Better pay, more freedom, less government... Manwhile, in the EU, less of the first two and more of the third. You actually probably meant less of all three, since I do not think EU has more, of less government. Ron Pilot/Wildland Firefighter |

Better pay *ROTFL*, more freedom (patriot act I and II) *ROTFL*, less government (i would like a major presence of my government) Manwhile, in the EU, less of the first two *ROTFL* and more of the third. EU standard of life is at less equal of the USA one. |

After having recently spent 10 days in western Europe, I'll disagree using one example; fuel prices. The cost of both gas and diesel in Germany, France, Luxemburg and Belgium was *3-4 times higher* than the average fuel prices in the US. Unless you can show me that the average EU citizen makes 3-4 times more than the average US citizen, you have a significant negative impact on standard of living. Oktoberfest was *awsome* though........ BUFDRVR "Stay on the bomb run boys, I'm gonna get those bomb doors open if it harelips everyone on Bear Creek" |

Well,for example if you are German with "Germany allergy" sendroms your official German insurance carrier have to rent a beachfront property in sunny Florida for you and pay for your expenses to cure your allergy. But I dont think that my US insurance carrier is going to rent a beachfront property for me in sunny Hawai or anywhere else to cure my "Northeast allergy" in my life time. |

In the EU (unlike the US) you don't have to make a written application in three copies plus pay and administrative fee before getting permission to go to your toilet, for instance. At least that example isn't *that* far from the truth when it comes to the situaiton in the US. |

Tell that to the European, UK, Canadian and Australian friends of mine who immigrated to the U.S. so as to enjoy our MUCH greater freedoms and opportunities. In the EU (unlike the US) you don't have to make a written application in three copies plus pay and administrative fee before getting permission to go to your toilet, for instance. If it's such a piece o' cake to go to the toilet over there, then why do so many Europeans smell like they haven't bathed or brushed their teeth in months? At least that example isn't *that* far from the truth when it comes to the situaiton in the US. Apparently the situation in Europe is a desperate lack of fresh water that requires all the wussified little folk of perfume-creators to walk around with body odors and make love to women with hairy legs and armpits. Ohh babee! yeah... this is probably the clearest example for Europeans of the low standard of living for Americans... you simply cannot live without a car... Huh? You're the first person I've ever heard say that having an automobile or two (or three or four...) equates to a "low standard of living." Thanks for informing me of this revelation, but I still won't be trading in my dependable Chevy for five year's worth of unlimited rides on the state-subsidized public transit system anytime soon. You are forced to sit in your home without being able to go anywhere. Unless you want to make yourself the trouble of bringing your car with you, that is. 1) If you don't understand why Americans opted for "motorcars" and cheap oil instead of European-style public transportation, then you're either incredibly naive and ignorant or just plain stupid. Simply because motorcars are an unnecessary pain to YOU (as parking is difficult even with your dinky and slow little econoboxes that you drive over there not to mention your narrow, one-way streets that appear unpredictably out of nowhere) doesn't mean that we have the same problem here in the states. And as it has already been mentioned, a paltry gallon of "petrol" doesn't cost us $5.56 here in the U.S. either. ****...no wonder you dislike "motorcars" so much! 2) We don't necessarily need an automobile, er' "motorcar" to go anywhere. I've used other modes of transportation to get from point 'A' to point 'B' including taking buses and trains that you Europeans are so fond of using. Granted, there is somewhat of a stigma attached to utilizing public transportation (esp. buses) here in the U.S., but the fact remains that we don't necessarily need a "motorcar" to go places. 3) Almost every day I use my electric bicycle (designed by Lee Iacocca) to zip around town while running errands. The level of workmanship is typically American -- very good quality components and hugely stylish. But guess what Marcus, due to your oppressive and draconian laws, my innovative and practical "ebike" is illegal in Europe and Canada simply because it has a 500 watt motor! 4) Amazingly, in the UK, Europe and Canada any bicycle with more than a 250-watt motor is outlawed because A) your government doesn't want y'all to have too much fun and B) any bicycle powered by more than 250-watts becomes a viable mode of transportation and therefore must be registered and....you guessed it: TAXED. 5) The way I figure it, Marcus, life is too short to let the *******s making all the laws get what they want all the time. Be a rebel, push the envelope, make the traffic cop in the Vauxhall think his "motorcar" has slowed down as you pass him on your stealthy "cheater bike" without even pedalling. Now THAT is the American Way! |
