I hate it when those english/euro folks hijack a thread

It is all our fault...As we didn't exactly send the best and the brightest to get the party started in the first place. They had witch trials...and we had erm..oh! The Renaissance!

You do realize England and a large portion of the rest of Europe had witch trials also...right?

Let's be grateful Napoleon was defeated in Waterloo!
Europe would be quite different now!

Sorry Bronco Fan, I was just feeling lazy so I took a cheap shot and you got in the way. My allegiance to Buck begins and ends with him telling me who Marry Queen is two years ago. Other than that, this whole thread is either a work or, based on the deplorable spelling, Buck needs to crawl out of the bottle.

For all the fun or not so fun back and forth, the Brit and for that matter much of Western Europe is just a mirror of the USA. The continent was after all occupied by Europeans who systematically cleansed it of native Americans with a thoroughness that would have been the envy of Hitler.

The world is what it is today because the Europeans knew steel and crafted weapons with it, carried germs with them that they had immunity to and no idea the native peoples would not.

They traveled this hemisphere spreading their religion, culture etc.

Heads on pikes in the middle of town square was a very popular ritual to show Euro domination.

While parts of the US culture reflect the culture of the Africans we enslaved and the unwanted Euros of the time that migrated to the USA, the greatest influences both in terms of enlightened thought towards democracy to a love of empire are our rightful inheritance from the UK

The last post aside I enjoy the international flavor of this forum. It in part fittingly demonstrates that we all maybe different but we also regardless of birth culture have many off same emotions, drives and cares.

JUst my take so I hope the Brits keep on "highjacking" threads
