ohh, yes, agree

I always wondered why americans seem to hate the french so much. They were against the war, sure, but there has to be something else..?

BTW, Europe kicks ass

"It's the final countdown...."

I have no idea why a bunch of people hate the French. I'm American but only in touch with liberal ideas.

I think I like Europeans because EDM has spread more widely there. :P

All the music people talk about over here is rap, hip-hop, pop, alternative, etc.

Also I have the impression that many Europeans are more liberal and open minded.

I have some really great European friends, I also have some European foes. So really, It's a mixed feeling.

yap and they all slim too
gogo euro's!!

I remember someone said that Americans are from Mars, Europeans are from Venus....I find it to be largely true.

europeans, best people in the world??

while i was living in germany, i could talk to a 16 year old girl, very attractive, and very smart, knowledgable, about the world, science, while also having fun.

i come to america. talking to a 16 year olf girl here is like talking to a 7 year old in germany, while that 16 year old girl in germany is like a 26 year old american.

i have been in american school for almost 2 months now, and the school is run like a communist state. class start at 7am to 3pm, u cant leave campus for lunch, resulting in a monopoly of the food trade during the lunch hour. therefore, since there is no competition of food on campus, the quality of the food goes down the drain. cold pizza for lunch, and nasty sausage sandwich for breakfast. yuck! i also have to take night school, because this american school i go to did not accept many of my german classes, such as my language class, my english class, and my social studie class. so i have to take all of them all over again AND go to night school 2 times a week, if i want to graduate on time.

school in germany was so much easier. starting at 8.10am, getting out usually around 1.30pm. u could walk to school, or ride the public bus, or bike. then after, u could go to the park, play some football with some friends, and buy yourself slushie!!! on weekends, there was clubs that anyone can go to. drinking age was 16, so everything was so nice. those was the good old dayssszzz.z.zzzzz.zzzzzzz

I went back to Ukraine for a month after living 7 years in Canada and I was just shocked at how mint girls there are.

Anyway, I just cant wait until i get my degree so i can move to western europe

oh my god, after being spoiled by the German Education System, i hate american school.

oh yeah, Europeans don't bathe enough and the women have hair armpits.

Well, since we're all enjoying generalizations I'll tackle the problem I have with Europe. It's still stuck in the enlightenement.

What I'm saying is that Europe has become a continent of little action and a lot of talk. Iraq disobeys UN policies, let's talk about it. Bosnia is a mess, let's talk about it. We are filled with racial and ethnic strife, let's talk about it. Isreal/Palestine is a disaster, let's talk about it. Germany is invading, let's talk about it. There's still this perverse vision that all solutions can be solved through negotiation and the perserverance of the "good" of humanity.

I think on the other hand Americans are the eternal "realists," and that's where many of the problems between the US and Europe come from. Japan bombs Pearl Harbor, we attack. Terrorists fly planes into our buildings, we attack. Somebody decides to go against the UN or our ideals of civility, we attack. I'm not saying that we won't try diplomacy first, but we are in no way afraid to take *real* action when lines of communication become pointless.

As far as France goes, I think they prove this difference of the two continents to the maximum, although they have the added bonuses of hypocracy and arrogance. They tell us not to invade Iraq, with its obvious humanitarian and political issues while they go into Africa, alone, and now are saying we should go into Haiti, both with no magical UN resolutions they were looking for in Iraq.

I could go on about France, but something tells me I've already written enough cannon fodder for a couple pages.

Certain parts of Europe that I lived in I found to be somewhat xenophobic. Some people were downright hostile to foreigners, and especially if you're an immigrant. I think that there's a completely different mindset sometimes when you go outside the traditional touristy areas. Other parts of Europe I found people everywhere were as nice as can be. I dunno ... like any place else it varies.

Many ignorant Americans have that "we saved your ass in WWII" mentality, but not all Americans hate the French.

About sums it up

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm europe mmmmmmmmmmmmm

kinda like how if a foreigner or an immigrant were to live in a southern redneck state people living there would probably be more xenophobic to them then people from new york or LA

must.. MUST.. must... muST .. must restrain myself..

Polish people are the best

UN RESOLUTION! NOT US RESOLUTION! Where are the 200-500 Tons of mustard gas and chemical weapons?

We can attack terrorist and so-called terrorist like Iraq all we want but it's not going to slove anything except creating more hate towards us. Just a stupid war like the war on drugs, it will never end.

You do know that France is only willing to enter Haiti as long as the international community let's them, right? And they have not made a coalition of the bribed either. As for the whole Africa (forgot country) thing, there were/are alot of French citizens there as well as it used to be a former colony. Oh and nice job capping on one country out of what 35 in Euro?

If talks prevent loss of life, war, and military build-up... lets talk forever
