    We do. I am a Celt. We are an ancient people, far older than any other on Earth. We predate the last Ice Age as a culture and people. Our forms of dance, poetry, music, government, literature (we used an oral rather than a written form), investigation and scientific inquiry (the Druids were our philosophers and scientists), and reverence for the person continue to survive to this day. These have influenced modern music-Country/Western and many Rock forms are based on our traditional musical forms. Dance is seen in the line dancing, square dancing and so forth, and so forth. I woun't insult you with names or the like, as this appears to come straight from ignorance. A good book on this subject is "The Mark of the Scots" and another is "How the Irish Saved Western Civilization." These will give you a pretty good idea as to what Western or European culture is and where it comes from. The Germanic peoples came in from Asia and as such although currently living in Europe, are not truely native to Europe. The Celts orginated there and continue on there.

    Your pulling our leg right? Where do you think American traditions and cultures came from.

    From those European people that were emptied out of there countries jails and shipped over here at first.Then those that came voluntarily looking for land and jobs.

    you ar overlooking our only native traditions. Those of the Native American Indians.

    Who says so? All people and civilizations have their own culture and traditions. And they are all proud to be following it just as we are proud to be following ours. Its just that we are too dumb to understand others' traditions that we ask such questions and develop such mentality. But it a fact proved through survey that Europeans are the most disciplined in the matter of following rules or religion, etc... :-)

    Why would you assume that? I would say that europe contains many different peoples and countries of deep tradition and culture.

    if you do the same thing whenever there is a holiday or birthday such as go to your parents when its Christmas that's called a tradition...and Europeans are the birth place of some of the most talented artists and musicians..so to say that is completely insane.
