Hey man, American beer has NOTHING on European beer
Have you ever been to Belgium or Germany? The best beer in the world matey…and are you saying European people are less free than Americans???
With regards to the shaved armpits thing…european girls do shave. I think a few mediterranean women don’t however.
And i’m not even gonna go there with guns :-)[/quote]
Actually European beer has nothing on Australian beer but we could argue that until the cows come home, and yes I am absolutely saying that Europeans are less free than Americans. And that’s pathetic because Americans aren’t all that free. Ask a Brit who not only isn’t allowed to carry a gun, but also can be jailed for carying a pocketknife. Ask a muslim in Paris who is denied their right to wear a stupid Burkha in school. Ask a German who is required to inform the gov’t when they move for more than two weeks or the cops show up at their door looking for them.
And I aboslutely will go there with the gun thing. A gov’t that denies your right to self defense, denies your most basic right of self preservation, your very right to exist.

Don’t sweat it though, us Americans will be right there with you guys in a decade or two.
