How do Europeans feel about Americans?

british by birth english by the grace of god etc etc... i spend most of my time wandering the world trying not to take life too seriously...

and that most probably accounts for the reason for more than half of this thread!

Based on an article from Business Week, July 2nd 2007, "Who will Rule the 21st Century" I quote: "America holds a robust lead in the race for hegemony. Our economy is five times as large as China's and 15 times larger than India's, with about one-fourth the population of either nation". Next quote: " We just believe U.S. economic dominance isn't a function of how long the nation has been leading the pack. It's about how America operates as a country. We're talking mainly, about freedom and stability. Political parties disagree, often vehemently, but the government never stops running."

It's a very good article and regardless of the gloom that people are fed with by far left media there is no immediate sound of crumbling to be heard in the U.S. (if ever). Yes there are lots of fixes to be done, but as long as the foundation is solid, installing new windows, taking apart a wall and replacing with another should be not a problem...

The magazine has also a great article on"Children of the Web". It's about a global youth culture. It reminded me of our multi-national participation on this website.
We got to live in such great times... It is sad, that there are so many suicidal, hateful loonies out there, trying to destroy it.

“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”

Buddha agrees with you <smile>

I like eastern philosophy. Dalai Lama of Tibet comes to mind. I love the man's laughter.

The Inland Empire of Riverside County is the redneck capital of the world.
It includes cities like Fontana aka Fontucky.

I'm told I don't blend in with the locals here. Supposedly I stand out like a sore thumb, and have Los Angeles written all over my forehead.
