In other words they hate us for being "on top" as it were?
I believe that before one can complain about one area or another in somebody else's life, they should have their house in order first.
That said, I don't hate Europe or Europeans specifically. I loathe their attitude about how they are being governed, they are like cattle in that respect. Unfortunately many Americans are like that as well.
I mean really, what's the average unemployment rate in western europe?
Last I looked France was near 11% and Germany was not far behind.
What is the unemployment rate in the USA? At or around 4%. And our economy's supposed to be in the tank?
