What Has Your Country Ever Done For Us?!

[Qtoy]

Canada has graced the world with it's presence. You're welcome.

And Rob Furlong. Seriously, Canadians are badass.

The Molotov Cocktail is a Finnish invention. You're welcome, have fun burning stuff.

I love you and your country.

...Shepherd's pie...

I had a feeling you guys made it, but now that it's been confirmed, all I can say is that you, your nation, and anyone living in it past, present, or future, deserves a medal. I love you.

OT: America gave you guys Audie Murphy. The shortest, awesomest, badass ever.

 

[novixz]

Fine, you guys won't take KEYBOARD for and answer, America invented airplanes. Their you happy?

Also Canada came out with him. <img src=http://www.yaare.com/wp-content/themes/gazette/2010/01/Justin-Bieber.jpg> But you also have deadmau5 so that's fucking alright.

America has <img src=http://elessar20.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/metallica-0007.jpg> But then again we have Rebecca Black/Arc Music Factory, but that's all made up for by <img src=http://www.ilovethatsong.com/images/local/250/51e4964a-3fa2-443d-9744-308dd82852c1.jpg>

Also America invented the internet.

 

[Snowblindblitz]

The Beatles, and consequently, most of all modern music.

As a non Beatles fan, I call foul. They were influenced by 1950's rock where blatantly stole from blues in America. Blues being the foundation of almost all rock and roll, I must say, you are welcome.

 

[Ronarch]

Americans mass produced the car, invented the heavier-than-air airplane, with Orville and Wilbur Wright, we mass produced radio, television. We export most of the world's corn, and we saved Europe from mass destruction twice and they shit on us for it.

Edit: We also gave you Johnny Cash, Elvis, Billie Holiday, Frank Sinatra. We also gave you Colt 1911, the most badass weapon in the history of everything. Ernest Hemingway, Mark Twain, and the world's longest lasting Democratic Republic.

On a more relevant note, we gave you Rockstar Games, Blizzard, Activision,Valve, Microsoft, Mac.

We helped make Gaming a relevant and useful art form, with the PS3, 360, and Steam.

Ok, I know Americans imagine themselves to be the creators and saviors of civilization, but lets get something straight.
Computers: Made in Germany
Internet: Created in the CERN labs in switzerland
Pizza: Italy
Nuclear energy: Discovered predominately by German scientists, albeit on US soil.
Megan Fox: Are you serious, thats your gift to the world??, no thanks.
CD: Last I checked Sony was a Japanese firm
First Spaceplanes: Soviet Union
Rock music: Britain obviously
German defeat in WWII: Check your facts, Berlin fell to Russian troops

So before you go around spouting half-baked proclamations of your nations greatness, it would be good to remember that the only thing we will remember the US for is the 3-trillion dollar war in Iraq, not to mention Afghanistan

1: We invented the PERSONAL COMPUTER!!!!!!!
2: See: Robert Kahn?s Internet protocol/TCP (1973) we also made Flash and Javascript
3: We like pizza
4: If its made on American soil its an American Invention
5: We forgot about her in 2010
6: We invented the CD in 1965 it wasn't commercialized until 15 years later by SONY
7: We still got to the moon more than any one else
8: We invented rock, the British popularized it with the Beatles
9: We fought the Nazis and the Japanese, Double what anyone else fought


Here are some other things we made essential in creating the modern world

2: Håkan Lans invented a great little tool you may have heard of, The Global Positioning System! Saving men from nagging wives since it's introduction! HAYO!

3: In 1885, Lars Magnus Ericsson invented the first telephone headset! We may hate it, but telemarketers and xbox live wouldn't be the same without this!

4: Sven Torbjörn Lagervall?s discovery of ferroelectric liquid crystals in 1979 sparked the invention of a computer must have, the flat screen monitor!

5: In 1950, Hellmuth Hertz started his pioneering work with ultrasound for medical diagnosis! This helpful invention has saved many lives! And creeped out many men with photos of babies! HAYO!

6: In 1844, Gustaf Erik Pasch patented the safety match when he replaced the poisonous yellow phosphorus with non-poisonous red phosphorus. SWEDEN! Y U NO POISON MATCHES?! HAYO!

7: TNT, it's Dynamite! Alfred Nobel invented dynamite in 1866, which earned him one of the 355 patents he had managed to assemble before his death in 1896.

8: The most evil device known to man, and the womens best friend! The zipper! Need I say more?

seems no one looks too far back,England didn't invent the language,they merely adapted what was left after the roman empire left....so stop taking credit for adapting,cause if you can America can and therefore invented the language we speak.
