    We have Christians and mysogynist idiots in Europe as well, so I doubt that explains the difference

      As someone who’s spent half his life on each continent, there are few religious nuts in Europe that can hold a candle to the crazy of American religious nuts.

      Well, yeah…

      If someone was completely ignorant about how America was first “settled” by religious extremists, that would make sense.

      European most extreme zealots who wanted to force everyone to follow their rules were mad they were minorities in Europe, so they all signed up to come to America where they would be a majority and have a shit ton of kids to maintain that majority.

      The “idiots” you have in Europe, are the ones not extreme enough to cross an ocean to force their beliefs on people, so fucking obviously the most extreme in Europe won’t be as extreme as the ones that left.

      Like, logically you should have been able to figure this out.

      Just in general tho…

      When someone says something you’re not aware of, why don’t you just ask some fucking questions and then next time it comes up, you won’t be ignorant.

      Like, that’s how this whole “learning” thing works.

      What you’re doing is just telling everyone you’re ignorant, and hoping someone takes a minute to proactively explain things to you.

      But it’s almost guaranteed you’re gonna get belligerent about it and I’m gonna end up blocking you.

        And of course there haven’t been any changes in european idiocy in the two hundred years since that happened. There also haven’t been any Americans coming back to return their brand of idiocy, which is why the are no mornings or scientologists in Europe right?
