I don’t understand why my country is perceived as Anti-European by the French. This makes me really sad. I love Europe, in fact. German cars, French kisses, English tea, Hungarian salami, what a rich continent we have. And it could be even prettier and more prosperous if they abolished the euro, scrapped the acquis communautaire, and carpet-bombed Brussels.
@Pavel I think you answered your own question right there …
step21, you obviously did not perceive Czech humor in Pavel’s comment. This kind of jokes is why Nazis called us “the laughing beasts” (die laechendliche Bestie).

Speaking as a European, #1 is a lot like “How English people see the way France/Germany/USA sees Europe”. Joan of Arc and Enigma Code are the clues.
@ “4. Market Everything…”
It looks like the Credit Card Act isn’t necessarily doing what it’s supposed to be, or rather it’s creating a new black market of cosigners for teens: http://lawblog.legalmatch.com/2010/02/25/under-21-and-want-a-credit-card-better-get-mommys-permission-first/
