Actually, Pizza was invented by Italians who had immigrated to America...

Do you seriously believe this? Pizza has been around in Italy itself for centuries man! There have been pizzerie as we know them today in Napoli since the beginning of the 19th century.
How come Americans think they have invented everything? Ford did NOT invent the car, he invented the belt conveyor and was therefore able to produce cars at an insane speed (for the time). The car itself was invented by German Daimler. Ferrari is an Italian and Porsche a German brand, they are not American.
When I spent a year in at a US high school people kept asking me whether we had electricity in Europe. Someone claimed we only eat bread cause we didn't have any vegetables.
Oh yeah, and French fries (also known as freedom fries
) come from Belgium, not France!
And why are the British so obsessed with Hitler? It emebarrassed the living muck out of me when I was in England (Bolton) and people kept asking me whether Hitler was still politically active and whether I would vote for him in elections. They talked about him infront of me, they must have thought Germans today still see a great leader and a great German in him, like as if we would take pride in that shitbag.
