but you were allways too afraid to ask?

I am from the devine continent of Europe.
We stand for Venus.

America seems to stand for Mars.

So, ask your questions.
Venus can bitch, but who uses nice words can get a friendly answer about her beloved continent.

Are you saying that Europe is the girl?

What makes it "Devine"?

How can Europe be effective, when they never seem to be able to come to unanimous decision about anything?

Is it true that the Euro has Mickey Mouse's face on it?

What criteria?
I don't understand what you mean.
In some old cities you can't pass some streets with a Hummer,
but that is rare.

I can tell you Americans that have the guts to hire a car are scared apeshit when they move into European traffic.

It's an allegory.. A way to express a feeling.
It has nothing to do with sex.
America relates to Europa as Rome to Greece.
Does that satisfy you?

Europa was a Greek nymph born from the sea.
Sounds devine to me.. ;)
But I agree, it is great fun to kick some American ass by telling we have a history that dates back at least 900 years.
Right now I have 2 blocks of wood in a shed, that date back from 1300.
We dug that up from a medieval waterhole.

That's just propaganda. Brittish Hoohah.
In fact, the EU would have been a lot faster without Great Brittain.
Those lousy bastards allways did everything to undermine everything in Europe. And that's why I would like the day, that Great Brittain would start floating in the direction to never never land.

Huh?

With a sense of humour, you can see a dick on the Euro.
I have a GIF of that somewhere.
Sweden and Norway together have the form of a dick, and Finland looks like the bullocks.. Ain't that funny? Duh... :confused:

Cracker please, I've driven in amsterdam, all the fuck over france, antwerpen, and many other places in europe. Yes traffic is bad in some places, especially paris and antwerpen. But, you would shit your pants driving in manhattan, or houston during rush hour. So don't tell me about traffic.

And no all the streets are not very narrow, just in some of the really old areas of cities.

no mickymouse is not on the euro.

Europeans feel they're "devine" for the same reason people with a long hidyory of money in their family, feel they're better than the newly rich. Because they feel as though they've paid their dues and along comes this new guy who has as much money or technology (possibly more).
Lets not forget the Nazis who considered themselves the Ariens. Better than everyone else, to put it bluntly.

Why is it that America doesn't use military time? Do you use both?
Click to expand...
We use middle European time, but UTC or GMT is quite common in Europe.
That's called ZULU time.
Middle European time is ALPHA time. As far as I know.

And I don't know, why Americans have problems with international time.

Don't forget, many Dutch live in several time zones.

USA/CANADA
EUROPE
AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND

Hmm.. A feeling of "Noblesse oblige".

Knighthood gives you the duty to enrich life in Europe.
It's a cultural thing.

And I don't understand, you bring in the stupid nazi's.

We are not better than everyone else...
We only have a higher moral standard.
And what is wrong with that?

But of course..
I should have said the political correct phrase ..
We have an own moral standard...

Are you satisfied now? :rolleyes:

O, you mean not using the AM/PM thing?
That's typical for England.
The European continent uses the military time then...

It's now 14:17 for instance.
