Re: There is a reason why Europe lost its edge long ago.....unbridled cynicism coupled with insipid arrogance were part of the package that made it happen.

Maybe... but Europe kept its edge for about 350 years (from 1600 to 1950) whereas the US has hugged History's limelight for a mere 60 years (1950-2010).

Re: To think at one time, you guys were explorers. No longer......the best you can do is hang out, riot at futbol games and be Euro trash.

LOL... Likewise, to think that once, you guys fancied yourselves as better and morally superior to the degenerated Europeans... but just look at the mess: Reichstag-9/11, a grotesque, if monstrous, replica of the Nazis' grab of power in 1933(*), followed by a pathetic, bloody, slide into the Iraq quagmire --only to widen the mess to Iran... while, back at home, white kids forbid their black fellow classmates from huddling under the same shade-tree! Yet you fancy yourselves as God's chosen freaks! Bent upon lecturing the world's benighted peoples on the charms of US civilization?!? Go figure, huh?
