Why are Europeans so lazy?

It is the nature of their country as with our able bodied people that don't work and draw welfare and other perks,then complain when their monthly free money doesn't arrive on time.

Human beings are inherently lazy.  Or, should I say inherantly efficient.  The human mind is designed to find the easiest way to do the most.  It is why we create machines and tools and computers.\n\nNow, the problem is that as things get more efficient, it is more difficult to go beyond the new normal.  Only those that are truly motivated are those that go the extra step.\n\nThis "efficient" way of thinking does have its down side.  People tend to do just the minimum, since the minimum produces the same results as a lot of work did 100, 50, even 10 years ago.\n\nWhat sometimes adds to this is the social structures presented by the government (a vicious circle).  The government used to say, you want money, get a job.  Now they say, you want money, don't get married, don't get a job, and have babies.  This is welfare and it actually hurts the people it tries to help.  But now people expect it from the government and complain when it is reduced.\n\nWorse, this attitude goes into our overall way of thinking.  An "I am an American, so I should get..." belief.  We want the free gift when we buy something... The cash rebate from a car, the free toy from cereal, the Buy one get one free from Payless shoes.\n\nThis rant can go on into our ideas on immigration or how he see the rest of the world.  But the truth is, people in other countries are like this too, just not to the extent the U.S. is.  We are the spoiled child of the world.\n\nDon't think I am anti-U.S.  I am lazy, too.  I get paid to sit around and merely type.

Americans are lazy and you will do nothing about it.  \n\nWhat is such a shame is that you care nothing for the 40,000 people you have killed in a war for 'freedom' and yet you get upset because you have to pay $3 for a gallon of gas to drive your huge vehicles 14 miles.. whilst most of Europe are driving 50mpg.  \n\nThe fact that you voted in an ex oil company owner shows how little you care. If you think that anything will change, even after the state of the union speach, then it reinforces how foolish you are.  \n\nTell me, where was the outcry when Bush announced his Energy policy?  The same policy drawn up by the energy industry in secret meetings.  \n\nThe American people are so weak..  you lost so much when the hippies went away in the early seventies.  I mean, look at the recent wiretapping, what are the American people doing about it?  nothing.. weak, weak, weak..  \n\nOh.. and the recent Supreme court decision giving big companies the right to take your home, what did you all do about it?  nothing.. weak, weak, weak..  \n\nWithout your military, this country would be ripe for the taking by even Cuba.

I don't think it is ethnicity that causes us to percieve another culture as being lazy or "lazier."  A lot of what we perceive has to do with the cultural differences created by geography and climate.  People who live in extreme climates will have cultures very different from our own.  An example would be cultures where people take afternoon naps during the hottest part of the day.  I would think technology and drug abuse would cause laziness or rather a lack of motivation compared to people in say, my grandparents or great-grandparents generations.  People didn't have the luxury of laziness then.  If they didn't work - they often wouldn't have shelter or food.

Because Most Americans have lost respect for their own country and their own bodies.  They don't respect themselves or anyone else.  They are lazy SOBs who sap money from the gov't because they are too lazy to work and then taxes go up so I get less for what I work for.  I worked in places where people use their food stamps for chips and dip and their cash allowances for beer and cigarettes.  IT'S SICK!  Forget their kids...forget why they even were allowed that money in the first place.  DISRESPECT, LAZINESS, AND SELFISHNESS are all the reasons why America is less fit than probably any other country in the world.  \n\n***Sorry...this is a touchy topic for me, if you can't tell...I've got stories and stories about this too...

First, thanks for the comment on Americans...at least no one has imposed an anti-democratic, illegal government with powers to spend tax money on the U.S.A.!  No foreigner at least can use public money to put Americans out of work.  Here only 5% of us don't work!  On the other hand:\n\nScandalous?  Yes, its scandalous, unfair, anti-democratic, immoral.\n\n            It's the European Union.\n\n            The politicians are happy, especially the most cynical and useless ones, who when they lose elections in their home countries, populate the European Parliament, the European Commission on this and that, the European...    There are dozens of men who lost elections in their countries of origin who wield more power than the majority of Prime ministers in Europe.  And money disappears continuously...500 million euros according to what I have \nread about last years accounting...the auditors, I understand, refused to sign the books so much money had gone astray!   They disbanded the European Parliament a few years back due to corruption, nepotism, waste of funds\n...now they are all back!\n            Where were your complaints, then?\n            \n             Do something about it.  Pressure your local politicians, let people know you'll vote for the people who'll stand up against the imposition of a European supergovernment.  Boycott products, tv stations, and publications that run propaganda PRO-Europe!   Don't we all have enough government with our own?\n\n             Originally Europeans were told (I know because I was in Britain then) that this was an economic Union...that it meant cooperation and peace...and who could be against that?   But since it has converted in a monster, gobbling up the tax money of Western Europeans to promote policies that put them out of work, that increase crime and illegal immigration, that make political parties illegal in countries that used to be free and functioning nations, etc.\nAnd people were told, there's no danger, the treaties will be revoked if ONLY ONE member country votes no in a referendum.\n\n             Since then, count them...I believe the list is something like this on referenda (do you want your country to be part an European Union political union?)   Denmark:  NO,   Austria:  NO,  Belgium:  NO (I think in Belgium they closed down the Parliament to change the vote somehow), Holland: NO, France: NO.   Blair won't allow Britains to vote because he knows its an overwhelming NO, at least until he gets enough immigrants in to change the vote. \n\nThroughout Europe  ( I know Ive talked to Belgians, Spaniards, Germans, Poles...) the schools brainwash children in how wonderful the Union is, how much \nthey owe to the Union, etc...let a generation pass and the NOs will be Yess, why? propaganda.  I travel in Europe and the television is a never ending stream of European Union this and that.\n\n               Yes, if you work in production of goods and services in France, Germany, Britain, Poland, Austria, Holland, Belgium...you are paying.  Are you getting anything back?   Yes,  soon you won't have a job, or your pay will be less, and, if it matters to you, your country won't have sovereignty anymore.  If you think its scandalous now, just wait until the European army and \npolice force exist. Think George W. Bush is a danger to mankind?  Who bombed Belgrade in 1999?  Who benefitted from all those innocent civilians who died?  Why was there no protest against that illegal war?  Isn't it curious that there are so many laws against this and that, but that crime soars, illegal immigrants destroy property and \nneighborhoods, sell drugs and increase crime, and even bomb subways...and Europe orders the media to play it down, to not be so "racist".  Well, you should read your History, that's my favorite reading...the E.U. was Hitler's idea,  its origins are the Nazi's whose goal was a European political union.  And the idea

A lot of these people on here are either not from the USA or speak another language. Also I think they just want to get their point across as soon as possible and too lazy to type it properly.

it's not because people are lazy, maybe they are just not interested enough.  Could be they can't get away form their computers long enough.

they just want to live off of an already well established nation rather than protest for their own nation to be fixed up...and they call americans lazy.

not really, while Americans and Europeans party away their youth, Indians sit around and work their behinds off. And while we try to get our lives together in the mid 25's, Indians are sitting back relaxing because they worked hard from the get go. It's all in their hard work ethic, which generally applies to most of Asia

Because American's are lazy and no longer think for themselves. Our generation as a whole has become profoundly gullible and we eat what society feeds us because we don't want to work for our own cognitive nourishment.
