Especially after all they have done for the rest of the world. |
Haha, oh wow.
I don't want to get off topic here, but wow...
|
Wow <---- That was the best you could come back with? So tell me, how comfortable do you think the living would be in the UK if the US didnt step in and stop Germany during WWII? Not to mention what have they ever done for the world?

Ummmm, I think most of the allied would disagree with you there. you came in the last few months and took all the glory. We fought the war for years. Don't get me wrong, it was nice for you to have our backs but it's hard to appreciate Americas when you think you won it single handedly.
Also when you said what have the ever done for the world, well here's what we have done...
Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, William shakespeare, Francis Crick, Michael Faraday, Tim berners-lee, Charles Babbage, Alan turing, Stephen Hawking, James Watt, The Beatles, Queen, The Rolling stones, Led Zeppelin, Ismbard Kingdom Brunel, Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Charles Dickens, J.R.R. Tolkien, Alexander Fleming, George Stephenson, Charlie Chaplin, etc...

actually, you're wrong. WWII started in september 1939 and we joined in late 1941. Then we all fought until May, 1945. You're thinking of WWI when the war started in august 1914 and we joined in april 1917 and fought until nov 1918.
as for what we've done for the world... we invented the steamboat, the telegraph, the electric lightbulb, the movie camera, the phonograph, the airplane, nuclear weapons, the integrated circuit, the CCD, and the internet. Our military power also kept the Soviet Union out of Western Europe for more than four decades. That last fact alone should be enough to convince anyone that the US has done some good for the world.

yeah, cause that was such a great invention, how many civilians died in hiroshima and nagasaki?
|
well, they are the reason western Europe was never taken over by the commies. Also, they led to nuclear power plants, nuclear powered ships, radiation therapy, and the engines for the Voyager spacecraft and almost all other spacecraft that go farther away from the sun than mars run on the radiation from a few kilos of Pu-244, which can only be produced in macroscopic amounts in a nuclear reactor.
