To say that Americans are self-centered is a biased. When people say bad things about us, of course we're going to defend ourselves. And when you put us in the "they think they're all that" category, of course we're going to act that way. You're the one who gave us that rank. 2

Plastic is flexible. You guys hold on to all these old buildings because of their "historic" value when what you should be doing is tear some of them down and put up a parking structure. It's a pain in the butt to find parking over there. I mean, you guys are just resting on your laurels living off of what your forefathers left you instead of creating new stuff yourselves ;) 1

Mcdonald's: Without Maccy Ds I'd be a lot healthier. Coca-Cola: Biggest cunts in the world, I refuse to buy any product made by Coca-Cola, murder of union leaders, forced labour, etc etc. Don't you just love capitalism? I'd be richer without coke. Michael Jackson: Shit music, possible child molester. Wouldn't affect me if he never existed. Hollywood: Couldn't give a shit. Levi's: Couldn't give a shit. Of all the things that have come from America (none of which you had any part in creating), why did you pick the shittest? I don't hate American people, I hate the attitude of social Darwinism that permeates the American political landscape, and I hate the ridiculous amount of religious nutjobs, actually, that does constitute about half of Americans, but most of them have just been brainwashed so I don't necessarily blame them. Of course, this is a Joe Cavalry debate, what am I going on about -.- 1

Compared to Great Britain I'd say we've given more throughout history; franchises, people, bands, inventions, books, businesses etc.. For example: John Logie Baird- inventor of the television. William Tyndale- provided the first translation of the Bible from Latin to English (for all you keen Xians out there ;)) William Shakespeare- (the immortal bard, need I say more?) ---and hello we gave you The Beatles! J.R.R Tolkien- Lord of the Rings J.K. Rowling- Harry Potter Charles Darwin Monty Python Doctor Who Fish n Chips ;) Rolls Royce (aero engines of course) Sainsburys Sky HSBC Virgin Media The World Wide Web- courtesy of Sir Tim Berners-Lee Alexander Graham Bell- inventor of the telephone The Sex Pistols Cadbury's chocolate Billy Idol Charlie Chaplin STEVE-O (for all you Jackass fans) Jaguar The Oxford Dictionary Sir Alexander Fleming- discovered the life-saving drug Penicillin |
