Ahh the name calling as that is all you have left. I genuinely feel sorry for you. You continue to back the wrong horse, come up with prediction after prediction that never happen and reply to data and facts with memes that give you little credence. You have your beliefs which of course you're entitled to, but when challenged on them you cant seem to back them up with anything factual at all.

I It brought you law, democracy, science, the very internet your using now, the industrial revolution, culture, the list is endless! To be honest we joking say in the UK "what did the Romans ever do for us?" Roads, improved farming techniques, sanitation, medicine, etc etc again the list is a very long one. Your whole society is largely based on European influence, if you cant see that then you really are Eyes wide shut! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Religious Freedom...you dolf..It was surfdom along with facsim...Hitler and Mussilina ring a bell? By the way it took Hilter 20 years of suppressing information and killing to achieve his goals.. The United kingdom is part of Europe. Many of the first colonists were seeking religious freedom in the new world (that whole catholic versus protestant church schism thing). This predates Hitler by a long time. Read some history. The USA is a English colony that only got independence via traitorism to the crown. I know you are a big fan of traitorism. Next ask yourself who will flee the USA if trump manages to get a dictatorship. History repeats itself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirteen_Colonies "The Thirteen Colonies had similar political, constitutional, and legal systems, and each was largely dominated by Protestant English-speakers. The first of the colonies, Virginia, was established at Jamestown, in 1607. The New England Colonies, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, were substantially motivated by their founders' concerns related to the practice of religion."

It's no wonder you cannot comprehend the Green Revolution crash...you cannot read maybe?..definitely it's speaker to the 16th century... The motivations and demographic composition of immigrants have changed over the long history of European migration to the United States. The first wave, between the 16th and 18th centuries, largely consisted of English-speaking settlers from the British Isles seeking economic opportunity and religious freedom. Considering the high costs of crossing the Atlantic, Europeans arriving in this era were a mix of well-to-do individuals and indentured servants. From the 1840s to 1850s, the second wave witnessed the arrival of immigrants from Ireland, Germany, and Scandinavia escaping famine, religious persecution, and political conflicts. Compared to first-wave Protestant settlers, the new arrivals were overwhelmingly Catholic, came from much poorer backgrounds, and were more likely to be young and unskilled. Following this boom, European migration to the United States mostly paused during the Civil War. More than 20 million immigrants arrived in the third wave (1880-1914). The new immigrants, primarily from Southern and Eastern Europe, were of different linguistic and religious backgrounds than earlier European arrivals. Most Southern European immigrants were motivated by economic opportunity in the United States, while Eastern Europeans (primarily Jews) sought protection from religious persecution. European immigration was slowed first by the outbreak of World War I in 1914, then by restrictive national-origin quotas established by the Immigration Act of 1924, which privileged individuals from Western and Northern Europe, and effectively halted immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe. The most recent wave of European immigration followed the fall of the Iron Curtain in the early 1990s when a substantial number of Eastern Europeans moved to the United States to reunite with family members or seek humanitarian protection. The number of European immigrants in the United States has remained roughly the same since 2000 (see Figure 1). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
