I have read your posts from a month plus ago.
You where no more in Afghanistan than i was.
I have done with you, i hate liars.

I don't know what bothers me more you calling me a liar or someone staring your post. Go back and read my posts over the last month and a number of times I mentioned I was in Afghanistan...

I'm sorry our debate headed in this direction, but ya I guess we are kind of off OP now…

Someone who has a rational argument uses logic and facts, one who has an irrational argument uses emotion and runs away. You may quote me.

You stated The World Wide Web was an American invention.
I have shown you it's not. Want to argue with that fact?

So I guess the question really is... Would there be an internet today without the US? At some point you guys need to give kudos to American inventions that made this all happen.

I'm still waiting to hear about this oil that we got from Iraq.

I think of Australia as a suburb country of the world in a social / political way a nice enough place but a bit dull and detached

So tell me how will the world remember Australia?

I don't know, I am Australian therefore I have no place putting words into non-Australians mouths.

It should be you telling me but I would rather not hear the opinion of someone who has attempted to troll me from the beginning.

Funny that Australia will come running to evil 'Merika' soon enough.

After all China is expanding their sea power, and 'territorial' waters.

Hell Vietnam already has.

Lets not get into the "who invented what" debate. Most countries have invented something or somethings that have had a profound effect on todays society. Australians invented refrigeration for one thing, and the bionic ear that most deaf people wear. And thats just the tip of the iceberg.


TL/DR: No one country has the right to stand up and proclaim they are better than the rest because they invented something.

That's your opinion and it has absolutely no basis in fact whatsoever.

Trolling AND making demands?

I have no interest in conversing with you further, due to your trolling. Have I not made this clear enough to you?

I literally just finished downloading a BBC doco called "The Secrets of Scotts Hut" lol.

Off topic: Ya the first time I saw it was kind of crazy. You could just walk though it, pick things up and look at the stuff. I guess they do not worry about crowds of tourist down there to spoil anything.

I think I might download that too

Yes you are mad.

Germany bombed Britain. Britain bombed Germany twice as hard.

BBC Link

Britain's air force began to realise that its bombers were not able to find and hit specific war targets such as airfields or armament factories. An investigation revealed that just one in five aircraft was succeeding in dropping its bombs within five miles of its target.

Ha ha ha, it is really getting boring educating you on your own history. It wasn't until the USA joined the fight that you got effective bombing


Also as I have told you the www application is not the internet and would not exist without the internet.

'No basis' eh ?

How am I trolling you?
You said the United States took oil from Iraq and I asked for proof and your answer is troll?????
So in other words you meant to say I make things up and will call people trolls to justify my trolling.

And the Internet, as it stands today, wouldn't exist without the World Wide Web.

Can we get past the "who invented what" debate and just realise that no one country can proclaim dominance based on it's inventions because, in fact, most countries have invented at least one thing that has profoundly changed the world?

Al gore invented the internets.

He says so.

Just like he invented climate change.
