Weve given the World everything possible; theyd all be speaking German, Japaneese, Russian, or dead if it wasnt for the US. The US has given trillians of dollars of aid and hundreds of thousands of soldeirs to help the World.

Huge amounts of art, science, music, entertainment, technology, with help to develop and improve the lives of billions. We've donated more money than every other nation combined, and invested even more. They talk about OUR debt? What we are owed (national debt-wise) DWARFS our national debt to a minor annoyance (people leave that part out).
We have paid in blood for the freedom of their nations against conquerors in WWI, WII, and now in what is becoming WWIII.
We owe the world nothing any more, having paid it back many times over.
That's just the way we are. We love them. All of us came from them. We are them, representatives from all over the world, here.

Yes. All the different cultures that melted together created the American Identity. So yes, we can say we gave the world things.

Do you mean other that giving Europe their countries back after WWl and WWll, and defending them during the cold war against the Soviet Union? America gave the Middle Eastern countries the ability to get the oil out of the ground, gave them inumerable amounts of technology to make their lives better, advanced weaponry to keep defend themselves, not to mention the BILLIONS of dollars in foreign aid this nation doles out to the world each year
