A people that largely can't comprehend that people walk to get groceries should not pass comment on Europe being lazy. Not to mention the tourists that need to spend a couple of weeks practicing 'walking' in order to survive

I'm sure there are whole companies that do that kind of "reputation management". Modern tech savvy PR firms etc I personally experienced it when criticising (turns out quite rightly) the HS2 rail project. The difference in re

Indeed. But Americans are told they never use that strength to their advantage. It's all just the working 23 hours a day, determination and chasing the American dream that has resulted in supreme economic success. Military is just for

The "pull yourselves up by your bootstraps" advice has more weight when the person saying it hasn't taken control of all bootstraps for a good 75 years. This is this toxicity in the toxic relationship between the US and EU. F

Good. You can keep most of those, we don't want them. Imagine a food version: "I don't see a McDonalds equivalent!". Good, you can keep that obesity-supporting fast-food crap, we (those without the addiction) don't
