So USA citizens are mistrusting the government (arguably for good reasons), whereas Europeans have some more respect for theirs.
The Founding Fathers mistrusted their own government, the one they were about to create for generations. Most or all of them came from Europe, not even born on American soil. They knew their own past history on the old continent perfectly and were trying to create a new paradigm. No more empire, no more monarchy, no more tyranny. They knew they would not be alive forever and created a document that tells people they have the right to free speech (to bad mouth their own government not the right of Libel and lie about their neighbor), and the right to bear arm if that government transformed itself into a tyranny, like it did so many times before in Europe.
Europeans have zero respect for their own government as they believe government is a job creator, a right giver and nothing else. Europeans believes they are born with zero rights, only then their trusty government has a list of rights it gives to its citizen, the exact opposite in the USA.
So far millions upon millions of serfs and sheep all over Europe have been slaughtered by their own government, the one you believe was trustful. You still believe it is OK for families with "noble blood" to be on top of you forever while you keep your own middle class to be slaved forever. Why do you think the brightest among you leave your countries by the hundred of thousands every year to come and work in California?
Must be that trusty government of yours.
By the way what is the safest country in Europe and how many people can it absorb every year in its paradise?

I intended that sentence as a summary, and forgot the question mark so that people could make remarks on the statement. Didn't expect such aggressive stands. I believe that not one system is perfect, and it's always a search to find the best imperfect system. I often see the Scandinavian countries scoring high in lists about happiness, health care, distribution of income, etc. USA has higher per capita income, best universities, much more rights to defend themselves, etc. I'm fascinated by the way different policies turn out to be, and probably differ if applied to other countries.
I don't no that much about Europe, but the Scandinavian countries are probably good candidates as safest countries.
I am sorry if my reply felt aggressive. The missing question mark did make a big difference trying to guess the vibe. I do get lots of feedback from European countries, from friends and not just from news reports.
The ideal of any system works if in theory if everyone is in it 100%. But for that to happen people would to stop to be people and be cloned, and even that would not guaranty the birth of individualism. If you follow a bit of politic you would notice the extreme right is getting stronger in Norway for example, after decades of socialism. That is the nature of the beast. The mass killing on that island and the quick jump of the socialists to blame the extreme right was not a card well played and so they lost the election. In Sweden they are calling anyone not a socialist a nazi. Not smart.
Anyway I usually have a smile when browsing the bitcointalk forum, no matter the price of bitcoin.
