Okay. So there's what, 25 countries in the EU, I think. 4 don't use the Euro. That leaves 21 countries you can travel through that all have the same currency. I think that's still pretty good. (They started out with 11 countries that could use the Euro, so I guess it got better somehow.)
Unless the info on the EU site is wrong (ho hum)

Oh, AND we can understand Americans but they don't understand us most of the time![]()
that's because most of europe watches american movies and hears american accents all the time. Normal American's only hear chinese, mexican/south american, middle eastern, and indian accents very much on a regualar basis...
Urgh. Tried that before and the post was lost I think! Sorry if it's going to be there twice.
I think you're wrong there, at least Germany has American movies dubbed so we're not that used to the accent. Maybe from music on the radio, but apart from that, no...
But actually I was saying that most Europeans speak English (or Russian if they were in school during the cold war) to some degree, and lots of European countries aim at teaching students at least 2 foreign languages, which I do think is a big advantage. Yes, most Americans and Brits get along well in the rest of Europe because everyone speaks their language, but still... being able to speak foreign languages is cool, and people are much nicer in lots of countries when you actually try ordering your food / buying your stamps etc in their language!
Understanding foreigners speaking your own language is not what I meantAmericans usually don't have a problem understanding me when I speak English.

Well if you like a quiet place to live you will love Europe! You are basically giving up your freedom of speech; yes Europe is better than the US!
Man what an outrageous thing to put in a constitution!
In my opinion that is the exact same thing as telling people what to think, what to act, what to do.

And if any of you disagree with me on this then you would be in violation of that constitution because I would feel discriminated against over my opinion! Ohh perhaps ratifying that constitution could be a good thing, and then I travel to Europe and sue the tar out of the people that discriminate against me because of birth and national minority! Walk around with a pro-Bush t-shirt and a rake for all the cash I could make. See there is a positive way to look at everything, however selfish!

However the freedom that an Imam has to condemn homosexuality will be removed...

Dom I strongly disagree with your first post.
The proposed constitution does in deed remove freedom of speech and religion. Discrimination can and has been viewed as rejection to an organization based on the applicants sex, age, race, nationality, religion, sexual orientation.
A religious group who refuses the membership of a homosexual because the fact that they are homosexual would be in violation of that proposed constitution. Now when that happens what will the government do? Not allow the religion to practice? Tell them to change their views? Now you have government removing someone’s freedom of religion.

This line does not say that freedom of speech is outlawed - anybody can hold and talk about an opinion as long as it does not incite hatred or violence.

lightning, I feel that you need to go to Germany and speak to some Germans before condemning their treatment of Nazis. Those people are carrying around a lot of baggage - and I think they need laws like that to help them deal with cultural fallout of the holocaust.
