It's already happening, if only these massive, well, huge international conglomerates were lead by benevolent beings rather than money-grabbing misers, the world could already be a much better place.GothmogII said:
However, I think you're correct. It could be blind idealism, but I don't think it would be that hard, as there are several fundamental ideals and laws that pretty much everyone abides by. Simply unite under those, and imagine what humanity could do.

and architecture,

and attitudes.
Of course, this varies from person to person as much as it does from country to country.
Now i don't agree with "Be like Europa", everyone has differences.
But no offence intended, but im damn glad im not american, but im not to keen on the fact im part English either.
And about the "american's need to take pride in the fact there american" some americans i speak to, you want to strangle them with the bullcrap they come out with.
Admittedly though, there are a few good americans who are worth the air they breath.
Finally, the best countries in the world are within the European boundaries, i.e. Sweden; the best country in the world (overall; health care, average lifetime expectancy, freedom of the media etc.) things like that.

Yeah, uh, Worship is the last word I'd use to describe mainstream America's attitude towards Europe now. But maybe I just watch those sorts of news outlets.
I'd say it has more to do with the Obama presidency than what shee-I MEAN people actually think. He's so much of a liberal as well, and too many people just go along with everything he does because he's that handsome black ladykilling sonofagun.

I like them both. I think America should socialise it's medicine, improve it's education and regulate it's financial sector like Europe.
And I think Europe should lower it's minimum wage and permit the underclass to experience a bit of hardship so they'll learn, and actually work for a living, like in America. I also think we should both stop censoring offensive things. Making jokes about minorities is still free speech, no matter how much it may upset people.

America has more people leeching off of them than the United Kingdom. Besides, the countries that depend on us are developing countries and war striken countries where the poor die. They need Aid from Britain otherwise they would die. That or they are people who prefer our ideals over some of the other 1st world countries, like Germany for example.Sarukin said:
