European electronic music, in addition to its rock and underground. Of course, America has electronic, rock, and underground scenes of its own.... Er, at least there seems to be one based on what I see and hear on the Internet. I also consider many European accents aesthetically refined. (That's right. I went there.)

We indeed do irony, it's just not the issue with us that it is with you Europeans.

That's your claim to greatness then.
Canadia and Mexico.
FFS the English gave Canadia their freedom when they got bored with it and the Spanish took everything of worth from Mexico then left it for dead.

I thought the title was a rod.
Does the average American go, "I wish we had it like XXXXX European country"?
What could there be? Looking back, the UK had a nice empire going but that is long gone.
Maybe I will become envious of European freedoms since our President Darth Sidious is signing off on laws like the Patriot Act and the MCA.

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
If this thread was 'Welsh folk shag sheep' - or something else that the whole world may believe to be true but I, as a Welshman, know the truth to be somewhat different - I'd probably hijack the thread with indifferent comments.
Which leads me to believe that Americans really do envy Europeans.
Monsieur jdeux really did rise - and ultimately fall - to the bait.

He's simply talking about getting games quicker, not becoming JPaul.
I could see many Americans wanting to go elsewhere like Europe but the country would have to go further downhill.
Although, Republicans may win out since there is still computer voting.:dry:

lol you must have forgotten about mid-evil times..... you guys had your fun, its our turn. :P when we tire of it, we'll all turn into old snob nossed bigots that smell funny... like Jpaul. Then we'll lose our ability to get erections, and develop shitty brown teeth.
No, seriously. Almost every culture will envy something about another. You guys have the laxed drug laws, we have pop culture. You guys also get to live like right next door to most of the worlds top designers. Not to mention BMW, Ferrari, Benz, Rolls..... Damn! come to think of it all we have is stupid useless youth n strength. But thats all us imperialist bastards need, cause if you dont like it we'll just beat your ass.:D

There is a difference in the language though. We speak american lol. "pip-pip cheerio" is not a word here. aight im done bein a jerk 4 now, be back later. btw I bet they're not =)-

Our unfeasibly large Washington/Virginia Johnson?
I don't know wtf he's talking about there.:idunno:
Our shopping ability?
I save money when buying stuff versus spending recklessly. It helps me save and afford more than a person who just, "pays for it full price, ffs".
Our recklessly wide variety of esoteric domestic weaponry?
Over the years I have studied martial arts and have shurikens (many from childhood in great condition), a decent sword, and some guns that I've only used at the range.
Our six-sided domiciles?
I have guns stashed in six-corners of my house. I can get to them in case of emergency (like a home invasion). I still don't get the six-sided house bit though.
Our "free" microwave ovens?
The store never took the first microwave that I received out of inventory so when I scanned my receipt at the loading dock pick-up on another day....they came out with another microwave.
The mothers who use them?
I gave it to my mother.
