HereToRockYourWorld said: REDFEATHERS said: Well yes.. I admire you saying that.. I guess going by ratio.. there are alot more americans that are classless and stupid, comparing the size of america,, but again.. there are so many who dont even know whats going on around the world.. and are so closed in and narrowminded I would also say Americans are more forth coming in saying their shit.. even though they are wrong.. alot wont just sit back and listen to what others are saying.. and maybe europeans are more reserved in that way.. as in they arent so bolshy, and will respect the opinions of others.. again.. just another theory  Yeah, "forthcoming" would be a charitable way to put it. I think that's a combination of middle-America isolation allowing people to believe that their opinions are the only opinions because they haven't really heard anybody say different, and also the openess of American culture. One of the things I like about Americans is that open attitude. There's a genuine warmth to it. But sure, on an intellectual level, it's very frustrating to have that combined with ignorance. I also think that many European folks that I've met have a sort of know-it-all arrogance. Damned if you do. . . 
You gotta be talking about Germans, right? Or the French? 
Of course, it's hard to generalize, because I don't think that average Americans on the coasts are, on balance, any less "intelligent" (well-rounded) than Europeans. They still have the hurdle of giant oceans/expensive flights if they want to visit anyplace other than Mexico and Canada, but I think there's more global awareness. I wonder if many Europeans understand how many Americans envy and admire you. We get kinda bummed out being stuck over here sometimes.  Really this isnt a love hate thread.. just an awareness thread.. I could change it to Do you think Americans are more intelligent than Europeans, and I would hope I get the same responses.. I do for a fact know in England, in the lower end of society, there are some complete stupid bums.. and their whole life revolves around the street corner, getting drunk and pregnant I would assume.. most Orgers here are intelligible enough that they can communicate worldwide on a site, with a computer, and so are educated, but there are the less fortunates who just see their life as getting their next hit.. be it drugs or a good thumping.. on either side of the globe.. | |

Of course not.
You're more knowledgeable than we are and far better at making rational decisions (well, if you leave out that whole World War II mess). You also tend to be much more secular in your politics, and a great deal more fair in your laws. so, I guess, my answer is yes.
but we'll still kick your asses and stuff. | |

I don't think they're any more or less intelligent than we are...basing this opinion on living in Europe for 5 years of my life....it actually kind of mirrors the US in that there are many truly enlightened, informed pockets of modernity....coupled with several pockets of ignorance so deep that its amazing they walk upright....the farm communities are as closeminded as our "heartland"...they have a lot of the same issues that we have, especially with their severe distaste for immigration (skinhead revival across Europe as a result)....
....where they beat us into submission is with their social programs and dedication to quality education systems...they aren't completely consumed by the almighty dollar like we are..... He was like a cock who thought the sun had risen to hear him crow.

And the Eurofuckers that I've personally known have been British and Slovak. I've actually had good experiences with Germans (though I think the culture, from what I know, is kind of bizarre, and my Slovak husband always made fun of them hardcore ), and I've only really known one French peson in my entire life. I actually suspect I would enjoy French culture and people a lot. I have a pretty high tolerance for arrogant know-it-alls, you see.  oh noes, prince is gonna soo me!!1! | |

Each nation has it's own culture and mentality that is very different from the other's. The German's culture is bizarre? How so? I know, but we're speaking in broad terms here. Even talking about "Americans" is tough. . . put a native northwest hippie, a hispanic chick from LA, a hipster musician from New York, and a black southern businessman in the same room and see how much they have in common.
It's hard for me to put my finger on the German thing. Whatever is odd to me about German culture reminds me of what I find odd about Russian culture. It's sort of. . . an anti-aesthetic. A little. . . tacky. Kind of overdone, but not in a Rococo sort of way. Traditional clothes and food. . . the music/art. . . even the sound of the language (which I speak a bit, and appreciate). . .hmm. . . I mean, ever seen German porn from the 90s? That just sums it ALL up. oh noes, prince is gonna soo me!!1! | |
