Hey Europeans!

[porterjack]

Some countries are more enthusiastic about the EU because of the benefits to their weaker economies ect so that's probably part of it, Great Britain is one of the strongest European countries. I do think being an Island nation seperated by water from mainland Europe along with the hostilities by some to those "funny, bloody foreigners" might also be something to do with it. Brits on average seem much more agreeable to American culture slipping into our culture than anything from another European country with the noticable exception of Ireland and even then, we dont seem to be as hell bent on proving we're Irish because our great - great granddad was, like the Americans seem to be.

We're being held back? In what way? Last time I looked it was the USA who still hadn't got the joke called religion.

Well for us, it's about what Britain gets out of it. Seeing we're one of the strongest nations in the EU and we already have strong trade links to the US, I doubt there is any other way we could benefit that much more from it.

Pretty much, it's embarrassing how most foreigners over here seem to be able to speak English yet when we are in Europe, it's the British way to expect everyone to understand English and on the odd occasion that they dont, we seem to think they will if we shout at them.
