Also, if Americans didn't invent this and that, then someone else would have invented something similar at about the same time.

funny part is that out of the THOUSANDS of people they could have asks you simply edit out the normal people and let only the handicaps into the video, you could say all americans are stupid. if i went to england and asked a thousand people questions and only put the stupid people in a video i could make an argument that the english are all stupid, but i don't. why? because i'm not a stereotyping starfish, that's why.

point is that an american invented it first, that's like saying it's no feat that a the russians went into space first because an american would go there later anyway. it's just ignorant.

I knew all of the answers except 2. I'm American. I think its funny how out of ALL of the people they asked, ALL of them just so happened to be wrong. I think that might be a little biased.

stop saying things that have already been answered

There is NO WAY someone in Sweden wouldn't know how many sides a triangle have.

it's not about who made what it's about having the invention

[ßoltster]

I wouldn't go as far as to call it a superpower
A world power? Sure, but certainly not a superpower

I don't know what rock you've been living under, but China is in a better position to be the world superpower than america is.

[shafin25]

America is screwed.

[Aphtonites]

the ironic part is that an american invented the Personal Computer. AKA; Windows operating system ; and Apple, and hey look even facebook! Think about how much of a hypocrite most of you are before you go slinging insults at a superior country.

Heh, see what I did thar? :{3

And the rest of the world invented.

1.Cbrown towns.
2.Trains
3.Jet Engines
4.Coal power.
5.Civilization.
6.Cannons
7.Ships and boats.
8.Almost everything.

The USA just adapted them.

Feep can I add you on Facebook? lol

[Barnabas]

Meh, most people are just jealous of the USA. Even though things are not very rosy at the moment, it's still a whole lot better than in other parts of the world.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not blind USA fan, I realize there are plenty of problems over there. But all this hate and chauvinism is pointless too.

[Aphtonites]

I'm not really jealous of the USA, but i hate some of the people who live there for being unsensitive towards other countries and people in the world.

There are parts of the world much worse than Sweden, therefore most people are just jealous of Sweden.

[Katamari007]

For what? Having a lot of land mass?

I'm jealous of Russia :C

[Barnabas]

Many of you might not understand, but I actually do remember the times when the USA was the synonym of "Ultimate Cool". US made films, serials, series could be seen everywhere, everyone tried (and in some cases some still try) to imitate that feeling, that something which they regarded as "cool".

Sure, that changed. The current trend is to bash Americans everywhere. I admit, they roostered up quite a few things but sometimes they get more heat than they really deserve.

Stupid people? Come on, there are stupid people everywhere! I just can't believe that there aren't any ignorant, loud-mouthed stupid pricks in Sweden, Belgium, or anywhere in Western Europe.
Obesity? Well, the only place where obesity is not a problem is the Sub-Saharan region.
"Devil may care" attitude in environmentalism? Yeah, like we don't have China or India polluting everyone.

The one thing that I could really blame them for is the destabilisation of Iraq.

Honestly, don't even talk stuff.  America is a country of inventors.

In research and in practical terms, we have done so much.  Black holes, light bulb, string theory, the atomic bomb, the nuclear bomb, steam engines, cars, tugboats.

Edit:

Inventions?  Inventions.

[Belogna]

The reason why I hate everyone a little bit.

[Slugger]

And the rest of the world invented.

1.Cbrown towns. Ok, have no argument here
2.Trains Good for those people
3.Jet Engines Germans/British are smart, like everyone else in the world, doesn't matter where they are from, am I denying that? Im too lazy to check but I believe that British person created the first jet engine, but the Germans were the first to use it
4.Coal power. Ok then, good for them
5.Civilization. What exactly are you talking about? Civilization has lasted forever, there is no way to tell who was the first one to create a settlement.
6.Cannons The Americas were isolated, what the forget do you expect?
7.Ships and boats. Native Americans had small boats, canoes.
8.Almost everything. Again, look at 6. The Americas were isolated from the rest of the world for a couple hundred thousands of years, you're not hearing me say that China invented gun powder, and everyone else adopted gun powder from them?

The USA just adapted them.
 

The United States invented a lot of things in there 300 year period of existence. Go be starfishs somewhere else instead of treating the quality Americans like stuff.
