Well the racism issue is easy to settle. Who elected a President who was a big supporter of the birther movement degrading a black president. With that its safe to assume half of americans are racist plus racist blacks. So thats way more than anywhere in europe

Sure there are racists in Europe. But not in the staggering number we have here in America. I mean... the current president ran on a platform solely based on blatant racism...

Well, I consider Europe to be the greatest continent.

The USA, unfortunately, was founded by relious fundamentalists...and that will always cause huge problems. For example, the USA has never had Atheist politician of any stature.

Although, talking of culture, I must admit, the US's gun culture is way ahead of Europe.

Yeah, where can we find another guy like Stalin, Hitler, or Mao who led regimes that were atheistic or opposed to traditional religions?

Not true. It's pretty clear that DJT is an atheist. Everybody knows he's not a christian, even the evangelicals.

So which euro countries are better than the usa?

You'd have be brain damaged to really believe that the USA is "better" than Most European countries.

For starters, USA is more violent, more racist than ANY European country.

Care to substantiate your point regarding racism? You've merely asserted.

Excuse me, but It is overwhelmingly the Democrat party that champions race- and sex-based "Affirmative Action" policies that discriminate on the basis of race and sex regarding hiring, contracting and admissions policies. Strangely, women in the USA are outperforming men by some measures (more academic degrees, fewer incarcerated, greater life-expectancy), so why are they given an advantage? I think these policies have hurt black Americans especially as they shift the focus from the true pathologies (poor mores, broken or never-formed families, unemployment, bad primary and secondary schools, government disincentives to conceive in-wedlock, work or pay for food, etc.) and merely try to bandage the symptoms by offering lowered admission, hiring or contract-selection standards.

Black people don't need help in achieving success in most sports, the arts or entertainment and they shouldn't need it for succeeding in other aspects of life.

In the US, one problem with so-called "Liberals" is that they refuse to be race-blind. Hence so-called "Affirmative Action" programs that require decisions regarding hiring, contracting and admissions based on race (and sex).

Further, it is often wealthier white liberals subjecting poorer whites to such decisions. Asians complain that they get the shaft regarding school admissions. Women, who by several measures outperform men in the US, are given an upper hand. Why?

And instead of helping minorities, so-called "Affirmative Action" obscures the true pathologies: kids raised without a father, bad schools, less emphasis on education than say in immigrant-Asian families.

How anyone purports to reconcile this with traditional icons of blind justice or the scales of justice is jaw dropping.

People in Europe smell because they never bathe themselves. End of thread.

Wejo, for a site with such an obvious and continual racism problem, you might want to spend as much time publicly condemning/discouraging the racist garbage on your site as you do downplaying the racism problem in the US/on your site.

It might be misinterpreted as you supporting it.

Well said.

I just spent a few weeks in Munich and it was average at best.

Once you drink a few beers and eat a ton of sausage you miss American food pretty quick.

Most European food can't compete with Pf Chang. Heck Olive Garden is better priced and almost as good as most Italian food in Europe. Our Mexican food and variety is inane here.

I've spent months in Belgium and it's super nice but again it isn't ant cooler than Wisconsin or eastern Iowa.

I've ridden my bike all over France and those silly people are more racist about Americans than I can handle. They are like smug Canadians.

Europe is nice but the north west of the USA is a pretty cool place with tons of open space.

Europe Is crazy expensive and has plenty of problems. We have so much more space and variety.

Just sayin the USA is pretty big and nice. I think it's a silly idea the grass is greener over there... it's just different,

"Just sayin the USA is pretty big and nice". Well, I guess that settles it then, the USA wins. .......NOT!

There is no 'Europe' per se. It's so different whereever you go. Hungary, Poland are Euro-Asians influenced. Russia 85% Tartars, 15% Germanic. Italy is 66% brown Meditteraneans and Semitics. Ireland has Black Irish (Mooraccans civilized Ireland back in the day). Western Europeans can't shake it's barbarian genetics. Scandinavia are so subtle and suave as their Northern Asian tribal brothers. Greeks are in name only, blood Turks, but they will never admit it. I always find something so unique and unexpected when I go to Europe for medical conventions.

well, we Americans have a disgusting, filthy legacy wrote:

barbarians were 99% of humans in europe up until the renaissance.

Barbarians are strong, decent, tall, proud, intelligent, and nothing like the perverse, pederastic romans and greeks.

Every civilization breeds a population of soft, fat, weak degenerates, as alien to humans as farm animals are to their wild cousins. When their depravity gets out of control, the humans rise up and destroy them. That is the cycle of history.

Currently the center of depravity is Los Angeles. In Europe it is Paris, probably, or Stockholm.

Brotish dental care is expensive. We don’t have fluoride in the water.

No it isn’t. Until fairly recently there wasn’t even any charges. Now you can see a dentist have your teeth checked, cleaned and fluoride for a little over 20’quid. Try to find that amount of treatment for that cheap in the US or Canada if you don’t have a dental plan. The stereotype about bad British teeth doesn’t exist in reality. Travel more and watch TV less.

-I actual like parts of America in an absolute sense

That being said, you'd have to be blind/dumb to think American culture is comparable in any way to European culture. Most of America is bland, sprawling suburbs where you have to drive to wal mart to pick up a croissant on your way to work.

I agree with you OP.

No. Barbarians are animal-like humans with no social order, no cleanliness, no language, no morals, nor culture. Gang Sex in public with multiple same sex, with elderly, with own children, and other children was commonplace. Barbarians coated Animal, Bird, and Human excrement and urine upon their bodies and pierced their skin, genetalia, lips, and ears with animal bones and sex organs. In recorded history Barbarians only existed in icy areas of Siberia, and Europe. Barbarians famously battled and destroyed aboriginal Rome, Greece, and Persia.

What I find extremely funny is that Americans think Europe is one country or one region with one culture. Europe consist of some 50 countries, and the culture in London differs greatly from the culture in, say, Finland or Serbia or Italy, or Liverpool for that matter.

Also, culture is relative; one culture is not better than the other.

Most Americans don't think that. In fact, most Americans don't think at all.

Going back to the op, the difference can quite succinctly be spelt out:-

The American thinks by driving to the mall so that he have a croissant that he is cultured. The European, on the other hand, is just eating his croissant.

Fixed thus, only true part of your post.
