What does America owe England?
This topic was addressed in the profanity thread, but it was dismissed as off topic, which it was. So I'm making it on topic.

Originally posted by lord xyzNot exactly being a patriotic American in this day and age, I'm not quick to jump to my country's defense, but I think it's a bold statement to say that owe everything to Great Britain. "If it wasn't for the UK, you guys wouldn't have done anything you guys are famous for." What do you mean by that, you mean if it wasn't for an imperialist monarchy that oppressed the colonists, we wouldn't have revolted? I'll give you that, but should you be proud of it? I honestly cannot think of another instance that you could be talking about.
Britain invented the H bomb, many famous people who lived in America were born in Britain, we were the ones who supplied the slaves and many more.You're government has always piggy-backed ours, in-fact, we're your only ally.
The 'H-Bomb' is a slang term for nuclear weapons, which was acutally invented in The United States by Eastern European scientists with assistance from the UK and Canada
"Many famous people in America were born in Britain" Do you mean the Founding Fathers, who left England because they were disgusted with the monarchy? Do you mean famous actors like Alan Rickman or Emma Thompson? My question back is, 'So?'
But the comment that I'm really focusing on is the piggybacking one. What exactly has America done that 'piggybacked' off of a British precedent?
