This is a question to all Europeans. As diversified as each of you are you basically tolerate each other. How?

Answer 1

practice!!

Answer 2

If you look at European history, you will see that it is full of wars. These were fought mainly because different groups of Europeans wouldn't tolerate each other.

However, in latter days European people have learnt from history and discovered that tolerance is better. That is why there is a united Europe. Not only does this bring the countries of Europe and their peoples closer together, but it also means there is a European Parliament where the different governments can talk their problems through before things get to the heavy stage.

And, of course, when things go wrong, instead of blaming each other, Europeans blame something big and awesome and mystical called the 'European Union'.

Except for a few British tabloid newspapers of course, but nobody cares about them.

Answer 3

Perhaps I'm wrong but I will presume you are American!
Europe and the States have roughly the same population, between 250/300 million. Because we speak different languages dosen't mean we are more diversified overall than say a Redneck from Foley Alabama and an Hamish from Pensilvania. or a New york Cabbie and potato farmer from Idaho. We europeans have been mixing it for thousands of years and share many of the same genes ie Vikings living in Normandy and shipwrecked sailors from the Spanish armada stranded in Ireland. We may appear very different at first sight but if you look deeper we are of a similar ilk

Answer 4

Actually, Europeans have not always tolerated each other. They have fought bloody wars of religion and were the main actors in the deadliest wars in world history: World Wars I and II.

The current peace and stability in Europe is unprecented in the modern era. The so-called Pax Europeana is borne from a realisation that trade and mutual dependence is better than senseless rivalry. What's more, Europeans share a remarkably similar culture that is distinct from the rest of the world: Latin Christianity, the reformation, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, representative governments and respect for the rule of law.

Answer 5

Because over the years we've had so many fights that we might as well be family. Love or hate, we still all come from similar stock and have fought with each other as often as against each other.

Answer 6

I love the differences. It's not just tolerance.

In the 1970s I went from England to mainland Europe to work (Germany, Netherlands, France, Greece) and never looked back. Britain has been boring to me ever since.

Answer 7

Although there are many differences there are also many similarities which help us to get on.

Answer 8

Probably by doing business with each other - Who wants to fight with their customers and suppliers?

Answer 9

we kill,not talk about it!
