American arrogance?

I'm not delibarately trying to have a pop here but i while back i saw a question saying that Europeans should stop using Yahoo answers because they are not American and the internet is an American invention

So do any Europeans want to add to my list of European inventions that by the same logic, Americans should stop using.

Television
Telephone
The Locomotive
Electricity
Electric Lightbulb (contrary to popular belief this was not first invented by Thomas Edison but an Englishman named Joseph Swann)
The English Language

any more suggestions welcome.

The English language also has French, Celtic, Gaelic, Scandinavian and Latin roots but it's still European.

Well said.
I have compiled another list of American" inventions" that they might find interesting.

1. Talking to loud. 2. Tacky Clothes.3. Fat arses. 4. Moral high ground.5. MacDonald's !! 6. Crap Cars. 7. Crap TV Shows. 8. Dumb **** Presidents (JFK being the exception) 9. Friendly fire (Fecking Morons) 10. Checked Jackets (Yuck) 11. Talking to Loud (again) 12. How not to respond to a Disaster (New Orleans) 13. Imprisonment without trial.
14. Sycophantic adoration of celebrities 15. Talking to loud (again) 16. Global warming 17. Drive By's 18. Complete lack of sophistication. 19. Complete lack of style
20. Rampant Paranoia.
I feel so much better now and God bless the USA.

Electricity was not 'invented' per se but discovered. The English language is German in origin.

Arrogance an ignorance!!!!

The internet, as we know it, was invented by a Brit called

Tim Berners-Lee

Americans have colonised and are now trying to control it.

worst thing if for everyone to stop using Chinese inventions, that would throw us back to the stone age.

if you don't mind id like to add some kiwi ones
electric fence
atomic energy (we split the atom)
flight ( it was two kiwis who flew first)
cant think of the hundreds of other inventions we kiwis made but theres tons

but honestly that was one arrogant American who posted that notice, and he probably voted for bush
i have met and love many of yall.
lets not start something for a few rotten eggs

English has a bit of Greek don't forget

Rockets (medieval Chinese)

Pizza
Beer
Sex Toys (medieval Japanese amongst others)
Porn (medieval Japanese)
Christianity (invented in Rome in the 4th century)

Add Common Sense!

I know a lot of Americans that live here that moved here from europe... Accent and all and you know what? I don't give a crap, their cool people. Let me tell you a secret, the guy that was saying europeans shouldn't use Yahoo answers is an idiot, he is probably a 12 year old punk that's overweight and has no friends so he uses the net to make himself feel better by ragging other people. Why worry about this little punk, forget about it my friend. He's a loser! Just as a note, America is for everyone, it's not a title for a specific race, or nationality, it's not a label to seperate those people from these people, what I mean is america is just as much europe as europe is. As far as the language goes, the english language is english lol, and we have spanish people, chinese, welsh... there isn't on language for america, english is just our standard.

Democracy
Vertical take off and landing aircraft
Swing wing aircraft
The system of latitude and longitude lines

Amongst many, many others - but they wouldn't know that would they?

Lets see the question! Any unbiased, fair minded person would want to see your source before submitting an informed answer.

at the end of the day, does it all matter???? im afraid to say you are showing a bit of immaturity. i dont think it matters who invented what. what are people going to do....take all their inventions back??? that would be difficult LOL.

though i must say, some of these answers that add to your list are funny..LOL. its cool :).

They are too numerous to list but the jet engine would have to go and for that matter so would the computer,the first computer is still in the British museum for all to see,they can't use X Ray any more.No more rockets for them,radio,Cd's and who said they could use bicycles,no more hovercrafts or their descendants,tanks.OMG,I could go on all night.
What do we get in return,junk food,junk T.V programs,global warming,high school shootings,loud and I do mean LOUD tourists.and too many others,I could go on all another night.

I invented belly button fluff. Anyone found collecting or using it owes me.

That is all

COME ON NOW THE AMERICANS DID INVENT HAMBURGERS.....(and probably cows)

Probably most things ever invented or discovered (America is a new country).

-Firearms (see how they get by without those!)
-Aeroplanes (sod the Wright brothers, Leonardo Da Vinci)

by the way, to whoever said it...I thought hamburgers were from Hamburg?

***
EDIT: haha to whoever said "imprisonment without trial"

The Internet is not solely an american invention,they have packaged it and developed it but not them alone..American arrogance and conceit as usual..Dont forget THERE ARE NO KINGS OR QUEENS ON INTERNET<NEVER CAN BE OR WILL BE<LOOK AT THE NATURE OF THE TECHNOLOGY

THE COMPUTER!!!!! IT WAS INVENTED BY JOHN ATANASOV WHO WAS A BULGARIAN DO A SEARCH ON IT IF YOU WANT.

every country has had its own contribution to modern society, without america we wouldnt have the simpsons and without india we wouldnt have curry and without england we wouldnt have cars (invented by henry ford)

America (apart from natives)..
but the side effect would be arrogant Americans back to Europe
