I think that the country bashing should be stopped and that the mods should do something about it.

Yes.
It is entirely your fualt.
You have finally got your revenge.

country bashing is bull**** (unless its funny).
to have "why america sucks","why europe sucks" is daft.......

i just couldnt resist a go at the original line that i quoted, it amused me anyway.

the reason european countries invented all of those things is because you were around alot longer than the U.S, about five times, really. And for all the time that you had you didn't invent very much. Our rate of invention is far superior to yours.

hehe nice argument.........

i ONLY picked inventions since 1800 onwards (apart from the water closet - 1778) !!!!!!!!! ie same timeframe, genious.

5 times longer ???? europe was "created" in 1000 AD eh ??? mmmm

for the record-
most inventions (patents anyway) occurred after 1750 really, after the industrial revolution, and have been growing exponentially since.

the USA has a great record inventions wise, even accounting for a large population and resources. so does Europe.

i myself have invented bugger all

I'd like to invent a cat flap that the bloody cat would use, instead of stood in front of it mowing plaintively until i get up and let the bugger in or out.

why are cats always on the wrong side of a door ???

in, out, in,out..................
