Slowtrain Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 That chart is actually much more knowledgeable about Europe than an average American. Yeah, totally. This chart is much more knowledgeable about Europe than most Americans are about their own country. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

theslug Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 Americans are pretty bad but are all euros some sort of geographysicists? There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached.

Gromnir Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 Americans are pretty bad but are all euros some sort of geographysicists? 'course not... though am not certain what a geographysicist does. many states in the U.S. boast larger populations and economies than does some euro nations, but ask a euro 'bout illinois or even california and you gets some pretty wild misconceptions. am recalling that as a child we took numerous trips from western north/south dakota to pennsylvania as we had family living in chicago and pittsburgh. same distance traveled in europe could result in us passing through ten or more different nations. ask a typical euro to give their insights regarding individual states in the USA... or even ask 'em 'bout the multitude o' central and south american nations. be prepared for some blank stares and wacky answers. we brief taught in europe... started off our academic journey with a misconception that euros were better educated than their American counterparts. it is possibly (maybe) true that the average taxi cab driver, or manual laborer in barcelona or amsterdam is possessing superior knowledge to those similarly employed in cleveland or detroit, but our experience revealed that the typical euro university student is no better educated than those in the United States.

Calax Posted April 30, 2010 Posted April 30, 2010 I'd guess that pop gun is designed primairly to fend off fighting vehicles, possibly tanks. The interesting thing about the french surrender in WWII was that the Nazi's had the EXACT rail car in the EXACT spot that the Germans were forced to surrender in at the end of WWI.

213374U Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 (edited) ps when did spanish women become "hot"?Was wondering that myself. Czech Rep/Ukraine is where it's at. From a geographysicist's standpoint Africa is much worse than S. America, btw, and they have less countries with competitive soccer football teams. What kind of rifle is that thing? There's no way we will see someone carrying such a thing, here in Europe...Lol, that is a Euro anti-tank gun.

US energy policies is myopic to the point o' insanity and we ain't too happy with the manner in which the US has chosen to aid various 3rd world nations... 'cause no matter how much money you dump into a 3rd world resource economy, there ain't no way for such nations to become a capital producer capable of eventually paying off debt. etc. nevertheless, we had the opportunity to spend a couple years in europe and we discovered that things ain't exactly better on the other side o' the pond. as this board should make very obvious, Americans do not have a monopoly on stupidity.

Monte Carlo Posted May 1, 2010 Posted May 1, 2010 Another irony of American / Euro awareness is the dispora experience. One generation after leaving the mother country, America does such an excellent job of integrating people that their view of their home country warps completely. Irish-Americans are an unintentionally amusing example. I remember a visit to Boston whereby folks about as Irish as I am were blindingly rude to me due to my accent.
