Paris struck me as a boring version of NYC. It is also now filthier than NYC (thanks Rudy). Barcelona and London are much nicer cities with better nightlife to boot.

BTW: Has anyone here ever seen the Pompidou Center? I think I built something like that with my tinker toys when I was 5.

Oh yeah! Pompidou Center is an eye sore and a half!!!
What were they thinking??? Last year they did have a surrealist exhibit and there were private collections of Dali, Escher, etc. It was AMAZING!!!! Paintings that will never ever again be seen publically. I went to buy a Salvador Dali book at their bookstore and guess what? They had NO ENGLISH versions of ANY book. I think they did that on purpose.

Europe should all be leveled to the ground and rebuilt from scratch. I am a firm believer that nothing over 100 years old should be left standing. The problem with the Euroweenies is that they live in the past. Their sentimental attachment to the past is obnoxious. Old Europe will continue to slide into the fourteenth century as long as they hang on to their worthless history. Those who came to America looked forward and never looked back. Europeans haven't invented or developed anything worth mentioning throughout most of the nineteenth or twentieth century except starting two world wars and making genocide efficient. And of course we have them to thank for socialism and communism.
