Better place to live -- USA or Europe?

[The Butt]

Obnoxious little shit? Sorta like what you've been all through your stay on these boards, right?

Because your posts about hating those big bad boy bands with guitars, or wiggers that love 8bit music, are obviously the pinnacle of clever, high-brow wit.

 

[~Neurotica]

Europe is better.

Dear The Butt and WCannibal,

Please cease shitting up the forum with your shitty kindergarten feud immediately if not sooner.

Regards,

Satanstoenail.

You sure about that? I'm from a working class family and at age 19 I've been to Africa twice, Australasia once and Asia twice.

I was simply stating that it's not a fair comparison. Europeans may very well travel more, even outside of Europe, but the metrics that were used aren't necessarily proper as they're biased towards Europe as people may have to get a passport just to go 100 miles and are thus considered a "traveler"

 

[Der Morgenstern]

Europe is better.

Fucking insightful.

 

[Dak]

I daresay I have traveled many more miles than the large majority of Europeans, and air travel doesn't count because you don't see shit except clouds.

In Italy you can ski and go to the beach on the same day.

Southern California, same thing.

Anyways...

If I had the means I would leave for Finland. I'm sure there's some bad but I read a lot of good...one of the least politically corrupt countries, Fisu, president is a WOMAN...they don't act like the world's fucking police like the US, Finland seems to kind of deal with their own concerns and a quiet country politically, Vodka,they're not on the news every five seconds with some huge scandal like here....I've heard good and bad of the health care system though...the country is gorgeous, Lakes, Sauna, forests, the Finns seem to have a respect and know the need to take care of the wildlands, very modern, and of course the music kicks ass. Milder weather (except this past summer where it was freaky hot) And I got friends there.

I live in SoCal...
The bad: too many people/cars. the 91, 101, 5, 405, 210, 110, 215, 8, and all the other damn freeways..cos they never anticipated so many fucking cars here(thanks GM for ripping out the old PE streetcar system in LA just so you can sell cars to the masses..least thats what i was told)...it's hot & dry and hot dry Santa Ana winds make ya feel like parchment paper....house prices are INSANE.... and people are often selfish assholes here, they days of neighbors knowing each other are long gone here, oh and Ca has no sense of history, beautiful old building? Knock it down, build some ugly cheap crap in it's place; I could go on & on...
{/end rant}
The good: In N Out Burger. Phillipe's French dip...

IF I had the means, I would be gone. But I don't....

that's a load of shit AUG. It's illegal almost everywhere. You probably sleep with trafficked Moldovan women who were sold to gangs and are kept locked in the brothel.

nope you are wrong, dumbass american

 

[Dak]

@ Aug

Sent is totally American.

 

[Blind Guardian]

Southern California, same thing

My response WAS to someone who brought up California, Rookie Bassist.

I've never been to Europe, and I've met a few Europeans. I've met even more Brits. The British insist that the Isles are infinitely better than ugly-as-fuck-all America or gayer-than-George-Michael-blowing-Elton-John Europe. So, I guess what I'm getting at is: Is Britain better than Europe and America? Is Britain even considered European?

 

[Vilden]

How the fuck can you have met more Brits than Europeans? That doesn't add up.

Edit:
...
I mean what did you think Britain belonged to? Antarctica?

 

[IamstheblackWizards]

I heard in england prostitutes only charge fifteen quid. British men are butt, it's the gingivitis that makes them unattractive.

Europe has some hot men (excluding the british). I'd say better looking than the majority of american men, at least the guys I see around here. Yes, I am being completely shallow and therefor deserve to be of spinstress status for the rest of eternity. But Europe has no Jersey Shore, and I don't think they pop up their collars there, do they?

It's a shame that american "culture" (but really sort of the lack of it...) has spread to europe. Soon they will know the horrors of way too tan, leathery skin, pink shirts with popped up collars, really lame club music and what the "McShits" are.

Oh yeah, and the crazy metal festivals they have all the time in Europe. I wish they'd start doing stuff like that here. Not ozzfest, because that's really lame.

It's called Maryland Deathfest >_>

As someone who has lived in both Europe and USA for long periods of time, I can say that Europe is infinitely better. In fact, it's so much better that I'm getting the fuck out of USA next year if they hire me in Holland (got an interview in a couple of months)


Although, I will miss the great weather of Southern California!

 

[SentinelSlain]

Only completely gay Atlanticist British people try and insinuate that the UK is separate from Europe.

There are cultural divides between the UK and mainland Europe but obviously we're in the continent (you can swim to France ffs).

If anything we're just more arrogant and elitist that the other Europeans.

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

As much as I enjoy travelling to the States I will always prefer the Motherland

Speaking of southern California... how about responding to my fucking PM?

 

[challenge_everything]

Only thing that stops me living in Europe is the weather and lack of decent and uncrowded beaches. Australia is also better for job opportunities and salary, but I'd be willing to forgo that.
