First flight of an aircraft without assistance of heavy wind, a catapult or any artificial method to put the thing airborne was made by Santos Dumont, NOT the Wright Brothers.
Now, the point of "since American foreign policy you should not use anything American" is completely pathetic.
In fact if you think about it, every nation from one angle or another did something unspeakable of. I know my country did, so did America.
Historically speaking boycotts are a childish and ineffective way to deal with a disagreement, and we have several examples of that. Amazing that an American, which supposedly stand for "freedom" and "liberty" would suggest a boycott as a way to deal with their Hitlerian foreign policy and its hideous legacy. Quite contradicting.
I'll file your grievances under the "confused youth" category. |

(shhh I know, but I love being a dick)
Now I will tell you what will happen:
Option 1: coffeedork will ignore the post in which he was completely gangraped and pretend it never happened, after all, I suppose I am on his ignore list.
Option 2: he will google intensively and find an obscure study financed by Monsanto proving that not only dioxin does not harm people but it also cures bad breath, body odor and hair loss
Option 3: he will omit the dioxin discussion and go straight to the Wright Brothers vs Santos Dumont controversy.
I go for 3.
oh and by the way:

Ummmm..... ok...... sorry, I forgot, those are all Chinese inventions.
Here, I found a link for you
http://corporate.britannica.com/press/inventions.html
gangbang away. |
Wow. That site has a lot of incorrect information (well, not a lot, but enough that I think I'll double check Britannica from now on.)
The Internet
computers email, airplanes, anything built on an assembly line, air conditioning, radio, motion pictures, ATMs, anything with a bar code, hair dryers, bras, cameras, anything in metal cans, cardboard, credit cards, smoke alarms, escalators, elevators, revolving doors, frozen foods, electric guitars, lasers, jeans, LIGHT BULBS, MRIs, microwave ovens, electric motors, nylon, electric razors, or hell, even safety razors, refrigerators, TV, communication satellites, steel frame skyscrapers, TOILET PAPER, washing machines, telephones and clothes zippers just to name a few.
Toilet Paper actually *was* first invented by the Chinese. (found that out a few months ago when I was googling for inventions, etc.)
Light Bulb was not invented by Americans. It was invented by two Canadians named Henry Woodward and Matthew Evans in 1874, first successfully tested in Toronto. And then they did the retardedly Canadian thing and sold Edison the patent. (Edison invented almost nothing, he was just good at buying patents, and theft actually.)
Telephone is claimed by Scotland, Canada, and America, as Bell made his home in all three countries. (Although Canada has his corpse. Go us!  )
Zippers are a Canadian invention too. Gideon Sundback invented them.
Radio is also a debatable one. Try googling Thomas Aheam...actually don't bother, you won't find anything other than on this page I think: http://www.cbc.ca/inventions/inventions.html EDIT: Sorry, not Thomas Aheam.. he invented the Electric Oven. Reginald Fessenden was the name I meant.

I'd like to be American actually- baseball is a good day out, pizza by the slice, chinese food in those cool cardboard boxes, ROAD TRIP! Being a frat boy, girls with hair that smells like strawberries, loads of different kinds of breakfast cereal.
It'd be grand I think. |
Don't forget BIGGER CARS!!!

hc, this is your worst thread ever. 80% of your comments start out with "you must think", "I bet he..", and you're full of contradictions (due to your lack of research and experience here). As tiger said, this is one of the most documented subjects out there, and there's millions of first hand accounts still available.
It's almost summer, as such I suspect the company where you allege to work must be very busy otherwise even you could figure this stuff out.
Since there's so many holes in your speculative statements here I won't waste Michael's servers' time with a full reply, but as others have mentioned here, consider the effects of your ill informed and hasty statements before patting yourself on the back again. "I'd bet" you're even making tiger's spincter pucker a little. |

"and you're full of contradictions (due to your lack of research and experience here)"
Can you point them out?
"It's almost summer, as such I suspect the company where you allege to work must be very busy otherwise even you could figure this stuff out. "
You are a big supporter of my company. I thank you for that.
"Since there's so many holes in your speculative statements here I won't waste Michael's servers' time with a full reply,"
Because you cant come up with one.
""I'd bet" you're even making tiger's spincter pucker a little."
Well Tiger is from SanFran, so...
By the way, I heard you are going to California in 30 days once the gay marriage law becomes official?
Common, dont give us the crappy "I wont even answer your arguments", give us INFORMATION.
I read the links you posted and highlighted the inconsistencies, so, be a good sport and admit you arent able to counter argument it. |

Lots of long posts here, even re-fighting the Vietnam War. Amazing.
All I can say is that the Lord knows the US has done enough dumb stuff, especially these past few years. But then I look at all the other countries... |

So far you only posted crap that hardly relates to the topic OR that proves the OPPOSITE of what you appear to want to prove.
The burden of proof here is on you clearly Coffee.
So either get out of your soapbox or post something worth the bandwidth. |
