To begin with, there is no discrepancy between top and front loader washers, they are both used just as much in america. Religion is not looked on as something to be apart from government, it just isn't a part of it period.(The pledge of allegiance has a symbolic meaning and many Americans do not interpret it as religious ) Many politicians have varying religious beliefs that have nothing to do with the policies they implement. A Mormon is running for president, yet I have not heard him once preach The Church of the Latter Day Saints. (Am not a supporter of him either way) Also, the part the author spoke of patriotism was just completely false. It made all Americans seem like ignorant country folk and all Europeans like empathetic philanthropists. Our patriotism is from our independence as a nation in the late 1700's, we are proud of our freedoms, not because the color of our flag or race. America is extremely culturally diverse with many nationalities populating the coasts(liberal areas) and established demographics in the central areas (conservative areas). On schooling, the reason why school is free in most European countries is because of the differing systems of government, duh! Taxes are much higher outside of America. We value education here just as much as you do, however, there is a very strong foundation of self reliance built in many people here. Self reliance is to less government is to less taxes is to less social programs. We don't expect the government to pay for our school, or our kids school, that is why we sacrifice and put the money away. Not only because we don't want the handout, but because we don't pay the taxes to pay for the handout. For political correctness, Americans don't discriminate on your church whatsoever. It just doesn't happen. Race would be more in line with what is aimed at with political correctness. I don't even know what to say for the dating part of this article, besides it must have been arbitrarily composed while watching the movie "American Pie". Just because you watched an american movie/TV show, it doesn't mean you have an acute understanding of interpersonal relationships among an entire population! Marriage isn't important because of Religion, its important because its symbolic, that's it. lets not forget the authors reference to the "Americans common use of gangsters and criminals in the US military for their “killing talents”, and the way they can pass from notorious criminals to national heroes"........ Really? because The only time i remember this happening was in the movies.. If your going to write an article about two VAST population groups, please reference SOUND material that is OBJECTIVE and please refrain from confusing your subjective to this category. You started off objectively then quickly changed this into your own personal views. Very offensive. As an american, I do not feel like the author grasped the american aspects they were contrasting.

]]> Comment on 10 Least Intelligent Dogs by AnnLee http://www.reasonpad.com/2009/05/10-least-intelligent-dogs-2/comment-page-1/#comment-49755 AnnLee Wed, 28 Sep 2011 03:19:18 +0000 http://www.reasonpad.com/?p=1514#comment-49755 Basenjis are far more intelligent than this states. They ARE independent which is why they are not easy to train, they get bored with repetitive actions and I have personally seen a basenji in obedience leave his owner who is standing in the sun on a day when midday temps were over 95°F., and walk into the shade and lie down and remain there. To me this shows the dog has more intelligence than the owner. I've owned many basenjis over 4 decades and have had escape artists that could get out of any inclosure, seemingly by magic. I had one that would open the dishwasher door to make it easier to get up onto the kitchen counter and I had to velcro the fridge door with a strap to keep her out of it. The thing is that basenjis train their owners, not the other way around. Basenjis are far more intelligent than this states.

YOu have a lot to learn about europe and a lot of the other countries listed above. You should educate yourself before you speak and brag, and put other people down. The usa is a great country thats build up by mainly EUROPEANS.... So you should thank us instead of being so arrogant and looking down on us. I'm asuming you are an American because of the arrogance I an read from your post. Let me intorduce myself, 'm from the Netherlands, A kingdom in Europe with its own royalty and palaces and history. And please don't bring up that the Americans saved us in the world war because I would have to send you back to your history books and let you learn that It where actualy the Canadian who came to our rescue at first. The Americans came in the picture MUCH later. Who cares that the USA is much richer? Do you even now that the roots and most of the building up in the USA has been done by immigrants from a lot of these small european countries? Since our country is listed above and therefor judged by you in such a negative manner without probably KNOWING anythign about our country I like to share soem information with you that i took from wikipedia. Although I have to admitt that I dont even think you will ever read this because of your arrogance and try to lean something, I will post it anyway. The Netherlands was one of the first countries to have an elected parliament. Among other affiliations the country is a founding member of the EU, NATO, OECD and WTO. The country is host to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and five international courts: the Permanent Court of Arbitration, the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, the International Criminal Court and the Special Tribunal for Lebanon. The first four are situated in The Hague as is the EU's criminal intelligence agency Europol and judicial co-operation agency Eurojust. This has led to the city being dubbed "the world's legal capital". Netherlands has a capitalist market-based economy, ranking 13th of 157 countries according to the Index of Economic Freedom.[13] In May 2011, the Netherlands was ranked as the 'happiest' country according to results published by The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development.[14] source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netherlands And last but not least this article was not to compare anyone or anythign with the USA. perhaps you need to read the whole thing. And If you have and still don't understand its to compare with the usa Then please don't even read this and move on to sites where they brag about the usa.. You will feel a lot more at home there.
