Please stop thinking Western Europe is culturally superior

Post by JohnStOnge »

If you do you know who you are. You see it all the time. People in the United States compare how the United States handles things to the way Western Europe handles things as though Western Europe is an example we should emulate. It's not. This is a recent example:

http://www.thenewamerican.com/culture/f ... bic-speech" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

And we've seen the repression of free thought and speech many times before in Western Europe. An example is outlawing the NAZI party or even saying anything in favor of it. Yes, there is a history. But when you do stuff like outlaw the NAZI party you kind of defeat the whole point of being opposed to something like the NAZI party. Another example is Bridgette Bardot being convicted of a "hate crime" for writing that Muslims were destroying France.

Western Europe is NOT, in today's context, an example to emulate. Not at all. It's a completely whacked civilization or set of civilizations right now. It is not morally or intellectually superior. It's not economically superior. It is not superior in any way. The people are not "more sophisticated" than we are. They're just even more delusional and "politically correct."
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

People who vote Republican probably do, on average, have shorter penises then people who vote Democrat do on average. That's because Blacks vote overwhelmingly Democrat and they have longer penises, on average, than Whites do.

However: There is an inverse correlation between penis length and IQ. Given a choice between longer penis and higher IQ, I'll take higher IQ.

I like Europe too.

I don't spend any time worrying about what Europe does, but at times some countries there seem determined to give inertia to hard right groups like EDL and Jobbik by severely limiting free speech.

In other news, cross your fingers for me I am bidding on Milan next.

What I'm talking about is the way in which you frequently see arguments about how the US should do something based on the way Europe does things. Gun Control is one example. The Death Penalty is another. The implication, I think, is that Europe is "more advanced" and that we should do things the way they do them.

No. Europe is not "culturally superior" to the United States. It is not more "advanced." It is not something the United States should be looking to as an example to be followed. It is, in terms of free thought, a repressive culture. And it's a delusional culture as well. The LAST thing we should be doing is looking to the Western Europe of today as an example of the way things should be done.

And I know you know what I'm talking about with respect to the way in which the way Western Europe does things is held out as an example of the way WE should do things.

Um... Europe is absolutely culturally superior
But It is NOT more advanced / these two things are completely different

Yes Europe has a few thousand more years of cultural development and is INDEED culturally superior
One simply needs to visit Rome Venice Paris and Vienna to put that one to bed ASAP

But More advanced: No

Secondly
Your "average" American could care less what Europe does or thinks
and frankly doesn't have a clue what goes on outside of TV news
I don;t see the Average American calling out for us to be more like Europe / 44% of Americans don't even believe in Evolution

Liberal dorks call out for Euro - centrism
and that accounts for about 15% of America (maybe)
