lol. get some knowledge man. That's hilarious. I probably know more about the US than you know about Europe. England didn't invent capitalism. Capitalism has been there forever. Just because there such a thing as "Manchester Capitalism" doesn't mean that you can ascribe the invention of capitalism to England.
Moreover have you have heard of Puritans or Calvanists? Go and get some knowledge sucker.

Ever heard of John Winthorp? That's what I call culture lol. And The US is build on his ideologies... As a result, Europe is definitely more "cultured" than the US. Europe sucks sometimes, but I prefer living in Europe. There is no such city as Rome, Paris, Barcelona or London in the US.
