Not meaning to bash anyone, but the "first person" to pioneer flight isn't really known because flight was developing in different parts of the world at around the same time.
Cheers,

The "pioneer" of flight was Michaelangelo (However he spelled it).
As for this thread -
Slightly humorus attempt at getting back at the Americans who like to blow America's importance in World standings out of all proportion -
It is impossible to compare the two countries -
Every country has its achievements and should be proud of those - Every country has made mistakes no doubt they regret.
For those who like to bash the Brits - Our army has (nearly) always faught along side you as brothers. And in many cases more Brits were lost by American "friendly" fire than the result of the war.
As for Brits who love to bash the Americans - Come on guys - Most Americans are just like most British - Smoke pot, drink beer and fuck women - Anything else isn't worth worrying about!

Its not the greatest country in the world. There are better ones. But it is a good country that offers a lot.
I made this thread as a joke, as I feel many times people in the USA do go overboard with being patriotic. Its something that other countries do not do. We in Britain are happy to complain, and will have no problems saying something is wrong (just see our papers).
Yet, in the USA, you never seem to be able to say anything is wrong.
Its almost seem as being a traitor for any American to say that they disagree with America. Almost as if you do not have the freedom of speech.
As I say, come to the UK, and all you will hear is people complain. For us to say anything is ok, is not done.
Ok, but the point was that he was using generic history as his examples, so I returned with some. We could debate everything about history, who killed JFK, did the US go to the moon, does Canada really have "Mounties", I mean the point of this thread was stupid in the first place. When you look at History Books, the Wright Brothers are clearly the name that is mentioned. That was my point.
?! We have mounties, just Disney owns the trademark to them.
I am from the UK and see lots of posts bashing you poor yanks, so lets say how good you are...
Well done for being first in space. Sorry that was USSR.
Well done for first man in space. Sorry again that was USSR.
Well done for the first space station. Sorry USSR, in fact they also had the second one in space too.
Well done for the best cars. Sorry, that goes to Germany, and Japan.
Well done for your food. Sorry I do not think beef burgers can match food from any other country.
Well done on the best comedy such as Charlie Chaplin. Ooops he was English.
Well done for the best TV presenters, such as Jerry Springer. Oooops again born in the UK.
Well I am sure you Yanks must be good at something, fastest plane? No that was Concord, and we brits made that. Books, no we brits have the best writers. Muppets Show, no that was filmed in the UK.
I know, you have a nice looking flag. So well done America, you have a nice looking flag.
I love it when US haters can't even get their hate right.
