It just occurred to me, that very few significant inventions were ever created by Americans and this is despite its massive population, resources and power. Even prominent American "inventors", such as Thomas Edison, stole all of his ideas from superior (non-American) scientists, such as Tesla and only did so to turn a profit. Sure, the internet and mobile phones were created by Americans, but these ideas were not entirely original.
Take Scotland for example; penicillin (one of the most important discoveries ever), television, the telephone and most importantly GTA were all created by Scottish people.
Even Ireland, a country which has been historically oppressed, has individuals, such as, Robert Boyle (the inventor of modern chemistry) and John Holland (who invented the modern submarine).
I don't even need to talk about English inventions -- there are just too many.
Are Americans just really fucking stupid or am I missing something?

You don't say so! I guess other nationalities invented everything from scratch. I mean come on. Americans do claim many things done by Europeans who came there for various resaons including refuge but it doesn't make real American inverntions any less important. Calm your butt, mate, you have some complexes.

By that logic, Greece gets credit for all the world's inventions, because they invented science, and without it we would have gotten nowhere

Bullshit. Europe was many decades behind America until relatively recent times. They might have had some great scientists but they failed to use them as well as America did:

>in 1950 the level of labor productivity in western Europe was only half that in the United States...In fact, it has been claimed that the percentage of the French population having access to electricity and an automobile in 1948 was roughly equal to that of the United States in 1912.


>...the London Crystal Palace exhibition of 1851, when British and foreign observers were shocked and impresse... by the advanced tools displayed by the Americans...

>...when the displays were erected it came as something of a surprise that the American section was an outpost of wizardry and wonder. Nearly all the American machines did things that the world earnestly wished machines to do—stamp out nails, cut stone, mold candles—but with a neatness, dispatch, and tireless reliability that left other nations blinking... Cyrus McCormick displayed a reaper that could do the work of 40 men... Most exciting of all was Samuel Colt’s repeat-action revolver, which was not only marvelously lethal but made from interchangeable parts, a method of manufacture so distinctive that it became known as the American system.

European observers in the US constantly remarked at just how much better off average people were than their European counterparts. America was adopting new technologies much faster and wider than Europe.

Poor tiny Brit brain can't understand context.
We listed a hundreds of things that we invented that changed humanumity. And you called it trivial.
And all you can do is mention one little add on that your country contributed and I suppose you think it's not trivial.
At least I'm not so pathetic I can admit other country's have made great inventions.
All England has every done is try to control and take credit for everything else.
You've contributed nothing.
Anyhow, I've been to England, I did not leave with any sort of impression of British intelagence. Just idiotic easy wemon, wannabe thugs, drunken fools and stuburn fatasses that can't even speak proper English.

True but the point is America was ahead even before the wars setback Europe even further. Some more quotes from that great book:

>living conditions for a substantial share of Americans living in small towns and rural areas were actually much better than in Europe. The dismal urban conditions applied only to certain large eastern cities and may have been better than the standard among the lower classes in European cities of similar size.

>Even in 1870, Americans ate relatively well compared to Europeans. Available data for 1870 estimate a total of 3,029 daily calories per capita in the United States, as compared to about 2,500 in the UK for the same period. A Swedish immigrant is recorded as exclaiming that “even the greatest gourmet” in his native Sweden “would be amazed” at the bountiful supply and variety of foods in America. The English novelist Anthony Trollope “found the United States to be one of the few countries in the world where meat was eaten two or three times daily.”

>The telephone was a uniquely American innovation. Not only was it invented in the United States, albeit by a transplanted Scotsman, but also its spread and usage far exceeded that in other countries. The number of telephones per person in 1900 was four times more than in England, six times more than in Germany, and twenty times more than in France. There were as many telephones in New York state as in all Europe.

The state I grew up in produced Mark Twain and Edwin Hubble. That's just two people I can think of off the top of my head who changed science and culture forever. There are of course more minor contributors in science and art. My great uncle was rich from his patents for instance, but they were mostly minor patents for job-specific tools he invented over the course of his career.

Your proposition isn't really valid though, due to the way things work here. Most people who are exceptionally talented or intelligent move to the bigger cities on the coasts for a great portion of their lives, mostly for economic opportunity. It's a shame for the bigger picture, because often those same people who move out to the coasts do so for financial incentive and big dreams, and they rarely have children as a result. Rarely do they succeed in their dreams, even if they make great money. It's like we take the best genes and throw them away, while we subsidize the absolute shittiest genes that they can flourish.

It was bullshit desu. I personally derive keks from Brits, of all people, when you talk down to burgers for being cultureless and without achievement. Partially because it is an absurd position, for multiple reasons. But more so because, the British seem to truly hate being British.

Nothing is really British about your most important city anymore.
