"I really like America, but I don't think their political system inspires much confidence."

What is it about freedom that so frightens Europeans? It's like a massive case of contintent-wide arrested development, a bunch of children who want the government to be their mommies and daddies and take care of them forever.

Just like the Americans who have been "educated" by gov't schools. Just look at the latest polls wherein a majority of Americans don't see anything wrong with loss of our freedoms and are willing to give up their liberty in the name of security.

Unless we return the education systems to local control, you will be saying the same thing about young Americans. Thet are being "taught" to "feel" rather than think. They can't even do multiplication in their heads or point off a decimal. Ask some youngsters what 10% of anything is w/o using a calculator and see what kind of replies you receive.

What do you expect from a bunch of people who think that Page Three girls, politicians openly having mistresses, open homosexuality, and unlimited abortion are the formula for a free society? So many Europeans have their priorities screwy. They think that being able to see a pair of jugs on the telly is the height of freedom, while all the while, they are handing over their lives to the government.

Personally IMO .. they lack the balls to fight until it is too late

Just take a look into history over the past century .. how many times have we bailed them out ..

And IMO if they don't wake up soon .. we will yet again have to bail their butts out of the mess they made
