What's so typical American that Europeans under 30's have adopted? Please, don't say they wear t-shirts or drive cars.

Leeuwen,
I can't quite put my finger on it, but something about your recent posts is starting to seem awfully familiar. The English is improved but still not quite right. The old confrontational, argumentative tone is starting to re-assert itself.
I also noticed that you've only started posting in this forum on a regular basis since March. It started with 2 or 3 posts spaced a month apart and now you're crankin' them out on a daily basis. I'm really hoping it's not what I think it is..... and that you aren't who I (and Marak5) think you are.

Rock, Richard Pryor said the ONLY way you can kill ROACHES is 12D
[b]rock dog[/b], the answer is no. i have never posted under other nick than leeuwen and never bothered to investigate marak5's insinuation. you are damn right my posts are argumentative, but always backed up by facts. posting statements filled with superlatives based on personal perception, with no proof or backup is by definition bullshit. so which way do you want it? bullshit or facts?
my opinion is that inaccuracy must be corrected, or else a chain reaction of obfurep001ion, falsification and myths will lead to a world with no place for the truth. ok, this's pretty deep, but nonetheless true.
leeuwen, rock dog,
i like facts, but i would add that personal perception also plays a role in formulating a final conclusion. thanks for adding a new word to my collection (obfurep001ion…).
ohhhhhh, by the way, i think that the usa (under arbusto, than any real president) is an example… of “chain reaction of obfurep001ion, falsification and myths (leading) to a world with no place for the truth….” however i must add that i have met a number of aw’s who fit that bill very well!

i just saw an aclu commercial promoting women's rights because, as they said "women and girls still arent seen as equal to men and boys." indeed. men and boys always force/coerce women into performing sexual acts upon them. screw the anglocized world. in the uk, a 15 yr old boy had sex with an 11 yr old girl - both minors. the government authorities are trying to figure out how to apply the law in a way to punish this 15 yr old boy. gotta love westernized manginas.

boy, 15, faces [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord123][CodeWord123][/url] charge

a teenage boy has been charged with [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord123][CodeWord123][/url] after it emerged a 11-year-old girl had become pregnant, police have said.
the 15-year-old is scheduled to appear again on july 10 at edinburgh sheriff court having already made a previous appearance, police said.
it emerged that a west lothian girl, now aged 12, is set to break the record for being the uk's youngest mother.
she told a national newspaper she is "really excited" about having a child after losing her virginity at 11 to a boy aged 15 in edinburgh.
the girl, who has not been named, is due to give birth in a few weeks, breaking the record set by jenny teague, of dorset, who was had a baby aged 12 years and nine months in 1997.
a spokesman for west lothian council said: "we are aware of the situation. we are providing support through our social policy and education teams.
"we are working with the family to support the young person to ensure that the child gets the best possible start."
the mother-to-be told the scottish sun newspaper that she hoped the baby would be a boy.
the girl's 34-year-old mother also said she was proud of her daughter.
[QUOTE=Bart9000] Roughly 25 years ago was when the divorce laws changed right? Many children became fatherless because of this including of course girls. Now, unprescedented scores of girls are fucked up in their sexuality (one manifestation is the current bisexuality craze), due to MOLESTATION from sexual predators. Hmmm could it possibly be that that those ever so competent and capable single mommy's aren't quite so able to handle scaring off sexual predators as their former husbands would have been. Would mommy's friend "Uncle Phil" be quite so brazen in diddling his 12 year old "niece" if he knew her father was around and would beat him to death for that sort of transgression?

Bart, child molestation is more likely to be linked to women's penchant for bad boys. Bad boys have no respect for the law. So whether or not a child is of legal age or even consenting is not something they regard as important. If you check out the news, there are women who live with bad boys who molest their daughters, yet deny the fact the entire time. Or look at the number of letters Scott Peterson, Richard Ramirez and the late Ted Bundy got proposing marriage. In fact, I believe that one of the Menendez brothers got married in prison. I believe this is because society has villified masculinity. And women are attracted to masculine men. Overtly women want to quash masculinity by invading every masculine strong hold and feminizing it. For example, invading all male clubs, sports teams and even locker rooms. Once in these environments, women demand that men act more feminine as to not offend the women. So we have an entire society of men who act like women so as not to offend women, but on a purely biological and instinctual level, women want to mate with masculine men. With the lack of real masculine men, women resort to the only alternative they have - Bad boys who are good at emulating masculine traits due to their sociopathic disregard for social norms and laws.

Well......you aren't going to get an argument from me
Used to know this girl.....at 21 she was highly promiscuous (not a bad thing by itself-course she managed to get an std from a local DJ), self destructive, Waaaayyyy into alcoholic abuisive guys who treated her like shit......also, she had a great propensity towards the affectations of childhood (big thing for stuffed animals-this is a sign of sexual abuse)......I was willing, after seeing all this behavior together to believe that she had been molested........never got definitive confirmation, but I found out that she was born when her mother was 18-19.....Mom was a bimbo party girl, and a bartender, and I'm sure that there were all kinds of loser guys through that home throughout the years......finding that scenario, I would have bet good money that little "S"''s cherry got popped around 13 by a 30 year old guy Mom let "sleep it off" at the house while she went to work.....I could be wrong but...

I do not think you are wrong. But I do think the problem is more than just women being attracted to bad boys. I read a magazine article on a similar theme that compared the behavior of step-fathers to biological fathers regarding children. The article quoted research stating that step-fathers were something like **15** times more likely to kill their step-children than biological fathers were to kill their biological children. The article went on to question the wisdom of the new "blended family" that is all the rage now. Women have a child with one bad boy. Divorce him and then hook up with another bad boy, who abuses her child, and then hooks up with a third bad boy who kills her child. (In the Miami area there has been a rash of recent killings of children by their parents/care takers.)
The article didn't address molestation. But if step-fathers are so much more likely to kill step-children, then I am sure they are also much more likely to molest step-children.
I am not particularly conservative, but I do strongly believe that where goes the family so follows society. We all know what has been happening to the family in the past 20 years. I pray for our society.
[QUOTE=Leeuwen]The bare fact that GMO has become mainstream in the U.S while still being highly controversial in EU is proof that the food is not the same. If the food industry can shove GMO down your throat, why wouldn't it be extra generous with fishy preservatives? You don't see the [i]organic food[/i] hype in Europe, but again, it has become way of life among health conscious consumers in America. You think they pay premium for pure joy of spending more money than necessary? I don't.
I explicitly excluded the obvious differences in lifestyle, and emphasized the fact that foreigners gain weight despite keeping the old daily routines, like diet and working out.
Don't see what public transportation has to do with what we discuss. Sitting on a bus is not going to make you slim.
Congratulations, even if I recall someone on this forum reporting from the Czech Republic. His story was exactly the opposite as he claimed he could fool women in the U.S about his age, but not in Europe. Use the search button combined with approperiate terms and you will find the report.[/QUOTE]Food production differs from country to country. A simple example can be found on the ingredients label on a simple bottle of ketchup. The principle sweetener in the USA is high-fructose corn syrup, found in many foods.
When I was in England two summers ago, the label on the bottle of ketchup (at the pub I was eating a burger at) said glucose.
High fructose corn syrup has been in use in the USA since, I think sometime in the last 70's or early 80's, when the food industry here switched from beet sugar and cane sugar. So we've had a whole generation raised on this sweetner. Many in the USA who are now young adults, bathed in it in their mother's womb. Some author's implicate high fructose corn syrup in the rising incidence and earlier onset of diabetes (See for example, the book Lights Out, reviewed on Amazon).
There are many differences in practices between countries. Another example: the use of mercury in dental amalgams, in vaccines, even in contact lens solution. When you buy contact lens solution in Germany, is mercury listed as an ingredient? I'll have to see if I can even find the stuff next time I am in Germany.
I'll comment on the stepfather thing later.
Although I am highly progressive, both socially, and economically (I wish someone would explain the "Marginal Propensity to Consume" to the prick in the Whitehouse....very slowly of course), it amuses me at times to look back at the way that things were done in "the old days", and see what fucked up result has been obtained by discarding it.
Back, I don't know, 60-70 years ago, there used to be a social control on women making a decision to give themselves to the kind of guy (high chaos, womanizing, undependable, shiftless, substance abuser, abusive......), that generally makes their little pussies drip wet......suitors were subject to male aproval in the form of the girl's father....if little Johnny was a dirtbag drunk with problems holding down a job, and a hair temper, Mr. Roarick didn't let him within 50 paces of his little Rebecca.
This is a highly mysoginistic statement, but I think there is a high degree of truth to it..women have been historically denied decision making power, presumably because men ruled due to physical superiority. I'm inclined to contend that they were denied the ability to make decisions because they aren't generally very good at it.....making them on the basis of FEELINGS instead of logic and reason.

These are some (edited) thoughts that I wrote on another discussion board.
I can see that women's brains are fundamentally different from those of men. Women in China seem to be weird in the exact same ways that women in all other countries are. These thoughts came up in a moment of clarity AFTER some of my female students could not believe a statement that I made to the effect of: "If there is some man that is not doing it for you, JUST FIND SOMEONE ELSE. They are fundamentally all the same."
It seems like women want to be wanted after they are MUCH past their prime. So, if you are a man who wants to get his freak on, you'll get it on a lot faster with an older married woman than you will a young girl (say, 22 or 23). What is it that changes in women's minds such that they seem to want to be sought after MORE at a much later age? (I have talked to many women who will actually go to a gay bar to dance so that they will not be hit on. Or a woman give her number to some guy just to have the experience of being sought after-- but who would never really consider the guy.) To me it seems like if you wanted to have all the sex you could get, you would do it while you were younger and able to get the most men. But it doesn't work that way.
Why do women so consistently choose bad men? How many times have I seen some woman pass over dozens of other men to find someone who will only half go to work or will beat her ass on a regular basis? Or has lots of other women or is neglectful? (I remember a conversation with a birdbrain about a girl who had a boyfriend that she said didn't love her-- but who she wanted to try to sway, because she wanted a "challenge." Huh? Huh? Huh?) This seems to be the same way/ equally common in China as in the USA-- and it makes even less sense here since women actually pass over MORE men to choose someone that is bad.
Why is it that women don't say: "Ok, subject to some minimal constraints regarding race/ height/ appearance, they are all the same. One will do pretty much the same as another"? Relationships ALL seem to take the same direction over the longer term-- so it follows to me that you could choose any person and it would be the same result if you chose any one person over another. Most girls don't seem to see it this way. I don't get it.
Good Day, Young Padawans! Clandestine gave the answer probably without realising it. Women want a CHALLENGE. I've heard similar scenarios from many men in conversation and online. I was reading maerial from Doc Love and he stated this EMPHATICALLY.
The following male traits are what makes a woman choose one man over another and STAY with him.
Self-Confidence, Self-Esteem, Discipline, Patience, Self-Control, and CHALLENGE.
A few years ago I read his material cover to cover and it made so much sense then and still does NOW. Back to the trait of "Challenge", think about it: you treasure something you've fought for and EARNED more so than you do something that was given to you FREE OF CHARGE without effort. PLUS women are of the mindset that if it's easy to get, then it's not worth having. I know it sounds fucked up to any upstanding guy who'd make a great husband and father, but how else are you gonna survive in the game?
Consider these words, Young Padawans....
The reason why I feel Europe tends to have a lower standard of living than the US mostly has to do with my interactions with European women on the continent, rarely have I had my wallet emptied quickly with a European woman as what happens when in the company of your average American lady. She doesn't seem to expect as much and often it takes a much smaller amount of effort to impress her. That's part of the problem with a lot of American women, they are used to a very plush standard of living and used to getting what they want. This is not the case with many European women.
