I have to watch my credit score to own a house, have an apartment, get a decent rate on car insurance and live a normal life. Already have to do that, chucklefuck.
"from the Greeks and Romans to the enlightenment era representative governments"
Whom were savages and equally capable of violence on those deemed "barbarians" or lesser. The Romans and Greeks taught up some important things; but they show us nothing to take from example in a socialist governance. Drop the "TRVTH WEST" bullshit because most of here want to see the West completely destroyed!
At least the Ottoman and Persian shahdoms during the 800s-1400s provided us the Golden Age of Islam which propelled and powered the renaissance. Oh, and most of the European renaissance came from Byzantine scholars whom had preserved and kept the classics of the Greeks fleeing the fall of Constantinople towards Italy. Can you guess what these glorious, enlightened and catholic nations did to the Byzantines during the siege?
You do know history, you say. Why is that history paints such a dark, grim picture of Europe?
