I know the majority of westerners think that Europe is the cradle to an amazing civilization, that it's provided so much to the world. But really, when I think of Europe, I think of a place that was dark and depressing for much of history, that was filled with pagan barbarians who regularly plundered and raped or stuck peacefully to their various pastures, that received/took the light of civilization from other peoples, and now thinks itself to be the source for all it has. Spoiled crybaby that needed two world wars on its land to put the people in line and pacify them.
