Heh. I think you mean seriously :-)

Anyway grades have nothing to do with intelligence factor, and it's obvious Bush is borderline retarded.

The Americans and the British have actually been at war twice. The American Revolution and the War of 1812.

Fine then. Be like that.
You take our language*, culture, ethics, religion and then run off. Boo hoo.
(* It is questionable whether English is Bush's first language.)

Actually, if it wasn't for Britain, your continent would probably still be dense woodland with some buffalo. We could also argue about the morality of "invading sandy countries" and the arbitrary sabre rattling that seems to be modern American foreign policy.

Well simple way to settle this:

Notable British Inventions:
The Electric motor and electromagnet
The Computer and principles therein
Mathematics
Newtonian Physics
Telephones, Fax Machines
Gas Mask
Internal Combustion and Jet Engines
The Train, the Car, etc.
Modern Medicine, Penicillin
Chemistry
The English Language
Radar
Elastic Bands
Sewing Machine
Steel and Ironmongery
The Submarine
Television
Quilted and non quilted toilet paper
The Umbrella
Vacuum Cleaner
Viagra

Notable American Inventions:
Condensed Milk

If I've offended anyone, wahey!

OpenLoop

Rory, you can't claim to have invented a science! you can say that you improved that science. Besides, Mathematics was attributed to by many civilizations over centuries and you come today and claim that British INVENTED math :eek: . I think that you've offended the human race (except for Birtish people)

uman

Well who was invading sandy countries alongside our troops?
What "prime minister" was eager to do the bidding of the madman bush?

the British invented hardly any of those things. Oh, and the English language is just corrupted French and German thrown together in a haphazard manner!

Rory

LOL, you said this thread ought to be a bit more controversial, I was just helping.
Yeah English is a slutty language, bit of Anglo Saxon, Greek, Indo-Asian, and Latin as well. W00T!

Come on don't go whining each other off. British people are nice, cept for the fact that their English is cocky, American people are nice, cept for the fact that some are so far off this planet that they think the United States is the only country on earth.

Just learn to get along and respect each other. Respect comes both ways.

Btw I did mean a good and serious thing

Ok, first off I only know like 1 British person and that's Oobs, and he pwns...

Second, I've been to England and taken a liking to their way of thinking(just in downtown London)third, I HATE George dubba. And Fouth: Whoever stole my blueberry muffin (cough cough OOBLE) better give it back or there will be some serious problems. And I mean, computer-failing-code-rotting-modem-sparking-wine-drinking problems..

Sorry, I'm a little happy because one of my friends is going to be working at the same job as me.

Como Esta? EL YAY!!!

Sorry, Cipher - eaten it. Anyway, yes, the British invented programmable computers (not the abacus, which some say is a computer - it computes, doesn't it?) and a load of other stuff. Not mathematics though - I think mathematics past multiplication and division can be accredited to the Babylonians and the Greeks (in that order).
