Well I hear that shit a lot recently - its age old shit my dick is bigger than yours, we have the power you don't, we are better.Gotta agree with that.
Childish comes to mind.
Right of the bat - Europe isn't a country, there are differences, so if you talk about EUROPE you are talking about somewhat around 27 (twenty seven) different countries,
all with different histories etc.
Saying Europe sucks is as intelligent as to say America sucks - and than pointing out that there is a problem in Mexico and the South of America.
But for the argument sake lets just boil it down to two words to describe why people might want to visit the USA or any country in the EU - Two words.
USA: Bombastic
Europe: Culture
That's it - simple shit.

USA had to save some European tail, because another European country (only 1) got out of hand=Europe forever in American's debt.
You listen to our music (culture), wear our clothes (culture) and discuss our politics (part of culture)=preoccupation of America=pwned

;DIts true...some dumbass Americans think that in Canada we live in Igloos. That's how distant and stupid some of them especially down south are. When I go to Florida and they ask me how the weather is in Toronto, I have to tell them we get the same weather as Boston, NY and Providence because if I don't, they give me a retard expression. Brutal shit.
isn't it like 50 countries... including those that extend into asia

Haha, I love that. A line pointing to a small red island and it reads: COMMIES They want to destroy our great democracy with their...errr...cigars. ;D
When a man as wise and intelligent as parker puts the "Oh yeah, we went to world war 2 to kill the scum from invading you" example, it just indicates how stupid americans are in general.
I mean parker is one of the most insigthfull posters here from psychedelic trips to meditation to asses... but even he used the "YEAH but who saved the mothafucken DAY 50 years ago, biaaatch, dats right!" example to "prove" america is the greatest ::)
somethings not right...

Denial is not a river in Egypt. Yeah, we knows our geography up in this mother.
You see Getbig? You see what I mean?What point did I prove?
Thanks Parker for proving my point.
Lol this kind of crap is why I hate american's. you guys pretend like everything about you is uniquely american, when the truth is very little is. Most of what you think is so great, usually has a canadian//european factor that can't be ignored.Learn how to read and comprehend first, Mr the pituitary has nothing to do with GH,
Simple examples Terminator movies great american culture, except the main actor is austrian, and director/producer is canadian. \
Titanic canadian director mostly british cast.
Avatar aussie main actor, canadian director.
I could do this all day. So much Americana, is really just part of global culture, you have very few things that are independently american.
The only truely american thing is Black culture, but again, it's an seperate segment of society that many americans have major issues with.
On top of that you have a habbit of calling things like rocknroll american, while it origins may be with blacks, by the time whites got around to stealing it, brits were doing it too.
Than you talk about inventions technology, and all that, than you love to ignore that Warner Von Brown(Make rocketry/nasa) Einstein, and Enrico Fermi(made nuclear a reality), were all from europe.
Americans are Europeans, the differences are insignificant.The obvious, but this goes back to the good old cliche, of "the west".
even poor as shit americans drive in huge cars. i never understood that
deny what? that america funded the entire war basicly? that german scientists worked together with american scientists?
hey man, glad we agree 8)
The obvious, but this goes back to the good old cliche, of "the west".
The only real difference is that for a time europe was smart enough to stay away from oversized governments. But that's going to shit so your all fucked.
But this is why countries like norway canada, aus, kick ass, were the same thing except we don't got some prick in brussels/washington, fucking with us everytime he has an idea.
Yeah, so what? Just as they said in the Highlander, in the end there can be only one and that one is US. 8)
Lets give Obama another nobel peace prize shall we!??!
;D ;D
Oversized governments are all over Europe and at least where I live, have been since WWII.I mean in terms of 300-400 million people under one roof,
Most differences are blown out of proportion IMO. As soon as people actually meet, they often discover that all cliches are wrong.
To call euro's stuck up about america is a joke. The simple fact that you don't get why the rest of the world hates you is the problems. It's not even hate, it's resentment, as you don't bother to learn geography, your completely ungrateful and have no understanding where the things you have came from, your pop culture/mega corporations are destroying the world, you have no idea where you place in terms of GDP/Poverty/Education/ etc all the important stuff, your beyond ignorant on understanding how population skews EVERYTHING in your favour, and to top it all you group 50+ countries as one place, when nothing could be further from the truth.What are you babblin about? And to whom are you talking to? No none has said "we don't understand why the rest of the world hates" us...your argument is null and void right out the box...
What are you babblin about? And to whom are you talking to? No none has said "we don't understand why the rest of the world hates" us...your argument is null and void right out the box...Lol epic Getbig defense, I'm only kidding, it's just a joke, don't be so serious(even if your right), lol and to top it off some more of your pseudo theories you got from Oprah.
And stop taking shit so damn seriously, Stark just did this to troll a flame war, and I said what I said to fan
the flames...but you keep adding kindling...and letting people know that there is a underlying inferiority complex at work.
Its hillarious to see how upset americans get when you mention just Something that isn't perfect with america.
Thats alot more funny then the worn out america vs europe debate.
Its hillarious to see how upset americans get when you mention just Something that isn't perfect with america.Actually, Americans welcome it. People come here from other countries and tell us what our problems are---we admit it...and then we ask why are they here (if they are living here)...
Thats alot more funny then the worn out america vs europe debate.
America and Americans welcome criticism
Actually, Americans welcome it. People come here from other countries and tell us what our problems are---we admit it...and then we ask why are they here (if they are living here)...Lol for something that isn't serious you sure as hell are typing alot.
It's funny to see a English dude complain about how Americans like everything big, then he gets into his big Ford Expedition or Excursion (google what that behemoth looks like), and talk about going to Texas or some state with Wide, Open, Space.
It's funny how a Iraqi can talk about "back in my country" and "you Americans", yet he gets in a Mercedes Benz S class, that couldn't afford in Iraq.
America and Americans welcome criticism---we have to, it comes with the territory, and it comes with free speech.
But, the paradox, is that we are truly not accepting of truth within, we have become a nation that resembles a orange---semi tough outer, very weak layer, then layers and layers of very, very weak "individual" packets.
why is Canada on the list?American's know it exist. That the extent of there geography, well plus europe, but whether or not it's an island/continent/country/ trendy brand name, is still unclear to most americans.
Nice friendly people and not a shitload of immigrants?
Lol epic Getbig defense, I'm only kidding, it's just a joke, don't be so serious(even if your right), lol and to top it off some more of your pseudo theories you got from Oprah.Oprah does bookclubs, gives away cars---Dr. Phil does the other stuff...
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahIRL, man, Swede people say a lot shit to your face,
well, I cant speak for IRL americans.
but the 5+ years on american forums I would have to Dissagree insanly mucho.
What I think you are seeing, Swede, is that this is a American website, and not in IRL, so people tend to be more tense, more wound up, and people are less "nice".
LOL ;DLOL. So True. ;D
Cant wait for bezerks meltdown.
I wonder how long his post will be..
500 words? 1000? how many times will he mention "eurotrash?" ;D
Lol for something that isn't serious you sure as hell are typing alot.Because that is me...I am long winded, got a lot to say, even when it is not serious....that is my personality....very talkative and willing to shoot the shit on anything from slug slime to the blonde hairs on Brazilian women asses...it's a great personality trait ;D
Anyhow good job on mentioning Iraq your proving that american's know there geography.
Countries, that proove america is the greatest ever.
Iran
Iraq
Sudan
North Korea
Bangladesh
Honduras
Haiti
Mexico
Canada
Panama
Venezula
Zimbabwe.
Might as well be the case :)Well, this not nearly as bad as McCarthyism---where they blacklisted people, and everybody and their damn momma, including martin Luther King, was accused of being a Communist....even though this is a free country to be of whatever political affiliation that one chooses
the overly patriotism is the only thing that bothers me instead of just being honest.

Lol going back to the oprah statement, it wasn't a pseudo fact, it was an error, I forgot to mention watching Oprah, as in you must of watched a lot of oprah growing up because you think like a women. :DI am not the one who is afraid of short people, and I am not the one who 'tasted cock', i amn not the one goes around having meltdowns---you are too emotional, men who are too emotional are the one;s who act like women...And you are the one who brought oprah in on this...had oprah not been mentioned by you, it would never have...

Anyhow, don't over react, this is getbig, I was only kidding, and for the record OCD as fuck, not emotional learn the fucking difference. Oh yeah to go back on topic ONLY IN AMERICA COULD A BLACK WOMEN BECOME RICH AS OPRAH.
Oprah reps the image of a woman who as "made it", you grasped at it, due to it and her being on your mind--typical of the mindless housewives...
something you have a lot in common with---emotional, sucks cock, all you need is some slippers and a ADHD kid and you'd be perfect for Oprah's Church.
Now, please keep to the topic...
Having actually LIVED in both....unlike 90% of the people in this thread.....they both have plusses and minuses.....great spots and shitholes.....good looking women and ugly women......smart people and dumb people......

just admit you're white already.

Nah I realized your black and all was explained. I mistook, your thuglike persona for some angry in your face agressive white guy.
Lol I've seen the whole world I've been to toronto mother fucker.
Nah I realized your black
;D
;D
Still brooding over the Dan Fouts post, huh? ;D
naaaaa. I just laugh when someone says you're black
Lol standard american.
America's the greatest country in the world.
We got democracy and freedom, would you rather live in Iran.
Sure we got loads of poor people but would you rather live in sudan.
In our history we may have been racist as shit, but fuck the nazi's are worst.
We lack public healthcare, but would you rather be like France?
Over all America, may not be perfect, but there can't possibly be anywhere better, no way it's impossible, America's the gratest.

One thing thats definitely better in Europe is the tipping system. Having to tip for everything in America is BS.
In one thread like this I pointed out how America has a shitload of convicts and homeless people. What was the rebuttal? Many of those people like to be in prison or homeless. ::)Yep, have you talked to any convicts or homeless people?
LOL ;D
Cant wait for bezerks meltdown.
I wonder how long his post will be..
500 words? 1000? how many times will he mention "eurotrash?" ;D
Too bad he still feel the need to talk like an ASS
epic starting to write a 1000 word response before going through the thread and finding that ;D
Which of your nuts would you give up to come live in the US? RIght one or left one... or both?
pretty futile topic as it is so broad that everybody can pick and choose examples to make any point they want.When was the first reality show in Europe? I know that the longest running reality show in the US is COPS, then Real World.
For example the cultural differences between Paris and New York are smaller than between Paris and the North of France or between New York and rural Utah.
One interesting observation though is that Americans tend to copy good ideas from Europe while Europeans tend to copy bad ideas from America - which is smarter ? The only really bad European idea America copied is reality shows (but then that could be Europe's revenge for the soap opera...)

kinda hard keeping track of 50 countries lol.That's what i meant...which country or countries had the first reality show...who is RESPONSIBLE for them >:(
thats one thing america does better for sure. reality shows. (dont know if its a good thing though) Everything just comes across awkward. they tried a swedish version of jersey shore and it was HORRIBLE.
well girls 14-18 maby watched it.
kinda hard keeping track of 50 countries lol.Well if you got 300 million applicants versus 9 million, you might get a higher quality product. Add to that, there are about 50 times more people willing to pay for the product and bang america does wicked tv.

Hard to say, I would guess there have been some sorts of reality shows on both sides of the pond since the late 40ies or early 50ies, but what I meant was that the really embarrassingly annoying concepts all come from the same producer in Holland (Endemol). They are the brains behind Big Brother, Human Cannonballs, Deal or No Deal, Extreme Makeover, Fear Factor, Survivor and many many moreThe US Big Brother sucks, it's like 1st grade... or middle school...of course nudity is not allowed and even snuggling is a "big deal', but most of the reality shows are annoying, distracting, and i feel like my brain goes numb after i watch any of it, especially Real Housewives of Atlanta

I have been around the World ten times. I have been traveling excessively for fifteen years for work. Also living in Asia, many countries in Europe, and the Caribbean. Anyone that says that living in America isn't the best doesn't know any better. I just came back from three weeks working in France. They are just as retarded there as in the US. Only they don't wear deodorant! And NYC is the capitol of the World no matter what anybody says.Lol the patented France technique, how about mentioning germany, they got a strong economy, no one uses credit cards, people actually save money, strong industrial sector, more active as whole, plus they can get things done if you get my drift :D

Sure there are faults with germany, but that's not the point, there are 50 flavours of europe and just one of America, sure America may be a solid flavour, but the options in europe alone is what makes it better.

Yep, have you talked to any convicts or homeless people?
I deal with criminals on the daily, and to some going to jail or prison means, three hots and cot, and weights and they don't have to pay for any of it. Same thing for homeless people. Some will commit crimes during very cold spells to be arrested so that they can go to jail and have a hot meal and a bed to lay their head on. Then there are those who prefer to be homeless because they have no obligations, no bills, and no mortgage.
Now as was stated, these are some folks, but there are more of these types than you think.
Thank you Doug. Whenever I see those maps I just laugh in tears ... I have seen them so many times yet they still amuse me.
Of course some people like the "harder" life style. But if there truly is more these kind of people in the US than elsewhere, what does it tell about your system? That people are too afraid to buy a house and much rather sleep under the open sky? No matter what, the stats aren't positive on your part.The answer is far above my pay grade. Due to the fact that there are a myriad of diff reasons and issues. You have the social issue, the judicial system, the economic and business side (building and staffing jails are a big business), and the mental issue. The fact that jails are supposedly "correctional facilities" and that they are not really correcting anything, and many times the people are worse when they come out or have no skills (due to taking classes, etc out---the prisoners using them to be better criminals), you have a convoluted situation. There are literally thousands of people who cannot be rehabilitated...they'd kill you and your kid like they were breathing. Because they don't care, a totally diff mentality.
I've lived UK, Knoxville, Tennessee, Copenhagen, Breda (Netherlands), Tokyo & Thailand.spot on
I've spent probably a year in LA as I've been travelling there every multiple times per year for the past 13 years, sometimes for a month at a time. I've been to New Orleans, Dallas, Nashville, Memphis, Atlanta, Charlotte, San Diego, San Francisco - I think that covers it.
The US is not a single culture in my opinion. Knoxville, New Orleans and LA could be different countries. Drive from UK -> France -> Belgium -> Netherlands and you'll see the same kind of differences you see between US States.
The line 'greatest country in the world' I find odd. For sure, I didn't find the US and greater than say - living in Denmark or Netherlands. I am not sure in which respects it is supposed to be so much better.
The stuff about freedom too, I find odd. I certainly had more freedoms in The Netherlands, although it is true that I couldn't carry a gun. Of course, the flip side of this is that the US police are very heavy-handed. I barely saw any police when I was in Copenhagen. I guess with the prevelance of firearms, the police in the US need to be 'tougher'. I can't imagine what it would take to be a cop in New Orleans or Compton. Still, I do remember quite vividly going to watch the freak show in West Hollywood one Halloween. At about 1am, at one end of the street, a line of police cars formed and started moving down the street with the bullhorns announcing that anyone that didn't clear the streets right then would be arrested. It was very aggressive - as if they wanted to cause trouble and it totally changed the atmosphere from fun to fear.
Of course the US is more free than Iran but so is Spain. Being more free than Iran doesn't exactly make you stand out, does it?
So basically, I see few differences. Perhaps someone from the US side could define 'greatest' and 'free-est' country...
