The *real* difference between America and Europe
 

There is one big difference...Europe is a socialistic heaven with greedy governments who just can't tax people enough. Fuck them!

Plus they forgot .....America has eggball and Europe doesnt ! :Oh crap

:D
We have a lot of formula one tracks :D

We do, in Holland.. but it sucks ;)

Well there you have it .....more things in common than I thought ! :1orglaugh

Most white Americans are Europeans by descent anyway.

Well that's not a BIG difference anymore lol.

it's Handegg and we have it too. people just don't care much. same with Baseball. maybe we just don't like sports that seem to be made for as much commercial breaks as possible

i am slow as fuck today

Another difference is Europe is a continent and the United States a country.
How you can talk about "America's" writers, natural wonders, musicians, etc and not talk about the rest of the continent is ridiculous.

But I agree, feeling superior to others just because you were born somewhere makes you an idiot.

Give me a break. Angola or Switzerland? Haiti or Canada? The world is not fair.

LOL
great!!

And yet Europeans are not fleeing to America nearly as much as they were 100-200 years ago. Hmmmmm.

I still don't get it...

i wouldn't worry about it, it appears several others in this thread did not get it either. :thumbsup

We have the Magic Castle! Take that Damian

What continent would that be?

When you are used to a system, you don't see the problems as when looking from outside. Luckily I'm not living in one of those countries who is taxing 50%+ of the income and everything is overpriced, too.

i was just going to say something like "what do you complain about?" :winkwink:

your country has some of the lowest tax rates all over Europe :upsidedow

don't get me wrong, F1 is not bad I have watched a few races. and I hate for my inner hillbilly to bust out but NASCAR rocks!


spaz

United States of America = 1 Country
The Americas = 1 Continent (several countries)

The guy is comparing Europe (continent) to the USA (country). Not the same.

So that gives you the right to make you think you're better? You, yourself, who may have done shit to get your country where it is?

cool story bro

Yes, for now...but there is already some pressure from other countries to change that. Thats some fucked up logic, instead them lowering the tax rate, they want us to increase it. :upsidedow

hehehe, funny thing!

Nice one :thumbsup

Actually it seems there is some ambiguity. I've always held that "America" is the continent comprising North, South and Central America, because that's how I was taught. Now it seems some count North and South America as two different continents. Also the image describes "United States of America" and "Europe" but then uses the flag of the European Union which is only some of the countries of Europe.

The flag used in the image was for the EU which has a total population that I thought was close to the US but it's 501,259,840. EU = western European countries not the entire continent.

Nicely done ;)

Maybe it's a Canadian thing, but we were always taught there were seven continents, including North America and South America.

Ok, learn something new every day:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent

"The seven-continent model is usually taught in China and most English-speaking countries. The six-continent combined-Eurasia model is preferred by the geographic community, Russia, the former states of the USSR, and Japan. The six-continent combined-America model is taught in Latin America, and most parts of Europe including Germany[citation needed], Greece[citation needed], Italy[citation needed], Portugal and Spain. This model may be taught to include only the five inhabited continents (excluding Antarctica) — as depicted in the Olympic logo.[23]"

Didn't you notice about two years ago Europe became a country? It used to be people would
tell you they were "from France" or "going home to Germany". Then you had the whole EU thing,
single currency, etc. and whatever propaganda that now has people saying they are "from
Europe" and "going home to Europe".

Very similar, it seems, to the original idea of the US constitution - that it was a framework for
the 50 separate states to cooperate. As certain people used the federal government - the federation as a means of forcing things on all 50 states, the federation became the
strongest government and started acting as a single state. I see the same thing happening
in the EU. It's sold as a way for separate states to cooperate, but as the EU makes more
and more mandates each individual state will slowly lose it's identity.

Europe has better soccer teams :)

and beers

Stop calling it soccer, its football.

I lold, thanks

I know. But they do not understand the difference.
