Comparing USA with EU is impossible.
It would be like comparing Canada with Asia.
East coast vs West coast atleast generally speaks american english.
But there's no relation between Finnish and Turkish people whatsoever.
And that's not a bad thing, every culture has it's angle.
There's no point in trying to make everyone the same.
People will always be different.
And that's not a bad thing, diversity is good.

Funny, all the skeptical talk for EU unification comes from countries that shy away. Did you u know that vikings came all the way down to the balkans in the 7th century AD? They mixed there with local populations, that could be a link. Have you ever been to Turkey before? Do you know turkish and finish culture so well that you can make such a statement. For one both turks and finns had great spirit in defending their nation, the finns in ww2 against russia, the turks after ww1 preventing the break up of their territory from western powers.

Furthermore why are people associating a lack of diversity with the EU when the EU is promoting diversity and local governance control.

BTW in case you all didn't know the the European Unionfs $10.5 trillion GDP now eclipses the United Statesf, making it the largest economy in the world. The EU is already the worldfs leading exporter and largest internal trading market.

I think it should be about time that sweden and countries alike stop talkin about "evil" globalization and incompatability within europe and start adopting the euro. Alone out there in scandinavia it can surely get cold. This euro skepticism is holding back the infinite possibilities that a unified europe has.
