We like to pride ourself in being a melting pot of different cultures, each individual being allowed to produce what he likes to his/her best ability. "America" does not produce anything; our individuals do.

We gave up after being unwilling to tear a nation up to destroy disorganized militias in Vietnam, yes. Afghanistan and Iraq were stupid decisions but ongoing. They weren't serious wars. You seem to forget that we won WWII and WWI.

USA no longer has the power to accomplish what great nations must, if it ever did. The loss of your false sense of superiority may take some time to accept. Look at the British.

"They should be sitting across from Mao's Tomb, near the Forbidden City, in the meeting halls off Tiananmen Square in Beijing."


Yes, lets have economic summits near the tomb of someone who caused the greatest famine in human history. Good plan.

Yes, we can use the meeting halls off Tiananmen Square. Can you have someone show them where the tank ran over the protester? I'm sure they all remember that scene.



We are a mongrol nation, you betcha! We don't claim any pedigree or specific racial heritage. We claim them all. Yep, we gave the world American Idol and blue jeans, and they beat a path to our door to get them.

You are just pissed that we used everyone else's ideas and made money off of them.

Thats the thing, Threedee, he doesn't care about accuracy. Its all in the "America is dying" doom & gloom posting.

He probably lives in his Mom's basement in Cleveland, and the closest he gets to China is fried rice takeout.

Sounds impressive on the face of it but consider, if you will, that the Chinese came up with this...

Yes, a wash-basin, some say sink, in the shape of a lady's shapely legs and arse. The communist-based orientals have you beat hands-down here i'm afraid.
 
Electricity was not invented. It is a natural phenomenom first described by William Gilbert in 1550. He was the first person to experiment with electricity and publish his findings. Gilbert was not American.

The electric lightbulb was invented by Humphry Davy in 1802. Davy, who also invented the arc lamp in 1809, was not American.

The first electric elegraph was invented by Pavel Schilling, a Baltic German - in Russia.

The telephone was successfully patented by Alexander Graham Bell, a Scotsman.

Radio was invented by Alexander Stepanovich Popov, a Russian, and commercially developed by Guglielmo Marconi, an Italian.

Television was invented by Vladimir Kosma Zworykin, a Russian, or John Logie Baird, a Scotsman.

Computer was first invented by German Konrad Zuse.

The World Wide Web was developed in 1989 by English computer scientist Timothy Berners-Lee for the European Organization for Nuclear Research. He wrote the first web client and server in 1990. His specifications of URIs, HTTP and HTML were refined as Web technology spread.

Cell phones were invented by an American, Martin Cooper.

Pet rocks were not invented. Gary Dahl, an American is credited with developing the marketing strategy.

"Nukes" likewise cannot be said to have had an inventor, Italian Enrico Fermi achieved the world's first sustained and controlled nuclear chain reaction. USA is the only nation to have incinerated thousands of noncombatants with nuclear weapons. Congratulations.

Aircraft? In 400 BC the discovery of the kite in China began man's interest in flying.
