I guess this thread is just to voice my opinion, Im not looking to offend anyone, start rivalry or flaming.
Im Irish, Ive been all over europe & spent a while in the states too, I currently call Madrid (Spain) home. Ive met people from all over the world & some of them I call friends.
My problem is the attitude of some americans towards Europeans or Europe in general. Granted, USA is a big powerfull continent, It makes allkindsa shit & exports buckets of stuff. America is the superpower. Yaay, America!
What an amazing amount of americans dont seem to realise is that Europe Is full of people too! With cars & roads, we wear pants & we (unfortunately) know who Britney spears is. We have microwave ovens & we dont sleep on the floor with our animals(???), we sleep in beds.
We have widely diverse cultures, customs, languages & histories exclusive to each country.
Im all for patriotism. Patriotism is feeling, expressing, or inspired by love for one's country not hate for mine.
I guess what Im trying to say is we are different but we shouldnt be ridiculed because of our differences. The differences are what make me who I am.
Thanks for your time.
