    That’s an American problem. In Europe nearly everyone knows how to drive manually.

      If it weren’t for America, BMW and Mercedes wouldn’t be selling a single manual transmission vehicle anymore.

          Instead of laughing, perhaps you’d like to see how many manual transmission models are sold under those two brands in Europe. Now do the same for the US.

            It’s because only the rich in Europe buy new cars, buying a new car is a very rare thing.

            In addition to that BMW and Mercedes are known as luxury brands and by far not common in Europe.

                Other than the UK I guess, and the business vans are usually sold as manual too.

              Totally made up claim, the average passenger car age is 12.2 years in the US, and 12 years in Europe. BMW market share is 2.4% in the U.S., 6.7% in Europe. Similar figures for Mercedes are 2.5% U.S. vs. 5% Europe.

                Only in the same way you call someone who voted for Hitler a Nazi. You know what’s less nice than mean words? Dead kids.

                PS. I also enjoy shooting, I have friends who own guns, my favourite is a .30-30 Marlin Lever-action 5 shot breakdown rifle that is absolutely superb for hunting roos and pigs. We just have rules that make sure you’re responsible.

            The ones who keep healthcare for everyone, have guns under control and keep most companies privacy policy in check. We don’t point at one politician to do the job for us, it’s at least a hundred.

                  That’d be a coup, though if any country should incorporate them, it should be Canada because they didn’t even have to fight for their independence.

            Also unironic answer for Czech(oslovak) Repubic: Václav Havel, Dubček, Tomáš Masaryk. So far General Pavel seems much better than Zeman.
