The Bulgarian people have had great influence on Europe in the past, the Bulgarian country had a territory stretching to 3 seas in the past. Also they were great warriors, greatly weakening the Byzantine Empire leading to it's darkest periods. And now we are a crappy country twisted by 500 years of Turkish slavery and temporary reign of extreme Communism.
I don't know ifI Fiend I said:
The common misconception is that all Germans are not blonde hair blue eyes. Infact that stereotype is more swedish than it is German, germans are more commonly brunet.Summerstorm said:
Of course not, the tourists don't have the drinking capability of the Irish, and foreigners that move to dublin have an extremely hard time with the accent.Code_Red said:
I usually dont condone this sort of thing but in your situation I would suggest a lawyer. Even though personally I think you are being judgmental based on one experience, and despite my own feelings about Atheism. People cannot legally keep you from going to school because of religion (or lack of it).Igotaname13 said:
Okay, here we go.
1. Without Scotland the world would not have, amongst other things: televisions, telephones, penicillin, pneumatic tires, etc.
2. We have heard of other music. We don't all listen to the bagpipes. Honestly, that instrument sounds like a strangulated cat being ran over with a drivable lawnmower.
3. Haggis is NOT an animal. Haggis is oats and other stuff boiled inside a sheep's stomach.
4. We don't always wear kilts. We're not still living in the age of the Jacobites.
5. WE KICK ARSE. Seriously, the Jacobites managed to march all the way down to London before being dissuaded from their course by a big filthy stinking lie. Plus we owned the English at several major battles. Like Bannockburn or Stirling Bridge.

Okay. Common misconceptions about Americans.Janisterzaj said:
We are not all idiots. I could point out Slovenia on a map and that is because my crappy american public schooling. We are not all racist. We are not all Old and Republican, and Inversely we are not all peace loving hemp wearing democrats. The stereo types are pretty even between the parties. We dont all judge the european countries by stereotypes, and when we do it is just as a joke (well atleast the people i know.)
Prior to contrary belief the south will not rise again. The confederate flag does not stand for racism, people use it as a sign for rebellion, and actually stands for a farming economy unlike the North's Industrial Economy. Mostly all our founding fathers smoked pot. Lincoln did not end slavery to end slavery, he ended it to keep europe from siding with the south. He has actually been quoted to say "if i could have saved the union with out ending slavery i would have".
Not all American's are irish, although they will all tell you differently during St. Patties day. We don't all drive SUVs, we dont all drive trucks. We don't all fly american flags.
We don't care what the facts are, as long as we are concerned we did it first, we did it best, and if it wasn't for us Europe would belong to Germany Twice. Seriously, American's all truly believe that we are the sole cause of victory in world war 1 and 2.
Don't forget that we produce most of the World's rose oil.rayman 101 said:One of the first comptuers was invented in Bulgaria: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Vincent_Atanasoff
Also, Bulgaria is one of the few countries that has the bacteria to produce Youghurt.
Hockey is where it is at. To bad most our good players are from europe or canada.Symplify said:
Oh random fact about Canada, Gretzky is god. So in Canada i wouldn't be considered an atheist.
Edit: Another fun fact. Both Football and Basketball (American created sports) are based off of Rugby. And Rugby (british sport) got its start when a man at the university of Rugby wondered what would happen if he picked up the soccer ball and ran with it.
