Post what your country has contributed to the world.
« on: May 08, 2009, 09:16:19 pm »
Okay, so here are the rules.

Each time you post, you have to write something that your country has conributed to the world in any way, shape or form. Let's try to keep this civil, okay? No country-bashing, no flaming, although your choice may/may not be criticized. :P

Once a substantial amount of things have been listed, I will start listing them on this post.

Okay, so for my country:

Canada has provided the world with the greatest maple syrup...ever. No exceptions.

The... atomic bomb? Does that work?

Well, we did make jazz, which is cool, I suppose. But I'd rather go about this on my homeland, Sweden, than on America. America is... kinda lame, right now, to tell you the truth.

Thy Father, which art in heaven,
hallowed be my name;
my kingdom come;
my will be done,
in earth as it is in heaven.
And punish you your trespasses,
while you forgive them that trespass against you.
For mine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.

Oh come now, its done a few things worth mentioning. They provided the Hackapells, for instance, who helped found modern warfare. And wasn't there this one chap during World War 2 or something who killed a 1,000 Soviets all by himself? And I hear they have some good beers, but I really havn't had any, due to my age.

I'm sure there was some other stuff, but they all pale when compared.

Well, we've given you tea (yes, tea is a British invention dating back to around the 1680s), and ... Other, equally boring stuff.

Hitler... WWI... WWII
well, those aren't all that good, but imagine, without those things, there'd be pretty much no War movies, no WWII ego shooters.

Hm. I'm pretty sure the Song Dynasty in China first came up witht he concept of putting tea leaves in heated water to create a nice, refreshing drink. But point taken.

I think Britain's largest contribution to the world was giving most of it back. Apart from a few bits we particularly liked.
