Like as per usual our American friends believe the world fuctions around them. Oh dear!!! Instead of been more down to earth and admitting that the Internet and in particular the web was a multiple nations invention. (the w.w.w was created at CERN European Agency by an Englishman named Tim Berners-Lee). They go on about saying, we did this and we did that.
The truth is that you guy should be greatfull that Great Britain was the nation that colonised you and not the Spanish that left a mess in the rest of the American continent. Thanks to the U.K. you Americans and Canadians enjoy the standard of living you have.
But in the end it's not regular Americans fault that your government and media feeds you with all that rubbish about the land of freedom and the american dream, instead of telling you the truth about your place in History.
This is not to say you don't deserve been the largest economy in the world, just making you think that there is a lot of factor that put you there. Not that you guy are above regular humans.
