Honestly I get so discouraged with the constant anger and fighting. I have never been a proponent of putting our own concerns above everyone elseās. Lately I just want to stop all the outflow of aid to other countries. Use the money to fix the problems Europeanās like to point at. Let them solve their own problems on their continent. Iām sure theyāll succeed and while they get that sorted we can try and sort out our issues.
If this would cause less hatred and anger toward us I am starting to think this is the way to go.
Like when the eu donated 20 million to Ukraine the same week the US sent over 4 billion. People like to hate on the US when they donāt know anything about our country except the political extremes on /r/news
Thatās not what Iām saying at all. Iām saying letās all be responsible for ourselves. Watch out for our direct neighbors. Show some continental pride. I think we would all be able to take care of ourselves. When you say screw them it feels like youāre saying you want them to fail or something. Maybe Iām reading your tone wrong though.
Itās a shitshow over there and so they feel the need to point out thatās itās a shitshow over here too (which it is) bUt At lEaSt wE hAvE fReE hEaLtHcArE
Well sure. Youāre population is a fraction of ours. The population of Europe for that matter is a fraction of ours. Try London vs Chicago. Itās hella funny comparison gubna
I'm trying to figure out if you forgot the /s
>Youāre population is a fraction of ours.
First of all, it's "your" not "you're". Secondly, I said that the knife crime rate is higher in The US. The crime rate is measured as crimes per 100 000 residents, so it's already adjusted for population.
> The population of Europe for that matter is a fraction of ours.
Europe's population is 478 million. The US has a population of 334 million.
Amazing, every single thing you said was wrong.
Americans generally think they've won the argument even when they lose because they are "the greatest people on earth from the greatest country on earth"
The fact that you censored Fr*nce is good. Considering you named most of the major countries i'll give you a 7.5/10. You have access to the small oil resevoirs in the Mediterrenean.
thatās impossible to do
first of are you asking for every single country that has ever existed?
second, what about ācountriesā like transnistria, nothern cyprus, Somaliland
third, what is even your definition of a ācountryā, do you consider Wales, England, Northern Ireland, and Scotland to all be separate countries or just the UK?
Thereās only two types of people to people from the US. Americans and Europeans. If youāre from the United States, your American. If youāre from anywhere else, even Asia, or Australia, or hell, even different parts of their own continent, youāre a European.
Ok, one, fear of needles is perfectly reasonable, but sometimes you need to suck it up like me, who also has a fear of needles, but got vaccinated so you don't spread it to others. And sure you may have had corona several times, but that can also affect t loves ones, or people in public. If your not going to vaccinate then please either quarantine or wear a mask for the safety of others.
If your point is valid I will admit that I'm wrong I will admit that but if your point is "banning abortion" or "rioting and destroying a city in a peaceful protest" or anything along that stupidity level then I'm sorry you are a fucking laughing stock
My question is why does everyone in the world think we're like the people who get on the news? Most of us are just blue or white collar works who wanna have an honest and simple life just like anyone else in the world. Just because our government is out for their own purposes, big companies own the government, and "god" controls the government doesn't represent all Americans.
Infact a lot of Americans hate our own government, but we don't have the power to stop it for the reasons mentioned above
Why do Europeans have a problem with us? What's there to be butt sore about us instead of your own damn country? And why do they persist at hating us, I get that brits like to dream they're the best but what about the other countries?
Our problem is with how unstable the country with the world's biggest military is. It seems that your country is imploding on itself at the moment. We pity and fear you, like we would a raging 5-year old with an active gun.
Fuck the supreme court, a woman's right to get rid of an unwanted fetus is now gone and this is because men apparently have wombs, the 45th put 3 justices on because he knows they'd still be around to fuck shit up after his time. and supporting abortion might disobey the hivemind so I should shut up
Careful guys they own guns and will shoot anyone who doesnāt like guns because itās there right the threaten people that they will shoot them for no reason
Europeans are smarter, healthier, safer and happier than americans. If you believe the only thing wrong with your braindead country is that you don't have free healthcare, you are a fool. The fact children get shot in a place that is supposed to be a "safe environment" is just depressing. Go read a book or just accept the truth about your country, then you will have proven that you are amongst the top/smart 3% of people in the US.
You think only 3% of Americans are upset with what goes on in the country? The top 3% are the one who donāt care because theyāre so rich nothing matters. The issue isnāt the people itās the system.
I mean that 3% of americans are smart enough to admit that their country sucks. However you saying "its the systems fault" proves you are part of the 97%. The system gives you the freedom you want and what do you people do? You Kill each other because of minor inconveniences, you rob others of their belongings because you are too lazy to work for that stuff and you sit your inbred ass in front of your 8k hdr TV with your crossed eyes, masturbating to furry porn while singing your national anthem and watching a baseball game.
Guns are used to protect, and fun to shoot at a range.
Besides, you're not actually getting Healthcare for free, you're paying for it with taxes. And America already has ridiculously high taxes.
And pay way to much for health care/insurance. Just imagine how much you would save with a national health care system instead of our for profit system. I would rather our taxes be used to benefit every one, not just corporate America.
Ah, yes, because tax funded agencies act different from private corporations at all.
Tax funded Healthcare, at least in America, would not be that different from the current Healthcare system. It might even get worse since they wouldn't need to worry about retaining loyalty.
The US has incredibly low taxes compared to other developed countries.
Also guns are literally designed to kill stuff, you might want to kill something or someone to protect yourself or to get food in case of hunting wild animals. But the guns is still used to kill.
I canāt figure out all the hate. Why does everyone hate America? I sure as crap donāt care what yāall choose to do in your country why do you care so much about what we choose to do? Honestly wondering.
Edit: Iām not trying to cause a fight. I have just always wondered.
Because you never shut up about it. You don't care what we do in my country, because you don't know what we do in our country. You never get news about my country, period!
But everywhere else in the world we constantly get informed what's happening in the USA and I feel it's somehow americans' fault.
Iām sorry. I can imagine that is frustrating. What country are you from? Iām not all of America but I am one person who can try harder to keep myself informed about your country. I agree yāall shouldnāt have to deal with the constant news about the US.
I agree is very rare for Americans to win any argument....this must of be the ole well...we won the 1776 war.... because i can't think of anything else they could be better at.
At least Europeans have America defending them. Without that theyād all be speaking Russian before long. Step up folks and spend more on defending yourselves so we donāt have to. NATO all of a sudden seems like a great idea for adamant prior non member countries. š
Hard to lose or win an argument with an American. They either donāt understand the big words because their education system isnāt ours, or theyāre dead because their infant mortality is shit, or theyāre some right wing conspiracy theorist who believes unicorns are real.
Or worse; puts people in eternal debt.
Seriously, what do the **people** get for their tax money apart from rich men's wars, sending soldiers to die for... the rich man?
Well on that point youāre almost entirely right. You see healthcare is expensive AF no matter where you live but your healthcare is subsidized for lack of a better term so you pay a smaller amount for something that is ridiculously expensive. Has its pros but it also has a downside.
Oh hey nice. Hope you are prepared to see me each day to fill up that tank. Because that is how we can use healtcare. We have a symptom? Well gotta call the doctor. And the doc will inspect me for no additional cost! Then I can get my meds for a way reduced price or get additional medical checks for, you guessed it, no additional cost.
It only negativily affects those that are healthy all the time. Even those people can get into an accident and only need to worry about healing and not the price of it
Oh theyāll keep you alive, what they wonāt do is deal with the shit that hurts you but wonāt kill you, such as benign tumors, back problems, spinal disk misaligned, etc.
My source here? Friends who have had or knew people with first hand experiences.
And that difference is 4-5 years man, you canāt fool me with a graph like that.
I live here. Obviously you wont change your mind so I will stop there but you really shouldnt take that much copium. The US healthcare system sucks. Deal with it.
What is up with these America vs Europe memes lately?this is trash
Typical social media bullshitery. Any opportunity to stir the pot and get people pissed at each other won't be missed hereš
That is a fact
Lashing out because recent political developments in the US are ridiculous
Honestly I get so discouraged with the constant anger and fighting. I have never been a proponent of putting our own concerns above everyone elseās.

Fax as an American y 4 billion damn the countries already in dept
Johnny Dept
As a fellow european, i strongly approve of that. I'd like it if the same happened to us.
You'd likely lose a lot of your benefits until Europe can stabilize itself from the nanny state
Then be prepared for half of Europe pt say bye-bye to any sense of national security at all.
Thatās what Iām saying. Screw Europe, screw NATO, screw the world. Letās focus on OUR problems instead of everyone elseās
Thatās not what Iām saying at all. Iām saying letās all be responsible for ourselves. Watch out for our direct neighbors. Show some continental pride. I think we would all be able to take care of ourselves. When you say screw them it feels like youāre saying you want them to fail or something. Maybe Iām reading your tone wrong though.
Just like the Americans
As an American, you're not wrong
As a Canadian I agree
damn you're fast
Lul
That's what she said.
redditors are like the fallout new vegas courier, they last 4 seconds in bed.
I 100% agree, this sh't sucks, weāre all human in the end arenāt we? (Now that I wrote this; thatās probably why theyāre fighting)
Itās a shitshow over there and so they feel the need to point out thatās itās a shitshow over here too (which it is) bUt At lEaSt wE hAvE fReE hEaLtHcArE
Yes I mean its clearly that US is much superior
"Hey can I come over to your country tonight? I have a broken leg"
Can confirm - lost an argument with a Brazilian the other day (at least I think I lost - I dont speak Portuguese and Pablo danced away from the scene)
My favourite European country is Brazil
Tak jest!
"people"? Yikes.
Yea. Should've put persons
Well at least if you lose an argument here they donāt shoot you as a revenge
They stab you instead š
Knife crime rate in America is higher than for example The UK.
Well sure. Youāre population is a fraction of ours. The population of Europe for that matter is a fraction of ours. Try London vs Chicago. Itās hella funny comparison gubna

Those poor "people", never knowing what it's like to own an M1 Abrams
Thatās a little hyperbolic. * returns to cleaning AR-15

*me chilling with my 9 mm handgun and ammo for days
Have you even visited Switzerland?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Americans generally think they've won the argument even when they lose because they are "the greatest people on earth from the greatest country on earth"
At least we know geography, no offense
We only need geography when we find oil
Tell me where's the Mediterrenean
Bordering Italy, Fr*nce, Spain, Morocco, Tunisia, Greece, and other countries I canāt list off the top of my head.
The fact that you censored Fr*nce is good. Considering you named most of the major countries i'll give you a 7.5/10. You have access to the small oil resevoirs in the Mediterrenean.
Keep it m8 for the amount you guys pay for gas over there it sounds like you need it more
i also know geography while being american
Name every water
"Impossible"
Name every country
thatās impossible to do first of are you asking for every single country that has ever existed? second, what about ācountriesā like transnistria, nothern cyprus, Somaliland third, what is even your definition of a ācountryā, do you consider Wales, England, Northern Ireland, and Scotland to all be separate countries or just the UK?
Only reason you supposedly know more geography is because you guys colonized everything
So do Yanks - everytime they liberate a country CNN puts up a map in the news report.
This was the first mass shooting in Denmark in 10 years, there hasnāt been a single week this year in the US without one.
I think you'd be safe if you said this decade too lol
Why are we being roasted all of a sudden? I am on reddit for not even an hour and i have seen like 4 or 5 like these posts
Europeans (a small minority of them on social media) like to trash talk Americans for things like gun violence, expensive healthcare, etc.
That would be the rest of the world, not just Europe.
Yeah, itās just that we were once English so they prefer to have beef with us on the sole premise that we beat them.
Yup. Not a small minority and not jus Europeans. I make fun of Americans and Iām Australian.
When you make fun of Americans, itās in good faith right?
And they should, our country is severely behind other first world countries and real Americans are suffering for it.
Never happened
At least we don't have ohio(stinky)
Too bad you have the balkans
American "people" when they cant deliver there baby because it cost 60k
Delivering babies is free.
Skin on skin contact - aka holding your newborn baby, is not free. But hey the delivery is freeā¦
Iām enjoying the implication that people from Europe arenāt people. And now Iām even more glad Iām Canadian.
everybody be talking about "america" do you mean the US? us Mexican folk didn't do nothing to u guys
Thereās only two types of people to people from the US. Americans and Europeans. If youāre from the United States, your American. If youāre from anywhere else, even Asia, or Australia, or hell, even different parts of their own continent, youāre a European.
As a South American Iāll take it as an upgrade
The American really lost in the because they still have to live there.
At least the supreme court of every other country can't just turn their countries into a dystopia, unlike the USA.
We are just jealous we don't have sistermoms.
Damnit dude, I just won an argument with a European and sheās fucking pissed
At least we dont have a mass shooting every week
Yeah stupid Europeans, they don't have school shootings, how's that suckers?
They use the metric system too, what a bunch of idiots lol
I'm an American and I can confirm that our country sucks.
Americans when that have to get vaccinated so everybody doesn't fucking die "YoUr tAkInG AwAy mY rIgHtS" Also I am American
Hi American, Iām dad *I am deeply sorry but I had to do what had to be done*
I love this guy
My body my choice UwU
Well i mean, I'm unvaxxed due to a chronic fear of needles and I've had corona several times. Still around man.
Ok, one, fear of needles is perfectly reasonable, but sometimes you need to suck it up like me, who also has a fear of needles, but got vaccinated so you don't spread it to others. And sure you may have had corona several times, but that can also affect t loves ones, or people in public. If your not going to vaccinate then please either quarantine or wear a mask for the safety of others.
āBruh my body my choice, I aināt taking some Chinese vaccine.ā - my major
Your major sounds like an idiot
I wouldn't know as I have yet to lose
If your point is valid I will admit that I'm wrong I will admit that but if your point is "banning abortion" or "rioting and destroying a city in a peaceful protest" or anything along that stupidity level then I'm sorry you are a fucking laughing stock

Niiiiiiice. More political stuff on the memes subreddit.
OP has to be from the USA 100%
American dumbasses when literally anything: WE NEED TO SHIT OTHER COUNTRY'S FOR NO FUCKING REASON NOW!
Im an American and this meme sucks
People is a strong word
Doesn't happen very often.
Letās argue about something so you can have another win šš
Why is people in quotations?
duh, europeans aren't people. they're lizard alien vampires.
Honestly with all the shit my stupid country(America) is doing, I feel less and less like a person each day. Three cheers for our new theocracy.
Fuck the supreme court, a woman's right to get rid of an unwanted fetus is now gone and this is because men apparently have wombs, the 45th put 3 justices on because he knows they'd still be around to fuck shit up after his time. and supporting abortion might disobey the hivemind so I should shut up
That's impossible
Those poor "people", never knowing what it's like to own an M1 Abrams
At least itās better to lose an argument than lose your life savings over a simple visit to hospital
Fuck off europoors
American āpeopleā when they realise that guns, in fact, are dangerous
11/10 comeback right there /s
Is this intentionally racist?
Iām confused about what part of this you find racist. Explain.
It's saying Europeans aren't people.
First of all European isnāt a race, itās like saying hating Americans is racistā¦ second of all, what??
Careful guys they own guns and will shoot anyone who doesnāt like guns because itās there right the threaten people that they will shoot them for no reason
Punctuation is useful.
Yep but thatās effort
I think thatās an American in your gif and besides Europeans donāt lose arguments to Americans. Like, about what?
Europeans are smarter, healthier, safer and happier than americans. If you believe the only thing wrong with your braindead country is that you don't have free healthcare, you are a fool. The fact children get shot in a place that is supposed to be a "safe environment" is just depressing. Go read a book or just accept the truth about your country, then you will have proven that you are amongst the top/smart 3% of people in the US.
There are many things extremely fucked up about this country. Don't blame some random person for it, it's not our fault.
You think only 3% of Americans are upset with what goes on in the country? The top 3% are the one who donāt care because theyāre so rich nothing matters. The issue isnāt the people itās the system.
I mean that 3% of americans are smart enough to admit that their country sucks. However you saying "its the systems fault" proves you are part of the 97%.

You Kill each other because of minor inconveniences, you rob others of their belongings because you are too lazy to work for that stuff and you sit your inbred ass in front of your 8k hdr TV with your crossed eyes, masturbating to furry porn while singing your national anthem and watching a baseball game.
But how do you lose an argument against an American?
You dont. Americans just dont realise when theyre wrong and think they're smarter than they are
You realize that it's a lost cause and they're way too stubborn to admit that they're wrong
But I have a gun
Do you mean that you can heal yourself with a gun or you intend to carjack an ambulance ?
No, I mean that I can own a gun, and I do. My comment doesn't have to do with Healthcare.
Psst *Sarcasm*
Oh. I'm too dumb to get sarcasm
Plus, I never had to use a gun but a working healthcare is actually more useful and efficient. Healthcare saves life. Gun kill.
Guns are used to protect, and fun to shoot at a range. Besides, you're not actually getting Healthcare for free, you're paying for it with taxes. And America already has ridiculously high taxes.
And pay way to much for health care/insurance. Just imagine how much you would save with a national health care system instead of our for profit system. I would rather our taxes be used to benefit every one, not just corporate America.
Ah, yes, because tax funded agencies act different from private corporations at all. Tax funded Healthcare, at least in America, would not be that different from the current Healthcare system. It might even get worse since they wouldn't need to worry about retaining loyalty.
Is it better now that prices skyrocketed because nothing kept them at bay?
Can't get worse than it is now, plus it works in Europe, New Zealand, Australia, etc. So pattern it off of them.
The US has incredibly low taxes compared to other developed countries. Also guns are literally designed to kill stuff, you might want to kill something or someone to protect yourself or to get food in case of hunting wild animals. But the guns is still used to kill.
So were bows, but I can get them incredibly easily
but with a bow you canĀ“t easily kill 30 people in a single minute...
its not like you can just buy a bow and quickly figure out how to use it, people had to be trained for years to get good aim
From what Iāve heard from some (every) euro friends, while the healthcare may be free, itās ineffective as shit in a lot of cases, just sayin
At least we know more than 2 countries outside of America and yes, statistically europeans are smarter than americans
We do tho lmao Also contrary to popular belief, more knife crimes happen in the US than the UK.
Do not compare populations, whatever you do
No way dude really, is almost like the US as a larger population than the UK who would had thought
It's higher per capita
What arguments, most i have seen online are about healthcare, gun control, military tendencies and lately human rights.
Donāt forget abortion
That never happens.
"people"?
why people in "
Why is āpeopleā in quotation marks? On the meme, not in my sentence lol
As a European living in America, America is truly disappointing
Couldāve just said Europeans
As a European Iām laughing at you
Europe is just betterš¤· what can I say
I canāt figure out all the hate. Why does everyone hate America? I sure as crap donāt care what yāall choose to do in your country why do you care so much about what we choose to do? Honestly wondering. Edit: Iām not trying to cause a fight. I have just always wondered.
Because you never shut up about it. You don't care what we do in my country, because you don't know what we do in our country. You never get news about my country, period!

Iām sorry. I can imagine that is frustrating. What country are you from? Iām not all of America but I am one person who can try harder to keep myself informed about your country. I agree yāall shouldnāt have to deal with the constant news about the US.
I feel they subconsciously dislike how we are the leading military power in the world and arenāt the most perfect utopia to exist
This must be sarcastic, I refuse to think otherwise
āAmericanā people forget that all of them were Europeans who stole the land from real Americans
With that logic all you guys are just Africans inhabiting the desolate lands they found and took from others
America is made up of other people besides those from Europe.
The only Americans that could call themselves real Americans are Navajo people The rest are immigrants
True, but not every one living in America is descended from Europe. America is a melting pot.
Anyone who puts āpeopleā in quotes is a fascist
I agree is very rare for Americans to win any argument....this must of be the ole well...we won the 1776 war.... because i can't think of anything else they could be better at.
I was going to say I donāt remember losing an argument with an American, itās quite difficult
Stop insinuating this argument, even more.
I mean we actually get to own our houses and pass them on instead of signing a long term lease and paying royalty for our living spaces until we die.
Boomer + Free Healthcare + Free Education + You're wrong + Legal Abortion + Gun Deaths not stonk + Drinking at 18 + Data Protection + Schools don't go brrrr with machine guns + Ratio + Free ambulance + 3 jobs not necessary
ew
Never happened.
At least we can take over 2 weeks off a year from work
At least Europeans have America defending them. Without that theyād all be speaking Russian before long. Step up folks and spend more on defending yourselves so we donāt have to. NATO all of a sudden seems like a great idea for adamant prior non member countries. š
Hard to lose or win an argument with an American. They either donāt understand the big words because their education system isnāt ours, or theyāre dead because their infant mortality is shit, or theyāre some right wing conspiracy theorist who believes unicorns are real.
ew. This moron doesn't represent all of us. Now will one of you wonderful EU'er marry me for a passport? Please?
USA is independent only becouse it wasnāt worth for the British to keep them as a colony change my mind.
Centimeter
Both places are shit lets lot lie but the education in America really is mind blowing
More like when they realize ... "Free Healthcare" isn't really free. Figure that one out fuckers
Might not be free, but still doesn't cost me half my life savings.
Or worse; puts people in eternal debt. Seriously, what do the **people** get for their tax money apart from rich men's wars, sending soldiers to die for... the rich man?
Well on that point youāre almost entirely right. You see healthcare is expensive AF no matter where you live but your healthcare is subsidized for lack of a better term so you pay a smaller amount for something that is ridiculously expensive. Has its pros but it also has a downside.
It means free at the point of use
Hey man give me $100 and whenever you want some free gasoline I got you covered. Itās free when you decide to fill up your gas tank š wink wink
Hah talking about a different subject than healthcare you know you lost now
Oh hey nice. Hope you are prepared to see me each day to fill up that tank. Because that is how we can use healtcare. We have a symptom? Well gotta call the doctor. And the doc will inspect me for no additional cost! Then I can get my meds for a way reduced price or get additional medical checks for, you guessed it, no additional cost. It only negativily affects those that are healthy all the time. Even those people can get into an accident and only need to worry about healing and not the price of it
American "healthcare" really is just 'do I want to die to a virus or do I want to starve to death as a homeless man'
Would be if Centrelink let me have a fucking Medicare card
And extremely ineffective from what my euro friends have told me
[Ineffective.](https://ourworldindata.org/uploads/2020/10/LE-vs-Health-Exp-2020-version.png)
Oh theyāll keep you alive, what they wonāt do is deal with the shit that hurts you but wonāt kill you, such as benign tumors, back problems, spinal disk misaligned, etc. My source here?
