sammyk Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 There is a difference between inventing something and pioneering it. If I'm not mistaken the VCR was invented in the US, but the Japanese basically pioneered it. And the Czechs invented the first contact lens back in the 1960s, but had no idea how to take it and do anything with it on a large-scale basis. That was done in the US and Western Europe. Good example, but they'll always be credited with the invention will they not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHICO IS GOD Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Getting back to the original subject, I caught some of the Yankee game earlier and Delgado got his when he came to bat in the ninth. Good! Yes he did, booing could be heard, some fans even shouted USA, USA. (And as far as the game, great game. Low scoring, short, El Duque (and Lilly) pitched great, and obviously an exciting finish with the walk off homer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jas0nMacIsaac Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Canada didn't pioneer in Standard Time, obviously the English did IE Greenwich Time... we don't say Toronto Time....So Standard time is an English invention. OK, so Canada can have their snow mobiles, what a great world changing invention Its was a canadian who invented it making it a canadian invention. We also made many breakthroughs in medical fields. So today without Canada you wouldn't have penicillin, Heart Pacemaker, Insulin Process, Standard Time or the telephone. That would be a nice life for you to live in. I hope you would be one of the diabetics that would suffer because Canada is useless. Maybe you would get sick and not have penicillin and you would die from something as small as a simple infection. You wouldn't be able to call anyone. We also invented the tellegraph 5 miles from where I live. What has Texas done for us latley? Cook a damn good hotdog? Take over Mexican soil?

Let's not get carried away. If Canada or a Canadian didn't think of it, I'm sure someone else would have. For every invention there's usually some guy (or gal) kicking themselves for not furthering their own similar inventions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So today without Canada you wouldn't have penicillin, Some guy sneezed in a dish and discovered a new medicine, WOW, how smart you guys are... Heart Pacemaker, Insulin Process, Standard Time So those are the greatest things to come out of Canada? or the telephone. Invented by Scottish man here in America, got a US patent, and yet you think it's a Canadian invention... What has Texas done for us latley? Cook a damn good hotdog? Take over Mexican soil? your comparing an entire country to a state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Yes, and she was Polish. Great. Could we not have the national comparisons? This really is asinine. Especially since it's arguing with TK421, who is very clearly a xenophobic nationalist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 (edited) Typical Republican responses to any and all arguments: "They should go back to their own country." or "They should leave this country if they don't support it." "That's because they're from another country. They're lowly foreigners." "Well, George W. Bush created/supported it, so it must be good." "Uh...it's an American product/invention/fecal sample/etc., so how could you possibly think it's not absolutely, positively amazing?" "We're just liberating these poor innocent people by getting rid of their evil leaders!" Then, two months later, after thousands of innocent people have died.... "I don't feel sorry for those innocents who have lost family members in bombing raids. After all, they were Middle Eastern, so they must have been terrorists."

Do you have any idea how racist you are, and how absolutely flawed it makes any and all of your arguments seem? People like you are the reason why this country is hated. You're a perfect fit for the Bush administration. Political conversation is one thing, but I don't see how blatant racism could possibly escape the moderators' attention.
