    Here are some things I came up with

    USA
    Pros-Very Diverse, Great Educational system stereotyped to be bad because of only the southern states.
    great cultural influence, good access to commercial products and great paying slaries are easily obtainable as long as you work for them.
    Many different states and territories to visit with no Passport required
    Very convenient system of visiting other Countries
    Cons-Corrupt government thanks to a history.
    If you are a Male, you are likely to be circumcised, and missing a very important part of your...
    Obesity epidemic, even though it is only in the southern states.
    Alot of the majority(white) population tends to be sheep for republicans, opposing things like free college, healthcare, ect, thanks to political nonsense like fox news.

    That is just a few!

    Europe
    Pros-Diverse as-well, depending where you are.
    Great laid back lifestyle, especially in France or Spain.
    Socialist policies like in Sweden and Finland make life alot easier to enjoy
    uncircumcised (not mutilated) males
    Cons-Foolish fear over immigration (if you dont want immigrants, then blame your ancestors for colonizing the world to make their kings richer)
    European Union..do I need to say much here?
    Racist Spanish football team.
    Women tend to be rather hairy in their private areas, but hey that is natural aint it?
    Greece always needs a bailout by the EU.

    That is just a few! I know alot about the world so if you need to clarify or edit something feel free to ask!

    Personally Id prefer Europe, but the US isnt so bad depending on what state you are in!
    Plus it is my home.
    So why compare the US to a continent? Because the US is basically 50 countries under one federal government. 2 States are COMPLETELY different from eachother, a Few US states are more populated and larger than some countries in Europe.
    EX; You can fit Spain or France into Texas.
    So that is why the US can be compared to a continent
    I guess it depends on if you prefer a capitalist or socialist lifestyle, aka USA vs Europe

    dis thread. all of my lols.

    Honestly this should just be locked. All it's gonna do is spur your typical, "GUISE AMERICANS ARE SO FAT AND STOOPID," controversy.

    e: I will say that I love my country. I'm completely neutral in terms of politics because I couldn't care less. All politicians are greedy and corrupt anyway. I will say that I don't like living where I am right now (Pennsylvania) but I would love to move south.

    Immigration; because we need to be punished for the sins of the ruling elites from centuries ago.

    Your whole post is like someone whose only understanding of the world comes from pop culture parody.

    Yeah, today's ruling elites are so much better at sinning!

    Seriously, though, I can't see anything coming from this thread other than either a flame war, a series of mockeries of the premise of the thread, or both.

    Why is being very diverse a pro? That's more of a con because they can often spread diseases. Also as a southerner, I always stay vaccinated so i don't get obesity because of this epidemic down here. :/ (this thread is fucking stupid.)

    You realize your offending anyone that's in/was in the southern education of America right *cough* me *cough* and I'm quite intelligent as is.

    I know a lot about particle physics and chemistry, philosophy, logic, and more.

    This

    You all fail to realize that a lot of use do live in the USA, granted I could like the country more (and I live in it!) but offending the people is going to far, so what if I said that:

    (I do not mean this just an example, also I do not believe this. This is said if I was a vegan (Which I'm nothing close to)) people that like meat/fish foods are nasty and dislike/hate animals, and are also ignorant and gross for eating animal products

    hmm, that's offensive to a good amount of people, isn't it?

    And you are doing the exact same thing to people on this forum by saying nasty things about generalized stereotypes in certain regions that have people there that are on this here forum *cough* me *cough*. And yes, I may not like everyone in my region, but just saying nasty things about people like that that might not even have those properties is stupid.

    I live in Texas and I was born in Texas, and guess what? I am 1. Intelligent and interested in many of the sciences, 2. Well, skilled at computer games, 3. Non-athletic, 4. A negative atheist, 5. democratic.

    That basically beats all the stereotype crap you just said about me away, and there are many, many other people that do not have the stereotypical properties that you said.

    Next time think about the fact that some things you think about a region may be false and to not just follow stereotypical things, you my offend a lot of people who don't even follow your description of what they apparently are *cough* me *cough*.

    This is not to dual_chiecken but to the people who said these things unthinkingly, seriously take into account what I said in this post before you say something offensive on a global forum.

    @FuzzyBlueBaron my friend, can you please lock this thread so it won't become a flame war? I dislike all this offensiveness about stereotypes in regions, it's not right, you know it's not right.

    You all should know it's not right.

    Sorry guys, I really cant see this being a productive discussion, especially given how it's gone so far.

    Interesting that those are the only two options you consider as well, but whatever.
