Inspired by another thread, I challenged myself to see if I could come up with what's wrong with europe, and realized europe not is that perfect.
Many politicans and corporates are corrupted here. It's plenty of cases, look at Italy, where the ruling party was funded with aid from the scilly mafia, or France, where presidents have been caught taking money from oil companies. Not to mention Iceland, the nation that went bankrupt, with the aid from greedy politicans and stock traders in London and Den Haag.
Almost half of the money that runs through the european economy have been in the hands of the russian, alban and italian mafias. They make money on human trafficking, drugs, weapons, fake products, illegal waste and so on. The mafias also controll prostitution and drugs where it's legal, that's the real reason the goverment want to shut down red light disctrict and cofee shops in amsterdam. Getting a decent job in Italy, without getting in touch with mafias is hard. The criminal systems are everywhere, and it's not cool like in Godfather, just ugly, limiting and greedy.
Racism is emberassing, people fear Islam, and switzerland try to ban minarets. Europe, unlike the US, don't have a glue on how to include immigrants into the societies. Immigrants from north africa are put into slavery around the midterrean countries. It was in europe holocaust happened. It was europeans who traveled to america and killed indians.
The last thing about europe, is the old history. Europe reminds me of a teared down place, tired of all the conflicts, empires, religions and wars that have ruled the continent. All that is left in europe, is the myth of ancient nations, even if most, if not all nations emerged just a couple of centuries ago. And that myth is showing cracks nowdays, rendering europe even more wrecked.
All we got left, is a free press and health care.
I want to move!
To some people, politics is very important but right now it me, it's not
I'm sure its worthy experience. Well... I prefer to live in my country. :P
