Celb- The EU is a super power. And every parliament has bs, although if you are American I have to say I'm both surprised and impressed your news covers such matters.

Oh yeah!

Because we Americans don't know anything, and are oblivious to the outside world!

I'm sick of the popular thing being making fun of Americans...sure there's tons of fat, stupid people over here...I could point and laugh at plenty of things about other countries as well...

And I bet a majority of foreigners don't know how our government or justice system works either...I don't go laughing at them about it...


 It wasn't a comment making fun of Americans. I genuinely was surprised that the American news covered such matters. We get your news channels in Europe and it seems very American centric with little cover of world events.

Sure there's the stereotype of Americans not knowing what goes on outside the US but I wasn't referring to that at all. 

American politics and justice is actually fairly well covered in the UK news so we do have a fair understanding of it.
