I'd say that, like many countries, America, despite its faults, has a lot to be proud of. Not sure that Anteater has done an accurate job though:-

movies - came out of France with the Lumiére Bros and Georges Méliés
Internet - usually credited to this guy, though as befits the invention itself, many countries contributed to the prelim developments that made it possible:-

Quote:
Research at CERN in Switzerland by British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989-90 resulted in the World Wide Web, linking hypertext documents into an information system, accessible from any node on the network
but jazz, yes, blues, yes, rock'n'roll, yes.

Outside of music, one of America's virtues is the ability to throw money and resources at something. To me they deserve credit for helping out the Brits in WWII and then rebuilding Europe with The Marshall Plan. Plus the whole man-on-the-moon thing, which was a spectacular milestone, even if it didn't produce much obvious benefit.

^ Nice bit of victim-blaming, jwb! You forgot to post about how rape victims are asking for it.

They did. Then they left. Seemed like the smart decision at the time I'm sure.
