is some respect. Without us, y'all would be speaking german. How about some support and brotherhood. I mean....after all, we did invent the rolling stones, mathematics, porno, the english language, the greatest country the world has ever and will ever see, harry potter, and wine.

Change the word yank to English people and you might make sense. English people invented the ENGLISH language, porno comes from Asia, wine was made in ancient times by Romans/Egyptians etc, the Rolling Stones are English (Americans merely created the magazine), Mathematics is greek and Harry Potter was written by a Briton.
So, the greatest country the world has even seen is merely a matter of opinion but I'm concerned about your mental welfare as you seem to think you can see into the future and decide which is the best country "the world...will ever see".

No American would use the word "Yank." It is used strictly about Americans by people who aren't.
Or by southerners to refer to Northerners, but never by Northerners about themselves.
So it's obvious that you're not American.
Harry Potter was written by an Englishwoman.
Pornography has been around since man could draw and think in abstract terms about sex.
Wine was known in the Biblical times and before, around the Mediterranean basin.
The ancient Arabs invented mathematics.
So not only are you not an American, you're not very bright.

Rule #1--If you want to pretend to be American, don't refer to yourself as a Yank. We never use that word unless it's a southerner referring to a northerner and we'll almost always say Yankee instead of Yank. It just not a normal part of our vocabulary like we usually don't use corridor, mum, britches, ...well you get the idea. We know what they mean, but don't use them. So when you use certain words we can pretty much tell where you're probably from.

It's a thousand pities your country didn't speak German. It would have stopped you savaging our beautiful ancient language to death. As for the list of so called achievements, all I can say, politely, is POPPYCOCK!

Ha, good one there. Anyone who believes the US invented the ENGLISH (there's a hint there) language truly is an idiot.
But you didn't 'save' anyone except yourselves in WWII. Everyone played their part - without any one player then everyone would have failed.
