Nacional" is among other things a lesson in our own mortality.

Because the liberals actively take part in changing our very malleable system. The conservs just sit on their arse and complain Doesn't seem like the liberals are the ones that need to move :P
