Europeans more brainwashed than 'Americans'??, page 1

FFS!!!!!!!!!.. Everytime I find a thread I think I might enjoy there's some small minded OP generalizing like crazy. Sorry OP but this is so stupid.

You are saying 'Europeans' but you are talking about the UK. The EU has 500 million.. the UK has 60 million of that.. How is the UK "Europe".

I live in Ireland and like most other EU countries, you can get guns for hunting.. just not for shooting people. Get that into your head!!!!!! WE CAN GET GUNS.. JUST NOT FOR SHOOTING PEOPLE LIKE YOU CAN

They banned the carrying of pocket knives in the UK because something like 30-35% of 13-15 year olds in London had used them to attack someone. How can you NOT justify a ban like that. You don't understand the complexities of that issue and how dangerous the UK has become in area's.. It is the worlds second most densely populated country after all.. and the British blood has always had a large amount of violence in it. Just because you think the accent is posh, don't be fooled to think they are pussies.

How do fights after football games by a tiny minority (20 vs 20) of scumbags qualify as wide scale EU wide brainwashing??? That is a ridiculous statement.. PUNCH YOURSELF IN THE FACE FOR THAT ONE PLEASE

To the second poster.. our press 99.9% of the time praises or is non bias towards the US.. its only that .1% of the time that when they criticize, the Yanks pick up on it and start generalizing and complaining like you are doing! There is very very little 'Anti US' reporting in our media since Bush left.. How hard is it to understand that when ye had little Hitler in power that we disliked what he was doing and as an extension, the rest of the US.. This is simple to understand, even a child would get this easily!

If you want to know about EU wide brainwashing.. read this. I have a pretty non bias mind and can see this happening pretty clearly.. and it is conditioning. The fact is though, Im going to tell you this and at some stage you are probably going to try and insult me with it at some stage in the future.

The EU spends 2.2 billion a year on pro EU propaganda INSIDE THE EU.. Thats more than Coca Cola spends a year on their ENTIRE GLOBAL MARKETING CAMPAIGN! Thats a campaign of 12 times the intensity of Coca Cola's.. How many times a day to you see or hear a coca cola ad?

And the EU conditioning is very subtle.. "Europe is here for you" - with a picture of a smiling child and a blue sky in the background etc. Little EU flags everywhere we look.. basically trying to break down our Nationalism and turn us into "Europeans". AND ITS WORKING ACROSS THE ENTIRE CONTINENT!!!!

Thats how we are brainwashed.. but your OP was absolute bull# and nonsense in my opinion.

Generalization is the outlet of the feeble minded.. or so the saying goes
