Calm down pardna, I never used the word dumb. The word I used was ignorant. I didn’t mean they were ignorant of everything, ( in fact, it’s impossible for anyone to be ignorant of everything) I meant they are ignorant of/lack knowledge of issues unrelated to their own world or area of expertise.  It is all well and good for a scientist to be very knowledgeable about science, or a lawyer about the law, etc, but it is not unreasonable to expect such persons to also have some knowledge of the wider world ...and I don’t mean trivial details about some obscure topic; I mean international current events, world history, geography, etc...things that don’t require much effort to learn about.
Perhaps my mistake was singling out Americans as the only people guilty of this and for that I apologise...but I’m only basing my statements on my experiences.
Earlier this year I met this girl who recently went on a vacation to Barbados . I asked her how her vacation was and she said it was great but, “ I didn’t  know there were so many black people in the Caribbean !”  Guess where she was from   

So what if she was from the US...I can ask simple questions to trinis and get IGNORANT answers...jes llok at some of de posters here...frico immediately comes to mind and he is trini living and using good air in London.

So what if she was from the US--------I'm just recalling one of my many experiences with "ignorant Americans"..

I can ask simple questions to trinis and get IGNORANT answers..--------------- Hence my apology for singling out any one nationality..

frico immediately comes to mind and he is trini living and using good air in London. ------------Not even gonna get involved there

[Now I don't want to split hairs with you here, but some of these can't really be deemed purely U.S. inventions, although in most cases, the US dollar certainly ensured that they moved from theories to actuality:

2. Einstein and Ladenburg (both Germans) were credited as completing the early research that was used to develop the laser.

48. Sir Joseph Wilson Swan (31 October 1828 – 27 May 1914) was a British physicist and chemist, most famous for the invention of the incandescent light bulb before its independent invention by the American Thomas Edison.

9. The Manhattan Project contained US, British and Canadian scientists. However the first credited research was carried out by the Curies (french)

10. Sir Isaac Newton (1643–1727) invented the principle of the doubly reflecting navigation instrument (a reflecting quadrant or Octant ), but never published it. Two men independently developed the octant around 1730: John Hadley (1682–1744), an English mathematician, and Thomas Godfrey (1704–1749), a glazier in Philadelphia. John Bird, an English mathmatical instument maker) made the first sextant in 1757.

Better examples would have been the impact on vehicle manufacturing on production lines by Ford, and, yes, the efficient design of fast food systems, primarily by Ray Kroc at McDonalds in the late 50's early 60's.

USA may not be inventors of everything, ---you is ah madman

USA may not be inventors of everything, but they certainly know how to finance them and turn them into viable business models.

Dont forget Wernher von Braun the Nazi that headed the US space program in the 60s/70s

If Issac never published it, then what good was it to the world? Collecting dust in his library?  As for the Brits and the Sextant...again...John Bird if my memory serves me right developed a QUADRANT...I might be wrong always learned the first sextant was full designed and created in Philly.   Octant is also still different from a sextant..but you might say I am splitting hairs!

As for Edison I concede, he was known for tiefing people invention, bettering dem and patenting dem... he ahd too much English blood in him it seems.

Early research is one thing..perfecting the laser and using it practically is an entirely different kettle of fish..won't you say?  Glad to see you took time to google my list though.  Einstein was long living in the US and was a US citizen, as was Rudolf Ladenburg who was teaching at Princeton. Creating theories about light emission etc. is great, making them into Lasers, is as yankee as apple pie and blue jeans

Yes, the Manhatten Project was a mish mash of scientists from all over the world.

Initially the US were not interested in the atom bomb...mind you, Einstein was long a US citizen living in the US when the damn thing as finally perfected.  Hitler persecuted the Jews and Germany's loss was the USA's gain...still where was the bomb finally created, prefected?  USA

Forget the Curies, they did no work on bombs breds..Pierre and Marie are no more creators of the atom bomb than Hertz and Röntgen...the Bomb was US.

Adding the fast food system or the assembly line did not pass me, I just chose not to add them

Hence my opening comment: some of these can't really be deemed purely U.S. inventions, although in most cases, the US dollar certainly ensured that they moved from theories to actuality:

When the USA win the WC in Brazil, they will also have de world longest parade driving from Brazil to the USA. If England had gotten to Host, the drive would have been much shorter.

Elan, the USA basketball and baseball are really world championships..there are players from all over the world on those teams.
 

[Hardcore Trini]

Let's look at it like this: There is a big difference between the success of football and the media's dedication to make it even more popular. For all the permanent appearances by the US Men national team in the World Cup, maybe there is an effort (sub-conscious or deliberate) to ensure that American grown sport remains the most popular and generate the most money and ratings, among mainstream Americans. The writer exaggerated the idea that Soccer is dead. But I also believe more can be done for and with the sport. ESPN doesn't show a lot of games. They show a few games yes, but based on the amount of actual games and leagues one can understand that all games can't be covered. ESPN covers the games that they think might generate the most ratings like English and Champions League. They hardly touch the other leagues. Still one can't argue with the idea that showing ALL games is impossible. However I think it's reasonable to expect some results, game highlights and news surrounding the sport. It is possible to get some of this from FOX Soccer, but there is no mainstream network that covers the sport from that angle. If you miss a live or a featured game, there is no way to follow up highlights or results from that game or other games around the world. Even by showing the Euro now, as soon as the game coverage is done there is no mention of the tournament except for a few random ads. I know the feeling because after my 9-5 shift, I am unable to follow up on games I missed! It's like ESPN is half-way, half-way out with the sport.

The only professional sport which still uses the "world" talk in their championship is Baseball... and ironically they are the ones who should use it least because other international teams have gotten better over the years.  The NBA no longer refers to the champions as "world champions", nor does the NFL... so allyuh will have to find something else to bitch about lol.

  Who cares what you say?!  If they printing it in the paper and the team subscribing to the title then you don't need anything more.  You can't say they aren't calling themselves or being called "World Champions" and not accepting of the "crown".

LOL... I could only laugh at you yes fella.  Yes, MLB has been the only organization to "officially" use "World" in the championship title... but that wasn't the point... was it?  The NFL, the NHL and the NBA all "unofficially" at one point or the other used to refer to their champions as "World Champions", whatever the official title was called. None of them do so anymore... just MLB.  See how easy that was?
