You are very likely right. Probably this type of thinking comes from the fact that some Americans, notably around this thread tend to express how much America is much better at pretty much anything andevrything under the sun than anywhere other place. I believe some people have a hard time balancing their statements.

It's like if repeating the same lie a million times would make it any more true.
It's obviously because most of the posters here are American themselves. It's only natural. Maybe this subforum should be renamed "Americans talk about Europe and compare it to America"?
I doesn't really matter what nationality the poster is - American posters aren't special - its still the EUROPE forum.
Anyways I still can't understand why Americans are so concerned about Europe's demographics when they don't affect them at all.
Europe has a knack for drawing America into it's failed socialist experiments (see: Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, etc.). I wouldn't be surprised if we end up cleaning up Europe's mess, again.
Western Europe is finished. They had a good run while it lasted, they truly did, but in the end they chose to emasculate their men with radical feminism and created a society of government-dependent permanent students. The majority cast off their very own heritage, Christianity, and replaced it with a religion of unsustainable socialism, cultural marxism, anti-racism, anti-Christianity, anti-Europeanism, anti-Americanism, atheism, state moralism and other feel-good self-defeating principles. Believers refuse to re-examine their beliefs and continue to cling to their ideologies even in the face of imminent collapse, and look to blame the Americans, the Jews, and anyone and anything but their coveted new religious ideals for their steep decline.

A new Syrian refugee in Denmark (and ISIS supporter) just had her Danish girlfriend slaughter her own mother. Apparently the mother was opposed to her daughter moving to Syria to join ISIS.

The Nazi Party (The National Socialists) were socially far-right wing, but state socialists nonetheless. As long as you were part of the German nation, you were included. Look at the right-wing parties in Sweden; they are self-avowed socialists, yet only want to include native white Swedes. The Nazis were of a similar but more extreme vein. Designations such as "right" and "left" are more or less meaningless. The Nazis were unabashed state socialists and advocated extensive state intervention in every facet of German life, from the economy to the ideas that one could express.
Modern leftists don't like this and make the false conclusion that a "right-wing" party can't be socialist. Contrary to the beliefs of many, socialism does not equal tolerance or anti-racism. Many modern European socialists have adopted causes such as feminism and environmentalism, but these ideologies in themselves are not a part of socialism. The antithesis of socialism would be a completely hands off approach to government, an approach to government that is the polar opposite of that which the National Socialists adopted.

Unreal post. You're a professor? That is a bit scary.

Bullseye Hobbs. It's basically a religion now that can't be questioned.
I'm an American. sorry I don't get the hate. Europe has so much to be proud of I don't understand why you are all so angry. I have friends in England and in NZ.
Western Europe is a total mystery to me -- as this is where my ancestors were born in the 16th century-- due to fluid land boundaries that changed often. Toward the end of the 16th century the first black slave was kidnapped in Africa and deposited on the shores of a new world amongst indian tribes that had lived for centuries on the eastern seaboard. This is the first recorded blending of cultures, histories, and religions in North America. I occurred prior to the dawn of the year 1600. Texel played a big part in my family history, too.
I am proud of my European roots. I don't know why you are not proud of yours? I don't think America is any more, or any less, special than Europe. The biggest difference is physical size. We have many small shires and villages too, as well as mountains, and rivers, and some of the foulest weather known to man. It is not a land of milk and honey.
Instead of hating maybe we can talk about whatever the "IT is that bothers others?

I guess you should just read up on the conflict between Hitler and the Strasser brothers.
