      He cited an American visiting the UK as an example of an American learning about Europe. I simply disagree that you can learn much about Europe from visiting the UK.

        Cool, disagree away. Doesn’t change anything.

        You said “the UK is not Europe” and I agree. Europe is massive and diverse.

        Maybe that’s what you meant.

      Also, the dude literally cites Greece, who do you think bailed out of the EU first? Does that mean Greece isn’t in Europe?

      What do you mean with that? Greece is still in the EU. The EU bailed out Greece not that Greece left the EU.

      Well not Greece because it’s very much still a member of the EU. It even still uses the Euro as a currency. Of all its members, the UK is the only one that left.

      Greece didn’t bail out of the EU. Its still a member. It tried to reassert its monetary sovereignty during the Eurozone crisis and was crushed by Germany and forced into vicious austerity.
