European vs. Asian nations as groups

[DragonNL]

We are not as triggerhappy as Americans...
If one of us is in trouble we help each other. That's what the EU is for.

Right, I'm sure they will all remember that when the envariable economic depression caused by thier socialized states comes a calling to collect.

Germany already bailed out Greece.... Spain and Portugal seem to be next.... How many more countries are the German people going to bail out before the growing resentment for the poorer countries in the EU surfaces?

[Ryzorian]

Or before Germany decides enough is enough and those idiot countries can bail themselves out?

It's not entirely their fault their economy isn't that great right now. The financial crisis started out in the USA. If there ever surfaces an resentment, it won't be against our own EU countries.

It may have started in the US, but it surely is the fault of the EU countries' banks who thought buying US debt as an asset was a smart idea. Look at China. They were smart enough not to mess with it and they're not having to deal with toxic assets....

Rumors have begun about countries leaving the Euro.... I don't know how founded they are, but it seems to me that all is not peachy in Europe....

I was born in Spain and lived there for nearly half of my life. I have most of my familiar roots still in Spain and I consider myself more Spanish than American, so this is not a US vs. EU discussion for me. I'm still trying to figure this country out (United States)....

The EU made it more easy to trade and things like that, but even if things are not going so well and the EU is falling apart (And trust me I couldn't care less if it happened) we're still not going to attack each other or anything like Ryzorian said..

Countries leaving the Euro doesn't mean everyone's going to start arguing!

I love Asian countries for they are very diligent enough, and they promote good sense of dignity. They fight for their country at times of defeat. They even care for their citizen.

[Ryzorian]

How much history does Europe have of fighting and warfare and how much does it have of "working together"?.

Johnbraden; I was born in the US and I can't figure us out either.
