[QUOTE=dr.hee]But they don't teach that shit at American schools, right?[/QUOTE]
I don't think so. But from what I've seen in high school books, let's just say there is [U]a lot[/U] more fanfare about everything American. So, in a way you can see why a lot of Americans believe that. :roll:
I was in high school here for a very, very brief time. High schools are a complete joke and it wasn't worth the time. Any half decent student from a Realschule should ace it without problems.

Before you're posting even more of that...you do realize that's nothing you should be proud of, right? Neither is any real invention. You know that I hope...
Besides...Squash was invented in England.

[QUOTE=dr.hee]Why are you posting the definition of the adjective when it's clear that I was using it as a noun?[/QUOTE]
Shit. I only copied half of it. I know it's highly exaggerated, but I posted it because it's funny. Go back to my OP and try to find the white text at the bottom of it.
I'll save you the trouble. It says JK (just kidding) under the image.

Re: Britain are kicking USA's ass in the Davis Cup Tennis.
It's crazy to consider how prolific the U.S. is at invention and discovery and single-handedly advancing society. We're a single country with roughly 23% of the population of China and 25% of the population of India, and yet we exert so much sheer dominance in so many facets of life. It's not just science and mathematics and technology and medicine, it's sports, music, movies, arts, humanities, everything.

I like the "we" part. Ingroup bias at it's best. Especially if you've not contributed a damn thing to the accomplishments others busted their asses off for. National pride is such bullshit :oldlol: The "sheer dominance" is excerted by a small group of the absolute intellectual elite...which you aren't part of. So what should you be proud of? That some scientist was born on the same piece of dirt like you? Congratulations.

This is not true but even if it was, why can't you make houses that don't look like refuge shacks that tumble over after a bit of bad weather.
