Do you feel european?

Question

Hey there, i just wanna ask all those Europeans out there, do you feel European? Does any European feel that he shares a common identity with a Scotsman, an Finn, a Greek, a Romanian, an Italian? Do you have the sense of unity( i wouldn't even dare go to brotherhood), do you take pride in the fact that you are European? Or do you simply feel that Europe ans has just went through to much against one another to actually unify in the end and form a pan-european nation.

Answer 1

I feel like a person.

Answer 2

I feel european, but im pro E.U intergration, most english people are rather nationalistic. I think the english government are so euro-sceptic, us brits feel a bit left out.
When you go France or Spain or the suchlike, theres a real 'european' feel that you don't get in England.
Then again, i suppose it's a matter of what you describe as european, and what makes it.
In the future though, i don't see why Europe cant unify more? unless of course, they just keep expanding it..

Answer 3

Not really. Like you say, I don't see what Polish culture has to do with Italian, or Norwegian with Portuguese.

I don't really think about the whole "Europe thing", I tend to think of each country in the EU as an individual.

But the more places join, the less duty-free I get when I go on holiday :(

Plus, I'm not overly comfortable with this whole moving towards one big ruling power thing, it makes me nervous.

Answer 4

The whole European Project is being slowly forced on us in secret.
They tell us as little as possible.
New Labour is to Brussels, what Mussolini was to Berlin in 1939.

Its like our government is a Quisling government..... to a big gang of our natural enemies !!
Without a shot being fired !!
The whole thing is treachery.
I'd rather be skint and on the Bread-line, than be ruled from Brussels by all the third rate Politicians who couldnt get a seat at home.

Answer 5

No and I never will. In fairness I do not think the Italians French, Germans Spanish or anyone else does. The politicians do because ffor the 13th year in succesion the EC accounts have been quualified by the Auditors in such a way that it is obvious that fiddles on on a multination monopoly scale

Answer 6

while i became youthful i thought Europe became specially France, Spain, and so on, by using fact lots of those American shows spoke of those countries while talking approximately being eu. i think of that's 2 fairly some issues. Geographically, we are the the continent of Europe, and we compete in eu tournaments including soccer and the eurovision, and are individuals of the ecu, yet we've not got the Euro as funds. i'm British and to me "eu" isn't something i could use to describe the united kingdom. I accept as true with what the others pronounced; England feels greater American in terms of way of existence.

Answer 7

Born in Germany , coming from a Dutch / Austrian / Polish background , living in Scotland - yes , I feel European , but I'm not proud of it - why should I (or anybody) be proud of a coincidence of birth ?

Answer 8

Slightly different answer. I am European (mongrel - English, Scottish, Welsh, French and German) but for years I have worked at being a 'world citizen' so that I can try to learn everything, think about everything, teach everything.

Answer 9

I am English and proud to be so. I am not interested in being part of Europe. We don't need to be an unequal partner in an overly expensive bureaucratic exercise with Germany and France stitching us up..
