I'd say the Chinese have you guys beat. You just had a knack for putting the inventions to aggressive use against other people.

I won't deny that, but are they wholly to blame? I say, if they want to ruin their own economy, let them; but why does the rest of the world insist on following them over the cliff? They are to blame for creating a crisis; but surely we are equally guilty of not only letting them get away with it, but making it worse by spreading the depression.
If our markets wouldn't react with a kneejerk every time Wall Street spasms, the crisis would stay in Wall Street; and I bet that it would then not even be as deep there as it is now with our feedback.

More good? like what? Invading and enslaving all of south america. invading and spreading disease all throughout N.andS, Amercia?

Or How about the holocaust...
Or maybe genocide in Bosnia...
What about the 2 world wars started in Europe...
Or maybe we can dig back even farther, how about the crusades, which are indirectly responsible for the animosity and distrust that muslim nations feel towards the west...
The Inquisition comes to mind...

Get a clue $hit for brains, europe is part of the problem.

I don't defend all of Americas actions, but in the last 100 years, the US has done more good for the world than all of Europe combined.

bul***it. Europe might have done lot of bad too in past, but when comparing to USA, europe is like sweet little innocent girl. Ongoing wars, careless environment policy, nuclear attacks, bringing down many goverments around the world, etc etc. And the point is that USA has done all this within few decades or so. And most importantly, if you compare todays USA and todays Europe, its like comparing devil to angel.

Plus we europeans invented the western culture we and you yanks have today. In fact, we have invented practically everything. USA has only existed for what...230 years??...

You guys can afford to have your economy take a bit of a hit if you can afford all that.
