| NeedlesslyCanadian There's some pretty cool stuff on that. Some issues though. Because fark you, this is Fark, that's why: 1. Resilience? You mean, like everywhere else? 5. Bald eagle? An animal that has nothing to do with politics? And which has been used by many other empires of the past? 12. Tupac's hologram. *facepalms* 18. The White House. The one you built after you upstart yanks pushed too far north and we burned the old one down in response? (Sorry, had to sneak that one in XD) 20. Snuggies. REALLY? 21. Basketball. Not even sure why they included this one when they even mention that it wasn't invented by an American... 24. Mormons. REALLY? 26. Capture the flag. Er...how is that American? 30. Lady Gaga. *facepalms* 77. Internet memes? No, you *don't* get to take credit for things made popular by worldwide snarkers |

I was listening to the "Team America" theme on the way to work this morning, so I'm getting a kick. Stay classy, CNN. |

NeedlesslyCanadian: 21. Basketball. Not even sure why they included this one when they even mention that it wasn't invented by an American... It was invented here though. We're a country full of immigrants. Almost everything invented here pre 1970 was invented by someone from somewhere else If your country wasn't so shiatty, he would've stayed there. |

ecmoRandomNumbers: Let's see... Woody Allen, Lady Gaga *click* OK, that's enough of that nonsense. Also saw that and went.. Ok... At least MLK Jr. was on the list. Funny how no political figures, other then MLK Jr., was listed. Can not argue the fact that politics is a horrible business no matter what country you are from. |

47. Credit Cards. The small, plastic cause of and solution to life's problems. If you're going to do the Simpson's reference, do it for alcohol and quote the whole line. You have "Happy Hour" on the list, so you have the opportunity. Don't waste it on goddamn credit cards. |

NeedlesslyCanadian: 18. The White House. The one you built after you upstart yanks pushed too far north and we burned the old one down in response? (Sorry, had to sneak that one in XD) Remember the good old days, when your capital was in Toronto, then we burned it, and you moved it over by Quebec? At least our capital is still in the same location. |

Meh. No mention that Jesus loves us best of all. |

At least our capital is still in the same location. I assume you mean York, which was never capital of Canada. It was capital of the province Upper Canada (which was pre-Confederation), and which became Ontario later on. And, as part of Toronto now is still the capital of Ontario today. |

But, I am also aware hot chicks playing volleyball don't need title IX. They are of after all, hot chicks playing volleyball. |

#101 Scared crapless of Canada and Canadians. Between wanting to build a border fence, flying drones along the border, or realizing we can whoop your ass any day we want in hockey (or Trivial pursuit..the original edition), Americans appear inherently frightened by their mighty warlord neighbours to the north....as well they should be. . .. .... Bow down to our frosty terrorsomeness before we smite thee with Tim Hortons frosty ice cappuccinos. |

indarwinsshadow: Scared crapless of Canada and Canadians. American schools don't teach the War of 1812 (which makes it a running gag in comic strips because it's so obscure to kids). What's hilarious is that the clock expired soon after Canada reached the end zone but Andy Jackson made a late hit out-of-bounds, claiming he never heard the whistle (tho to his credit he probably didn't). It takes American revisionist derp to claim an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty deep in their own territory after the game had been settled somehow resulted in enough points to tie or even win the game. |

Got to #2 and immediately stopped caring. Title IX ensured that my high school track team of 120+ boys got exactly as much funding as the 15 member girls team. Same for crew. /not blaming the girls, just hate the way Title IX was interpreted |

joaquin closet: 24. Hardworking, industrious MORMONS Why is Fortune magazine putting that in this year, I wonder? Maybe because unlike other Religions or churches. The Mormons got a lot of jokes told about them this year and last. Including The Book of Mormon musical and such and they all took it like a man and did not complain. You say one bad thing about Muslims of the Church of Scientology, heck, even other areas of Christianity and even Atheist, and there will be blood to pay in the back lash. |

| Stuart Wolfe Woody Allen? Woody-freaking-Allen? Now, you just KNOW the people making this list feel bad that they couldn't put Roman Polanski in there somewhere. |

Same for crew. /not blaming the girls, just hate the way Title IX was interpreted Also less scholarships are given to men who don't play hand egg. So all men's real football, rugby, crew, tennis, swimming, volleyball, 'rastlin etc. all have less scholarships; thus, less emphasis is given to the diversity of men's sport even at the high school level. Not saying title IX purpose had good intentions but it didn't consider the secondary or even tertiary effects on sport in society as a whole. Clearly the list was written by a woman who lacks knowledge of many things. I mean Tupac Hologram and Lady Gaga, really...........really??? |

NeedlesslyCanadian: 5. Bald eagle? An animal that has nothing to do with politics? And which has been used by many other empires of the past? The bald eagle is a relative of vultures and prefers to scavenge rather than hunt. It is also a lazy bully that has been observed to steal prey from real hunters and in some cases to do things like scare an osprey that has just eaten to make it vomit so that the eagle can eat the puke. |
