I have no problems with most of European culture. I have dual citizenship with Iceland, and I think their way of running their country is a hell of a lot more ethical and efficient than anything we do on this side of the pond. I'd gladly pay as much taxes as you all do in Europe, in exchange for equitable health care and education for all citizens. I think taxes are the key to a great country, as long as those in charge of the taxes are to be trusted (there's the rub).

However, my biggest beef with Europe is its issues with IMMIGRATION. America has its problems with immigration, but they are nothing compared to the social milieu towards immigrants in Europe. Immigration is to Europe as evolution and abortion are to the U.S... don't tell me Europe is a utopia for anyone with skin browner than an Italian's.
