    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.

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

    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.
