actually i think it's quite the contrary when it comes to music, poetry, architecture, technology, education, economics and especially the fact that religion doesn't play a crucial role in most European societies - which I consider a very good thing.
also we mostly live in peace for 70 years, have in general low poverty, good healthcare systems and working social security systems.
sure, there are always things that could be improved but show me places where an average person is better off?
actually I am very proud to be European

totally agree, not to mention artists and inventors from centuries ago.
what i was referring is 1st millenium after Rome falls, the Dark Ages. We had a chance to be very civilized and developed if Rome would maintan their rule, we European lost millenium of culture and were thrown into darkness instead.
