Spending two days stranded in European airports and flying with the Spanish airlines makes me an expert on Europe and its affairs. I love Europe, both the old one and the new one, but I think America’s got them by the nuggets. While it is true that Europeans used to be healthier than Americans, the trend is shifting–Europeans waists are gradually growing in diameter as they abandon their dull diet. I know Europeans are notorious for making fun of Americans and their lifestyle. I had to think about few things that America got right while Europe was taking a nap.
1. America has way better, faster, and cheaper Wi-Fi: for an hour of Internet in a European airport you can feed a needy Afghani family for two weeks and have enough change to buy yourself a dirty magazine to celebrate your good deed.
2. European money looks like Monopoly money. Seriously, the Euro bills are wacky, funky colors, tiny, and boring. When the cashier handed me my change back, I was like, “I gave you a nice, clean, crisp dollar bill, and all I get is a ‘Go Directly to Jail!’ note.”
3. Everything in Europe is smaller, and I mean every freaking thing. Their coffee cups are far too small, Euro baguettes are microscopic, and their donuts do not hit the spot. Cars are too environmentally conscious to function. Hello, have you ever tried to buy a Coke in any European Capital? Both Volume and Portion are smaller.
4. By not speaking their native tongue, Europeans assume that you disrespect them or that you are an ignorant bastard. Thus you know deep down the well-meaning people of Europe are on a mission to teach you something new about how awesome Europe really is.
5. American Starbucks in Europe sells more coffee in one day than all European coffee houses combined. McDonalds in Europe sells more meals per day than all restaurants in Europe combined. While America runs on Dunkin, Europe runs on Starbucks.
6. American companies or their subsidiaries own all the major brands of Europe—Lays, Orbit, Coca-Cola, CNN, Time magazine. And even Gold’s Gym is a popular fitness center—the idea that American getting Europeans to slim down is priceless.
7. With the exception of Steven Seagal, no American goes to Europe to be famous. Most famous Europeans are so because they made it to America—I am looking at you Christian Bale, Penelope Cruz, Arnold, and Amy Winehouse! (But maybe this one is famous because she is insane rather than European.) Even the snootiest of Europeans will concede the fact that America dominates pop culture and everyone else is playing catch up.
8. Arab immigrants in America, although facing many unique challenges and struggles, are far happier and far more integrated than their peers in Europe. They also have more education and better jobs than their peers in Europe. America is known for its more flexible class barrier.
9. Europeans do not clean up after themselves in restaurants. Eating at a number of self-service cafes and restaurants in the airport, I was shocked to see people walk away and leave their garbage behind. This actually reminds me of back home, where we as little boys eat and somehow the dishes get washed and mysteriously disappear. To be fair, Americans only do that at movie theater.
10. It is true Europe has a much more sophisticated culture and a richer history than the States, but I would trade all of that at any moment for an iPod. Who cares about what some dead dude said or did not say hundreds of years ago? The future is whatever Steve Jobs and Bill Gates say it will be. Van Gogh, Picasso, Dali did some fine paintings, but if it was not for Google search, few would have seen their masterpieces.
11. Europeans smoke a lot more than Americans do. This is odd because Europeans have always been conscious of adopting healthy practices—at least since the plague. Not to worry, American tobacco companies make all the profits from killing the Europeans. America strives to play fair in their dealings with the world. Thus, American weapons kill Arabs, and also American tobacco companies are killing Europeans.
12. American public restrooms are superior to the European ones, maybe because Americans eat a lot more than the Europeans do–and therefore they spend, on average, a lot more time unloading–has something to do with maintaining clean and neat restrooms. The Europeans bathroom really scares me, and to make things worse I had a guy yell at me in Spain to give him some toilet paper as he was standing in the urinal holding his fun size rocket—no, it wasn’t Senator Larry Craig either.
13. Americans are the world’s most popular tourists according to several sources, namely in Jerusalem and in Oman. They are approachable, fun loving, adventurous, neat, and they tip will. In Europe it’s a mixed bag: Italians are fun, but not so neat; Germans are unapproachable, good tippers they are not; the French are fun loving, but socially awkward, and the Greeks are the messiest of them all.
14. For all the sex and romance that pops to mind when people talk about their vacation in Europe, Europe’s population is aging and shrinking, while Americans engage in baby making sex. According to my ancient grandma, “no babies no sex”
15. Americans eat a lot more dark chocolate than Europe—a much healthier choice than milk infused chocolate. Due to the lack of great American-made milk chocolate, more Americans opt for the dark chocolate, rich in antioxidants and better for the heart tissue. If you are in Europe, it is really hard to resist the seduction of the silky and smooth milk chocolate bars that are as easily obtained as a beer keg in the Iraqi Green Zone.
16. Diversity is wonderful. In America however, we all seem to agree to speak English to both friends and strangers and we do not investigate the other person to see what language they speak—at least not as much they do in Europe. Pretty much every country has its own language and every region has its own dialect. That can be a hassle when you are traveling cross Europe. Do you speak English in France and suffer the consequences? Or do you try your Spanish in Spain only to find out that the cashier’s English is rustier than your Spanish. In America, no need to put your twang on as you are heading to Texas, people will understand you. For the record though, some find it hard to make out what I say most of the time, just like when you are at an authentic Chinese restaurant.
17. Because only Jack Bauer from American show “24” can stop and neutralize the bad guys, Europe cannot even come close in introducing their own version of tough detective saving French lives. Jack is Back! Inspector Jacques Clouseau is so fired!
18. Americans males do not shy away from giving a piece of themselves to a just cause. The cause is stopping the spread of sexual transmitted diseases, and the piece they give is their foreskin.
19. Americans are better drivers, American driving skills are far superior, and Americans have to put up with a lot less traffic than their counterparts in major European cities. Also American can navigate the road while changing songs on their iPod, text massaging, and talking on blue tooth. So much for the European public transportation system helping to lower the congestion. Europeans pay much higher gas taxes, even higher car taxes, a lot more tolls, and there is almost no free parking.
20. Because real men do not sunbathe in Speedos.
21.No, I will not be taking a chance on you ABBA

I especially take issue with number 8. The US tends to take in only rich(-ish) and educated Arabs, whereas Europe takes in anyone and quite a lot of Arab immigrants to Europe are refugees. If you take into account these differences in wealth and education – Europe kicks ass.
I also take issue with number 15. American chocolate is shit (there's no politer way of saying it). I'd take Swiss chocolate over any tripe coming from the US any day.
And number 16, seriously, what part of Europe do you go to? Most Europeans can speak English, they just get pissed off if you don't bother learning their language (or at least taking one of tacky phrase-books with you)
Number 7 – People go where the money is. If there were no Europeans in Hollywood, Hollywood would be lame.
Finally, number 1. Europe has faster and cheaper broadband in general. Who needs Wi-Fi, when you've got 3G broadband?
Posted by Shafiq | June 5, 2009, 4:53 pmDamn right america sucks and so do all the stupid fat patriotic faggots.
Posted by James | December 23, 2010, 4:50 pmIt is absolutely 100% un-true that the US "tends to take in only rich(-ish) and educated Arabs". As a former Immigration Lawyer in New York, I work with plenty of Arab clients (yes, who got to STAY) who were neither of the above and they were able to live decently and comfortably (if not extravagantly) so long as they worked hard and were able to stay in status. Obviously, the last point is a major issue, but do you honestly believe the Arabs immigrants of the banlieus in France are better off than the Arabs immigrants in places like Bay Ridge, Deerborn, and Paterson?
Posted by vbp | June 5, 2009, 5:19 pmCompare the average level of education and income of an immigrant to the US with the averages for various European countries – there will be a huge difference.
The Banlieus immigrants are extreme examples and has more to do with French-specific policy. If you compare Deerborn, Bayridge to the Arab communities in Oxford or Leeds in the UK, or the various parts of Sweden, Spain or Italy, it would be a different story. Europe does have more generous social welfare to get people started so if you want to make it, you can.
Posted by Shafiq | June 6, 2009, 2:38 pmSo because the poor in Europe are better off than the poor in America, and because Arabs comprise a larger percentage of the urban poor in Europe, that means that Arabs live better in Europe than they do in America? That makes no sense at all.
Posted by vbp | June 7, 2009, 11:20 pmNo. Because the average Arab immigrant to Europe can and does climb up the class/social/wealth ladder more than the average Arab immigrant to the US, Arabs live better in Europe.
The Arab communities in places like the UK, Spain and Italy aren't part of the urban poor, they're part of the Middle-class (although they started off life as the urban poor)
Posted by Shafiq | June 8, 2009, 9:41 amI have lived in both continents, and I think Arabs are richer in North America than in Europe.
Posted by JOhn | March 11, 2010, 7:31 amShafiq, the Europeans are racists, if you look at Arabs in Europe, they rarely have friends who are non- Arabs, in America we can befriend pretty much anybody. they love Arabs in their home country, they mistreat them once they shoe up on their shores. America might bomb Arabs living in their home, but once the Arabs arrives here, they are in the system and in many ways taking care of. Thanks
Posted by Hanitizer | March 11, 2010, 2:08 pmThis conversation is quite old and I don't want to get into a pointless argument, but the statement you made about Arabs not having non-Arab friends is a HUGE generalisation. I can't speak for the rest of Europe simply because I've only been to continental Europe for holidays (vacations) but I can speak for the UK.
An Arab is not going to get a funny look if they speak Arabic on a bus or train, you don't have large chunk of society that's completely ignorant of what it is to be Arab and British Arabs in general are better integrated into British culture than other immigrant groups. France is an exception, but that's because of France-specific variables, such as France being the ex-colonial power for much of North Africa and France's insistence on ignoring the background of its citizens.
Posted by Shafiq | March 12, 2010, 5:17 pmI just read the first part of your sentence. Europeans are racist? Again a huge generalisation.
I think you need to experience more of Europe before making such statements
Posted by Shafiq | March 12, 2010, 5:19 pmhaha nice
what about racism? whos more racist? I really think Europeans are. I'm from Texas and say what you will about blue collar red-necks, people are FRIENDLY here.
I agree with the above comment regarding chocolate. Hersheys is gross. Japanese chocolate though is amazing and rivals Swiss.
The hollywood comment – umm no American actors are the best. A handful of Europeans gone missing won't make it lame

Posted by John | December 23, 2010, 4:49 pmI live 10 minutes away from Hersheys. Their chocolate fresh is like heaven.
Posted by Are you kidding? | January 20, 2011, 5:16 pmHersheys chocolate factor that is.
Posted by Are you kidding? | January 20, 2011, 5:16 pmAhah right ! How many black people went to electric chair in texas ?
Posted by Anthony | January 6, 2012, 6:02 amThe only worthwhile chocolate produced in America, that sadly isn't exported to the middle east is:
> Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
Put a European on the road in America and he'll drive or park anywhere, an American on the other hand, needs a 3m on either side to drive in a straight line.
Also, someone should make it clear that Europe is not a country.
Posted by Monica B | June 5, 2009, 9:49 pmWasn't it Mark Steyn who said demography is destiny? Yeah, it was Mark Steyn alright. It's about the only thing I agree with him on. He's a bit of a wit. You folks are better & I agree w/you more. In other words, for romance, forget Europe.

I just watched Michael Moore's newest film about American health care, and I am planning my first trip to Europe this summer. I was searching for reasons America is better than Europe and found your site. Good stuff. I also teach Literature and Philosophy to some of America's best and worst students. I'm pretty sure this site was made for me.
My family came to America with dirt in their pockets and, for the most part, flourished. They/we were not wealthy or educated. The same is true of nearly every Arab family I know, and I know scores of them.

Posted by AMERICA SUCKS | November 23, 2009, 6:44 pmwtf? i am stunned! how could you be so stupid?
1. wtf? who the hell cares about wifi when internet in europe is 5 times better than in america!?!?
2. i honestly dont care about the size of bills. thats not even a half-decent argument.
3. have you ever heard the phrase 'quality not quantity'?
4.that is a straight up lie for the most part. and if i went to america and spoke any european language you would call 911 and run out screaming "TERRORIST!!!!"
5.YOUR POINT IS?
6. ARE YOU MENTALLY CHALLENGED? if you knew how trhe world really works then you wouldnt make such an absurd comment! rich people who own all companies ARE NOT AMERICAN! they are their own country! they are all over the world, and are all originally from europe. we made you america! you are now a demented child. rich people dont walk aroud chanting " i'm so proud to be an american!!!!" they are using you america! you sheeple are buying all their crap and they are raping you from the back.
7. i can predict any american feature film easily. i dont watch your crappy same outline films where the only difference are the names of the caracters. please…. NEXT oh and please, your music is horrible, house and techno for life !
8. i really dont care about some smelly towelheads
9. totally untrue, and anyway, if it actually happens, there are people to clean after us, not some teenagers texting while working or poping their zits all over your fries.
10. um, no, just no. i dont care about ipods, they arent that good anyway, and i HAVE ONE (IPOD TOUCH 3G 32GB)
11. thats true, but we have way less problems than you!
12. thats so not true! where did you go? and yes, we spend less time on the crapper
13. ok… but the fact is, most americans cant even afford to go on vacation due to their mortgage.
14. thats because the average family has 0.9 children, and thats not bad, you have so many kids that having 2 kids in the same classroom with the same name is not rare. plus, as i said (by the way, this is not about sex, its about kids, because europeans have more sex hands down on ratio) quality, not quantity
15.THATS A LIE . WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR FACTS?
16. having more proper european languages is a blssing. remember, english is the bastard child of all european languages (alot of latin, some slavic, some scandanavian)
17. your point is? we dont have crappy tv shows?
18. that is not even close to being an argument!
19. thats outrageous! yes, totally, because driving on a straight path on a highway is much harder than european styled roads. america is horrible at driving. this is amazing. how can you have the balls to even post such an outrageous comment?
20. speedos are good, its just that you people are too uncofortable with your massive obese bodies. 76% obesiesity rate in the USA less than 10% in europe.
Posted by readthisrightnow | December 2, 2009, 6:02 pmAnd you forget that the u.s. is ONE country.
We are the richest country in the world at $14.4 trillion/year.
While i don't really care about why all of you people think that europe or America is "better", there is no denying which country is the richest and most powerful
the u.s. is the country that calls the shots. We are the only world Hyperpower, and we practically(if not secretively) control everything.
Our military is on a whole other level than any other country. We are the ones that send carrier fleets all around the world to protect free trade.
Posted by looka | December 15, 2009, 6:26 amhahaha love americans! they are so naïve! I strongly recommend you to read more about economics or finance… you owe every single dollar of those $14 trillion you are talking about!!
Let's see what your powerful army does when u r going thru ur next crisis!
Posted by NMM | January 19, 2011, 11:32 pmEurope has a legacy of surrender…surrendering to the Nazis…there are parties cursing immigrants and some of these parties are popular…where americans hate neo nazis or extreme right wing members. America rebuilt your countries after ww2…Americans are more tolerant of mentally challenged people as we have more accommodations for them…also handicapped people. Most countries in Europe are somewhat anti-semetic. France has ben known to sell terrorist groups guns and weapons….while America did that in the 80s against the soviets. We fought a war against ur dictators to help your ungrateful people….it could have been a war against japan….and half you countries owed money to begin with. We help your current armies. We have better universities, harvard, columbia, yale, princeton, georgetown, etc….americans are more accepting…we helped your countries when you needed it….germany, britian, france, etc….half of your countries were too cowardly to stand up to hitler….spain, switzerland……russia has more than half of the worlds neo nazis….n america classes are more flexible allowing poor to become successful and everyone has the opportunity to go to college. lastly, Germany wouldve won in ww1 because russia dropped out without america….america opposed the cruel treaty of versailles afterwards which pissed off germany and led to the nazi party….then again we were the reasons ww2 was won as britain the last country was almost sure to surrender….american foreign policy up until ww2 was isolationism which was north america out of europe's buisness…after realizing you all were not responsible to deal with yourselves we changed…the soviet union woulve had no enemies without america….lastly we were nice enough togive your countries back after we took them from hitler…even letting france march in first…europeans are ungrateful and arrogant…they r racist,incepting, and anti-semetic.

18. I know I am I go the extra mile for the stop of STDs and not having a turtle neck on my penis
12. You also forgot that europeans actually they fucking actually pay for public bathrooms seriously I try to avoid FREE public bathrooms why would europeans pay for that.
13. I see more about how in isreal they dislike american tourist (hey thanks for being the first for recognizing you and give you the arms to protect your fucking holy land were every one around you wants you dead and you decided choose the one part of the middle east with no oil the least you could do for us is deal with the rich american tourist)
also europeans if your all suposed to be so easy going how come you get all mad about this I see you all say america sucks i think "who fucking cares I like it"

Whether a person prefers history ( more interesting in Europe) to modern creativity ( more in USA)
is a personal choice, not an absolute, and just as you love your country, most Americans love theirs.

The only people responsible for hate is those doing the hating.Many people are just jealous of Americans, thus the hatred.
Posted by daphne | January 17, 2010, 11:22 pmWe never let a fascist party rule our country and help start a war that America had to liberate. America hasnt been around nearly as long as Italy. America has been around for a couple of centuries. Europeans are more racist…every country in Europe has a political party that is openly racist who has some popularity. You can often sieg heil in Italy and Britain…America you would be killed. There are about a couple hundred neo nazis in America and the KKK while Europe, especially Russia has thousands who beat foreigners. America has rebuilt most of your countries after ww2, a war YOU started if you are germany, italy, and some fault to britain and france for the treaty of versailles.

Posted by FUCK AMERICA | March 7, 2010, 9:38 pmtoo many reasons to count actually, but to name a few, for your asshole's sake:
richest
most powerful military
most technologically advanced
most charitable per capita
kick ass in the olympics
play real football, not gay soccer
our culture is exported to all over the world, cause we're the best
Posted by aces | October 8, 2010, 4:15 pmthink you will find nearly every country in europe donates more per capita than america.
military? how is people running about countries killing people with guns somthing to be "proud" off.
most technologically advanced? try japan
kick ass at olympics? haha, you just sit on your fat ass and watch it while all the other countries win.
gay soccer? at least europe accepts gay people. 100 times more gay bashings in america than europe.
"culture". you have no culture, statue of lib was given to america by france, the hamburger was invented in germany, all your cities are named after places in the uk. if you had culture you wouldnt have places like las vegas, cheaply built landmarks of places in europe.

Posted by AMERICA IS GAY | December 23, 2010, 5:02 pmBut have you noticed that Europeans are much slimmer? And how are you the number 1 country? You think you're better than anyone else! Sad fat cunt.
Posted by PeteBurns | April 27, 2011, 4:55 amOoooh America.. The worlds defenition of irony.
Everything about your country is flawed; your culture, your values/morals in particular your unbelievable disregard for anything that isn't westernised. To any american reading this, here is some food for thought:
1) You are Europes bastard child. Who do you think colonised the US? Considering your a complete melting pot of peoples, creeds and heritages you continue to be amongst the most culturally ignorant people on the planet.
2) You might think your the "richest and most powerful country on earth", but really, think about it. America is the absolute epitome of consumerism; true a lot of the worlds largest companies are american, but that is merely a result of your inability to produce anything which is culturally relevant to the modern world. You simply churn out the same old shit (this goes for everything; media, food, clothing) that requires no thought and is purely a means of instant gratification.. But I suppose thats bound to be the case with a country with less than 300 years of history. Face it, your just cavemen with technology and a big stick.
3) You seriously throw your weight around. Not to sound cliched, but the war in iraq WAS for oil, there is no debate in that whatsoever. N Korea, Iran, Russia, China, Japan, almost the entirety of Europe and even some latin-american countries have "weapons of mass destruction" and yet we don't see you marching in to "free" any of these places, do we? America seems to have assumed it has the right to police the world, and when "policing" becomes mere invasion without justification, the rest of the world doesn't bat an eye, because America only wants whats best for everyone, right?
4) You all seem to love the word "freedom", and why wouldn't you? Freedom is great, however, therein lies the utter hypocrisy of the USA, you get to enjoy "freedom" at the worlds expense. Fucking wake up, your country has you spouting bullshit you don't even understand, you are literally controlled by your media. Brainwashing and propaganda, thats all it is, its just been incorporated into every aspect of your lives so you have no choice but to accept it for exactly what it is without even realising it.
5) God bless America? No fucking thank-you. America has twisted and manipulated christianity into nothing more than a means of social control. How convenient.
To put the above into context; I am 18 years old, living in the UK and studying sociology. Before I get comments on how fucked up my own country is; save your fingers, I'm fully aware of the UK's social and cultural issues. I'm also aware of how this might sound hypocritical, but if you want to talk about the global communities opinion regarding cultural ignorance and general social issues, I'm sure 90% of people would start with the USA.
Fuck you, america.
Posted by Ben Collier | March 4, 2010, 10:56 pmIn response to the hysterical Ben Collier…
1. Europes Bastard Child? yes, yes we are. My family both came from Hungary and Ireland and it makes me proud to have both's blood running through my veins. Culturally ignorant? Perhaps, to an extent. I think the same can be said about much of Europe though. As someone said, Europe isn't a country.
2. Yes, we are the richest, most powerful nation on the planet. Is America the epitome of consumerism? Eh, I think Japan holds the torch on that one. We haven't produced anything culturally relevant? Right. How about hip hop, the Philly cheesesteak, the auto assembly line, Windows, the Blues(which all the English musicians grabbed their licks from), the B-52, the 440 Olds, the Shelby Cobra(kicked the shit out of your Ferrari's back in the day), Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, the cheeseburger… yeah, we never produced anything culturally relevant.
3. No, the war in Iraq wasn't for oil. It was for strategic control over a region that hates the west(that includes you crybaby European's). We assumed to police the world because the European's refused to do it themselves. YOU gave us this power when you refused to step up to the Soviets. Ohhh, yeah, you forgot about that, didn't you. Europe for decades, aside from your current wrecked economies, was able to create a nice little government provided utopia of free health care, nearly free college, and a nice cozy welfare system. Why? Because you didn't have to pay to defend yourselves against the Soviet threat. We took care of that for you. Had we left you to defend for yourselves, the whole of Europe would be part of the Soviet Empire. Don't worry, we don't need any thanks for that, Iraq's oil and France's lack of meddling is thanks enough.
4. you get to enjoy "freedom" at the worlds expense…. Oh boo hoo.. you only get to enjoy your freedom thanks to America's involvement in WWI, WWII, and the biggest, the cold war. But see above.
5. "God bless America? No fucking thank-you. America has twisted and manipulated christianity into nothing more than a means of social control. How convenient." I find this rather ironic coming from a limey who's country has been doing precisely that for, ummm, far longer than America has been around.
To put the above into context I realize how fucked up my own country is and I'm sure a studying sociologist will eventually come to realize the error of his ways.

I'm pretty sure Christianity has served that function since long before the United States were established.
Posted by Blywyn | April 30, 2011, 10:05 am1.Europeans live in the past. Britain may have colonised the U.S, but that doesn't mean you still own us. It took many Countries thousands of years to achieve greatness yet America did it in 200 years.
2.I also love how they say Americans are all ignorant, yet they themselves think themselves superior
3. We got a crazy conspiracy theorist someone get a taser
4. I don't watch t.v or play video games and I rarely get online because I prefer to spend my time reading and practicing piano yet I still believe in freedom and America?
5. I'm an atheist.
Europe, have you ever stopped your thoughtless activities to consider that America is not the one being brainwashed, but it is yourselves? You throw all these stereotypes and complaints about America yet whine like the children you are when we do the same to you. I have many friends from Europe, but the more I hear you talk about America's faults, the more I believe you are inferior to us.

1. America has the worst education system out of all of the "super powers".
So shut up and sit dowd And stop talking crap.
Posted by America sucks | March 7, 2010, 10:27 pmwake up. there is one superpower, and the US will be that superpower for a long long time. pulling random comments out of your ass like "worst education system" undermines your point.

bunch of brainwashed sheep.
thank God (and no, it never blessed america, no matter what FOX news says) there are some americans out there who realize what a fucked up country it is, so they escape to a place where people are cultured and are able to think for themselves: EUROPE!!

Posted by ballin | October 7, 2010, 3:35 pmWhat a dumb fucking cunt you are,'' American's can text while their driving'', as if that's something to be proud of, that's one of the reasons that America has such high fatalaties on it's roads. Texting was common in Europe many years before America, butr we have strict laws about proper driving, not only that we have proper cars with manual transmission, unlike your oversized, overweight shitwagons.
Posted by Frank | April 28, 2010, 8:20 pmAmerica is made from MANY other countries. the only people native to america (originally) are native americans (hence the name) so when u go bashing america youre bashing just about every country in the world and if u bash europe u might be bashing your ancestors…. so HAH owo (i am american, but i dont rly like any rude comments about other countries (or continents in this case :/))
Posted by SomeGuyWithNoLife | May 1, 2010, 8:52 pmi prefer europe, it's way better than america, we are more generous than you lot, we always try to help our allies, a could example of this could be the european union. all of us try to help each other and we do not kill people just for petrol. all the americans should admit that de iraq war was a big mistake, and you faggots dragged us all to the bloody war. stupid bush. in my opinion americans act before they think of the consequences.i'm proud to be european and british.
Posted by andres | May 2, 2010, 11:24 amAll of the hateful comments directed at Americans simply exemplifies the jealousy of those who are not American. America is the envy of the world.
America is basically an advanced England. Americans improved upon the English design, addressing many issues such as representative government and taxation, cruel and unusual punishment, legal rights (right to trial by jury of peers, right to confront accuser, etc.) . Americans added a "can do" attitude, a culture of hard work and personal responsibility, ideas of personal freedom and liberty, and a commitment to greatness. Class doesn't matter, it's what you can accomplish. You are guaranteed liberty to pursue happiness, there is no guarantee of the outcome, just a guarantee of liberty. And now America is the coolest nation on the face of the earth, not to mention the most advanced, the most powererful, and the hippest. Again, notice the jealousy and bitterness directed at America in these comments.
The greatest movies, music, products, and culture come from America.
English is the international language of business, the dominant language on the internet, and English culture is the cream which has risen to the top. Don't hate.
By the way, guess where the internet came from – which you are using right now and love so much?
Obama is trying to drive America into the same situation that the European Union is in right now, with his deficit spending and huge debts and economy-killing socialism. You can't continuously spend more than you have… Just ask Greece, or Spain or Portugal. But don't worry, these morons will be voted out starting with the House and Senate this November, the the Presidency in 2012.

Posted by asdfghjkl | December 23, 2010, 5:14 pmYou should thank France and England that you even fucking exist.
The real reason why English is the most spoken language in the world today is because of Britain, because they managed to colonize over half the world, building up such a large empire that would dwarf even your power. You wankers should stop taking credit for everything.
I know that we Europeans have our own flaws, but right now i am talking about YOUR flaws. The flaws that have made you into the most hated Country of today.
And you just can't accept free healthcare, can you? Back here at my place, the healthcare comes with the taxes, which is quite neat. And spending more than you have, get over it. You are the richest country in the world, it would take at least less than a year to spend all the money if you went on a massive shopping spree in, say, the biggest Wal-Mart in the world.
English culture, or USA's culture is "the cream that has risen to the top" you say? Fuck you. Europe's culture is so refined and developed that you filthy cockroach stonefaces than only dream about it.
How can you call the court system the best, when back when Bush was president, he made a giant base in Guantanamo bay, threw some people in there without even allowing them to go to court? That's totally fair game.
You are a moron, no question about it.
Posted by Magnus | September 21, 2011, 12:49 pm1. I don't know about the US, but we don't have to pay for Wi-Fi in public places.
2. European money is bad-ass and doesn't smell, believe you me, IDK about the rest of the US, but the money circuling NYC smells very bad!
3. Everything is indeed smaller, maybe that's why we don't have such a high obesity-rate.
4. This is generally untrue, although we do disrespect ignorant people like you.
5. We don't drink mass-produced coffee when we have a break on the street, we generally like a light beer or a self-produced coffee better.
6. I have never even heard about Orbit or Gold's Gym, but I'm sure you heard about Europe producing the best beers and wine and cheese in the world, not to mention pot.
)
7. We (with that I mean, those people that are not in puberty) generally dislike any artist 'produced' by America nowadays, our local artists are very good, by the way.
8. Generally, we do not dislike immigrants, nor do we dislike Asians or Africans or any other community, but it has to be kept within borders.
9. We do not NEED to get up after we ate and clean up, we stay where we are and have a nice chat with our fellow tablemembers, while the waiters clean up for us and what did you say about Airports, don't you only find those 'restaurants' when you want to take a flight OUT of the country, so that means… (I'll let you figure that one our
10. Oh wait, we've got technology here too, right? Just checking. And wait Europeans have shares in those companies too, right? Just checking
11. Generally, this is true. I am a smoker, my grandfather is dying of lungcancer, but I guess we trade that for being obese.
12. I've been to American toilets and can't really notice the difference, except for the cafés and such, probably because our nightlife is kind off way better and busier.
13. Well, European government doesn't force Europeans to tip waiters, we tip when we feel like tipping, we feel like tipping when you did a good job, this is considered basic in Europe. We have different cultures, that what makes the flower so beautiful.
14. Update: birth-control now exists. Lots of sex, indeed and protected too! We consider things more thorough I guess before we start making babies and treat our wives like machines, neatly relying on the government to pay for the bills our babies will generate.
15. Oh wait, chocolate, wait…. Say that again, chocolate, isn't that a main-export product of Europe, if you don't count the M&Ms and such, because that's not chocolate, that's candy, also where did you get these statistics?
16. You said it first! Diversity is wonderful!
17. You have a few top-series that's right, we have too, but unlike you, we can understand YOUR language, while you'd have to dub our series for the most part, I guess that explaines it, anyway, the only American series I tend to watch are Heroes and Dexter. But that's personal, the rest is just a shitload of sitcoms and I mean, seriously, that kind of humor has died out! At least here in Europe.
18. Haha, the ignorance, you think being circumcised will stop you from transmitting STD's? If you're going to do it, do it right, please.
19. Free parking doesn't exist? Get your facts right, please. Also, I went to NY and at least 6 times a day I saw some car being hit by something or someone, just saying… Anyway, your square pattern of roads isn't very hard to navigate through, which is good in some way, but kind off boring too.
20. A nice, fine beer on the street is better than a brown bag in your hand.
21. Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Paris Hilton, The Pussycat Dolls, Lindsay Lohan, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus,… please stay away!!!
Posted by zosorh | May 30, 2010, 12:58 amto you, zosorh
1. guess what, i've been to almost all the countries in the european union and there is NO free wifi. you only get it free with your tv/internet/cell phone service (SFR, Bougeys Telecom, Orange. etc..)
2. yeah asctually you do smell, especially germany (beer, sauerkraut, more beer), France comes in a close second
3. Have you ever been to Germany? Fat. Asses.
4. Haha its so sad to compare the unbelievable friendliness of americans compared to the bitterness shown to tourists in Europe, let alone europeans being bitches to their own people! a frenchman wouldn't lift a finger to help a fellow frenchman.
5. thats your choice to drink beer over coffee, generally so would I.
6. ah, nice, you're a pot connoisseur. i see where your intelligence comes from. on a more serious note, i've noticed that europeans teenagers smoke pot like there's no tomorrow.
7. thats why you have to set limits on how much american music you're allowed to play on the radio before you're forced to play something european (all you play is techno)
8. Ever been to France?
9. could you clarify your point? i don't understand why europeans have to sit for 3 hours to let their food digest. suck it up.
10. Yeah, technology we create, companies we start and run. not you. us.
11. again, visit the fat-asses in germany. the tides have turned, as it is the americans who are slimming down, and the europeans who are putting on the pounds.
12. that's a little sad that you can't notice the difference, but ok.
13. haha actually laughed at this one. a serious question: is this some twisted american asking the question who's never been to Europe? EVERY RESTAURANT INCLUDES THE TIP IN EUROPE. YOU HAVE NO CHOICE. Thats why your service sucks. come visit america, and see that we tip when/because we want to.
14. damn mexicans making a bad name for the US – http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20060515203…
15. ah right m&ms arent chocolate. thanks for telling me that. just one more thing. come over here and tell us all what that chocolate-flavored brown stuff is that m&ms are made of. thanks!:)
16. no problem here, i will say that both american and europe are plenty diverse. however, america is one country! no other single country is nearly as diverse as america.
17. we have all the top series. the only thing my european friends talk about is the latest "How i met your mother", "sex in the city" and "family guy", oh and "south park".
18. he never said that. where are you getting this? read it again, slowly.
19. yeah being hit by a european who doesnt know his left from his right. and your other point, lets see… ah right! efficiency and safety is the new boring! lets turn the roads system into roller coasters, that way its more exciting! who cares about safety, right?
20. hold on not sure what you're talking about here. #20 from the article/blog post?
21. i agree with hilton, lohan, bieber, cyrus. i am ashamed they call themselves americans.

Always and forever
Posted by sparky4 | August 25, 2010, 2:11 amYou stupid Yank. This is EXACTLY why most people apart from Americans hate America. You're arrogant and plain stupid. 'America owns all the big brands like Lays, Orbit…' What the hell are Lays? No-one cares about Orbit – Trident is a million times more popular. And Coca-Cola would never have made it if you idiots didn't put cocaine in it making your customers addicted to the stuff.
1) Whilst America is just getting used to the fact that the world will sooner or later explode and kill all living things in it, most other countries had realized this fact and have made changes because they HAVE to, not because they want to.
2) Look at how strong Europe is. Russia could have you wiping their asses for them if you even touched Russian soil. Britain has been the main focus of Europe because of its sturdy military. The world's best empire of all time even wanted it. There was no democracy, yet the British fought off the Romans several times after finally being invaded. And Germany – even though it was ruled by Hitler still managed to put up a good fight.
3) The reason people come to America is because of the weather. America is a great COUNTRY. Everyone loves it. It's just you dumb McDonald's eating arrogant arseholes who ruin it by sitting around and polluting it. GO ON CANADA.
4) Eating darker chocolate is only better for you if you don't stuff your face with 50 bars of it every time you drive down to the local Walmart.
5) Americans are better drivers? YOU FOOL. Why do you Americans say things without even knowing anything? Jesus Christ. Just because you're American you can listen to music? You dumb fuck.
6) Everything isn't cheaper, it's around the same price but our currency is higher than yours on about a one pound to one and a half dollars ratio.
7) Oh the shit just keeps coming and coming. I suppose that people only realized that Van Gogh and Picasso existed only when Google was created? So are you calling your parents stupid?
You know most people love America and it's citizens. I know I do. But sometimes you guys just need to go down to a library and read. Seriously. 'Cause if you're this stupid I'm not so sure that America will be 'the best country in the world' any more.
Grow some balls you fucking Americans. I can't even believe Canada is on the same continent as you.
Posted by Damien | August 28, 2010, 5:56 amWowwww, that makes you a huuuuge EXPERT,that you spent a little time on a europian airport! All of these so called "facts" of yours are just so funny that I couldn't stop laughing while reading through it! If you think about it, all these things that you wrote down are so stupid and they don't make a difference at all to european people! Yeah, we don't have 64 oz cups because if we want a coke or any other soda, we enjoy a nice small 8 oz glass of it and we're done. We don't let our asses grow over our heads by pouring it in ourselves all day long. Coffe???? Yeah, those little tiny cups of espresso gives us more energy and aroma than the huge 2$ shitty coffee that day serve over here in the US. So who cares that Starbucks sells more coffee here then in Europe? European people will spend their money to actually enjoy a coffee just as good if not better then starbucks by sitting down in a nice clean caffe with their friends over a great conversation, unlike americans who grab a coffe, a burger or whatever just to fill their guts so they can rush and on their way. Yeah, I love when man wear speedos, unlike over here in the US when you get a redneck tan just because your bathing shorts are almost down on your calves. Ha ha ha….and the funniest of it all "americans eat way more dark chocolate"!!! WHO CARES??? Even if I don't think it's true, maybe they eat more dark chocolate after their cheap greasy burgers, pizzas, half frozen shit. Their is more strokes cause by heart disease and high cholesterol and diabetes here in the US then any other parts of the world you little smartie pie! You are just one of those americans who proved it to the world how uneducated and lame and stupid you are!

And I do believe there is a familiar phrase in the racing community that goes something along the lines of, "If you want to win, get a Fin."
Posted by Tyler | September 10, 2010, 11:36 pmim american and i agree that americans shouldnt get their licenses so easily or at such a young age. yes, i just got my license, and i believed this before i even got my license. however, he's not talking about just young, new drivers here.

Yoir staement about american tobacco companies owning all the cigarette brands is stupid, considering that only 10% of all cigarette brands in europe are owned by american companies, (British-American Tobacco company is excluded in this because it is jointly owned and operated), and these 10% are always the least selling brands, I mean, even Embassy Regals are more popular than the VERY VERY few yank brands. Also, ALL Rolling tobaccos are made in europe or are owned by European companies. 95% of ALL tobacco products sold in europe are made there by european companies. Fact. Your argument has been defeated.

Posted by asdfgh | October 25, 2010, 2:44 pmOk I'm from America. (the US) know I think everyone here needs to realize that the United States doesn't make up the entire Americas. Did all of you forget north, south, and central America. Listen yes there is a reason most hate the US. And I can understand why we have a tendency to be a bit self absorbed. But we feel we have the right. We have been the worlds leader for many years most countries won't do anything with out are say so. If we don't back you or you back us things go bad. But as always things go bad regardless.
And I know Europe is composed of numerous countries. And that is why you all speak different languages. But think on the U.S. point of view we are an English speaking country. We are not formed of several smaller countries and we can't travel to other countries as easily as in Europe. We can't just hop a train and be in France or whatever country you want to use as a reference. And guess what most Brit's don't speak a second language. That is the reason the other countries of Europe speak english. Don't come blaming The US or the Americas for your own mistakes.
The point on are cultural history give us a break we are a frigging young country. There are so many things that can be said. On all the other things I just don't feel like spending a f—ing hour going through it all.
Just get over yourselves and realize the world as a whole sucks balls. And that it would be better off if the human race was gone.
Posted by capslapnut | October 25, 2010, 3:23 pmThe Usa is better and bigger in everything that is mentiond here. The country is diverse and beautiful, and so are the people. It must be remembered, that America police the world. And about America is hated, thats rubbish. English kids love the american tv programs, adults love sex and the city, ER, CSI, need I go on. America is loved for their films, tv, Tom Cruise, Daniel day lewis, should I go on. America is loved for Disney, Vegas, Holywood, and everything that draws the europeans to the USA for their holidays. The USA is loved by most peoples of the world, for a million reasons.
