No one can deny Great Britain has been a centre of scholarship and knowledge for hundreds of years. I have a hard time believing anyone could argue with you on that matter.

What?

No one invented light. I'm going to assume you're talking about Benjamin Franklin - the man who discovered electricity. He is American. Your logic is flawed.

I believe that my country (USA) has done more bad than good.

Also, Alexander Bell was born in Edinburgh. Italian-born Antonio Meucci was later credited (in 2002) as being the father of the telephone - which he called the teletrophone. It's debatable as to whether or not Alexander Bell actually invented it, as Meucci had several dozen working models which he did not have the money for to patent.

How can you not see the logic in that if more people had a gun, then less people would get shot?

I second this and if guns were carried on a regular basis i think everyone would be as paranoid as a scared WWII solider.

Now I have to pull out the truths again.

Lots of people carry guns. It's a good thing. A gun is used in defense every 13 seconds.

Brazil, now, what did we make. Hmm.

Well, Santos Dumont did make the first convenient airplane, unlike the Wright Brother's plane which had to be launched from a catapult. But he only achieved that in France, not in Brazil, even though he is Brazilian. We also did give birth to one of the best national soccer teams in the world, with Pelé in the 50's.

Eh, I guess we didn't do much.

Other than that, I'd have to consider Italy since I come from an Italian family. Italy did many great things, but always enters a war with their declaration of surrender signed. /joke


shit's amazing

USA
We created some of the best and most popular movies worldwide. Sure, we're not the best in terms of economy or intelligence, but what other country can say they created the worldwide phenemenon known as "Avatar"? If not that, we can get credit for at least "Star Wars". In terms of other fictional stuff, we got Batman and The Simpsons!

I can't be fucked explaining why Australia is good and has done stuff but I can say that our SAS is better than the US's green berets and UK's SAS at combat.

Finland:

* Damn good locks
* Heart rate monitor
* Damn good axes
* Has the best gun laws in Europe, while still retarded
* School shootings that led to more retarded gun laws
* Improved the AK-47

I could come up with more, but I won't.
