you do know this happens the other way too

Not as much though let's be honest... I think because there is less blind patriotism in European countries we don't get as offended. Still proud, but not obsessively so :)

remember the post that made it to the front page and it made fun the U.K. for calling cigarettes, fags. i saw the comments, it was as much or even more butthurt ..... so after seeing that, i find your comment hard to believe.

aahaha it does need to be a two way thing!
im american and i think its funny

also how much bigger is the EU/ Europe than the US? is that only including mainland US?

I think in terms of population about 600million Europeans, GDP roughly double too (both excluding Russia)
