Answer 8

IT depends on what you are talking about. Naturally.

Taking the above into account... i'd say it's better to be European than American for the following reasons:

*Better education

*Different identities encouraged in Europe

*American are rarely given the opportunity to get different perspectives on things. I was shocked at the homogenity of media coverage in the States when I was there. (PBS is only one station that gives Americans a different take on things)

*Look at who is ruling the country on behalf of Americans. Americans have told me they were distressed about this, so what can I say? Americans voted for him twice, so he must represent the majority. This reverts back to the limited media exposure to different world views.

*History for Americans means 200 years. Europe... thousands and thousands of years.

*Different cultures and languages. As the French say... Vive La difference.

*At the end of the day, it's better to be European because of external factors.

We are all people, whether European or American. Neither is inherently better than the other.

Answer 9

Lol, well it depends on different things. I like the fact that Americans have the right to "choose" however when we do, everyone has to argue about our opinion and tell us why we're wrong, or evil, or whatever.

Then of course, theirs the obesity epidemic, and the greediness and such.

But I've never been to Europe, so I don't know how it is over there :) I always wanted to tho.

Answer 10

My guess would be neither.
