| Hedra42 said: To put this into context with your comments on the EU - the EU is not one big country, it is a union of distinct countries which have distinct identities, and histories involving war and atrocities against one another over thousands of years, but have been able to learn from the past and work together peacefully. The EU may be striving for an even closer union, but I sincerely hope that the countries in the EU do not lose their indigenous languages, customs and cultures as a result. Europe would become a very boring place if it did. |
You're right, the EU is not fully a country as say the US is and I kind of get carried away and already see it as one. At least in my opinion the whole EU dream is for it to become one country eventually, don't know when but eventually. We already got a level of union that is beyond any other association of countries anywhere. We got at least in some countries a common currency which was unthinkable only 10 years before it actually happened. But yeah, this is just my opinion but I would hope to see the EU become one day some kind of United States of Europe. One of the reaons why the US is so powerful as a country is precisely because they are a bunch of states that are UNITED.
So I'm curious as to that last part of your comment which I underlined: I understand what you are saying but I have to wonder, would you by the same logic say that the US who mostly speaks one language only, that it is a boring country because of that?
