- I never thought of it this way.. I don't know much about the
- technological differences, BUT
- America has NTSC for video
- Europe has the higher-resolution PAL
- America has 110V power
- Europe has 220/240 Volts (higher by a factor of *2*
- America has Cadilacs and Station Wagons
- Europe has the Volkswagen and similar efficient, small cars
- America has the highest crime rate, and lowest education rate
- in the industrialized world
- Europe, although some of its countries, like Spain, Portugal,
- etc. may be considered "inferior" to the U.S. has a
- better education system, lower crime, happier people
- Americans, I have found, on the whole appear to be ignorant and
- stupid.
- Europeans appear to be a little better
-
- I will be studying a year abroad, most likely in Europe. I
- can't wait to see if my ideas are correct.

- HAHahahahh! I like this.
- I am an American who wishes our people were less ignorant, more
- intelligent, saved more than 4% of their money, if that, for
- retirement, didn't spend such a large portion of their income
- on CRAP, and were more ingenuitive thinkers, like the Thomas
- Edisons, JFK, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
