I'm back! And I brought Sears Tower merchandise for everyone!!

America was amazing. Everything is so big, the buildings, the space, the helpings of food...
There were...were...DOUGHNUTS!!
Okay, okay. We flew to illinois with Air India, complete with in flight entertainment. If there's anyone here from India then I'd like to ask...are all your sitcoms that naf? Because those were some naf sitcoms, I didn't even know the language, I could still tell they were naf.
So, anyway. The first week as spent with cousins in Naperville, including little squishy cousins with impressionable minds who I turned into raving Zim fanatics, then every day we'd drive out to Chicago say 'Wow' then drive back at about 11PM.
Yay!
The second week was spent in this little cottage...thing...well, I say cottage. It felt a bit like a trailer without the wheels but it was nice enough. Anyway it was right next to this beach, wal a few metres and you could swuim in lake Michigen. I've never liked beaches but thyis was because all the beaches I've been to have salty sea water, yo ho. This was a lake, a freakkin' big lake.
Also, it was close to Wal Mart. Wal Mart is where Sainsburys shoppers who've sinned go when they die.
Okay, now it's time for...
Reasons by America is better than England
1) People are more friendly, if someone asked me if I was lost in London I'd probably run. In Chicago (murder capital of America apparently) people justy want to help
2) Everything is bigger and prettier, in england everything is bunched up and within walking distance. America has so much space it doesn't know what to do with it all.
3) There's a certain philosphy the Americans have on life which I greatly respect; 'Everything can taste better with frosting'
4) America has Hot Topic, which, for those of you that don't know, is a branch of GAP for people who hate GAP. It's amazing!
5) America has the word 'pacifier' and the word 'band-aid'. Pacifier sounds like some of sort of alien weapon
"Glorgo! The baby is crying again!"
"ACTIVATE THE PACIFIER!!"
Zap Zap POw Ka-FlAn!
6) Churros.
Reasons why England is better than America
1) No Arby's
2) Again, no Arby's
EDIT: Wow, I got pretty erractic with my typing nearer the end. BUT I'M TOO LAZY TO FIX IT!!! BWAHAHA! CHURRO'S FOR ALL!
Bah! America Sucks! But then again I think most places suck if they aren't Scotland, what can I say I'm a Patriot.
There are too Arby's in USA! I know because I live there! Well, I've never been to one but I always see the ads for Arby's. Glad to see you like America! Another good point that you forgot to mention is that everything costs less around here. Well, I hope you want to come back in the future! Maybe you should try flying to America and taking a cruise there on the Norwegian Dawn! That cruise ship is tight! Anyways, cheers!

Well, I think that Scotland is for haggis eaters! And don't make fun of the red white and blue! Anyways, what is haggis???
He wasn't saying there isn't any in the US, he was saying England is better than America because we don't have any :P
Yes. Have you ever eaten an Arby's?
*vomits
Arbys is the best! You blaspheme Arbys? lol
Eggie, you can get churros in Spain, where they invented them. My wife loves "Chocolate con churros". I don't like them myself... basically they're just deep-fried pastry with frosting. Now, deep-fried Mars bars... that's another matter
Jbiker Which Red, White and Blue? Britain, France, Porto Rico, Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands....
Haggis is a Mammal about the size of a Small cat except it's Pig-like in proportion and spiny.
I mean what did America give the World?

This is haggis. (http://www.smart.net/~tak/haggis.html)
Anyway, we Scots prefer our deep fried Mars bars now....like SSH says....*
Eggie, glad to hear you had a good time in the ol' U.S. of A.
*note - I've never actually tried deep fried mars bar......or haggis for that matter......
EDIT - Mephofopolis, calm down a little. No need to get so angry when you did insult his country first ("Bah! America sucks!"). Most people tend to have a very stereotypical view of Scotland (we're a bunch of haggis eating, kilt wearing bagpipe playing people who live in very close quarters & everyone knows each other & we go to witch burnings....probably), & in most cases there's no point in trying to change it.
Wales on the other hand, now if THAT isn't a nation of sheep hugging, angry people....
You had to ruin it didn't you!
Battered Haggis is so damn tasty! Shame on any Scot who hasn't eaten it! I've never tried Deep fried Mars Bar but I would if I had the Chance.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v86/Haddas/Other/SSHnHAGGIS.jpg
That's haggis! And it's another random stereotypial Scotsman in clan-outfit eating it! We all know scots are bare-arsed underneath, they've got dandruff on their shoes!

3) There's a certain philosphy the Americans have on life which I greatly respect; 'Everything can taste better with frosting'
You get sick of it after a while. :)
I figured out the "frosting conspiracy" when I was 10. The feed it to us and feed it to us and then you lose your will to be different. There are people, though, who saw the inevitable ( and inedible) doom, and wen't off to start Hot TOpic. hehe, just kidding.
I stopped eating frosting when I looked at the lables and saw what's inside em.
You can't eat anything here anymore without getting Trans Fats and Hydrogenated Oils! And the stuff that tastes the best doesn't even have them.
I read someplace that Europe dosen't have them. Is that true?
Anyway. Glad to hear you had fun on your trip. :)
Well we all know that the Finnish are.... are.... What is a Stereotypical Finlander like?
Welcome back!
It's refreshing to hear a non-American actually have something good to say about the place!
In a little funny side-note. I've actually been to Naperville. I have a friend who lives there. Well, actually she lives in Lysle, but we went into Naperville a lot (I have a World's Gym T-shirt from the Worlds Gym I worked out in while I was there!)
Glad you had fun!
Oh ... and against my better judgement, I actually like Arbys ** dm ducks!! **
There is a conspiracy that I made up that haggis has a brainwashing liquid inside of it that makes you believe that Scotland is the best and you are a true Scotland. If everyone starts eating haggis, than the US will be overridden by brainwashed zombies who think they are Scotts! Oh, and I forgot to mention that the virus from the Resident Evil game would be in the haggis. So, what's the lesson for today, kids? Don't eat the organs of helpless animals, but instead eat things like hamburgers, which are made from the MEAT of helpless animals!
-JBiker51
[Edit] We could probably spend the rest of our forum-posting time talking about brainwashing with organs, conspiracies that telemarketers are actually robots, and that kinda stuff. And I would participate! And make it funny! Yay!
Bah, you havent lived America until you eat a dozen deep fried Twinkies. I had 2 heart attacks and a stroke by the 7th one.
Organs are meat you dumbass.
and Scotland is better than America. I mean we invented TV, Telephone, Grand Theft Auto and Countless other things! you invented (partially) the Nuke.
See the brainwashing haggis has already gotten to you! You're just a zombie typing all of this now! Oh, I mourn at your grave at Washington, D.C. the man who died from brainwashing and zombie turning haggis.
Why would My grave be in Washington? I'm not American, I don't Live in America, I've never been to America and Damn I'm proud! At least I have a Brain to be washed, unlike the President of a Certains Country:
"Our enemies are Cunning and Resourceful, But so are we!
Our Enemies are constantly finding new ways to Harm our country, but so are we!"
too bad the Scottish didn't invent the sense of humour...
since JBiker is joking around Meph...
You were once a respectable attorney in the state of Washington, D.C. , had a wife and kids, and was a very happy man. But one day, you made the horrible mistake of trying foreign food...haggis.....and became brainwashed and died! Soon after, you were zombified, turning you into an EVIL SCOTT! That's why you hate America so much! But, if you visit America once more, the effects will be reversed and you will be a great alive American attorney again!
-JBiker51
Man, I've always really wanted to try haggis.
I know he was joking, What an amazing life I've lead and I'm only 13!
I pass the world's biggest haggis factory every day on the way to work

You know, having spent a week in America for Mittens, I still have no idea what Arby's is.
(http://www.jlrob.com/jobimages/arbys.jpg)
I think they serve stuff like roast beef sandwiches.
That oven mitt mascot alone make me cringe whenever I hear the word "Arby's."
Arby's is ok... you gotta give them props for trying something different (http://www.arbysrestaurant.com/switchHome/switchHome4.gif) from the average fast food. However, I hate it how they pretend that, because they're different, they have all these tv comercials that make them look like it's sophisticated, adult food, which really is not. If you get sick of eating too many burgers, then you go to Arbys and that's Arby's only purpose in life. Also, they serve sweetened iced tea!
I've been to Chicago, twice, and I've never gone to the Sears tower. I saw it and it was pretty big and I got scared and cried.
HEck, I live in New York City and never one went to the top of the Empire State Building, or the Statue of Liberty. Never went to the top of the Twin Towers either, which is kind of a depressing thought.
My girlfriend and I win the award for 'taking the longest to understand something' because after we ate lunch last week (at Arby's) I finaly got that Arby = R B = Roast Beef ... I've been eating at Arby's for almost as long as I can remember and I NEVER clued in on that before.
D'oh!
I love the sign on the left of the picture ... now that's a company that's really eager for custom :P
I used to like Arby's, because I would get a Yogi Bear toy with my meals every time. It was a coloring book, or something like that. I recently ate at Arby's with my family (maybe DM's one... :D). My dad was rushed to the hospital because of a kidney stone that night.
ARBY'S CAUSES KIDNEY STONES!! BAN!!
...hey, it could be true.
Edit: Bah, DM. I never realized that...

That's what it means?! Wow, I'm slow. Then again, English is not really my first language, so word play sometimes doesn't get to me.
I wonder if it used to be called Roast Beef's back in the day... that would be hilarious.
>and Scotland is better than America. I mean we invented TV, Telephone, Grand Theft Auto and Countless other things! you invented (partially) the Nuke.
Er, I hate to disagree, but Bell was an American citizen when he invented the telephone, and no Scotsmen were credited with the invention of TV:
"The credit as to who was the inventor of modern television really comes down to two different people in two different places both working on the same problem at about the same time: Vladimir Kosma Zworykin, a Russian-born American inventor working for Westinghouse, and Philo Taylor Farnsworth, a privately backed farm boy from the state of Utah."
http://www.physlink.com/Education/AskExperts/ae408.cfm
You'll notice Logie Baird came out with a not-as-yet-fully functional version a year after both Zworykin and Farnsworth displayed functioning models to the public.
No offense intended, and I personally like Scotland, but facts are facts are facts :D
Logie Baird invented Mechanical Television first (He also blew up Glasgow's Power Supply, What a swell guy!), they made Electronic being Modern Television a bit later, yeah they invented Television as we know it but we did it first, and being an american citizen does not make you americanbut despite that let's see you discredit GTA!
I like Arby's too!
Unfortunately the "local" one is up the interstate a bit, so it's a little inconvenient...
I read a huge book on the invention of television, and the apparatus that the Scotsman came up with was nothing that ever could have been as practical as the CRT. It was huge, created tons of heat, and could not do grayscale. It was merely a projection of shadows. There are tons of individual inventions that came together to create the television, and it can't even be credited to two people alone. There were quite a few people working toward it, none of them were ever credited with its invention and they didn't make any money from it.
That being said, what the hell are you thinking saying America only came up with the nuke? I can think of more than 20 world changing inventions off of the top of my head. Here are some.
Radio (Tesla, Immigrant, Marconi is a fraud)
AC Electricity (Tesla)
Tesla Coil (Tesla)
Brushless AC Induction electric motor (Tesla)
Vacuum Tube (Tesla)
Wireless Electricity (Tesla)
Airplane (Wright brothers, natives)
Assembly line process (Henry Ford, native, made vehicles affordable)
Solar Cell (Charles Fritzl, native)
Light bulb (Edison, native, but questionable)
Radar (concieved by Tesla, perfected at MIT)
The transistor (Invented by an American prisoner, I believe)
The computer as we know it today (IBM and Apple, not the British Enigma decoder)
The rockets that sent the only men ever to walk on the moon
The best jets in the world
The best submarines in the world
You can tell I'm more into electricity than other stuff, and I really like Tesla.
I don't know WTF you're thinking arguing that Scotland is somehow superior either technologically or in innovation.. That just seems like a fight against logic. If you were arguing for Germany, England, or Russia maybe, but Scotland?
Atlantis beats all of you...
.... :-\
P.S. Scotland had lots of awesome inventors.
Apparently the US Navy was invented by a Scotsman. ???
http://www.magicdragon.com/Wallace/thingscot.html
I think the problem here is distinguishing between Natives and Immigrants (Example: This page (http://www.150.si.edu/150trav/remember/amerinv.htm) shows Einstein as American).. for me, if you are going to renounce all formal ties to your country and leave, you're no longer of that label. But that's just me I guess.
Fine America Gave the World some stuff, Scotland Gave the World Some stuff Other Countries Gave the World Some stuff. Ended.
but we still made GTA
An entire country made GTA? Jeez, good thing I didn't watch all the credits...
And besides, England gave us AGS so England wins hands down
Well technically, it wasn't just England that gave us AGS. Wales had a part in it too... :P

You're all wrong!
HELM WINS!
Eggie, glad you enjoyed your trip to the USA.
Speaking of Arby's. You can't beat the 5 for 5 roast beef sandwich special. 5 mouth watering roast beef sandwiches for 5 dollars.
Plus, throw in some horsey sauce. (not made with real horses, just a creamy horseradish sauceÃ, :))
Aww, i am getting so hungry now.Ã, Plus, i also sound like an advertisement which i didn't mean too.
But, still hungry anyways.Ã, :)
Mmmmmm... Arby's. Their Market Sandwhiches are fantastic. Honey mustard, red onion, tomato, leaf lettuce and sliced meat on nut bread.
I was also all set to reply to the inventors thing "Alexander Graham Bell was Canadian! He invented the telephone in Brantford, Ontario!" But then I bothered to actually look it up and it turns out I've been wrong all these years.
But there is an Arby's in Brantford, which I always go to when I drive through there to go visit my grandma. Therefore, this post has some sense of cohesion.

No, so far as I know. I read the story about a prisoner accidentally discovering it as a sidenote in a book about a totally different subject, and now I'm unable to find any information pertaining to that at all. It was perfected in Bell labs though, for sure, years after Tesla's passing.

AGA is actually the only Welsh guy I know, but I still feel the need to make fun of the Welsh at every oppurtunity....
.....Funny, that.
*disclaimer - in my experience, AGA is actually a pretty awesome guy & I will not hear a (serious) bad word against him*
Speaking of nationalities is pretty thin ice to skate on.
Tesla was indeed an outstanding genious, but he didn't move to USA until he was like thirty or something, and all his education and upbringing took place in Croatia.
His genes and schooling owe nothing to America (he spoke a weird amount of languages; hardly a traditional american trait), but America provided the means necessary to invent all those things.
Also, listing "from the top of your head" like that isn't proving anything; most countries can produce a similar list. Look at these Swedish inventions (first consider that Sweden is the size of an average American state):
The Propeller
The first attempts at designing a new device for propelling vessels took place in 1802. But the device commonly used for ships and aircrafts was patented in 1836 by John Ericsson of Sweden. The propeller is only one of many things invented or improved by Ericsson. In U.S.A he is probably most remembered for constructing the battleship Monitor, used with great success in the American Civil War by the North.
Tetra Pak
Tetra Pak, a paper package system for non-carbonated liquids, was invented in 1944 by Erik Wallenberg and Ruben Rausing. It is particularly useful for dairy products and has become a great export success.
The Adjustable Spanner
One of our most common and usable tools, the adjustable spanner, was invented by J. P Johansson in 1892. It is implied from its name that this tool could be adjusted for screw nuts of different sizes. It has since become an export success.
The Separator and the Milking Machine
The inventor Gustaf de Laval has made two important contributions to the dairy industry. His Milking Machine (1896) rationalized a time-consuming everyday chore on the farms and reduced the demand for farm laborers. The further handling of the milk was simplified by the separator, a device used for separating cream from milk. Like many useful inventions, it is of a rather simple construction. It basically consists of a drum, which can be rotated by means of a crank. When fresh milk is poured into the rotating drum, the cream fraction, which is of lower density than the milk, tends to stay in the middle, while the heavier milk fraction is pressed towards the edges.
The Ball Bearing
The modern ball bearing was constructed by the Swede Sven Wingquist in 1907. Similar constructions had been used in mechanical devices since the Middle Ages but Wingquist's construction represented a true improvement, which has been of great use to the car and shipbuilding industries, among others. The company that started producing the new ball bearing, SKF, still holds a strong international position.
The Zipper
It should be admitted that the first person obtaining a patent for a zipper was an American. The first construction that could be used for practical purposes, however, was made by the Swedes Peter A. Aronsson and Gideon Sundbäck. In 1913, Sundbäck took out a patent for the new construction, and this model has been used ever since (the only change being that zippers today are sometimes made of plastics).
The Safety Match
The match as such is not a Swedish invention, but since the obsolete type could set fire to their owners just as often as to candles and cigars, they needed improvement. In 1844, Gustaf Erik Pasch removed the flammable phosphorus component from the match-head and added it to the striking surface of the match-box. The result was a safer product, which was further improved by the Lundström brothers, owners of a match factory in Jönkping. In 1855, one of them, obtained a patent for the phosphorus-free match and that marked the beginning of a very successful era for the Swedish match industry. At times it accounted for 75 percent of the world production.
Dynamite
During one of his experiments with the explosive nitroglycerin, the Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel made an important discovery. As he accidentally broke a bottle containing this chemical, the substance happened to mix with the material protecting the bottles. The result was a product with the same blast effect as pure nitroglycerin but much less dangerous to handle. Nobel called it dynamite, and the money he made through it enabled him to create the Nobel Foundation with its familiar Nobel Prize.
The Turbo Engine for Cars
In 1976, Bengt Gadefelt at the SAAB car company constructed a new type of turbo-powered engine for cars. It had the advantage over other constructions that it would start working automatically when extra power was required, for example at high speed. A few years later, SAAB presented the world's first commercially available turbo-powered car to the market.
Innovations in Telecommunications
The modern telephone was constructed by a Swede with the name Lars Magnus Ericsson. At that time, telephones had the mouthpiece built in, while the speaker was connected to the telephone by a flex. Ericsson's new idea was to combine the two into a single receiver. In 1876 he founded the Ericsson company in Stockholm.
The automatic exchange was invented in the 1940's by a man called Axel Hultman, together with a team of engineers from the Ericsson company. Since then, over one million exchanges of the 500 type have been manufactured and sold.
The computerized AXE exchange is also a Swedish invention. It was introduced in the mid 70's as the result of a cooperation between Ericsson and Telia, the major Swedish telecom operator. The AXE technology offers several new services, such as three-part communication and automatic wake-up calls. It is now installed in most parts of Sweden and has also been introduced on foreign markets.

I remember in high school some buddies and I used to go to Taco Bell and get 10 tacos for $5.00! Good times. ;D
If you read the URL you can see a major invention the Swedes gave the world which he forgot to mention.
So what are we saying, that a country is defined by the number of inventions that its citizens have come up with?
Well, I'd like to continue this "my country is better than yours" discussion by saying this:
England sucks.
Not as much as Wales, of course, but it still sucks really hard. Lousy weather, nanny state interference, expensive goods, high taxes, Tony Blair... the list goes on.
One day I shall move to Australia!!
Or Canada.
Or America.
Or Germany.
Or Sweden.
Bah screw it, anywhere.

Well my country sucks more than yours.... Any reason to argue.

I don't know... I hate England as much as the next man, but as a non-drinker, non-smoker, non-luxury-item-enjoying second-hand-clothes-purchasing student the taxes don't bother me that much.
Plus the weather's great.
Glad you enjoyed your trip Eggie, but it always baffles me when people talk up American politeness. What's wrong with being generally unfriendly towards people you don't know?
Ah, England's the country for me.
QuoteThere were quite a few people working toward it, none of them were ever credited with its invention and they didn't make any money from it.
You should check out that link I posted shbaz, physlink is quite respectable when it comes down to factual information, and you can find out a lot about Farnsworth online. Here is an article in TIME online about him as well:
http://www.time.com/time/time100/scientist/profile/farnsworth.html
Philo Farnsworth never really made a lot of money from his invention (thanks to RCA), but it's pretty safe to say that his design was the standard that televisions were built on, not Zworykin's, etc (Zworykin's didn't even work properly anyway).
QuoteI don't know... I hate England as much as the next man, but as a non-drinker, non-smoker, non-luxury-item-enjoying second-hand-clothes-purchasing student the taxes don't bother me that much.
I take it I can add non-driver to that list, too ;)
Having said that, taxes don't bother you too much as a student, I guess ... it's when you start working full time and find out just how much of your money ends up going to the government that it gets depressing :P
QuoteHah. Read Stupid White Men by Michael Moore if you think you'd be better off living in the US...
But I think you're forgetting something:
(http://www.agsforums.com/images/docubot.gif)
I'm not forgetting how to spell 'Michael' though...
Think yourself lucky, birthday boy ... any other day of the year there'd be a cutting, witty insult coming your way :P
Bah, my point is more that America can hardly be dumbed down to only inventing the Nuke, and Scotland being the land of innovation. It's a logical fallacy. I'm perfectly aware that other countries have significant inventions.
America was the first country to capitalise on animation.
BAM!!
