I lived in europe for 3 years during high school. It was fun to go out to bars and stuff as a high schooler but in the end, you go to the grocery store or the common shopping areas (not high end) and everything just seems a step or 2 below the US in some way. It's hard to explain but its just more ghetto and half assed. Think it goes back to what a poster said about the US being the hardest working country, b/c it is. 30hr work weeks in europe just dont cut it, especially when you factor in doing even the std 40hr/wk won't cut it for people who really want advancedment in the US. Other countries hold themselves back as part of culture not b/c they are lazy, but they do hold themselves back and it shows. Then they hate on us b/c not only do we not hold back like them we go above and beyond to make more money and succeed in the world.

Poster above really hit alot of points i agree with.
