The US has a history. It isn't quite as long as that of many European countries, but you have to remember that a whole lot of the history of Europe is so old that it's not much more than tradition at this point, a lot of that old history effects the US just as much as it effects Europe. After all, most in the US moved here after being a part of that history.

As to our country acting like a toddler, or teenagers, or whatnot? I honestly don't understand where you are coming from on that. Do you refer to the "freedom!" values being overenthusiastic? Do you refer to childish revenge? What do you refer to?

And the US doesn't really interfere with Europe very often, no? What do you even mean by Sweeden and the whole of Europe having to keep up?

Honestly, I don't really understand what you are talking about through most of this.

Me neither. I hadn't slept for a really long time when I wrote that.

I have no idea what my train of thought was. I'm sorry.

I just remember giggling and writing.

I've been there. You're more eloquent than I am when you're tired. What was I babbling about that one time?

Every Americans cultural blind-spot.
