I spent a year in Europe last year (mostly in France, Spain, and the UK), and I really got to know quite a few people while I was there. As an American in Western Europe, there was one thing that really stuck out to me about a lot of Europeans. I’ve never seen such a group of people that had so many self-centered and shallow individuals in my life. Here in the States you might meet someone who is really self-centered every once in awhile, and you just write them off as a jerk. Over in Europe the overwhelming majority of people struck me as being extremely materialistic, very shallow, and very self-centered. Now I enjoyed my time in Europe in experiencing the different cultures, and seeing the sights, and trying the food, etc. Obviously there were exceptions to the rule, and some of the people I met were “more real people” in my opinion. I became friends with a lot of those people. However, I was just amazed by how materialistic and self-centered Western Europeans are in general. When I got back to the States I had conversations with my friends about how much they envied Western Europe, and how “progressive” they are. I kept thinking to myself, “God help the United States if our people become as materialistic and as self-centered as most of the people in Western Europe.” After spending a year in Western Europe I have learned that when it comes to a lot of issues in the United States, I really don’t care what a bunch of self-centered, extremely materialistic Western Europeans think concerning many of the issues in the US.

“Europeans View America As A ‘Force For Evil’ Under Bush.”

So do Americans, Canadians, Chinese, Mexicans, Iraquis, Iranians, South Africans, Bolivians, Australians, Indonesians, Indians, Koreans, Algerians, Icelanders, Phillipinos, Costa Ricans, and the Quahaha People of the lost island of Quamala.

Look at that picture of our president. Really, look at it. What a pathetic lonely man.

Johnboy,
If we “libruls” have worse mental health than Republicans, it’s because Republican stupidity, corruption, greed and hubris drives us frickin’ crazy. It shames us all too. Because unlike Republicans we have a conscience.

#40 Datruth – Those images always suggested to me that Bush was likely saying to himself “I can’t believe they really did it!” Yes, certainly foreknowledge – but perhaps slightly out of the loop. What has always amazed me is that his popularity soared right after the worst crime in our history was committed on HIS watch. It makes no sense. I am asking everyone who ever voted for this criminal to do us and the world a favor – stay home on election day. You have proven you are incapable of making a rational and informed decision. Stop fu(king yourselves and all the rest of us!

I have been to 7 countries in Europe and 3 in Central and South America in the past year and as soon as anyone finds out that I am from the US, they ask me 2 questions: 1. How did we ever elect him TWICE and 2. Am I ashamed for my country.

I tell them I don’t know how we ever elected him either time, and, yes, I am also ashamed, and 3, I DID NOT VOTE FOR THAT ARSEHOLE EVER!

They usually forgave me at that point.

It turns out only 25% of the population want a heavy handed, ethically challenged leader like George W. Aafter seven years of his bleedership, the world is well aware of the results and the heavy losses of which Dr. W. Edwards Deming spoke.

chimpy has bombed us back into caves, the very exact thing he said he was going to level on a defenseless Iraq.

Europe and many other countries are moving ahead while repugs continually lie to the smallest mass on earth.

Everybody except hill’s supports and repugs believe Sen. Obama is going to be great for the US.

Republicans are significantly more likely than Democrats or independents to rate their mental health as excellent,

TP,
From the header:
Last April, President Bush traveled to Europe to attend his final NATO summit. While there, he openly advocated that the alliance incorporate former Soviet republics Ukraine and George as full NATO members in an effort to “lay down a marker” for his “freedom agenda” legacy. However, NATO rebuffed, a “remarkable rejection of American policy in an alliance normally dominated by Washington.”

I hate it when knowledge about nations beyond our borders is so limited!

Actually Joe, I think the right-wingers are in a deep sense of denial right now.
Come November they’ll have to be in the acceptance stage.
Either that,or seek intensive inpatient therapy.
take care

Do you think physiology is a solid science based on nothing but facts?

Physiology?

What does that have to do with PSYCHOLOGY, o trollish one…?

I’m a firm believer that Repukes reporting on their own mental health are nothing more than fooking delusional morons.

George is neither a European state nor a former SSR. Might you have meant Georgia or is George W Bush planning to be the least populated NATO member?

Only in europe????!!!!!!!! The whole World thinks the USA and Israel are forces of evil. They are alone! Let me stress here this view does not include the American people. We are talking about the governments. The USA government also disregard its own people. It mislead them and lie to them all the time.

On June 6, 1944, reacting to my mother’s nervousness about D-Day, I kicked her in the stomach. Two months later I was born. My father was already overseas and did not learn until December, while fighting in the Battle of the Bulge, that his child that was due in August was a boy.
