We were not talking about differences in "philosophy" when I made that comment. An opinion was voiced in this thread that the European citizens "hate the guts" of the Americans...and I argued that this just isn't so. Any animosity between the European citizens and us has to do with our respective governments...and not the citizens at large. We may laugh at a European nation for the president that they elect, and they might act likewise towards us...but there is no real "hatred" going back and forth either way.
Yes...there are obvious differences between the different nations. They speak different languages...and they may even believe in different Gods. But life is difficult for all of us...and we have more in common than what we differ on.
