Europeans, are we the coolest of them all?

I know its a bit stupid, but thats what after hours is for.

Is europe the coolest continent to be from?

Im just back from a year travelling the world and I think the general consensus is that we are the cream, people used to always so "Oh my God you from Europe, wow I want to live their some day". And to be honest when you think about it is real cool, the history, the style, the looks, education, money and musically, we have the lot really.

And then once we told them we were Irish, well, they were practically on their knees! Its great being irish and having an Irish accent!

And we can settle this, I was the only Dub in our group and the rest of the lads were from Donegal, Cork, Galway and Monaghan, always the girls though my Dub bleeding rapih Colin Farrell accent was by far the sexiset

Ok im going to bed now, am a little drunk.....

the only things we've got going for us are we're not american, and we're not currently experiencing famine or massive drought.

In more ways than one? Cool...? Considering a past history of colonial rule? Now being originally from Galway and Ireland, I find that cool. A city of artistic talent in a land that has never sought to conquer or rule anyone in more than 700 years. Now, that's cool.

i always thought asia was pretty hip!

invincibleirish · 30-03-2008 03:09AM

I think this is proof alone we should vote yes for the treaty of Lisbon

Yes, yes we are the coolest continent. But unfortunatly we are cool in the same way that girls from LA whose fathers own Saturn dealerships are cool. In otherwords we are pretentiously cringeworthy fake cool. We try so so hard to be cool and hope that the fact we have lots and lots of money will make everyone over look the fact that we are trying so hard to be cool (which is uncool) and just except it. So no, no we are not cool, not even a little. South America is the coolest continent (if infact it is a continent {if its not its own continent that just shows how cool it is, that I thought it was} and not just part of the larger continent of America) because they don't even try, and thats what makes them cool, not trying, right? So to sum up, no yeah no. Europe is the most uncool continent after North America[despite the fact that they have Samuel L Jackson and Lou Reed] (if infact it is a continent {if its not its own continent that just shows how uncool it is, that I thought it was} and not just part of the larger continent of America), and the fact that you started this thread asking if we are cool just lost us a whole big nasty bunch of coolness....I hope you're proud of yourself.

In what way? You dont want to be from North America for the culture but damn they can kick your ass. And Australias cool because they have kangaroos and Dingos. and Africa does the least bitching of them all (or maybe we just dont listen)

Not sure what Europe is cool for..

Sure, we only went around colonising the planet so that everyone else would know that we were in fact the sh*t. Plus, we stole most of their bling, which just made us ice baby.

Nowadays it isn't cool to be a imperial. That stuff went out with jackboots and khaki. That is why America ain't cool. They're like those teen girls who wear leg warmers. That phase ended a lond time ago. Deal with it.

Overheal · 30-03-2008 05:58AM

Leg Warmers... theres an idea.

Or I could just turn the heat on

but waste oil? Hell no: leg warmers ftw!

Going after someone for posting an image that just so happened to contain a scene from a star trek episode whilst being at a computer and on the internet is like saying "wrestling is for retards" whilst standing ring side at one of the big wrestling events on which you just spent hundreds of euros to attend.

That is so, so funny! I loved the way you managed to keep track of all the parenthesis! And subclauses, dear God the subclauses!
