Stephen Hawking is Britich, not American, look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hawking
Maybe you should have said J.D. Salinger, that would have been a great choice... only that he is dead... :(... he was a great man.
But you are right, the USA has many talents scattered around...

Yes and No. Yes because America caters to the lowest common denominators. Reality TV, Anna Nicole Smith, George Bush etc. No because of people like Stephen Hawking and Kurt Vonnegut. My point is that America is a stupid and lazy country with some geniuses thrown in.

I am sure people do, but U.S. is a very young country, much younger than say Egypt or the Islamic countries, which have been around forever it seems. So give the U.S. a break--we are just starting out. Everyone makes mistakes, esp. when they're young, same with the country. Not that this excuses the idiocy of the current president, but U.S. as a country should not be judged solely on one really bad president.

There's nothing primitive about a country where the majority of people walk around with a gun in their bag,and a law that allows them to use it.
