i can see why people hate the US, its justified in alot of cases..but i never understood europeans hating the US and americans so much though, they really aren't victims of anything the US has done, they pretty much have only benefited from the US' existence, financially and otherwise,pretty significantly. i don't think europeans should grovel at our feet or anything, but at least not hate and insult so much, specifically american people.  oh well, im sure this will change if/when a non-western country becomes superpower.

[Ursus]

Yea its only a recent trend started by british media about anti war shit

Traditionally yanks were seen as quirky. I have many relative in the USA

My granny Goudy never wanted to go when she was 14, she stayed and looked after the kids after her mother died.

Some of her sisters etc went though and brothers went. Come to visti now and again. Many served in US army etc

We sneer at the US because we made you what you are, without us there wouldn't have been a U.S

If Goudy had been alive in the 1940's he could have single-handedly walked all the way to Germany himself crushing the German army all the way to Berlin! 

Cool post Goud!

Talking about this to an educated friend in the gym. I love america hope to go there one day.

Sister drove from San Diego to Nevada last year listening to Johnny Cash all the way lol...said was so cool.

also its pretentious europeans who think they are refined and sneer at the brashness/confidence/quirkyness/happiness of the yanks

Sorry, but the US is a HUGE mess now; anyone with half a brain can realise this or should realise this. We are militarily overstretched, overtaxed, overspent, etc. and now we have $700,000,000,000 bailouts for rich fucks who suck Bernanke's cock. Awesome stuff. Yeah, there are problems in Europe but at least the European Central Bank tries to do a halfway decent job; look at the fed, an umitigated disaster.

Maybe, but that's not what this thread is about. Regarding the current financial situation, let's see in one or two years who will look better, my guess is that there won't be too much of a difference between US and Europe.

That's why you likely won't see me on either of THOSE continents. There is a whole corner of the world with lots of economic opportunities. 

Still, there are some fundamental differences. No European country (European Union) has nearly a 1000 military bases in over 130 countries which costs it $1.3 trillion a year, for maintenance alone. Sie liegen Welten auseinander und daher kann man nur ganz schlecht einen direkten Vergleich ziehen.
