its not that I hate the US, per se. i hate the Americans who think they're god's gift just because they're American. Some Americans just can't admit that the US isnt perfect.
ok fine, but if you didnt have cavemen, we wouldnt be having wheels or if it werent for the greeks and romans, no math or architecture. thats the stupidest thing ive heard in a long time. if i murder someone, is it my parents fault for having me as their child?
no, we arent perfect, but were by far better than any other country on this planet. i hate it when people point out things from countries, and then say, "look at this! the us doesnt have this!" well guess fuckin what? for everything the us doesnt have, the us has something that is 300x better
Dude, you are a fucking asshole. My grandmother was in Hiroshima the day before it was bombed and had to leave cause her mom was sick. Go to hell you piece of shit.
He lives/lived in Massachusetts. The concept of the Internet was already around long before Berners-Lee, and there were already other versions of the internet (check out ARPANET) that were invented in the US.
What Berners-Lee did was invent HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) which is the basis of the World Wide Web. However, internet ≠World Wide Web.
And from an environmentalist perspective you are hands down the worst country on this planet (because its just as relevant to this thread as your stupid invention argument.)
NO YOU IGNORANT PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!! They were the ones in Hiroshima and Nagasaki that survived the atomic bomb you piece of shit. I am joining steezepolice in what he said about you with the added notion that I hope when you go to hell to rot you get anally raped by a katana for all eternity. Go jump off a fucking bridge. Calling someone a Hibakusha is the same thing as calling a Japanese person a J*p, a black person a n**ger, or a mexican a wet*ack or sp**. Go suck a dick and die.
explain to me a) why being powerful equates to a better country for its citizens (keep in mind countries like Russia, China) and b) why the United States is "300x" better than any other country?
For a country that has created a global recession, caused a war that has killed over 1 million innocent people (not a stat they usually broadcast in the US), has two political parties that are tearing the country apart, employs corporations that exploit the rest of the world for the sake of a few dollars, and is inhabited by douchebags like you I find it hard to believe that it is "300x" better than anywhere else.
are you really gonna argue semantics? really? seriously? people living in/working for the US invented these things, because the US provides them with the opportunity
Fact: Tons of Americans work minimum wage jobs, have to pay for groceries, education, healthcare (dont get me started), bills, etc. The idiots out of this group get credit cards and end up with tens of thousands of dollars of debt. Thus, life is shit.
Sorry. Honestly I am. It is just this guy is pissing me off so much that if I were to go to my MMA practice tonight I may put my two best friends in the hospital.
a) were capitalist
b) were democratic
c) your country comes up with jack shit, while the US is on the forefront of every medical innovation in recent memory
d) we are BY 100000000 MILES the most humanitarian aid giving country in the world
e) the UN is based in the USA
f) created the global recession you say? how about creating the global economy and driving it in the first place?
g) we do more for the world than your country will ever imagine
h) terrorists attacked us, we told em who's boss, as well as removing all terrorists in the middle east
People like you are the reason we got attacked on 9/11, people like you, are the reason our troops are dieing in a meaningless war, people like you, are the people I put in the hospital on a weekly basis in my MMA fights. I choose ignorant, selfish douchebags to fight cause then I'm not said if I seriously hurt them and put them in the hospital for a couple days.
i actually had some respect for you, until i read this post. are you legally retarded? i would type up a nice response to this preposterous post that would shut you up for good. unfortunately, im really tired right now, so im going to let someone else do it for me.
for the benefit of intellect and humanity please, both you and Drunkenstein, stop posting
and if you havent yet watched Capitalism: A Love Story, i highly suggest you do before putting "we're capitalist" as your number one argument.
are YOU serious? capitalism drives these inventions. why would you invent something if the govt is gonna control it? you wanna make money off your hard work dont you? youre a fucking idiot
a) not against capitalism.... but it is hard to ignore the suffering it imposes on people around the world in poorer countries (once you finish high school and leave your one sided educational institution you may understand, probably not)
b) arguable, and for how long with the complete lack of bi partisanship
c) not true, some very good medical researchers in not only Canada, but many European countries, the only medical advancements a 14 yr old like yourself will hear about will be on news, and anyways the medical academic world is not confined by borders but rather through respectable research institutions throughout the world.
d) you do give alot of humanitarian aid, that is true, kudos, and that is good and i respect that, but alot of aid is given only to countries which will adopt certain policies that will allow the US to cash in on them.
e) the UN is a sham, cmon everyone knows that
f) You didnt create the global economy, it began long ago with portugal and trade routes but was modernized mostly with the British and the industrial revolution
g) it is the most powerful country in the world
h) there is still a fairly serious war going on in Iraq and Afghanistan, possibly soon to be in Iran and Pakistan so lets not get to far ahead of ourselves.
