Is Europe Democratic by nature?

[Ban my account ffs!]

While in some respects Europe is more liberal than the U.S., the U.S. is more liberal in many aspects.  The U.S. is quite liberal when it comes to abortion laws and its separation of church and state.

As far as business is concerned, we are much more liberal in the classical sense.  Stores can be open late here and yes, you might have to work or go to school on St. Obscure day.

We can buy tums and tylenol in gas stations or at any store, while in Germany you have to go specifically to a pharmacy and ask the pharmacist to get them for you.

And despite our racial problems, much of America is much more open minded when it comes to issues of race and religion.

Sure, it's not really an easy process, but pretty much anybody can become an American citizen simply because they want to be.  Try becoming a German citizen.  Try becoming a Japanese citizen.

What makes you an American and what makes you a German are two very very different things at the most fundamental level.  Blood never has and never will make you an American.  Something else bonds us together, for better or for worse.
