Martin Cooper was born on December 26, 1928 in Chicago, Illinois. He was Jewish, but as far as I know never stepped foot in Israel. The silicon chip was invented by two American electrical engineers, Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce.Ryokai said:
As far as advanced medical research, no idea.
Wrong on that one I am afraid: Hungary was first to abolish slavery around (yes drop jaw) 1000 AD. Portugal was the second in 1761, and many others abolished before US including, Scotland, England&Wales, Sweden, France, Japan, Russia, Netherlands, Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Guatemala, Mauritius, Denmark, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Moldavia, Germany, Canada, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Romania, Greece, Bolivia, Austria, India, Uruguay, Cuba, Hawai (was not part of US yet in 1852), Tunisia, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Panama, Belize, Honduras. Side note, abolition is actually not the most correct term but either outlaw or penalization, as despite being made illegal in the whole world, its still being practiced in several forms in the whole world too.Da snakeman said:
In your defense thou, I have to say many US states abolished individually slavery between 1777 (Vermont) and 1864 (The end of the civuil war). Nevertheless, Alaska had salevry abolished just in 1870. Vermont is therefore the 3rd territory abolishing slavery continuously till present day.
When did I say we were the only ones?Tetrapus said:Too bad Jim Carry is Canadian.CK76 said:
And Why is it that (as far as I can tell) Americans think they're the only people to participate in D-Day.Wardog13 said:
Among other things.
Thats a valid point but on the other hand some countries just didn't make nuclear arms in the first place (not trying to argue or anything, just pointing out).brandon237 said:
Best thing my country ever did was not giving in to English control.
PostScript: For the record I don't condone terrorism in any form.
The university of Tel Aviv took the concept of the handheld communications device, but shifted it to work on cellular networks (hence, the cellphone) therefore making it possible to be used for long distances as we know it today.
Also, silicon chip that Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce invented is based on the blueprints of the now Intel-owned Y'hida corporation (unsure of how to spell it in English.)
As for medical research, just two months ago, a way of identifying a rare African genetic disease before it's too late to treat it was developed by Israeli doctors.

Ok since i am from the so called "Greatest country on earth" I would have to say The Moon Landing
The fact that I am free is a pretty good one. No bowing and scraping to a foreign monarchy here.
