Europe cares about its people so much it takes away their ability to defend themselves and lets them slowly poison themselves with drugs.

So humanitarian. Clearly they are the ethical masters of the world and we must all march in lockstep.

In a civilised world you dont need to defend yourself. Europe is civilised - America not.

Heroin addicts killing children, so civilized. Africa isn't civilized either probably, the Middle East? No , they're just savages. This Western-Europe Centrism is effing stupid. Criminals have AK-47s in Marseilles, Hungarian politicians refuse to admit refugees based on religion violating international law, Swedish doctors use eugenics on ethnic minorities , Poland lets people get tortured in its borders by the CIA, Ukraine supports Neo-Nazi death squads. So civilized. You'd probably argue that Europeans are more trustworthy with guns too, more than the savage Africans. Let's see what the Europeans did with firearms: Feudal attacks on each other for hundreds of years
Africa: Repelling the Mongols at the Battle of Ain Jalut.
Let's see your Roman Empire, your role model. Killing and enslaving hundreds of thousands and creating a corrupt, autocratic empire. Civilized? Hardly. Athens, your other role model, slaughtering a entire city because they didn't want to join in a war against Sparta. So civilized.

In a civilised world you dont need to defend yourself. Europe is civilised - America not.

lol the truth comes out. Europe still believes in cultural imperialism folks. Go colonize Africa again you dirty supremacists.

Ah, so I can't understand since I'm an uncivilized barbarian. Good to know.

I hope some enlightened Europeans save us one day.

Jai must just be a savage child, where's a Brit? You have to take his rights away and tax him. Make sure you draft him and make him a soldier, though he's against that since it's his religion, just voodoo superstition right? Make sure those gun powder papers are coated with cow fat too, he's just a stupid savage , he won't notice. Oh and make sure you sell opium to Chinese markets , and then attack China when they complain.

It hurts my eyes to read what you said major, please make some spaces in your text, it's unreadable on it's actual form.

Plus, have you ever went to marseilles? It's not like there's criminals in the streets with ak-47s in every corner lol.

Europe is way safer then America, just go check homicide and robery rates, will you?

lol the truth comes out. Europe still believes in cultural imperialism folks. Go colonize Africa again you dirty supremacists.

That's an unfair and, I'll be honest, dumb analysis of the quote. Plus Europe, and America btw, still colonize a lot of countries in the world;

Might as well ban water for being the major cause of drowning. And food for being the major cause of diarrheia.

I can't believe people are actually defending such stupidity. Is Scotland trying to appeal to the scandis and build a welfare state they can't afford to while enacting lame laws such as regulating peeing while standing for being sexist?

The EU has a violent crime rate a third higher than America.

You are no more barbaric than me or Jai or Eklipse.

@TeamGuns - It was satirical. The point is that you can't rant and argue against ethnic nationalism and then believe that Europeans are somehow more advanced/intelligent/better/superior to Americans or any other continent/country just because they have certain laws. That's literally the definition of cultural imperialism, and you trying to deflect upon that truth reveals to a certain extent why the hubris of Europe will be its downfall (its already begun).

The EU has a violent crime rate a third higher than America.

In the US there were 4.8 murders per 100,000 people. That's the lowest murder rate since 1995, when there were 8.1 murders per 100,000 people. Murder rates have almost been cut in half.
However, how does that 4.8 figure compare to Europe? It's abysmal, the US far, far outstrips most of these countries in terms of murder rate. Italy? 0.9. Portugal? 1.2. France? 1.1. This is despite the fact that the United States has long had more people in prison per capita than any other nation. (In fact, the Nethrlands is closing prisons due to lack of criminals). If yu were to start digging into this problem, you'd be shocked at how different approaches to crime can lead to startlingly different outcomes...

Actually read it before crying.

^^+1

I was just about to go dig those stats, they're so obviously worst in america, I thought that everyone knew that lol.

@Jai, I never said that europeans were more advanced then americans in any way, read my comment will you? But after reading what you americans are saying, I'm starting to believe they are.

Calling yourselves more civilized is pretty much a euphemism for cultural superiority. That's why colonial imperialists in the 1800s often said they wanted to go forth and conquer the non-Christian regions of the world to "civilize" them. Don't mask your belief in European Supremacy with clever wordplay and deflection. You've already made your hole.

You've earned yourself a beer.

Major, a blog from a libertarian American this is your only source?

For criminal rates being higher in the EU then in the US, go after the data, don't read articles, those are most of the time parcial to one or another site.

http://www.numbeo.com/crime/rankings_by_country.jsp

US #42

Italy #55
Belgium #57
France #59
UK #62
Greece #74
Luxembourg #82
Portugal #83
Slovakia #85
Germany #86
Spain #90
Poland #92
Croatia #99
Finland #101

I didn't bother checking all the countries in the EU that were after the US, but I checked for those ahead of it, I didn't found any. Now, unless you're very bad at maths, the average of crime rates of the union will be smaller then the rate in the US.

I'm done. The facts were just presented and are undeniable and your response is to not actually read it and instead complain that the person isn't a European Socialist that loves the government.

Violent crime is classified differently in Europe and the US.

From the article measuring violent crime per 100,000 people. The classification is made the same of course.

European Socialist that loves the government.

Major the Libertarian getting angry ahah relax I was just teasing you. But more seriously your source is not valid as blogs are often biased (since blogs are most of the time places were people give their own opinions so no objective facts and reasoning).
