Then again the ignorant europeans who keep using the term "Ugly
American" without understanding the literary reference are cute as
well.

There are precious few Americans who understand the reference, either.

How well do Europeans understand 'Euro trash'?

Isn't that the term Americans use for Europeans when they are jealous of the
superior lifestyle in the Old World?

Yeah, like Mad Cow Disease, foot in mouth disease, high unemployment
and high taxes.

Which brings us back to ignorant Americans (my aplogies for the
redundancy).

Once again another opinion voiced as if
it had more clout behind it than a single voice.

My opinions are voiced as my opinions, do I have a political
party in my sig file instead of my name or something?

Her mind's gone ? I'm behind the times.

I understand she has Alzheimers or something similar.

Then again, I only found out an
hour ago, that Arnie Schwar[fill in some random consonants here]er got
elected governor of California !!

Glad to see i'm not the only one who cant get past Schw....
I now have a spice jar (ground mace) out of the cupboard, so its

Alas! Those are the only Europeans left who _have_ money, since it's
impossible to become rich by earning it in Europe today.

The way to become rich is to start a business, you can also
become relatively rich by working in the financial sector as an
employee.

You said "There are no rich Europeans ..." Even one person in 200
is a long way from "no rich Europeans".

There are no rich Europeans earning their own money. It's possible that
my standard of wealth is different from that of Merill Lynch.

or your just making it up as you go along.

It's possible that you are an ignorant American that wasn't rich
enough to buy yourself a clue. I only know of people who work hard
for their money around here. Why am I even trying to reason with a
frustrated retard like you?

Care to educate us as to what the literary usage implies?

Please! Until I joined this group I had never heard the term and
I have never heard a European use it. What does it refer to?

Exactly, only 'murcans use it in my experience.

If the human brain were simple enough that we could understand it, we would
be so simple that we couldn't.

Jenn,
Thankyou very much. Now I know what it's all about, rather than having to
guess all the time.
