Did America invent Liberty, Freedom, and Democracy and then exported it to the rest of the world?

But, why Sharonna?
Why do you think we feel that way? Is it an American thing? Or a human thing?
Do you think the Russians feel the same way about Russia?
Also, you say America didn't invent anything, what about ... .peanut butter?

Yeah, I pretty much do.  We as human beings tend to slide into whatever thought processes are most convenient and are allowed to pass the tribe's approval.

We have a tribe right now that is drenched in lazy and petulant and emotionally retarded.  We are devolving as a species and it is most apparent in this land of TOO much excess in the wrong places.  The rich get richer and the poor pay for it.  In spades.

So, I'm sure there are civilizations that are much more aware of the value of mankind and man's role on this planet; it just is not in the WEST anywhere I can fathom.

The East seems to have somewhat of a better handle on the glory of man and the need to be united and not divided.  Compared to what we can achieve in unity, what we gain from division and hate is a pathetic exchange.

So, are you saying the Chinese invented everything?
(I understand your point Sharonna)

I can promise you they are not the most ancient civilization.

It began at the inception when Eve tempted Adam probably.  And once there was a rest of the world, they tried to be Democratic, and you saw where that led.

Peanut butter was first patented by a Canadian named M. Edson.

Oh damn!
Ok,
Apple pie then.

Probably a Brit  we've had apples for centuries 

I'm pretty sure we invented Apple's tho. 
Ever heard of a guy called Johnny Appleseed?
He invented them. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at November 26, 2016 7:05 AM MST

You're pretty sure you invented Apple's what?

I just looked that up.

LOL unlikely Americans invented apples... they grow wild here.. we may have had varieties introduced from europe but i think you have to look at where they grow wild to look for origin.  perhaps Johnny Appleseed brought the seeds over from the UK :P

Eve made apple pie to share with Adam but it still had the same effect. 

Do you not think it's the same everywhere? 
Im sure the History of WW2 and it's heroes sounds a little different coming from the Japanese?
Do you not think that every country does the same with the History they teach their young?
I agree with one thing, School, it was not until way past college when I realised that America's History was not really the way I'd  even taught. No kidding!

@Lago --  I don't know enough about history education outside of the United States to speak with any authority on it. My "gut feeling" is many countries do a better job of being more honest about their history.

And sadly not all Americans go to college? Hmm so many miss out :( well that would explain it

Don't know if you're being sarcastic or serious?

I figured the image macro made it fairly clear.  Then again sarcasm isn't supposed to clear when executed  correctly.
