You can count me as one freeper who actually likes France and spent a lot of time there and their former Americas colony Haiti.

Nearly all of Europe is leftist by our standards but some have more appreciation for their native culture. I like that.

- To begin with, you can count me as one European who likes the US!

At least over here in Europe, I guess most people associate Haiti with violence, lack of a functioning democracy and so on, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there also are a lot of nice things about Haiti that are seldom reported on.

I agree many Europeans often display appreciation for their
native culture. This is especially true when it comes to Southern Europe, but I’d say they have inspired us Northern Europeans to get more in touch with OUR OWN native culture.

I’ve become more European since Sweden entered the EU in 1995, but I’ve also become more Swedish (which is not due to the EUrocrats but thanks to traveling in Europe and being confronted with the many different local and regional cultures of the continent, something which has made me reflect upon what is typically Swedish, what my country is good at and how we can contribute to a better Europe).

Greetings to Tennessee from Sweden!
