You need to come and spend time on the ground here in Europe, with actual Europeans then maybe you can make equally stunning comments.
Quite a few FR readers are not entirely able to quit their jobs on a lark and go visit the EU just to see what's happening. It might be useful to read opinions of FR members who are already there and know the situation firsthand. The classical "Your wrong!" answer is not sufficiently informative :-)
