Let's see are we talking about the same country that still uses the English measurement system long after even England has abandoned it?

N.B. -- I think I know the reason. There is a rumor that if we convert to Celsius temperatures we will have more below zero weather.

How exactly is USA a European country? We're located in North America.

Also, even if the Euro currency wasn't dooming every country that used it, it would cost too much to make the change, and most likely upset a lot of financial balances that have been made around the dollar.

And we are the US of A! We want to be different! :)

Ever heard of a small war a few centuries back? I think it was called a revolutionary war, or something? Know why it happened? BECAUSE WE WANTED TO BE SEPARATE FROM EUROPE!

That won't happen any time soon for the following reasons...

- The USA economy is still one of the largest in the world and there would be concerns that tying our currency to an international average would pull down our economy.

- US Dollars are still treated as an international currency in many places (less true that is once was, but still true).

- The USA does not consider itself "European" as your question suggests. Most Americans only loosely identify with the coutry of their ancestors.

- Our closest European ally, Britain, has yet to completely convert over to Euros.

Nah, there's too much pride in the way America does stuff for the gov't here to switch over. And it's not largely a European country. That doesn't even mean anything. As if Europe was all the same.

I thought the USA was largely an American nation. As the US is ineligible for membership in the European Union, it cannot adopt the Euro as its currency.
I really hope you're not serious.

ah no, the countries that did not accept the Euro are much better of today compared to those that gave up their national currency. You know, money is also part of a national identity, and we are distinctly far from being a European country.

Never, the American dollar will always be worth more than the Euro. And America has shown since 1776 that it is not a European country. That's why.

We're not European. OK European countrys are in EUROP. HENCE FORTH THE WORD EUROP IN EUROPEAN. And no the time it took to build of the value of a dollar compared to a Euro isn't worth it. It would put a big shifts in the value of both.

That is the plan. After all, everything that is happening to the USA is a result of Great Britain exacting revenge on us for kicking their @$$e$ in the Revolutionary War.

Bush is a European, but not me or the rest of us who love freedom.

No, for the same reason Great Britain hasn't. One, it will devalue our currency system, and 2, we don't want to tie our economy which is much more resilient than the rest of Europe's, to the rest of those countires. And 3, we're probably going to face off in a war against France one day so that would REALLY screw it up.
