In Europe:

*You can walk down the street with a beer in your hand and a cop won't give you shit about it or tell you to pour it out.

*You aren't thrown in the slammer for having a tiny bit of Cannabis on you.

*Whore houses are readily available

*They aren't as pretentious about alcohol consumption

*Nudity isn't considering disgusting and it is celebrated tastefully through art.

*People don't shove patriotism down your throat.

*Maternity leave is decent, while in America it is the worst in the Western world.

*Public Transportation is readily available

Social freedom in America is a mere illusion and I know that for a fact since I've been living in Europe for 3 months (roughly).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Vienna, Austria.

No, sorry, but as right as some of these things may be for some of the countries, your statement is an overgeneralisation. Cannabis and prostitution laws, for example, vary from country to country

Of course it varies from country to country...I'm not a dunce. I was generally talking about my experiences in different countries throughout Europe (which I probably should have stated in the first post).

Quote:

and although it is legal to drink alcohol in public, you may still face prejudiced interrogations from the police if you do so.

In Austria, Germany, Prague, and Budapest...you could walk around drinking what you please. It's not the majority of Europe, however it is a good chunk.

Quote:

As for patriotism - I wouldn't say it is less existent in Europe, it is just expressed in a different way for historical reasons.

It's expressed in a less obnoxious manner IMO. You don't have moronic rednecks saying "love it or leave it" or some retarded saying like that...

Don't forget about censorship of the media and how you cannot say "fuck, shit" or any word that is deemed unsuitable.

Europe isn't perfect and I can find many flaws in ALL of the countries I've been to, however I'm just pointing out the ridiculous laws that America has against certain things.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
