there does seem to be a tendency for the rest of the world to butt in or condemn when we do something that doesn't square with Europe's values system
even people from the same country don't think the same
look at it like country boy vs city boy
if one guy was raised shootin rabbits with his shotgun and hunting hogs with his pit (bull)
and the other
lost a friend in a drive by shooting and was bitten by a mean dog
obviously they will feel differently about the same subject
thing is, it isn't the same subject
if they discuss leash laws, obviously they will differ
if they discuss the owning of firearms, obviously they will differ
fact of the matter is that they may be using the same words but are speaking two different languages
until one lives the life of the other, they will not see things the same
city people tend to think in boundaries and barriers
put the dog on a leash, no WHATEVER allowed, WHATEVER free zone
country folk look at it along the lines of control
control your dog, as long as no one gets rowdy there won't be a problem, take the bull by the horns
most all of the Europeans I've met have been city folk (culture wise)
the main exception would be the Russians.
but the Russians were a little..... um...... they were very Russian.
to understand is to forgive
