Indeed. You might say the USA is famous for claiming to invent things which they actually didn't, like cars and trains and jets and electricity and computers and a million other things. You all should be happy with the things you really did invent - the transistor, the internet, nuclear power (sort of), rock music.

they fail about waist level. Plus we fucked them then rebuilt them about 50 years ago. After that they are riding on our dollar.

I think it depends on the person who is viewing the U.S. Somebody may see the entertainment industry, i.e. music, television, and movies. Some may note science and technology - that entire NASA thing and effectively it was ARPANET that became the internet (of course with the help of Al Gore). Some may see the sort of 'cowboy spirit' with muscle cars, Harley Davidson, cowboys & Indians. Others could see the military strength, and some can see the generosity.

So in essence I think it depends on the mind-set of the viewer and not necessarily what is being viewed.

ARPANET and MILNET were the precursors. I wouldn't say that was entirely US based as during the transition the hottest 'forums' (chat rooms) were LUTZ/Altgiers/TCHH/etc overseas.

I think you missed it... it wasn't the "joke" in your OP that makes you an immature little prick. Keep going though, show us how it's done with no effort.

It's true - Americans think they invented everything. Brits think they still rule the world. French think their culture is so superiour that simply sharing it with foriegners would degrade it.

Well, the syncopated beat was invented in America and IMO that may as well be everything

Sorry, that's Europe.

no kidding, the harvard endowment alone is larger than the entire uk higher education budget
where education is more socialized more is wasted...so there are a lot of under water basket weaver graduates in europe
