Thank a foreign country for what they've given the world

[Erttheking]

I think we need a little more positive threads on this website, so this thread is pretty straight forward. Thank a country that gave the world something that you really like. Ok let's see...France, you gave the world Daft Punk, thank you for that, England, you gave the world the Beatles, thank you for that, and Japan, you gave the world anime and around two thirds of the video game industry, thank you for that, and Germany, you gave the world hamburgers, thank you for that.

Ok, your turn. And please, nothing like "Well country X royally fucked up so we know not to do the sane, thank you for that" none of that please.

Capacha: Happy blessings.

I was going to thank the USA for the modern concept of a nation of free citizens, but then I realised this was a French invention.

Sweden for cheap food, snus, liquor and cigarettes that we Norwegians can drive a short distance to buy instead of our own overpriced everything.

Huh, I didn't know you guys did this. Here in Sweden we go to Denmark for cheap liquor and tobacco.

Ahem... And at the risk of going somewhat off topic: Fuck off, if you'd like to debate who created the "modern" concept of a nation of free citizens, create a thread and I'll happily take you back to Ancient Greece (and beyond!), where this "modern" concept of yours was truly begun.



Anyway, back on topic:

Thank you Germany for Edguy.
