Yo, you know that Europe ain't one nation?
"conservative" and "liberal" societies come and go, it ebbs and wanes. You're alluding to Europe being more liberal than America, when you find that 200 years ago, Europe was more conservative than those that founded America... but if you look back to say the 1500's, shit like pedophilia was an accepted practice in Europe at the time. I'm not slamming Europe at all. I'm just saying that things get crazy, then tightly wound up, then crazy again all the time. This is nothing new. America is much more conservative now than it was in the 60's with all the hippies and free love, etc. And the 50's were much more conservative than we have it now... but if you look into info about the 30's, there was a TON of crazy shit going on in the urban cities of America. Now if you look at statistics, things like teen preganancy is dropping, drug use is dropping, crime in many cities is dropping, there's a lot of things turning back towards more traditional times again. a lot of it is family values hip-hopping over themselves... i.e. one generation is too strict, the next rebels and is too liberal, their children work hard to make a strong family for their children, who rebel, etc. It goes back and forth back and forth. This is how things are... long after we're all gone, others will be talking about the same thing.

To the average American, no other country even exists until we start thinking about where we're going to go on vacation.
LOL Yeah, the average American is enlightened about the world. Please. I am the epitome of the average American. I NEVER think about other countries, until I decide to go on vacation or what dude said about War. You think we really give a shit what's going on in Afganistan? LOL Yeah, I lay awake at night thinking about Afganistan. There is so much to do in America and everybody is so involved in their lives they have no concern over the rest of the world. That's a fucking fact.
