No it's called responding to a post from another member. You weren't involved in that exchange yet have to jump in for some unknown reason. Didn't your parents teach you to speak only when spoken to? Take it to this medium and post only when posted to. Or more likely your parents were too busy working at the syrup factory to teach you any manners.

Read your own thread title to learn what your topic as about. Europe vs America. The American dream was brought up and I responded. Don't like it then take America out of your "subject" and blather about how Europe is so wonderful compared to some other country.

When people talk about the good aspects of Europe, they're usually referring to a handful of Western European countries- France, UK, Germany, the lowland countries and Scandinavia (not including Finland). Outside of that, the South and the East of Europe can be pretty rough. The last major genocide in Europe was only 18 years ago. Hopefully the continent has turned the corner on the last 6 centuries of war, imperialism, and ethnic conflicts.

Any of Europe's overseas territories are free to end their affiliation with Europe, all they need to do is vote accordingly, but they don't seem to want to.
Have you heard of the Falkland Islands?

Here's one place Europe has an edge against America: Less religious nutbaggery.

You don't have to have a genocide. However, saying you peacefully coexist is a stretch. You hate each other. The blacks vs the whites vs the Hispanics vs the Muslims vs the Republicans vs the Democrats vs the religeous vs the atheists. All you have to do is read these forums to get a taste of the sheer loathing one group has towards the other.

The majority of U.S. people do not live in the beautiful Connecticut countryside.

Thank you for caring, though.
