Regarding culture: Do we want to discuss what each nation has done and why one selves nation is the greatest of all? I've heard statements, that this thread is nice because it is NOT judging or valueing - do you think that this would continue if we start comparing cultural benefits or shortcomings?

I was not trying to boast. How do you show that a culture is not just mono focused (economic) without examples? I could make another list for the EU. (Think of the painting, sculpture, philosophy...)
It seems every time I try to do an overview of the differences, it just starts things all over...
A lot of early immgrants to the US were religious refugees. I guess it should be no suprise that those outliers are still around...
