We all know that Americans invented freedom, but it turns out they also invented oatmeal (=havregrynsgröt).

  1. They did? :-) Invented freedom is a good desription I think and freedom can be used as an excuse for doing many things in the name of that freedom.

  2. Of course I'm using irony here... but it does seem many Americans honestly believe that they invented freedom. Or that the American version of freedom is a little bit more freedom-y than the freedom of others. And my partner honestly believes they invented oatmeal!

    I have met several Americans who believe US has a special place in God's plan.
