Before we hit port in Greece, the officers on the ship warned us to be careful about the locals. Apparently Greek men like to buy drinks for foreign men and then rape them between bars.

often I hear Europe as the shining example for how things should be. Can someone tell me what is so impressive about Europe?



Sounds like you've got an inferiority complex to deal with.

Not really, I make more money, have a better education and have a higher standard of living than your average European or American person. I'm just fine.

Why are they sophisticated:

They invented philosophy
They invented democracy
They invented golf

Why are they unsophisticated:

They invented communism
They invented soccer
They have really bad teeth

Europeans work to live; Americans live to work.

So it depends on your perspective. If your purpose in life is to enjoy living, the European way is the best.

If your purpose in life is to make as much money as possible and acquire things, the American way is the best.

I prefer the European way, myself, but I am in the minority here, I am sure.

This is working out great in Europe with the 25%+ unemployment rate in Spain or the Greece debt crisis.

If only we could follow their lead - oh wait, we are heading down that path

no apathy is great. If you're happy being miserable, Europe is fantastic

did I also mention that there is no free speech in France and Germany?
