ORIGINAL: jlf1961 Now, looking at Europe, I see a continent where there is one centralized government that is basically replacing national governments, leaning heavily toward a socialist system where people's freedoms are lost to benefit the whole. Which freedoms in particular are you referring to? Perhaps you might be referring to those unique American 'freedoms such as: * The freedom to die an early death because of inadequate health care systems; or * The freedom to become a casualty of the US's addiction to guns and gun violence. No doubt there are millions of Europeans crying themselves to sleep each and every night as they contemplate their horrible freedom to access quality healthcare and to be protected from gunslinging morons acting out their juvenile fantasies. The absence of mass movements of Europeans out on the streets demanding such basic freedoms from their tyrannical governments is inexplicable isn't it?. It must be a continent of apathy or something ............ You are far more likely to die as a tourest due to violence in Mexico, or any one of the central and south american countries, and yes, they will probably use a gun if they are in a hurry, other techniques are machete, setting the victim on fire, beheading and flat out torture. Per capita, gun violence is higher in Mexico and Columbia due to drug cartel activities, but, by all means continue this bullshit about it being a purely American problem. And please, continue to make the asinine claim that if guns were illegal the problem would go away, it has worked wonders in Mexico and Columbia, I mean you cant just go down some street and pick up a full auto ak... oh wait, yes you can. Now as far as health care goes, how many budget cuts has socialized medicine seen in Europe due to austerity measures if you are afraid of getting shot in the US, by all means stay away. You could go to Egypt and get blasted by their military.
