Bad things America has given the world

Remove all ads!

Just a little FYI:

The North American continent is the only land mass that has less of the greenhouse gas CO2 in the air moving off of it than in the air moving onto it. This is due to the huge forests which we still have over here while you Euros have wiped out 'em out on your continent.

Now back to your regularly scheduled America-bashing, already in progress.

 

Hmmmm. maybe because of the fact that Europe is being "heavily" exploited for 2500 years, and that is happening in the states for 450 years??
Before that, the indians killed a bull once in a while

 

@shralp - we have been in europe a little more time but if the americans would have been given the same timeframe then bye bye enviroment...

@ejsmith - what did you mean with "ebonics"

 

They have give us great cars, movies,food tastes, wapons, space tecknology, freedom, safe for any wars in europe anayway and good beer hehe!

 

JC Denton, theres a good things from america post,m please put that in there.
Shralp, that may be true, but America isn't willing to sign agreements to actually reduce the amount of pollution being pumped into the atmosphere. That is where the pollution statement comes from.

Now we see why I put Shralp in the good things from America post . You did see that didn't you?

 

-The ability to blame someone else for your own stupidity.
-Public Education
-A target for terrorists
-Commercialized Holidays
-Madonna

 

Ivanji, son of Loki,

People lived in North America before the Europeans arrived. I descend from them. They managed to live here for thousands of years without destroying the place. So your argument is weak.
I still agree that America produces to much pollution. I also believe that every industrialized nation in the world produces too much pollution.

I hope your kidding. But even in jest that 'Red Indian' comment was uncalled for. Only half of me is offended though, seeing I'm only a half-breed. The White half of me almost found that funny.

Damn Mr. Funk, you took the words right off my finger tips. It sure didn't take long for the Europeans to damn near lay waste to North America though. People need to think about who built the USA and wrote it's Constitution before they bash American values, it's Government, etc. Next time someone wants to rip into the States, take some time to research your family tree, you may find that you are distantly related to one or more of the Thieves that took this land for their own and helped build the USA. Heck you may even learn something about Pre-America in the process.

Ivanji, son of Loki, Ebonics is basicaly slang. Don't know much on the subject, but I do know that some people were trying to pass it off as a ligit language. I'm not sure if that ever happened though. Do a search on ebonics using Google. I did and found quite a few sites with info and definitions. Won't link them here though due to some very unsavory content.

Didn't you see the J/K? Of course I was kidding, it was just a joke i'd heard.

Sure did. That was the reason for my opening statement. Anyway the feeling of being offened has passed, as it usually does. I tend not to let ignorance bother me for too long. I was just pointing out that your comment is racist, whether it was a joke or not. I'm sure if a comment such as that was made about another race, one of the mods would have stepped in.

 

I didn't think it'd actually offend. Fine i'll change the race. Now it'll be big bad white man.

Bad things America has given the world...This thread, since we invented the Internet.

 

Internet evolved from DARPA dummy

well, ok that was American, but Dutchies made the Hard Disk, CD and DVD possible, HAH!!

 

Internet, invented by an Englishman, a student actually . Was just developed and then put into use by the US military. Will post the evedence when I sort through all the crap I have knocking around on my HDD. Another bad thing America has given us, a flase history. Usually through Hollywood. If you need examples look at Braveheart, and also the film where "America" gets their hands on the code in a nazi submarine. Wasn't the Yanks as far as I know, it was belgians.

 

Decent Americans do not claim Hollywood as a part of the US. As a matter of fact, I guess another of the bad things we have give the world is the Socialist Republic of California.

 

LOL Good one Dark Wolf.

 

Vermillion - If the code from the naval subs is the WW2 enigma then it wasn't belgians, and certainly not the yanks. Enigma was cracked in england and the first replicas were given to use by the poles. Some codebooks were captured by the allied navies (mostly britian, a few french perhaps, not american. did belgium have a navy at this time? if so then perhaps but i doubt it).

 

It was cracked by the English yep, but it was Belgians who got it out of the sub on that mission IIRC.

 

I'm just going to point out the Einstein was a GOOD person. Not a bad person. And he had nothing to do with "nucleair" weapons.

As for Von Braun, which I get the vague impression is spelled wrong, I admit I don't know who he is.

As for more things?

They have no idea who anyone else is. There is a Canadian show called Talking to Americans
where this guy goes to American Cities and talks total nonsense to Americans, who really believe it.

Examples:

He convinced several businessmen and women that
at the age of 75, Canadians are ceremonially put on ice floes and sent out to sea to die.

He convinced them that Canada has its own fifth season, where it is constantly dark for three months of the year, and got them to suggest names. My favourite was "Canadark."
