It amazes me how much people bitch about American's yet without America, a lot of shit wouldn't exist anymore, and the spending habits of American's, if it wasn't for that, the "best" traffic you would get is probably Canada, because they are pretty much mini-America.

You're talking about no internet and then the best internet traffic we'd get?
First of all, no one can dictate exactly what would happen in the world if the US had never come to be, however one thing is for certain, we would have still advanced. As much? More? Less? All possibilities because no one knows for certain which nations would have done what.
But there's always someone to step in and take charge. If it wasn't the US, someone else would have. Britain? Germany? Russia? China? Who knows.
But humans have a need for advancement, progression and that wouldn't have come to a halt just because there were no Americans.
All that aside, being a dominant marketplace doesn't make you automatically immune to criticism when you screw up. You could be the friggin pope but if you kill someone to get to a sale at Walmart, people are going to criticize. No matter what you've accomplished in the past.
What amazes me, since you're so amazed, is how the rest of the world is supposed to idolize the wonderful US of A and consider every American as a God no matter how pathetic you become. We must never say a bad word, because we owe you the world!
