Best thing your country ever did.

and the fact we haven't been invaded for nearly a thousand years.

There was that monkey that they hung in Whitely Bay for being a frenchman in the late 1700s. Does that count as being invaded? It reached English soil.. >.>

Not kill anyone in the last 10 years.
Go Australia's pussy attitude

Sorry, I disagree. I studied in Perth for three years and Aussies are the most badass people around right up there with Maoris and south africans

jokes aside though, I'd say Terry Fox has had a pretty huge impact on the world

Who is Terry Fox?

well if your joking, good for you!

if your not, i'll put it briefly

ran over 5000km across canada over 143 days with an artificial leg to raise cancer awareness. made alot of money and died for the effort. Every year countries hold a terry fox run now.

Burning down the white house was pretty badass.

-As most canadians have said already *POU FUCKING TINE*!

First to abolish slavery, I believe.

Also, this:

USA! USA!

Edit: Oh, and we were the first to reserve land for wildlife in national parks. We may not care as much about the environment now, but we sure got the ball rolling.

Us (were I am from) invented the internet..

auto-win

none of you would be able to post here if it wasn't for the united states scientists!

 

[Kragg]

people should really say what country they are from if this is to work properly, and btw americans, you had the roots of GPS and the internet, that pretty much wins this topic

Well, Heinrich Goebel invented the light bulb. After he moved to the USA. Then Edison made a better one...

Well, it was one monkey. Does that really count as an invasion? Really? If that's all the French have then I'm very worried about them right now...

Speaking of France why hasn't anyone from there posted yet?

And sharply re-started again when the British Empire started wondering what to do with all these people from India and Africa
Wasn't -fully- abolished across the empire until 1833, following the slave trade act which passed in 1807 >.>

You German types had Martin Luther, too.

 

[OmegaXzors]

Uhh, can anyone tell me what is in their opinion the best thing Finland did? I can't think of any.

Your country won "1st place in the 2009 Legatum Prosperity rating, which is based on economical performance and quality of life."

According to wiki. =]

We took Vimy Ridge and made the Canadarm. Also, you will never get a better source of maple syrup.

[issacization]

we invented penicillin, TV and the phone.

90% of German music is shit. xD
Blutengel is quite good but "Rammstein" and "die Aertze" is better

I think English archers deserve a special shout-out for being decisive in almost all of England's land-battles with France during the middle ages
