I JUST FOUND ANOTHER AWESOME AMERICAN THING.
Batman.
Speaks for himself, really.

Also, Captain America, the Joker, Wolverine, Superman....

Damn, you Yanks have given me some good reading material. Good work, guys.

The Canadians!!

"Evidence of peanut butter as it is known today comes from US patent #306727,[3] issued in 1884 to Marcellus Gilmore Edson of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, for the finished product of the process of milling roasted peanuts between heated surfaces until the peanuts entered "a fluid or semi-fluid state." " (Wikipedia)

Americans did invent many things. Like being gawdammitsofucchingawesomesomuch! Yeah... that was us.

We also invented the concept of Total War, and we invented Victory in World War I and II.

You know, ironically, I think that the "space bar" was also invented by an American.

Also, this is the second time today that I've read an anti-American diatribe by a poster that I couldn't be bothered to figure out what country they're from.

I would prefer being a commie than an American, just sayin'. America lost in Vietnam and shall lose in Afghanistan.

Ive found that a very large number of New Zealanders are quite racest. Although this in generaly not true, i cant help but assoceate America with stupidity. I think it was because when i was younger, there was this ad on TV that was of a guy walking along a beach in the us asking people who the persedent was. the ad show that only about half the people knew. Although the results were probily edited for the advantage of the salesperson, the young and nieve me took this to heart and ive never been able to dismiss it.

I dont think presedent bush helped eather. If he was the leader then he must be good. if he is good, then how bad/average are the followers?

Not an American invention but English or Italian depending on how you look at these things.

@Monster Rain - That would be the flag of Spain. Easily one of the world's most recognizable flags.

I'm not one to agree with these flag wavers, but they wont mate, cos we have Royal Marines in Afghanistan.

I just found this photo.. i was about 50 yards behind the big fella.

Seriously though, only way to win is a nuke. I mean they dropped more bombs in Vietnam than both WW1/2 combined. You bombed the crap out of Iraq and still didn't win. But prove me wrong i suppose.

Are the Afghanis communist? Didn't the Russians lose there as well?

If it's not red, white and blue I can't be bothered. Luckily, the UK fits the criteria. And of course Puerto Rico, the nicest place on earth.

Depends if killing everyone and leaving a nuclear wasteland is 'winning'?

If so, thank god America didn't 'win' the cold war.

Flag of Russia

doh!

I'm sorry. Did I say that the list I put up was exhaustive? I don't remember saying that...

By the way, I happen to think that post-Soviet Russia is pretty awesome.

It's a gak hole, by the looks of it. They're skint.

Plus they're still bent as feth. At least when they were the USSR you could kind of admire their strength.

Oh, come on!

Putin gave the entire world both middle fingers when they decided to condemn his invasion of Georgia(or whatever Osetia it was, you pedantic gits). And then there was the matter of the natural gas pipeline. They've still got some moxie.

Without America where would we develop awesome Hollywood!
Oh wait Sydney sorry.
America ain't got :Beep: but at least they have bioware, relic, and all the major gaming companies.

South Ossetia, if I recall correctly.

Yeah, obviously they still have a certain amount of influence and power, but nowhere near as much as they used to have. And their economy is a shadow of it's former self.

You're not even right about what you say it has, which really casts aspersions on your claims as to what it doesn't.

I really don't miss the nuclear brinkmanship though.

'America ain't got gak'?

Yeah, not sure where you got that from...

What Can I say I hate living here. Its so freaking cold. And the people are mean. And I get flicked off frequently when I am not even driving or doing anything wrong.
But America is getting rid of the gaming industry.... The only good thing about America will be gone soon....

Illinois Home to the worst people in the united states. Don't believe go to the state and drive around in Chicago. and You will see exactly what I mean.

America has opened a supreme court case against video games which will ban violent video games from everyone. Not just minors. Originally it was meant for just minors but they have broaden it, alot more.
