IIRC it was last year (2008) that a judge in Italy ruled it legally acceptable for a wife to lie to the police to cover up adultery. I believe the police had to pay damages or something due to her adultery being revealed and ending her marriage.
I mean "nice european girl" is a fallacy. All the advertising on TV I see from the US uses Europe as an advertisement piece. I mean those BS high-definition sunglasses with 'modern european styling'... I'm sorry, I don't know a single European to wear anything that even looks like it and most wouldn't be seen dead in them. Then there's all the crap named 'Europe's finest', I'm sorry my fruit when I still lived in Europe came from South America!
There's this widely held perception in the US that European = Good, or at least thats what the advertisements explicitly state. It's a completely false perception.
The only problem with Americans is problems Americans caused. I mean the mere fact that Ayn Rand is universally known in the USA, and I'd never heard of her until I took a sociology course and she was highlighted in the US politics section and I believe my sociology teacher said "where america went wrong" after mentioning her politics.
