Of course it's a generalization, that's the point. I don't think anyone on this forum is so dimwitted to actually believe that EVERY european is the same, and EVERY american is the same. The question implies the mindset on the whole. And there ARE noted cultural differences between the US and the whole of Europe.

I think americans are far more competitive, europeans are far more open minded, and neither is "braver" than the other. Of course there are two different kinds of bravery, the physical and the kind of moral bravery to stand for what's right, regardless of your peers. I don't think either group has succesfully mastered that type of bravery.
