What's that got to do with anything? Some crappy survey that shows a few Europeans in a poor light means that I don't know anything about my own country and you who live in America knows better than me? Wow, could you be any more patronising? That's not the first time you've mentioned that survey, so obviously you've got this view of Europeans being stupid that you love to keep touting with this "evidence". You get yourself in a little hissy fit if anyone calls you stupid but then bring out this crap.

Btw, what that link fails to mention is that it was a survey by a TV channel in the UK only where only 3,000 people were surveyed, so not exactly a large number of Europeans (out of around 700 million who live in Europe). You obviously want to believe that people in Europe are stupid.



Amen to that.



I know. For someone who hates being called an idiot he sure loves to call other people stupid. Besides that poll is throwaway at best. It was done by UKGold who wanted to get some press for their channel. A news release stating "Britons know Sherlock Holmes wasn't real" wouldn't exactly get much attention in the press.

Again, you post was mostly personal attacks. Maybe cite something that says that Europeans do well on math tests or something to support your position?

The Pravda quote was not just one occasion, but was illustrative of something that they routinely do. It was the one occasion that I could think of off the top of my head that was plainly a lie that REALLY stuck with me as truly ridiculous. I mean, who doesn't know that Putin controls the press in Russia anymore? It is nothing more than government spin. They have no compunction about reporting lies. I used to read the dispatches sent by a guy in another group from the foreign press, but they reports usually bore no resemblance to what was actually going on here. They were full of anti-American bias and slant, yet, you call me xenophobic?! Europeans tend to be the most hostile to Americans, snobbish, and condescending people. Try going somewhere in Paris as an American without running into someone being rude because you are American. Me xenophobic? Whatever?!
