How is America more conservative than Europe?

(1/4) > >>

Doggystylin:
If you take a look at American morals and standards and the culture as a whole it is much more conservative than Europeans today. How is this possible considering the U.S. was formed because of oppression in Europe. I just find it very ironic.

Teddy Roosevelt:
Haven't you seen Eurotrip?
"You know America was founded by prudes. Prudes who left Europe because they hated all the kinky, steamy European sex that was going on. And now I, Cooper Harris, will return to the land of my perverted forefathers and claim my birthright. " :laugh:

Joseph Bonanno:
Europeans are very conservative, they are just more effeminate than Americans therefore they alwyas gotta be on the offensive so their collective manhood doesn't completely get ran over.

virtuoso:

It depends what you mean, if you are insinuating that american politicians are conservative it would make as much sense as asking why did stalin care so deeply for humanity, or why do christians hate god. If you are asking in the general sense why do americans care for the constitution, it's because the constitution is the bed rock of the society, it's what imposes restrictions upon the state in order for them to not interfere in the lives of the people. Unfortunately the level of propogands has been such, that this notion of protecting the constitution has become associated with those who have something to hide, after all why wouldn't you want to a completely benevolent government to impose top down regulation and control, they know best. Of course, with the latter part of that statement I am being sarcastic.

maybe because America as we now it has been around for not to long. maybe 200-250 years. europe has been civilized since forever. America hardly has a culture. the little they have. they want to keep.
