High Five?! w00t

But seriously... You're whole discussion about Tampa being the Metal stronghold is really just off-topic, the fact that it is popular there has nothing to do with where it 1st came from.

Integral? Not really, just a wee wee bit of snobby British tea guzzling Christian fanatics.

Most the people here are not from England btw.......We made sure their women had abortions.

making an inaccurate stament and then throwing out a meaningless point about abortions? What's wrong with you?

Prove this one. Punk began in New York and Britain at about the same time, if not earlier in NY. Metal is something Europe should apologize for if it started there.
There is some debate on that I admit.

Television was invented by Philo Taylor Farnsworth, a native US citizen. The computer, I assume you are referring to operative digital computers, began in Germany and the US almost simultaneously. Bill Gates born Seattle Washington, and I am unaware of a period prior to Microsoft he lived in Europe ever, although he was knighted.
Ever heard of John Logie Baird? An English bloke who invented the tele if I'm not mistaken. Ever heard of the colossus? The very first computer invented in Britain, was it not? As for Bill Gates, by british I meant his family.

The 1st computer; although it's really irelevant as it has nothing to do with modern computers was actually found in Greece... It was Ancient Greek, it was used to work out some shit to do with stars... Can't remember now.

I guess I should mention this, America should be grateful that Britain supplied the slaves. It provided a lot of wealth, made people like the founding fathers rich, made a new race in America, helped develop the US economy and quite a lot more.

Britain also made music genres such Heavy Metal, Punk, Britpop, British Invasion, and more.

Prime Ministers such as MArgaret Thatcher, Tony Blair and John Major have helped US presidents into the making of the 21st century. (Although, that probably shouldn't be classed as a good thing) 😮

Inventions such as the computer, television, telephone. Bill Gates, is actually British.

I guess there's a lot of things, but now that I think about it, america has helped Britain also. I shall thank Robtard for supporting me on this. (And by that I mean, he told me to do it.)

Feel free to tell me I'm wrong now guys.

Britain did not really supply America's slaves, Britain had outlawed slavery long before the American Civil War.

Not sure what "new race" you're referring to? I'm guessing you mean 'new culture'? Even then, Britain didn't make the American culture, immigrants from many countries coming into America made it.

As far as music and any other pop culture you refer too, America nor any other country owes Britain for these things.

Prime Minsters helping U.S. Presidents, America and the Britain are allies and allies help each other, it goes both ways here. No real thanks needed.

Inventions...

Computer: Many different people are credited in one way or another for this invention, but Konrad Zuse is credited for inventing the first programmable computer in 1936 which lead us to what we have now; he is German.

Television: Edwin Belin is credited for what lead to the T.V. invention and he is English, but again, more than more person shares credit for the television(final product).

Telephone: Alexander Graham Bell is Scottish, so thank you Scotland!

Bill Gates: Born in Seattle Washington, so that would make him an American.

Yes, for the most part you were wrong...

They have our allegiance. What more do they need?

And sorry, VVD, Alba and Aguilera are mine. You can, however, have the Olson twins, nearly free of charge.

the inventions that led up to the invention of television are credited to John Logie Baird as well as Charles Francis Jenkis, an American, but the actual television was invented by Farnsworth.

no2 The Founding Fathers invented America while being part of England, that doesn't count as England inventing America. Of course, you can't really 'invent' a country

You are still wrong. If anything you should thank the US (and probably Russia) that you are even alive now, cause you couldn't have stopped us...weakos.

And Russia as an afterthought? 😬 Russia won the war, not america. And why would we thank them for that? They went to war when attacked, not before to help britain.

I know your post was probably a joke, but this is a part of history that really riles me up.

If America didn’t get into the war then Russia would have fallen, they could not have fought a two front war.
