RE: Americans vs Europeans
I'm not sure if many Americans really understand they have a distinct, unique culture that is different to other cultures or its so far away or less important, that it hardly matters as they are the most important one by far. Whereas, in Europe, drive a few hundred k's and its a totally different language, a totally different way of life - europeans have a stronger sense of definition as cultures.
Americans are collectively, and notoriously the worst geographers in the world. Only their culture seems to matter. Every other culture is 2nd or 3rd best - quaint, obscure, old fashioned etc.
There is a whole lot of things people from other cultures generally concur about American people and culture... though we only say it in hushed tones, so the Americans will not nuke us for being "anti-American"!
The only American people you can generally talk to about these things are the ex-pats who have left the place long ago, and they have a long laundry list of complaints, which when you compile them together, sound pretty much the same.

Our grandparents decided they would not be ruled by some old cunt lady or geriatric king and that they wanted the ability to have their own shit. Its as simple as that. Darwinism basically. The sharecroppers stayed in the EU and the aristocratic's renamed the sharecropping part to 'equality/harmony/socialism or whatever acronym keeps the masses paying 50% tax' (sharecropping).
Yes We have attitudes. Why shouldn't we? We make everything and could literally bomb anywhere on the planet in 20 minutes from air, land or sea (at the same time). Deal with it.

This is so typical "USA, USA, USA!" that's it's sad...

How can you say that in Europe we don't have balls? We've been for centuries through times that were hard and painful, especially in eastern Europe.
I wonder how much countries you visited in Europe and how much time you spent there.
Every country in Europe has a unique culture and traditions.
Some things are much better in Europe look at the french or italian recipes and products, for example.
The USA were one of the best countries on earth, and we all dream about seeing those places, but people like you, I dare to say, with your simplicistic attitude are a shame for America.
Her pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola...

Since we dont beat around the bush here in the most evil/dumb country Im just saying ok, why are you so great? What did you contribute to the world. Why is the EU superior? Why should the world be like the EU? If we got invaded do you have the balls to come and save us?
So EU (WTF is an EU anyways? dont you have any identities for christ sake?) Feel free to chime in on USA built software platforms, electricity, internet and PC's/Phones (or your Nokia lol) and tell me using the shit we built with our brass balls and brains why are you so great? How can we in the USA be more like you? How can we raise our taxes even more? How can we lower our GDP and birth rates? How can we make our women treat us even more like dogs? We want to be like you we just dont know how. Everyone wants to be like the EU. Please EU tell us how we can become great like you?

You almost had me speechless with one of the most ignorant posts ever. Almost.

Hmm, I don't know. I guess being the base of civilization and culture isn't enough these days. But hey, You invented electricity. Oh wait, you didn't.
1600 A.C. English scientist, William Gilbert first coined the term "electricity" from the Greek word for amber. Gilbert wrote about the electrification of many substances in his "De magnete, magneticisique corporibus". He also first used the terms electric force, magnetic pole, and electric attraction.
150 years later....
1747 A.C. Benjamin Franklin experiments with static charges in the air and theorized about the existence of an electrical fluid that could be composed of particles. William Watson discharged a Leyden jar through a circuit, that began the comprehension of current and circuit. Henry Cavendish started measuring the conductivity of different materials

Yes, I thought your name sounded familiar and I appreciate your comments on my book but seriously man, please read back your posts and tell us you went over the top.
We all have this sometimes. We write something in anger but later realize it was wrong/ overly exaggerated.
