Not everyone in England eats crumpets, speaks like a posh twat, wears top hats, beat each other senseless if working class and some of us don't believe in Britain as some Scottish people want to seperate from the UK (can't blame them really).

Australian James Harrison invented vapor-compression refrigeration.

It is legal to hand-rear a joey if it is at a certain age. One of my mates has one poking his legs constantly.

Doing the V sign backwards is actually an insult in most of the U.K, so don't show it to people you silly American tourists, even if someone tells you to do it, especially if that person is me.

Zimbabwe has the highest percentage of milionaires. And here you thought children in Africa were starving!

The American economy blows.... Oh, wait, everyone knows that. In some states, having sex with animals and corpses is legal.

No.

-No American actually thinks America is the greatest country in the world.
-It is pretty uncommon (at least in this part) to find someone who owns a real gun, and even more uncommon that they legally own that gun.
-America is not actually the fattest country in the world

There's my 2 cents.

In Kentucky, there are actually a lot of people who don't give a damn about horses. Me included.

What about Germany for the Nazi Party? Neo Nazis exist.

Yes, but they exist all across the world. Furthermore, the largest concentration of Neo Nazis are Americans.

A lot of Arab countries are racist too. Much more than the US.

Feel free to back this claim up with some facts so I can stop laughing at you.

I'll do it for him:

-The current leader of Iran
-The culture of Saudi Arabia
-The Taliban

Insulin was invented in Canada. Diabetics of the world, you're welcome.

Australia invented Penicillin, everybody of the world, you're welcome
But on a serious note, I don't ride a kangaroo to school everyday...
I'm too big, so I take the Emu instead
Just got my Emu licence too (woo yay)

We also are quite good at alot of sports, go us...
And everything in our country except amateur skaters can, and will try very hard, to kill you.
Even the plants
Woo

I can't tell if you're a troll, or just plain ignorant. PENICILLIN WAS INVENTED BY ALEXANDER FLEMING by accident. He had been growing cultures and the sloppy guy that he was accidentally let them be contaminated while he was off on a trip. He found later that the mold was killing the bacteria. He was scottish.

You don't know where Eastonia is.

Eastern coast of the baltic sea. Try harder. (No I didn't look that up, Not all Americans are not yokels. =])

Not everyone in England eats crumpets, speaks like a posh twat, wears top hats, beat each other senseless if working class and some of us don't believe in Britain as some Scottish people want to seperate from the UK (can't blame them really).

For good reason, most of your inventors have to move to London to get anything done or become accredited which leads to the brits saying they invented everything.

New Zealand doesn't actually have the most sheep per capita, it's the Falkland Islands.
NZ was also the first country to give women the right to vote.

Scotland,

Edinburgh was the first city in the world which had its own fire-brigade.

We have over 600 square miles of lochs(lakes)

We have 790 islands, 130 are inhabited.

Our money is Legal Tender in england

Edinburgh castle is built on top of a volcano isnt it?

The world's longest pencil is in a pencil museum in Keswick (Lake District). There's a lot of graphite in those hills I guess..

Actually, isn't graphite mined?

Correct
As a kid passing by i would always anticipate a massive erruption, but it never happend. Probably due to the fact it is extinct and no one botherd to tell me!

 

[RobCoxxy]

Did you know...
Not everyone in England wears a top hat?

True, but 90% of all Englishmen wish we really did?

The legal age for sex is 15 here in Iceland.It was 14 last year.
Iceland had the first ever female president.

 

[Sigel]

Harold Holt, the then-prime-minister of Australia, went swimming and just disappeared. Not many people seemed to care. Also, we are the only country that eats our national animal (kangaroo) and every poisonous animal has never heard of overkill. eg Redback spiders catch tiny flies and inject them with enough venom to drop a horse. Victims of box jellyfish stings have been known to be sedated, pumped full of morphine, unconscious, and still screaming from the pain. Koalas look cute, but their claws are very sharp. If you ever go into the bush, watch out for drop bears.

Dear god, what is a drop bear? It sounds cute, but it will probably kill me horrible.

America is south of Canada.

How about this?:

America is a continent, not a country...
