in response to reader comment: America vs Europe? The basic difference.
Submitted by Erik Patch (United States), Jul 29, 2009 at 12:33
... Europe was severly damage during ww2 yet, U.S. was far enough way from Germany that it wasnt even touched except by Japan. Go live in paradise their knowing you dont have any major advanced country. Latin america is 3rd world and canada is developing. Yeah you have it easy ... And i dont hate the U.S. ...
