Etymologically linked to the word 'jamal', meaning beautiful, but entered our language via the Phoenician word 'gamal'. Camels are seen as noble animals among Semites I guess. They're awesome alright. Sad Euros never used them, because our climate had no need for them (slower and less strong than horses and stubborn animals with an attitude).

Who would have knew that such creatures originated in the Americas and share a common ancestry with other Camelids like Alpacas and Llamas before the ancestors of today's Dromedary and Bactrian Camels migrated to Asia and east-Africa. Yes, "Jamal" is exclusively an ancient old Arabic word which does mean beautiful which wasn't found in other Semitic languages of northern Middle East, and they adopted the word from these ancient Arabs since Camels weren't known in North Africa and the Near East in general, and the Greeks and the Romans adopted the word via Hebrew or Phoenician language.

In America we like Guns of all kinds, and Europe they seem to like knives. I also heard a lot Europeans talk shit on Americans for our love of guns. Like some of them be like " Why do you need an AR-15" etc.

NA is made for consumerism. You make alot of money but you are somehow hypnotised your whole life to buy useless things you don't want and spend money.
Europe is much more minimaistic and it's very visible comparing their cars and houses.
The thing that is really bad in NA is the need of a car, which is it's biggest flaw, wherever you go you need to take a car and the drives are long, everything is far from each other. ( I literally lost desire of driving a car after week and half in Canada/ Straight roads, always red and always waiting, its so booring it's insane.)
When I was in Canada i had to take my sister and my nephew to hospital and then do some errands it took us around 4-5 hours.
In Europe everything is much more centralised and we could finish those kind of things in an hour, sometimes not even needing a car.
