@SnickleFritz79 Well...you guys have Hollywood and fast food to be obsessed with, while Europe has its royal families. For us, its an old tradition that unites us as people, as a nation, based purely on our common history and old traditions that goes back thousands and thousands of years before US was even "discovered". This is not a "power insitution", and they are NOT celebrities, this is a cultural and historical institution, a national symbol, something that brings us together as a people.

@SnickleFritz79 Haha that IS hilarious. If European people are lazy people with lousy work ethics then explain why Western European countries are so rich (at the moment they are better off than the US economy in many ways), and explain how the European states can give all this welfare to the population if there are no people working to create the large tax revenues that are used to pay all this? Where do our government get the money from? And the Bible is against killing (death penalty and guns)

Just want to clarify that SnickleFritz79 does not represent all Americans. Also how did a wedding video turn into a fight about which country's citizens work more? Anyway I love this couple! Mary and Frederik are so in love and their wedding was absolutely gorgeous! :)

Wow, I missed the Queen's blowing a kiss to the couple. That was quite refreshing. I really like how affectionate the Danish royal family seems.

@pink91ilg I was merely using the country of France as an example. The French work between 32 to 35 hours a week which is considerably less than other countries in the Western world. I do not claim to know the labor laws in other European countries. However, it is a well known fact that the French works less than a typical American does.

@SnickleFritz79

sorry, but you might want to explain what europe you are talking about and where exactly is this europe you think you know everything about?? it's certainly not the europe I know...because in this europe we work 40 h weeks as well ;)

[SnickleFritz79]

@chichiflix1 Nobody works in Europe. They are lazy peiople with a lousy work ethic. Whereas the typical American works a 40+ hour worl week, those in France are lucky to work a 35 hour work week, if that. Add to that a 2 hour lunch break every day and we are talking major slackers. I hate socialism with all of its might nor is it the government's duty to provide healthcare to people.

Gay people cannot marry because they are not God;s children. They break the law by committing sodomy.

@SnickleFritz79 Europeans are not" taken care of by the state", they work to gain what they receive but make sure that the wealth is distributed so that we can live in harmony. That doesn't take away our personal freedom. When you talk about personal freedom its about being able to earn 70% moer than your neighbour or having right to carry guns. In Europe we ask: how come personal freedom doesn't include a gay couple who want to marry? Or the woman who wants an abortion? Its her body, isn't it?

@chichiflix1 I am one of those people who does believe that the US Constitution should be obeyed word for word. When James Madison wrote the Bill of Rights in 1787, he envisioned an America that wasn't entangled in foreign alliances, one with absolute and complete freedom if speech, press, religion, and to bear arms. Americans demand limited government. Unlike Europeans who want their government to take care of them through welfare, Americans believe that it is violating our personal liberties.
