[quote="eotunun"]You have to face the fact that europe is not part of the united states, [quote]
Here you are making a presumption that I believe Europe is part of the U.S. - could this be your prejudice talking? Of course I do not perceive any other country as part of mine. I never have.
[quote="eotunun"]and another fact, which is that the media of the united states have tended to claim the US had invented civilisation. Neglecting efforts of others (and thus, their own!). [quote]
Another presumption eotunun. Just because I am an American does not mean I believe the U.S. invented civilization. That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.
[quote="eotunun"]Yo´ll find out that a lot of times fact got distorted to "apatriotic" sounds.[quote]
I already know that some historical facts of ours have been distorted which gives me enough perspective to realize that historical facts have most likely been distorted everywhere.
I find the presumptions you make very interesting and completely untrue. I can only hope that my presence here will open everyone's eyes to the uniqueness of every individual, regardless of their nationality, and that we will stop making assumptions about anyone's motivations or thinking. This is a first step in starting true dialogue between people, between nations.

And so, this is my last and only post addressing you directly.
