The British upper class wants the freedom to abuse their lower class more and they sold this nonsense to them with a spiel about sovereignty. Thank God the Brits have such a taste for irony. They'll be feasting on this one for the bett

Europe underspending was a logical response to the ridiculous overspending of the US. And most of that money isn't actually spend on anything that keeps anyone safe. We make more milk than anyone needs and then we subsidize it and thro

European here: that's not how you negotiate with friends. That would show a dangerous lack of cultural understanding. We have long memories and don't care about money as much as Americans do. We will prefer to be proud and poor. T

When somebody speaks their mind, everybody around them knows where they stand. I doubt there is difference between about how often people resent other people around the world. But I do consider it more humane if resentment isn't hidden

Swearing doesn't damage morale. Many soccer coaches and inspiring pep talks contain swear words. It's a style figure. Tact can be very usefull in small teams where trust and coordination is important. For large projects, with thou

When it comes to being oversensitive needy little things there is no true Scottsman. As a northern European I find it not only comfortable that Linus runs Linux, but I would be less comfortable if it was another American smile in face pret

For somebody from Holland it's hard to understand how any family being that poor in a country like France with all it's socialism and union rights can be a thing. We count as quite capitalistic compared to France but just for havi

In Dutch we have a saying: As is the inkeeper does he trust his guests. I'm always surprised by this pattern of extreme paranoia. In most of the world lottery winners are anonymous, because people wouldn't even consider cheating w

You aren't spending nearly as much as Americans and for that money you treat everyone. Are large organisation inefficient? Yes. Is it frustration when you look at it? Yes. Does this mean the US situation where they are spending 3 to 5
