    Alright, let's get this out of the way. This list is meant to be a joke. We love the United States, and we love the United Kingdom. We aren't trying to start a war. This entire list is meant to be in good humor. In fact, some of it is actually hard on the UK. (losing at sports that they invented?) So please, please, please don't take offense.
    While there are things that the UK does legitimately do better than the US, there are also things that the US does better than the UK. It flows both ways. For the purposes of our list, however, we chose to present it in this way for no specific reason as it is rather easy to pick on both countries!
    So, if you have never been to the UK or the US, we highly recommend you visit. At least once. As it stands, it isn't even all that different. Both countries speak English, have a common history, and share a similar culture, but there are still things that can be quite different. That is what we are trying to highlight in this list. Having said that, these are 25 Areas In Which the United Kingdom Totally Triumphs Over the United States!

    We've been getting a lot of comments regarding the "British inventing the internet". Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web. Americans created the internet. They are two separate things. The world wide web uses the internet to work. www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Internet/Web_vs_Internet.asp

      Yea the US created the internet, millions of interlinked computer networks used to transmit data. It encompasses information sent via email, chat tools, apps and a range of other online services in addition to websites.
      The World wide web is basically the pages , hyperlinks data and documents that hold it all together, so basically the internet as we know it would be useless and consist of emails an basic texts if it weren't for the Brits, you are welcome.

      Lily. Practically all the world sports originated in Britain or were first formalised in Britain.Soccer (as it was originally called), rugby, cricket, tennis and golf are just the most famous.Britain was the first modern democracy, had the first modern political system, began the mechanisation of agriculture, had the first scientific animal breeding system, introduced the first museums dedicated to understanding, the first modern zoos studying animal behaviour, introduced many modern sciences including geology, and palaeontology, mapped the world, introduced time zones - so that now the Prime Meridian runs through East London, invented the first telegraph system.Britain brought about the industrial revolution - inventing (manu)facturies, railways and modern shipbuilding. England abolished slavery in 1772 - the first to do so - which probably added to the determination of the American colonies to separate. Carried out the greatest act of genuine altruism in the history of the word - the fight against the slave trade. And civilised half the world. Preventing the murder of children who were deemed unclean and stopping widow burning - to mention a tiny fraction of the achievements of the most remarkable people who have ever lived. But now doomed to extinction, betrayed by their own sense of duty to the world. .

      Chocolate?? Cadburys, Fry's and Terrys are now owned by Mondelez Int (Kraft Foods) and have changed most of the recipes for inferior chocolate. Most products are now made in Poland.
      Mars are also USA owned and only makes a few things over here.
      Nestle are Anglo-Swiss but cannot or will not confirm which products are made in UK if any.
      So other than Thorntons and a few small manufacturers, there's really no such thing anymore as British chocolate. Sad but true :(

      Of course it matters and the reason why is that it dates back to knights on horse back. They hold the hoses reigns in the weakest left hand and hold the sword or lance in the strongest right hand facing his opponent and vice-versa. It also applies using swords or daggers in foot combat. The English and a few other countries correctly and historically drive on the correct side of the road and the rest of the world drive on the wrong side. Even the Romans drove carts on the left too.

    THE BRITISH INVENTED THE INTERNET!!

    • @list25
      @list25  8 років тому +78

      No. They didn't. The internet and the World Wide Web are two separate things. "The World Wide Web (WWW) is an information space where documents and other web resources are identified by URLs, interlinked by hypertext links, and can be accessed via the Internet. The World Wide Web was invented by English scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and peer-to-peer networks for file sharing. The origins of the Internet date back to research commissioned by the United States federal government in the 1960s to build robust, fault-tolerant communication via computer networks." So basically, you access the World Wide Web via the Internet. ~Mike

    • @liamc8102
      @liamc8102 8 років тому +49

      Yes, that's alright, we ruled half the world, including America, essentially creating the United states. Blowing you out of the water, does that put you to shame?

    • @liamc8102
      @liamc8102 8 років тому +45

      I never said anyone created America. I simply stated that the British colonized 13 states on the east coast of North America, which, once gained independence became the United States of America. These states never would have needed to gain independence if the British Empire had never colonized them in the first place and it's unlikely the 13 states would have united.
      Secondly, no one fled, it's called the British Empire for a reason. We conquered and ruled. And i completely agree with the two words "religious" and "bullshit" going next to one another, they're quite the complementary couple.
      Next, you seriously believe the United Kingdom is run by Muslims? Wow you're ignorant! Let me educate you. According the latest (2011) census, 87% of the population in Great Britain is white, as opposed to 13% of the population of Great Britain being other ethnic minorities. Regarding religion, only a small 4.4% of the population is Muslim, whereas, a majority being Christian at 59.5%, of which 93% are white. You, like many others are being fooled by the media and are oblivious to reality. Now, yes, that is the 2011 census and when the new 2021 census is released i guarantee you those percentages will vary, including the Muslim population living in the UK. However, i can also assure you that Muslims will still be the small minority that they are today. And, if a president that follows Islam is ever put in to power, that doesn't mean Muslims run our country just as much as any Christian. Religion is a belief system, a belief in god or a supernatural being, or fiction as i like to call it. Much like your belief of religion running a country.
      Lastly, you are delusional if you think Arabic will become Britain's official language.
      Wadaeaan lak jaddana, wakunt kays sadhij min alqarf.
      I trust you know what that means, and for the majority that don't speak Arabic, google translate is very helpful.

Modern computers needed one thing that allowed them to move out of the giant rooms they were in and into the home: the microchip, those were invented in the US. Along with the APRANET, which was the actual forbearer of what we now know of as the Internet. I'm not saying the US was the first to think of computers or the Internet or automobiles, etc… we just made them practical and mass producible so as to bring down the prices so virtually everyone could enjoy it.

      Dian I agree that it was a collaborative effort and America played a rather important roll. Still saying "America invented the internet" is incorrect.
      It can't be "correct and not correct" at the same time.
      It's better to say America made a big contribution to the invention of the internet, or something along those lines.

    • @jorgeriveramx
      @jorgeriveramx 8 років тому +1

      Initial concepts of packet networking originated in several computer science laboratories in the United States, United Kingdom, and France.
      When America developed TCP/IP they based their protocol in work that the French did before if I remember correctly.
      From that point internet has evolved a lot and many countries have done contributions (I'm talking about technology not content in the web).
      If we had to quantify how much America has contributed to the internet I would say that is around 35% and is the major contributor.
      But when someone say America invented the internet that's a lie.

      Nope. The internet and the World Wide Web are two separate things. "The World Wide Web (WWW) is an information space where documents and other web resources are identified by URLs, interlinked by hypertext links, and can be accessed via the Internet. The World Wide Web was invented by English scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and peer-to-peer networks for file sharing. The origins of the Internet date back to research commissioned by the United States federal government in the 1960s to build robust, fault-tolerant communication via computer networks." So basically, you access the World Wide Web via the Internet. ~Mike

      In my experience, the British REFUSE to complain the way Americans do, i.e. when it might actually do some good. In a store or restaurant, when receiving bad service or the wrong order, etc., British people just accept it at the time, and then complain about later to anyone who'll listen. They even get embarrassed when an American dinner companion tries to make it right. They just want to avoid any fuss. It's very strange and frustrating to Americans who are used to expecting to actually get what we pay for, even if that means opening your mouth in public.
