How are Europeans different from Americans?

They're not far behind.

The United States is only 18th at 33% obesity, behind a lot of pacific island and Arab countries. But the Europeans are pretty fat too at around 25% for most of them.

As for the languages, if they go 100 kilometers in any direction they're in a foreign country with a different language, of course they speak a bunch. All Americans need to know is Spanish and occasionally French.

The Europeans?

Oh the ignorance on display here...

Do you want to compare the obesity statistics for the UK and Moldova? You will get totally different results.

100 km to be in a foreign country?

hahahaha

Seriously... But it's been clear for a long time that you think you know what you're talking about when in fact you are an ignorant.

Where I'm from, you're 3km from France, 80km from Italy and about 100km from a German speaking area, so Bad Wiggins isn't wrong in that respect

Give me a few minutes to come up with some ideas that I can use to play the stereotype game. I try to use stereotypes that imply one group is better than another.I know the rules, no facts allowed just subjective opinion.

I know Europeans speak more languages and seem more cultured and worldly. They are also generally not as fat, poorly dressed and as obsessed with guns as Americans. Other than those things, what are some of the key differences between Europeans and Americans?

The main difference between America and Europe is that Europe is not in Israel’s back pocket.

Europeans lack self-esteem, are much more apt to view themselves as the property of the state, and are much more prone to envy. This is a place where full-blown communism and fascism have taken hold in various places repeatedly. It's basically a whole continent full of leftists. Most Europeans are not happy. And if you are dumb enough to cite some "study" designed by a liberal sociologist that purports to demonstrate statistically that people in communist countries are the happiest on Earth, you would fit in great over there.

You've never been to Europe, have you?

Yes he is.

Try going to Iceland. Or Eastern Ukraine. Or Southern Italy. Or Central Spain.

Sure, you can even be in the middle of a three-way border but what the idiot wrote was that you go 100km in any direction and you are in another country.

Oh and... I am leaving out Russia...

Pointing out bad reasoning is valuable.

The Jew hatred in Europe is indeed scary. You should have thought they would have learned from their mistakes, but no.

In the 7 European countries where I have lived only in one were Jewish people ever mentioned and even then not in a derogatory way - and that was Poland.

Jew hatred in Europe?

Shut up, idiot.

Just assuming that he was slightly exaggerating, Europe is still far more linguistically diverse than the US is.

And the most densely popluated part of the continent is the Benelux/eastern France/ western Germany area. Ver multilingual and several international borders that are very close.

I would also like to make the point that, to most Europeans, being "liberal" would mean you are right wing.

Excellent post, thank you.

But the last sentence? I am not sure about the rest of Europe but in my country it's the opposite.
