- pvg 9y agoThat doesn't make you right, nor does it turn your impressions of Germany into something sensible about 'Europeans'.
- alexasmyths 9y agoA) Your ad-hominem is out of line. B) You know nothing about me. Not that it matters: not only have I lived in Germany, I have lived in France for many years, I earned a Graduate Degree in Europe, worked for the European government (EIB), 'lived in Luxembourg' in all practical reality, speak three European languages, and visited nearly every European country. In addition to having lived in two very different American states for several years, and have visited more than 1/2 of them, and visit the USA regularly. C) Not only am I entitled to my opinions, in this case they're neither novel nor contentious, and they are more or less correct.
- pvg 9y agoWhat exactly is the 'ad hominem' here? I also don't really need to know anything about you to think the opinions you are so fondly entitled to are rather shallow generalizations. You can be president of the EU and "Europeans have a great disdain and entrenched negative view of wealth" would still be a shallow generalization.
