30 Things Europeans Are Just Not Ready To Hear, According To Americans

Maybe if we start to tax the rich??????

Good luck. With the forced births and the upcoming banning of birth control, we're going to have to start inhabiting Mars.

Just women? Pretty sure men make children too....

I think you read the post wrong, OP is saying this is an issue, not a HOPE. it will be devastating to most countries.

Only for women? Stupid me, I thought it a woman AND A MAN were necessary to make babies. I didn't know humans could reproduce by parthenogenesis. I didn't know women where 100% responsible for the stupid laws that make sexual education, contraceptives and abortion unavailable in so many countries, including the United States. Stupid me!

Boy, did you drink the koolaid or what?

Wrong - not too long ago the intellectuals thought the world could only support 6 million people - I think we now number about 6 billion. We should have as many people as we want (but none by accident). Depending on where you live a little stagnation might not be all bad.

I’d rather have this than a house I leave every morning to do a job that pays for the house.

And much better public transportation.

UK? What work culture?

Yes, but it buys everything.

You're right. Send me your next paycheck (if you have one)

OH MY GOD would it KILL you to just accept one of these? We aren’t saying that europe is horrible, we are merely pointing out factors where eu might have some room for improvement. Yet you comment on every other post, defending eu, when we aren’t even trying to attack or bash it. And if money isn’t everything, how about you give me all the money you have and see if you feel the same

You can call it what you like but jam and jelly are two different things. And preserves yet another. My order of preference is preserves - jam - jelly. Basically it is - "Jelly is made with strained fruit juice. There are no pieces of fruit in jelly. Jam: Jam is made with mashed fruit. Preserves: Preserves have whole fruit or large pieces of fruit."

jam and jelly are two different products

Jelly is clear. Jam has whole pieces of fruit.

Jam and jelly are not the same things.

I have it with cherry jam and smooth peanut butter with milk (can’t have alcohol and don’t drink coffee yet). It’s really good, I love it

My favorite are fig jam and strawberry jam. I've never been a big fan of cherries.

you may not.

may I correct your correction: Yes

Much better than mushy peas on toast

No you may not

B*****t? So tell me about the 23,000 patients that died last year in England's ER waiting rooms after waiting at least 12 hours. Or the 1,500 who died in wee, tiny Scotland. Do you deny that the vast majority of French have private health insurance IN ADDITION TO the government insurance? Or that 53% of UK residents WANT a second insurance policy, but only 8% can afford it? Why is the cancer survival rate in Europe so much lower than in the U.S.?

Neither is “America”

This is a post about Europe though?

Every system (medical, or otherwise) can be improved in some way. Anyone who thinks their system is just perfect and shouldn't change at all is living in a fantasy.

The Russia nation cover 14 time zone....

Europe is larger than the US both in terms of area and population. The EU, however, is about half the size of the contiguous US, but has more than 100 million more people.

As has been pointed out rather nastily to Americans a few times on this thread... Europe is not a country. False equivalency.

Europe isn't a country though.

I went on student exchange (a month each) to France and to Germany in the early '80s. Neighboring countries, completely different...except near their shared border where they're very similar. To this day, I crave German beer, sausage, and Gulaschsuppe; and French cheese, bread, and pastry. I think I gained 5 kilos each trip.

Europe is massive population wise with over a billion people.

I tried pointing this out in a Quora post once, and a few Americans completely lost it! Georgia is as different from California as Portugal is from Bulgaria, according to them... 🤣

Sorry, but I disagree. To say our culture and history is the same across the country is not true at all. I've had the pleasure of traveling to many parts of the US from east to west, north to south. Each place I visited felt distinctly different.

Actually, I think those are good things about the United States. And the country is quite diverse.

You have never been in the neighborhoods in the larger cities ( they are basically little countries in the heart of the usa). The culture, the language, the food... all brought from their homeland and shared here.

Hear me out though, you all pay a lot in taxes, maybe they should use some of that money to cover cleaning and maintaining public restrooms. I have lives in an areas where our tax dollars go to maintaining public restrooms, so they are free to people who may not be able to afford it, and they are very nice. I have also been to Publix restrooms in Europe, where I paid, and they were still disgusting,
