AyKay47 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I find it offensive too. I mean in Transformers, it was not Japan who found them, it was the United States. So Transformers should be considered American. How rude. Yeah, and StarCraft wasn't founded in Korea either! like Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/254822-most-technologically-advanced-country/page/2/#findComment-1308156 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterACE14 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Australia doesn't make the list? We invented the boomerang! makes hunting so much easier while riding our kangaroos.

AyKay47 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The solution to this debate isn't to ask a bunch of people who have the potential to be biased and uninformed. If anything, the poll will represent the biggest misconception or popular opinion. You should do some research.
