Snow for the Euros.

[Buster Highmen]

It would be so nice if America could learn from the Euros regarding civil jury trials.

The differences have to do with how the legal systems are set up, and hence are actually cultural in the end, because a country builds legal systems according to their cultural beliefs.

That broad answer being said, many European countries do not hold trials by jury at all, such as the Netherlands for instance. Belgium holds them only for a few well defined crimes such as premeditated murder, kidnapping and freedom of the press lawsuits.

Non jury trials are run by professional judges (not elected) who are far less emotional when it comes to awarding damages and sentencing for other crimes also by the way. In many countries there is a limit defined by law to how much damages can be paid.

And very importantly, health and income loss matters are usually handled by insurance companies, most of which use fixed rates to compute damages awarded. And in many European countries, the loser in a lawsuit pays all lawyers fees, both for themselves and for the losing side. This discourages frivolous lawsuits where plaintiffs sue to see what might happen if they get lucky.

Okay seriously, the hate for Americans is palpable. I’ll never look at that place the same ever again.
Go fuck yerselves you fucking cunts. I hope next year it fucking rains all winter.

Buster is known for scathing self loathing and vendul hates everyone from over the pond.

And I'm actually the leader of an extremist Party who wants to make being American illegal in Europe.

We call ourselves "les Frenchies".

IMHO, Euros tend to be a bit more formal on introduction, but warm up to Americans quickly.
On average, it's more of a personality thing than a nationality thing.
So YMMV.

Agree 100%.
My euro friends tell stories about being in a grocery line and someone they don’t know will talk to them, and it will always be an American.

So, when "across the pond", is it bad form to roll around with my IKON lanyard on the outside and a bottle of hot sauce in is my pocket announcing that all the food is bland?

Admittedly, the waitresses scorn nearly killed me. For that would be Italian

[buttahflake]

If I go, I’m going to Italy, fuck you fucking Nazi sympathizer douche nozzle Austrian/German cunts. We know how much you love purity

[subtle plague]

It gets better and better. I thought the Highlight of my day would be marking 7th grade English Tests.

And Rösti are Swiss [emoji6] They only sympathized with the gold the nazis gave them. But that's another no no in everyday conversation.

You’d be a little surly too if you lived in our dog eat dog Hub of the universe. We got math geniuses vying for janitor positions. It’s competitive. The European mind can’t comprehend this.

I thought the Swiss sympathized with the potatoes from the Incas via the Spaniards.

Yeah and how did that work out for old Benito? Not so good, he was always hated.

They built their whole swiss identity around south American imports. Gold, Cocoa and Potatoes.

And a small girl from a 1980s Japanese cartoon [emoji6]

This thread has gotten popcorn worthy! Ironically, the American mind can’t comprehend personal responsibility through its blinded lust for “rugged individualism”. The ski industry in NA has been absolutely obliterated by private equity and litigation. Don’t pay any attention to those of us without passports who somehow still think our dying empire is the center of the universe. I sincerely hope this triggers the end of ikon Europe era and that i’kont ski crowd disappears. Europe sucks anyways ?
