Isnt it funny how foreigners refer to Americans as brainwashed, while their government has taken away?

their individual rights and they dont even realize it? Most europeans cannot experience the feeling of driving in a nice luxury auto,that feeling is reserved for the politicians. Most cannot afford a nice home, again the politicians live comfy. Most europeans cannot even protect themselves and their families from criminals. Why do they consider Americans as being brainwashed, since we havent given up our individual freedoms and they have?

Update:

CHARLIE---------good point-I spread the truth to people everyday, trying to wake them up about what is going on with this administration--------Spread the word my friend

Update 2:

lmao-----------I was in europe few months ago and NO, I didnt see any full size buicks and cadys in London or paris. And no, when apartments that are SERIOUSLY HERE, 250 sq ft and it costs $450,000, I will take my 3 acres and 2500sq ft home for $125,000 any day. As for as protecting one's family, did you see the cops stand by during the London riots and did nothing when a man was beaten?---Sorry, but those people are the ones brainwashed

Update 3:

INVISIBLE-----------I have been to Montreal and Toronto. I have been to Paris,London. I have been to Mexico,Bahamas,Puerto Rico. so I have been on a couple of planes--lol. My point being, in Europe, Americans wouldnt live like they live--------dd you know that their gas stations in Paris are HIDDEN down in alleys? Seriously, the government does not want the landscape of Paris to be changed. Did you know dogs do their business on the sidewalks because there are NO YARDS for the dogs to go? Did you know that people sleep on the street in London AND Paris? ---------MAYBE you should travel yourself instead of watching the TRAVEL CHANNEL ON THE TV

    LMAO WOW

    You sound brainwashed right now...

    Have you ever been to France?

    Okay maybe I'm giving you too much credit, you have to take a plane to get there...

    Have you ever been to Canada? Their public assistance homes look like our condos

    Even the most ran down streets in Brixton, England look like Beacon hill (Google it)

    Funny that you mention luxury cars...because majority Americans (Including yourself) Will never know what that feels like also

    And protect themselves from what criminals? The U.S. is the only nation that puts non-violent criminals in cages with murders and then we scratch our heads about the crime rate

    Jesus Effin Christ man Take a trip abroad, read a book about taking a trip abroad, hell read a blog about it

    Been to both actually, so what does that have to do with their living conditions? Dogs used to crap on the streets here all the time until they passed a law making you pick it up

    And those are called the homeless, we have them here also

    But you were talking about the quality of life not the aesthetics, and the quality of life is better plain and simple

    What is a luxury car model to you is a normal car to them so I hardly see your point. As for their homes, they live, in many cases, live quite nicely for less money then you most likely. As to their crime rate and gun control laws...well, one day you and your countrymen will realize just how much freedom your freedom to bear arms really costs you. The more guns you have out there...the more you need to defend yourself with....the more you get out there....the more still that you need to defend yourself with.

    Perhaps the Europeans have it right to begin with. After all, they are pretty far away from the US. Any further and they will only start getting closer again.

    What's it like to live you whole life never traveling more than 1/2 an hour from the spot where you were born?

    While you have a point, we as Americans are beginning to give up our rights as well. Hopefully we wake up soon, or we will end up like Europe in only a matter of a decade or so.

    Most are already socialist - or veiled liberalists

    Source(s): They know not what they say.....never having experienced what they denounce - countries like Norway for instance It's not exactly high on the list of go-to nations when you seek a better life is it?
