  • I'm sorry, but better housing and better healthcare...

    A lot of American homes are made basically from plywood! European homes are made from brick, metal and cement. The only upside is that American homes are generally larger.
    And in Eastern Europe, you could build your dream house, with a double garage for about 100-150 grand.

    And healthcare works in Europe, even in Eastern Europe. My dad got an artificial heart valve and he only paid about 1000 Euro. It wasn't for the surgery, or the valve itself. It was a "donation" to the hospital, so their best surgeon would be the one to do the operation. Yeah, little bit corrupt, but I paid nothing in Germany to have my eyes checked and get new glasses.
    I also paid nothing at the dentist for a checkup and a bit of teeth cleaning.
    All of that medical work would have cost nearly as much as the development of the F32 in the US. XD

    People working in the US also get less holidays and generally unpaid vacations. In the EU, paid vacation is standard and on average there are 25 holidays.
    Overtime is strictly monitored by the state and you get protection. Your boss can't run you to the ground... If the bastard tries, you could sue the whole company.
    On the other hand, there are companies that reward their employees properly for their overtime and extra work.
    Overpay is not common in Europe. Unless you are a politician that is...

    One big advantage you guys have is cheap gas and better equipped vehicles. A 4-pot is the poverty spec. The mid-range model has a V6, automatic, heated seats, leather, navigation, etc...
    Great 2nd hand market too... There ain't no other place in the universe where you can buy a V8 car for less than 2000 bucks.

    In Europe every single thing is an optional extra and eco-tards keep pushing for ICE bans. I say, they can kiss my ass! Bunch of retards... Nobody else is downsizing, or banning regular engines, so let us do it first and be proper masochists!

    The US has it's advantages, but it isn't perfect. Europe has it's advantages, but it isn't perfect. Instead of being at each other's throat and acting like we are so different... Let's unite against our enemies - the reds, radical islamists and any other scum.

    • Enjoy your Eastern European privilage of not being swallowed up by Russia because Americans pay an extreme price to fund a military that let's you all stay actual nations. The same goes for you Scandinavia! And Canada! With your "capitalism with benefits", that people confuse with socialism.

      Megadriver are you really arguing your stuctures are stronger? Yeah no shit they're 1000 years old; from Vlad the Impalers time. No one is migrating to Buddahpest or Prague that aren't middle eastern refugees.

      American health care sucks because we have a bunch of obese smokers that treat the emergency room like a walk in clinic and don't want to pay everytime a dumb kid hits his head, or has a mild fever, or eats laundry detergent. In other countries they would say fuck off, enjoy your scar- but the U.S has lawyers and plastic surgeons ready to fix everyone perfectly.

      I suppose that is moreso a shitty culture of entitlement and self disrespect than a knock on a chronyism version of capitalism that renders American health care a disaster. But hey, we can also go to Germany for cheep surgery.

      • Eastern European privilege? Eastern Europe was on the soviet side until the USSR collapsed and communism continues to plague Eastern European countries to this day.
        My grandmother's pension was 100 dollars a month! You call that privilege?!

        You didn't do shit, except your war with Yugoslavia, where they shot down your "undetectable" stealth bomber, before their country fell apart too. Sure, there are a few American bases in Eastern Europe, one is in Bulgaria and I even have friends there, but still with far less presence than in England, or France and Germany.

        The border countries of the EU are the ones that are holding back the arabs from flooding into Europe. Us Bulgarians and the Greek have been doing it for well over a thousand years!

        Bulgaria and the US have only really started to cooperate properly within the last 10-15 years. I am very happy about that and hopefully with the guidance and cooperation from the US and the EU, we'll finally have a proper democracy and people can live normal lives, but don't think you were the knights in shining armor that saved Eastern Europe Rambo style...
        Sadly the Russian influence throughout Eastern Europe is still strong, but it is fading and that's fantastic!

        More and more people can now see how a normal westerner lives and how a normal Russian lives, without state funded media telling them lies. It's a simple question really... Normal life, house, car, retirement and freedom vs poverty, being psychologically crushed by the system every day and dying from hunger in the ass end of nowhere.

        As for Prague and Budapest, those are two beautiful cities, where you can find just about any nationality. Prague is one of my favorite cities. Very decent rent for a capital city, hot summers, great public transport, beer is cheaper than water, the food is fantastic and czech girls are always down for fun.
