WTF? Never in my life I have heard anything more ignorant and offensive. It is incredible how many Americans in this discussion talks about Europeans like we were some kind of a nation. Europe is multicultural - there is nothing like 'we' Europeans - there is a bigger diference between France and Estonia than between France and USA. Talking about 'lazy Europeans' is about as meaningful as talking about lazy Americans 'cos I went to Argentina and they did not work too much overthere.' >>>And, the fact that the jews aren’t in Europe anymore is one that, personally, isn’t one that Europe should be proud of.

If anyone looks at their own social graph, they’ll notice that most of their contacts share similar likes, values, and social groups. People tend to stick to those with whom they have things in common, it is just natural. A friend told me once, “Yes you have everything you want on the internet, but do you ever explore beyond your own tiny and narrow sphere?”. And even these uber-social media users do not escape this, the most striking example being their American self centrism (my favourite one being Michael Arrington’s comment on Europeans entrepreneurs).
