Hardly surprising coming from a nation where a third of you think dogs can get autism and about half can't read good
The difference between the US and Europe in this regard is that Europeans are a bit more discreet with their crazy people. EU have 3 times the population as the United States does, obviously they’re gonna have ~3 times more crazy people than we do. They just don’t talk much about it, while, in the US, the crazy people refuse to shut the fuck up
Edit: I mistakingly used EU instead of Europe when referring to a population of around 750 million. The EU does not have that population, but Europe, generally speaking, it does. That was my mistake.
Edit: yikes, a lot of crazy people disagree with me
EU ~450 million, US ~350 million
We also don't math too gooder.
I feel like people are just doing this now to annoy the person who commented on that one comment
IDK. I was just admitting we are a nation of idiots.
I was thinking of the population of all of Europe, not just the EU. And I tend to use Europe and EU interchangeably. I probably shouldn’t do that.
Not your fault. Both are valid abbreviations for each other. Only E.U. would actually be concrete, but...
Saying the EU should be the European Union. Whereas just EU should signify Europe as you wouldnt say the Europe.
The context here made it obvious you meant Europe though, dont know how people missed that.
I assumed OP either did a typo or wasn't a native English speaker
I have not encountered anyone referring to geographical Europe as "EU" before, that would be confusing!
I think the EU is a beautiful thing, and sometimes I forget that not all of Europe agrees with me.
