The greatest country that ever existed

[heavycola]

And who gives a toss about air conditioners?

The Wheel - Mesopotamia
Sanitation - the Etruscans
Antibiotics - Sctoland
Vaccination - Western Europe
Steam engine - England
Combustion engine - germany

sliiiightly more important...

I honestly don't care about this list but I really fucking hate the tub-thumping jingoism that was OBVIOUSLY going to mar this already inane thread.

But then:
Infomercials - US
Morbid obesity - US
Nuclear weapons - US

So well done you.

And it was a close call on the third of those, HC, Germany nearly got that one as well as the combustion engine.

And what was that "BS" by "man on the moon"?

Hopefully it was meant to point out that a great deal of that effort was due to German scientists such as Von Braun - the "space race" was sometimes seen as "our Germans vs their Germans".

Please tell me there are no "Apollo was a hoax" believers out there.

Surely bigotry was invented by the French. The smelly bastards.

The sun never set on the British Empire.

The British Empire was the largest empire in history and, for over a century, was the foremost global power. It was a product of the European age of discovery, which began with the maritime explorations of the 15th century, that sparked the era of the European colonial empires. By 1921, the British Empire held sway over a population of about 458 million people, approximately one-quarter of the world's population. It covered about 36.7 million km² (14.2 million square miles), about a quarter of Earth's total land area.

Not to nitpick, but there is NO WAY this can be proven...

[Ruben Cassar]

... television
... the airplane
... man on the moon
... the light bulb
... air conditioning
... the Internet
... the automobile
... the personal computer
... (probably other big ones)

... The USA. (though I've serious doubts about our ability to continue this trend)

...

As far as I know a Scot invented television not an American.

The automobile was not invented by Americans either.

Air conditioning? Not so sure.

And we all know the Americans never landed on the moon. That's a hoax. The footage was made in a studio!

[Ruben Cassar]

this is obviously gonna be bias, most of the members on here are from the USA or canada

Therefore I'm going to vote for China.

lol those comunist bastards?
meh...

They is teh future!

The future of what? China is just about underpaid workers with no rights. It seems it's also becoming the most polluted place on earth!

After the earthquake that happened there Monday, I'd say they are gonna be set back a bit.

I dearly hope this was made in jest.

You mean you believe it???

[Pedronicus]

If the Americans landed on the moon, they would turn hubble to point at where they knew they landed and show us a picure.

Soon we'll know for sure because Japan is mapping the moon in the same sort of detail as google earth.

I will believe america landed on the moon when a space telescope / mapping satellite shows me images.

Isn't anyone slightly surprised that no country has splashed these pictures across the media by now?

punk rock,

the Ramones were the first, and everyone knows it. those other bands maybe have spread the message a bit more thoroughly and been more popular, but the Ramones are credited with starting the sound...
