Lol, I think like I have to explain the little trollish-crusade I went on, considering the Island, that Europe didn't want.
No, I don't hate the British. I actually like them, most of them are very decent, rational people. Like Italians, some of them aren't the nicest folks, other Italians are.
Now, what brought to my little trollish-crusade:
Following quotes:
Bush is seen as far-right in Europe. The leftists don't like that. They combine with those who generally dislike America for being powerful to create a large opposition to Bush in Europe. And Yago, Europe is less democratic and certainly less of a market economy than America.
Yeah, right. And my grandma is a young girl, sprinting everyday.
Boredom has nothing to do with it. People don't vote for MEPs because they feel there is no point. There is no point because the European Union is inherently undemocratic. And I find it ridiculous that Europeans feel the democratic superiority to make fun of the American Presidental election. I say we look at ourselves before laughing at others.
Whoa, yeah, the Britsh lords teaching democracy. And the EU is not a country, it is a multi-national organisation. Lessons from the land of gerry-mandering aren't to be taken to serious.
80% of the French people wanted someone else to win the first ballot of the French Presidental election and the French feel they are able to criticise Bush for not winning a majority. As I have said before and I will say again, we Europeans have no right to laugh at the democratic strangeness of other countries.
The same for the British, which, again, are not a shining-bright example themselves.
My random, yet entirely predictable , thought for this thread:
Continental Europeans can start slagging off the US elections when they cease electing criminals as their own Presidents. Bush's election problems pale into insignificance when put alongside the corrupt and rotten political system at the heart of France, Italy, the European Union, Germany et al.
That, together with John Wayne (yeah, I know, a jingo from another country) and vote for BNP, was enough of snobism from the great oligarchy behind the Channel-Islands and I went troll with this one (omitting making a connection to the quotes above)
And anyway, I don't consider a country a democracy, where the put their heads into the dirt, when they meet a "lord". There's a reason, that a certain Island is not wanted. I would be happy, some MTV-viedos would become true and that country would set sail and cross the pond. Then it would have the great pleasure of being the 51 state of a great country.
And then came this:
I cant speak for Europeans over this whole envy thing (I wonder about the French for instance) but the British dont have an envy thing going over the US, we like you guys generally, and if truth be told we are a hell of a lot more similar to you than we are to any of our actual neighbours.
Yes, yes, wonder about those strange people on this strange continent.
Then I thought someone is joining me on my trollish-crusade
If you ever wonder what a French think on about any subject, it's quite simple : imagine which point of view can make himself important and dismiss others, and you've pretty well summed up his thoughts
Some, in my view, very ignorant and stupid comments of some British-right-wingis have gotten me on a trollish-crusade, that is true. So, maybe I've been way too trollish and maybe I am one of the problems which are the reason the rethink customs and rules on this forums, i.e. those newcomers on this side, which caused a lot of problems. Well, the right-wingi position of the British is well known. The continent is birthplace of devilish and evil things, like the Metric-system.
