Come on… people want to hear simple explanations… such as “The reason the terrorists attacked us was because they hate our way of life.” Don’t bother about the background story…

Okay. How about the fact that every other country on the planet takes an interest in things outside their own borders, while the U.S. media never gives a damn about anything if it doesn’t directly involve the U.S.? The U.S. media has its head up its ass consistently and continually; and the uninformed American public is evidence of this. Ever watch “JayWalking”?

The U.S. is allegedly *the* superpower of the day (China will join the club in its own good time, and Russia’s bucking for re-entry). If I lived outside the U.S., I’d sure have an interest in whoever gets elected… I’d want to know who would be coach of the all the superpowers’ teams when worldwide scraps take place.

There are things that are happening outside the borders of the United States, but people who rely on U.S. news media to tell the story get a very biased and one-sided view.

What about the US? Oh wait, they just overthrow governments instead of being into other elections.

LMAO I wonder how he’s doing up there in northern Pakistan.

Some German T.V. shows make it here to Spain. There’s one about a police dog, and another with thirty-year-old actors playing slutty high school kids. So maybe Europeans have more in common with Americans than you might think.

I have friends in Europe who also want to work in USA==just as they have worked all over the EU, Asia, and Africa. You see the Euro’s aren’t as insular in their world view as are “conservatives” everywhere.

What does a baby do when all its candy is gone?

This is not a criticism, just an observation. US politcals is the equivalent of El Nina in terms of the effect it has on the political climate of the rest of the world.

What’s to discuss? It’s not just Germany, it’s Big in Japan, France, Kenya, the UK, here in Ireland and elsewhere. The USA’s economy is tanking, its reputation in the rest of the world is trashed, and this election process is like watching a packed bus heading for a brick wall in slow motion. Call it morbid fascination: can the bus stop in time, or at least swerve to avoid a head-on crash?

>>Yep, why all my friends from EU have
>>me getting them green cards! LOL

Socialist… Don’t know… really! At least more to the left than USA, if “left” and “right” still mean something. At least EU countries have Social Security… no Paradise by any means, but still if I get sick I can get health care for free, and if I get out of work I can get unemployment money that it’s not just survival money. Sure we get high taxes, but for the most part of it we can see where they go.
