America's* Literacy rate (link[^]): 99% Spain's literacy rate (link[^]): 97.9% so Spain is about twice as illiterate as the United States. Not only that, but they elected communists in order to appease Al Qaeda. What a bunch of wussies. *Note that this figure has been adjusted to only include the United States.

Ha ha. Yeah so free. You cant drink alcohol in parks and on beaches. You cant smoke dope legally. You cant buy drink in a mac donalds. Your women cant go topless on any beach they want. You have 11 holidays a year, as opposed to 22 here, plus a couple of weeks if your wife gives birth. We have free health care, and it is good. We can drive at 85 mph in France, unlimited in a lot of germany. Free? You dont know the meaning of free. Nunc est bibendum
We have the freedom to allow all that if we wished. However, not being a civilization in decline, we choose not to.

This is such crap. In all these stats, like US per capita GDP, the 10 million or so illegal imigrants are not considered. Nunc est bibendum

They're not Americans. The 10 million or so illegal immigrants from the Middle East aren't counted in Spain either.

OK, I'll spell it out for you. child birth rate != frequency or quality of sex In fact, having kids gets in the way of sex for pleasure. Nunc est bibendum
Actually in a separate poll (which I don't have handy), the US actually lead the world in an international poll for both quality and quantity of sex. So I guess your assumptions are wrong.

You must be an arrogant asshole to tell that to an American, being from the UK yourself. In the UK you have "knife amnesites", and will put anyone in jail for 4 years for having a pocket knife. In the UK your police arrest young children of making "racist" remarks. The police in the UK can do pretty much whatever they like if they label someone a "terrorist". Wheras Americans have the right to free speech, the right to be armed (which i am), the right against unreasonable searches and confiscations by the police (but the police do violate this one sometimes).

Well, I suppose some people have standards so low they are easially satisfied. Nunc est bibendum
American women also came out on top as the most beautiful in the world.

Judging by the rate all the crazy evangelicals are growing, you'll soon be as civilized as any other theocracy. And you know what? Catholics are looked down upon by them. You're catholic, right? I seem to vaguely remember that you admitted to that. Some of the evangelicals will so far as to say that the pope is antichrist. Good luck being... civilized. :)

I've seen statistics that basically says that the poorer people are, the more kids they produce.

Spanish men also don't know how to please a woman. The average woman in the US has 2.09 children and in Spain they only have 1.28. Perhaps that chauvinism is masking something deeper.

Ummm, I'm gonna go ahead and point out the subtle comedy... "Spanish men also don't know how to please a woman" followed by "Perhaps that chauvinism is masking something deeper"... Like a french boyfriend with a big wanker...

Except that they live in the US, contribute to the economy, and would get the green card if they could. There would have to be 2.5 million illegal imigrants in spain to get anywhere near the percentage the US has. Go dig up some figures. Nunc est bibendum

Interesting that somehow so many Indians and Asians got here legally, but you seem to think that the illegals are incapable of that. Stand rigid for the next battle Peace means reloading your guns The love for life is all hatred in disguise - Dimmu Borgir

It is. And dont state the obvious; 'it comes out of taxation; of course it fucking does. To a non, or very low yax payer it is free. Nunc est bibendum

If we are, then it's because we have the freedom to be that way. Europe does not have that freedom. Where we see freedom as the ability to control our collective destiny, you see freedom as the general restriction to do that. That is the first indication of a society in decline.

You're proud of that? :confused:

On the other hand, the american spelling for similar words is smarter, because it conveys the actual pronounciation better than the british counterparts. Definately more foreigner friendly. ;)

Oh yes, I forgot, carying a gun makes you so free.
