Care to tell me what was wrong in my post?
America claims to have invented the TV and some other things but really they just developed them further based on existing inventions. They take credit for a lot of other people's stuff, but some of them I'm not going to argue about like some British guy who was working on the lightbulb at the same time as Edison (Or that guy Edison apparently took the credit from) but missed the patent by a narrow margin having not submitted it immediately. Also because his version didn't work as well.
