There isn't an "anti-European" attitude, because there can't be. There's too many different countries in Europe to have an anti-Europe attitude. Only people who have never been to a different country in their lives think like you. Like I said, take a trip to the real world sometime. You might learn something.

ROTFL. Ice, a majority of this country feels this way. Not only me and my "friends."
No, it's just you and your friends. I know some prefectly intelligent Americans, too bad they're too few and apart.

Quote:
Recent polls suggest that Americans would be against us going in and cleaning up the messes made by Europe in the future.
And you've been doing this when? No ones asked for anything apart from WWII and even then the US only woke up when it was attacked, but other than thet the US troops just pop up anywhere the US government thinks they could benefit from it.

Quote:
The west is divided now as never before. Where we will continue getting stronger, Europe will grow weaker with it's leaders France and Germany in danger of economic collapse. The social welfare system is bankrupting those countries and with an aging population it will only get worse.
Ooh, that sounds like a good plan. Is it yours?

Quote:
I read that by 2020 the majority of the population in France will be Muslims.
And I read that by 2020 most Americans are too fat to walk. You shouldn't believe everything you read. First, how many people are there in France? Second, how many muslims are there in France? You do the math.


Quote:
How about France and Germany refusing to give any money for the Iraq reconstruction, yet they wanted Iraqi reconstruction contracts and are fond voicing their concern over the "welfare" of the Iraqi people.
Why should Germany and France pay for something the US broke? The US act like a school bully. They go in and bother anyone they like and let others take care of it afterwards.

Quote:
The EU can't even get their own countries to follow EU rules. That includes the Big 2: France and Germany.
The US can't get anyone to follow their rules and they don't follow anyones rules. Do you know how much the US owns to the UN?

Quote:
Europe's defense is courtesy of the US taxpayers.
Are you kidding me?

Quote:
Europe is responsible for starting the biggest wars in history, but that is another topic all together.
You're mixing up Europe and Germany. There's more to Europe than Germany and Franc.

Quote:
If Bush is re-elected, the American military stationed in Europe and South Korea are predicted to be pulled out and finally brought home. That should make most of you happy at least. You will finally be able to function on your own.
It would make me happy, if it were true, but Bush won't do it. He's just saying it to get elected.

Quote:
I can't say anything about Finland. Finland was the only country to pay us back for the money we gave Europe to rebuild after the war. Other countries did not pay the money back and the debts were forgiven.
Yep, shows how corrupt and immoral our government is.

and this would be bad because...? oh i forgot, muslims are evil and are trying to take over the world besides, like ice said, look at the population numbers of france as a whole, and then look at the muslim population there. do you really think thats possible? even if they were at it like rabbits, they'd still have a long way to go...

why is it when people make a joke about bush, they are regarded anti-american by you?

to be able to continue getting stronger, you first have to get stronger at all and about the economic collapse...that will look just like the american system is looking now.

why should we pay for the mess the american troops have created?

thanks for the laugh. do you really think anybody in germany still wants the american troops to be stationed there? and it's not like you are defending us anyway...

first of all i have to say that i agree with almost everything that Ice and Choclady said. but to some points i have to add things myself....

oh how sad, you're in the minority. see, about 40% of the people here are from the USA, find one other country with that many members here! you won't find one!!

Quote:

oh yeah, we produced so many messes that you had to clean up. WW2 and..... and.... ehm, i'm sure there are so many other examples, they just don't come to my mind right now....

Quote:

now THAT was really funny! in the last years the economy in Germany and France wasn't perfect, but still a lot better than in the USA! actually besides the weapons industry you're economy isn't working too good, is it?

Quote:

come on, the one that destroys should also be the one who reconstructs, don't you think? if you're only able to destroy and not able to help with reconstruction afterwards, i don't think you should be proud about it. by the way, there's more money from european countries than from the US for the reconstruction! so think of another argument for the next time.

Quote:
The EU can't even get their own countries to follow EU rules.
haven't heard about big problems so far. only a few minor conflicts. the dimensions of USA not following UN rules are something totally different for example... and only as a side note: a whole lot of the laws in the USA exist only on papers and there wasn't even an attempt to make them work.

Quote:

now this is just stupid. if you continue with things like that i may change my mind about "americans not being stupid", especially because you call yourself one of the more intelligent ones...

Quote:

even more stupid than the quote above! function on our own, hmmmm, something that works in my country for example since 156 years....

I have no problem with you bashing our number one thief here, but at least do it right. These billions were not his, they represent the value of the contracts french oil companies (mainly Total) had in Iraq before the war. These contracts are now lost because they were signed by Saddam's administration. France being on the peace side was also, if not totally, for that reason, just like the US position on the opposite side was also for oil.
Now that the tensions are loosening, the US bought back France's support in order to get the UN in Iraq to continue the US job by allowing Total an equivalent contract in Saoudi Arabia. That's how things work, sadly.
The real French corruption regarding Iraq is mainly on weapons, and the main corrupted French guy on this matter is Charles Pasqua, former minister of internal affairs and well known crook, that used to be a loyal lieutenant for Chirac but betrayed him 8 years ago.
If you want to look at Chirac's record as a crook, look at his years as Mayor of Paris, when he had subscribed fantom voters and corrupted the social housing system. Justice fell on his back shortly after he became President, but he can't be trialed while in this seat (following a law his administration put through, funny coincidence). He kept his seat in the 2002 election only because it was Le Pen against him in the second round.
Otherwise he'd be in jail or close to it by now, where a large majority of French wish to see him.

About France being a muslim country by 2020... There are 60 million people in France and the number of muslims is very hard to know precisely, but is estimated around 5 million.
The younger generation issued from muslim imigration in France is now the fourth generation. I went to school with the third generation and I can tell you that it's a more then moderated Islam, if Islam at all, that they will pass on to the fourth.
In 2020, practically, France will be mainly atheist or agnostic.

I think Americans are stupid. So do my friends. I don't look for friends who think Americans are stupid, it just turns out that way. We think Americans are stupid because we have been there and met many.
So?

Do Americans think Europeans are stupid because they have been there and met many? Or is it a 'since you called me a name I called you a bigger name' kind of thing? I wonder.
And in the end this matters because?

That reminds me. I was about to go in to the Sistine Chapel to see Michelangelo's painting on the ceiling. It was very busy and there was an American man a few people in front of me. A few people behind me there was an American woman. All of a sudden the woman shouts out:

"Don't go in without me honey. I want us to share this experience together."

I wanted to kick her.
And when I went on vacation last year a chunky English family grabbed/touched all of the donuts and rolls with their dirty hands instead of using the tongs provided. Another couple was totally rude to an employee who didn't know what a "loo" was?

What does this prove? There are rude people from all parts of the world.

Oh yes, the great KRB has lived in the USA, so therefore he is an expert about the people here. Of course the fact that you hated us before you even stepped foot on American soil didn't influence you in any way. Oh wait, KRB will come back at me now asking me how I know that he had preconceived notions about the American people. My response is simple. I am an expert on you just like you are on the American way of life.

Americans don't worry. KRB is an equal opportunity hater. He has been known to go on about the French, Germans, almost anyone who is not as perfect as himself. So don't you fear, his dislike may run deepest for us, but we are not alone!

Just after I complimented you, Ice, for the fact that you don't stereotype you resort to this. Have you ever even been here or are you basing this on people from the internet?

Quote:
you're economy isn't working too good, is it?
Jobs are down. Home sales are up along with car sales etc. We will come back like we always do, heck like the rest of the world does. There are highs and lows in economies everywhere.



Quote:
about the economic collapse...that will look just like the american system is looking now.
Don't believe everything you read or see on television. It isn't as bad as the media likes to make it out to be.

Quote:
see, about 40% of the people here are from the USA, find one other country with that many members here! you won't find one!!
England. Damn English are everywhere around here. :P

Quote:

I find this comment amusing because I was just watching a show where a European was commenting on why the European Union is not working out as well as they had hoped. His reason was the exact one you listed for the US above. They work things out on paper but there is no follow through amongst the various countries. Seems we are not the only ones who suffer from this.

Nicely stated, Mouse. It's easy to sit, point fingers and call each other ignorant. Maybe we all need to learn some tolerance of cultures and ways of life different than our own. (of course in that perfect world)
