    Not sure I believe that. Europe has never been able to fully get along so I'm not sure why that would just change soon. As for the U.S.... I love it and so do many other people that live here and so do many people that don't live here hence people trying to constantly get into our country. I'm sick of hearing all this garbage about Europe and how great it is. Have a nice day. :laugh: LOL This really wasn't meant to be a combative or argumentive post so lets just stop here. Have a nice day.

    Did I miss something recently, was there some sort of huge earthquake or something?

    Europe is a continent, one of the 7 continents of the world!

    Unless they recently changed world geography!

    Well with the european union, that includes a standard law and now even a currency (for 17 countries) and open borders. You could make the arguement each european country is no different then any state in the United States of America.

    I can't afford the plane ticket. :D I'm sure the coutries there are beautiful and fun to visit but the U.S. is also a great place to be. Would you rather live in Europe than in Canada?

    I was thinking more mainstream sports, I think Lance Armstrong is by far the best athlete out there.

    Tris, didnt you notice my avatar a little while ago?
