    And Baguettes and croissants and frig legs! Germany does have some…interesting bread varieties.

    Baguettes and croissants are also bread…

    Your insults come across like a teenager ranting at his parents that he’s smarter than them.

    I think you don’t understand what I said. I am not insulting Europe, I am European. I am criticizing your closeminded perspective on what you don’t know about.

    European history is a lot more than just some inbred monarchs.

    Of course, and the history of every US state is a lot more than just potatoes.

    If you’re talking about the US, a constitutional bicameral presidential republic, with three branches and a judiciary of your peers, was first done in the US. In fact most modern constitutions are inspired by the American constitution.

      • Republic - Greece and Rome.
      • Democracy - Greece
      • Judiciary & Jury - Saxon/England
      • Common Law Legal System - Saxon/England
      • Principles of the Enlightenment that inspired the Founding Fathers - Germany, France, Italy and England

      More countries have used the Canadian constitution than the US as their framework.

        Yes, amazingly, literally everything is inspired and influenced by things in the past, since the US founders were influenced largely by European cultures they were influenced by Europe. But of course, all those European cultures were even more significantly influenced by Levant cultures. Why learn European history that was just savages a few thousand years ago when you could learn Levant cultures?
