The thing is that people are different. Some are leaders, who work hard to get somewhere high in life, and the rest..well like you mentioned, they live for the moment. I do not like to live the moment. I like to think ahead and I like to plan things out. I do not want to waste my time with things that will only waste me time.

I do have fun, when I need to have fun. But at my age, I need to work and study, because its the only time in life where I can do that. Maybe your conception of living is that you have fun..and all your life you work for a company 40 hours a week. Well I'm different. If i had the chance to work more, I would because I dont want to work for this company, I want to own it. So one day, when I have everything else in line, I can fly with private jets and yatchs, etc etc. Dont think that I will be 60 when I do this, I can do this when im 35 or even 40, which is a perfect time to enjoy it. That will make me happy, and I'm sure you wouldnt mind too, but you just dont want to take that road, thats where it seperates us.

More than 40 hours a week?! Sod that!! We have laws in the EU to prevent things like that!!

But why to you take in consideration death anyways? Why dont you compare the lifestyle that I will have with money, and the lifestyle you will have without money.

So Americans have money and Europeans dont? Well leaving the obvious aside that that is a load of crap, lets think about the poverty rates between the EU and America...

And within the EU itself, the highest poverty rate is in the UK, the country with the American style economy...

for alcoholics, yes you're right.

as to other comments, do you even THINK before posting?

the UK poverty line = 17 percent

the US = 12.

not to mention that the population is larger and much more diverse. so you have to look at ALL of Europe or EU to compare to America. And yes America is ALOT richer. and the average population below poverty line...yep you guessed it about 18 percent...MORE THAN THE US!

the US has a GDP just barely lower than EU but per capita EU falls way short at only 26,000.

Actually, the American system is good for alcoholics while the European system is good for responsible citizens that can somewhat handle alcohol.

2% of the population shouldn't ruin the fun for the rest.

I didn't say they didn't drink, there is a difference between drinking and being an alcoholic. Liberal drinking laws are good for the normal ppl, but bad for the ones that can't handle alcohol (the alcoholics). Get what I mean?

Where did this hostility come from? All what I said was that there are alcoholics all over the world it isn't in just Europe. And haven't you seen Joe millionaire where they brought the European girls and they dranked a lot of wine and they still weren't drunk. European's drink a lot of alcohol and have a higher tolerance to alcohol. Unlike Americans who would be drunk after the second shot of alcohol. Gosh us Americans sure are wimps.

The thing I like about Europe is that they are very liberal and nice people. The thing I like about Americans is that they are very business oriented and when it comes to making money Americans know how(at least most of them).

you've made an extremely dumb and stereotypical (your own) comment. america is made up of slavs, irish, scots, germans etc who can outdrink other nationalities. so how are you going to say "americans" can't drink. btw, wine doesn't count. i can drink a whole bottle and be absolutely fine, a bit buzzed but not piss myself drunk.

You say that Amercians can outdrink the rest of the world. Yet Americans are the most immature drinkers that they need a law to prevent people from drinking under the rediculous age of 21. What does that say about Americans? Either they are too stupid at drinking that they need a law to prevent stupidity when drinking, or that when they actually can start drinking in public places at 21 they don't exactly know how to handle themselves.

The American law prevents this maturity from occuring, further retarding the younger generations as to how to handle themselves when they drink.

No I said America has 300 million people alot of which are scots, irish, welsh, english, russians, ukranians, romanians, bulgarians, albanians, poles, belarusians, uzbekis, georgians, etc who CAN drink.

stronger drinking rules are needed more in Eastern Europe than here. oh and Mexico is the shining example of what drinking in a country should be like .

Why dont you cover things that Americans are harder workers and later in thier lifetime they will propobly become wealthy, while lazy ass germans go partying all thier lifes and are basicly broke most of the time? Your an idiot Hardprod, you are a brainwashed liberal who cares more about things that arent so important and you always want to let America down by the little negativity. I cant bealive no one tells you how shitty your threads are.

You're such an idiot.

Germany would probably have a better military if it wasnt still under huge restrictions by the rest of the world after their military supremacy during WWII. Also Germans are not broke, Germany is one of the richest countries on the planet... Also they are extremely hard working and are known for their efficiency, strictness in many instances and are so well educated it's unreal. (It costs between 500-1000 euros to go to University/college in Germany, not per semester, PER PROGRAM). And dont try to tell me the schools in Germany are bad, as they pwn North American countries when it comes to Educational standards.
