You'd have a point... if anyone had made a value judgement of the EU's internal freedom or called the American system "superior." Try to read what you're talking about before you try to get all indignant and self-righteous. My explanation was a rationale for why things are different in the EU than within the U.S., not an indictment of such.SolkaTruesilver wrote:Edit: but making a jugement call on EU's smaller freedom of movement, and comparing the superiority of your american system is callous and arrogant, at the very best. Europe has about 2 millenia of internal conflicts and their respective government structure and culture to forget while trying to allow the current union. I'd think the whole endeavour is quite more ambitious than uniting a group of states that were coming out of their teenage rebellious stride.
If, as it seems, your are unable or unwilling to actually find out what someone says before commenting on it, then don't comment at all.
