Entry: What's your view? Aug 31, 2004



I've just been reading something on the internet, an American girl said that she thought that one day Europe would come together as one big country like America, with all the different countries becoming the states. What do you think about that?

I don't really think it'll ever happen to be honest. In America everyone there has the same culture and values, whereas in Europe there are so many different cultures and languages that I think that would be a barrier to stop us ever becoming united as one country. I don't think that Europe would ever want to become one big country because there are too many governments here who'd be fighting over who got power.

I mean anyone who's been to Europe you may understand what I mean. If you got to, say, Italy, you can see quite clearly that everyone there is so much different to English people or French people, just like English people are different to French people, German people are different to Spanish people etc etc.

What does anyone else think?

NOT everyone in America has the same culture and values. Wea re as diverse as any other conitent is. Ask other Americans on Blogdrive, they will say the same. :)

I think you are right.

Furthermore, I don't like that Europe they are constructing.

No use to say, I respect Andy's choice to go back to Pounds Shilling and Pence and village policeman.

I think it's what Dubya and Tony are aiming for...Europe becomes Sovietised. Scary, scary stuff...

Exactly, although states in America have their own laws, etc, they are nowhere near as different to each other as European countires are.
Besides, there are probably too many rivalries between various countries for them to all join together

Europe has gone far enough. I'd always be against any further integration, and with the recent addition of the new European states, if we joined as a federal europe, it would be a retrograde step for the UK.

I also want to go back to Pounds Shillings and Pence, and village policeman.
