  • Those are just the notable in the world. Tell me what usa really made ? They didn't created the computer, they didn't created the nuclear, they didn't created the weaponry, they didnt created the electricty, they didn't created the fire, WHAT THEY DID ? war, the light bubble, the capitalism what else ? Actualy the only guy's that was really worthy in Usa were Albert Einstein And just by his name you know he's not even a real American.

    uhm,

    First of all, without the USA, Europe would be doomed.

    Tell me what country you're from and I'll persuade you that USA deserves to be a superpower.

    I'm from Canada, and if that wasn't of the USA the current world wouldn't be doomed ecologically + about the war.
    Who produce too many co2 per years ? Who doesn't want to reduce it ? Who has played wayyyyyyyy too much with the nuclear. At time there's 'power' in a country there's always a bad side to it.

    Okay. Where do I start.

    CO2 per year? Take a look at China's statistics.

    Okay. Without USA, Hitler would have dominated Europe. Enough said.

    Without USA, USSR would have wiped out Europe.

    Without USA, Britain would have still obtained Canada as a colony.

    Instead of trying to bash an INTELLIGENT PERSON why don't you go learn some proper English first? Or go to school and learn some proper grammar. Your so disrespectful to someone trying to have a conversation with you. Grow up.
  • radio <---- Austria
    telephone <--- Bell = Canadian

    first airplanes <---- Oh rlly ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_early_flying_machines

    I didn't check about the others but seriously get your fact straight

    I'm born french, been raised french, and did learn english by myself. Now try the same with my language.

    But sorry if I don't take the time to type my sentence in a proper grammar, I don't wish to be a grammar nazi it's just there's some trolls getting on my nerves thinking USA made everything worthy on this planet.

    Does it look like I could care? Because someone disagrees with you, you think there unintelligent. Really?

    Are you really this uneducated?
    USSR would have EASILY wiped out Europe. 9 out of 10 Germans in World War 2 were killed by Russians. They had a large army. Cold War ring a bell?

    ...I'm speechless that you said "no he would have killed all the jewish people"

    First of all, Hitler overran France, leaving the only "allies", Britain, left in the war.

    Without USA, D-Day would have not occurred.

    And your colony reference was just stupid.

    A colony is under a leadership/government of somewhere else.

    Pretty sure England's Parliament does NOT run Canada.

    Stay in school please.
  • Now now saul, he means well.


    But we all know canada is a terrible useless country full of beer swigging french speaking idiots who do nothing but play hockey and chop down trees.

    I'm not a grammar nazi. But if your gonna bash someone, at least say it right. Instead of sounding so uneducated. No one has ever said the USA created everything. Saul pointed out some of things USA DID create during WW1 the Roaring Twenties and WW2. There not trolls because you disagree with them.

    What if Alexandre wasn't an emperor.

    Your arguments are funds on nothing but 'what if' look Canada DID invent the telephone
    Canada did invent all the stuff i said before. So what's your arguments ? Real one no 'what if'
  • omg, what part of california is this? these people are utterly stupid, i live in california (sacramento) and i know WAY more about canada than those [insert bad words here] people. and that accent was so stereotypical!
  • They're.

    WW1, the Roaring Twenties, and WW2.

    Nazi.

    You're.

    If you're gonna bash someone, at least say it right.

    It's an obvious that the world was doomed without USA during World War 2.

    Say yes/no to this.

    It was the 13 Colonies->USA revolution that inspired the French Revolution.

    Without the USA being independent, Canada would not have been independent. Meaning, that Canada IS dependent on the United States.

    Say yes/no to this.
