Aye, incidenatlly the Wright brothers only flew a manned fixed wing
aircraft first which hardly qualifies as inventing the airplane. Given
all the related fields which the americans were behind until the german
scientists defected after the war.

This is an interesting allegation. It seems that Europeans usually accuse
us Americans of being mixed too much (we certainly have more ethnic mixes
than the UK) and that Americans accuse Europeans of being inbred. Your
insult, while false, is an interestingly ironic one.

Yes, all the allied forces ended ww2. If you remember correctly, though,
the UK gave Hitler free reign to take over continental Europe and took its
sweet time to intervene also. So please don't use the moralistic
argument, you eleven-fingered Brit.

Uptight twats? Another insult that has been commonly reserved for the
Brits. Americans are usually not accused of being uptight. I can't help
but think you have some kind of learning disorder and that you should
substitute "Brit" with "American" everywhere you've written.

You *should* celebrate, because if the U.S. were to blow up, you wouldn't
have a job tomorrow. Your economy would collapse. The economies of the
world are more interdependent than you would obviously care to recognize.
We Americans know this and that's why we intervene in a lot of conflicts
around the world. We also wish you Europeans would get over your petty
differences and make the EU something more than just a name.
Cuban missile crisis.....ever hear of the Soviet Union? A Soviet threat
was scary enough for your country to join NATO, wasn't it?

I dont believe 'you wish us Europeans would make something of the EU', if
this is your wish then you must what to see your country lose its
position of power. The EU would walk all over the US. The EU would
become THE economic power.
It appears you don't read up on the actions of your own country, the
wouldn't have to intervene if they didn't cause so many problems in the
first place.
E.G. Iran-Contra, CIA-Colombia(drugs), Black-ops-Bosnia, CIA-Iraq.
Finally, you may have more ethnic groups, but your also the most racist
country on this planet.

Very wishful thinking. Why is that the U.S. has stated time and time
again that it is in complete support of the EU and EMU? Because then
Europe will be a stable, prosperous market for our products. Only
childish idiots like you think that we're afraid of a united Europe. We

Really? Proof? How can this be possible when "American" is not an race
but a citizenship, but British/European is a "race", and one that you will
never stop boasting about the superiority of? Europe is by far the most
racist part of the world, and the rest of the world knows it.

Yes, I'm sure that there are a few. I know a few, actually. But Britain
and Europe actually take pride in being uptight, stuck-up and neurotic.
Why deny them what they are so proud of? And the fact is, he was using
insults that are usually reserved for Brits. What would you say if I said
Australians were workaholic, high-strung corporate cogs that travel in
groups and are world-renowned for taking pictures everywhere?

....and to protect our markets. Yes, trade can exists *within* the EU.
And trade already exists *within* the U.S., obviously a lot less
restrictedly than in the EU as it stands now. And humans can eat grubs
and shrubs if the economies of the world collapse. Your point is...?

It's tempting just to give up on these prats from the States, who
continually pass the buck on all that is wrong, and only to leave
themselves the time to take as much credit as they can from doing as
little as possible to merit it. The States calling the Britons racist?

And don't forget Yahoo Serious :)
As far as American cars... this isn't the 80's. American car
manufacturers have learned from their mistakes. On top of that, Japan
has learned that it's not invincible economically any more than it was
militarily in 1941. Last I heard, Ford had grabbed a big piece of one of
the big Japanese auto companies (Nissan, maybe? Don't the WSJ article
handy). Add to that the fact that once the Japanese recession hit, the
Japanese suddenly discovered that in order to keep enough capital in
order to survive, they had to sell back a lot of their trendy American
assests for huge losses due to the fact that the original American
sellers realized that the Japanese would pay *anything* for things like
movie studios and other such tripe. Oh well, turnabout's fair play.
>>ROTFL! Like the Japanese *ever* came up with a microprocessor worth

>Two words - American cars. Comprende?
ROTFL, the simple micros used in autos were all derived from earlier
American designs. Japan is not a pioneer in microprocessors no matter
how much you want to pretend they are. Even the UK leads Japan in
microprocessor technology which shows how pathetic they are. Even
Clive Sinclair had to select the American Z80.

Yes, they are made many places, where ever production costs are

Why don't you? It'd be funny to see you struggling over historical
concepts with only "Dick and Jane study racial and political
interaction with relation to World War 2 social structures". Either
way your assertion that "The British have been the most racist of all"
is the sort of conclusory statement born out of either in depth study
or wholesale ignorance. I'm betting on the latter.

Why are all the advances in superconductors coming from countries other
than the US. Even India has contributed more than
the US. When the superconductor industry starts up, the Americans will not
be a factor. The superconductor is the TRANSISTOR
of the 21st century.
Magnetic bubble memory is the wave of the future. Who's developing it?
Fujitsu. Who has the world's fastest computer. You
guessed it, Fujitsu's Numerical Wind Tunnel.

Okay. A better processor. The Hitachi SH7604. Just because a processor
sells a million units, doesn't mean it's the best. The Pentium is
essential a 64-bit 4004. It still fucking uses dedicated registers when
EVERYONE ELSE DOESN'T. EVEN IBM
processors don't anymore. And that's pretty fucking bad. I have stopped
programming assembly for the Pentium because it
sucks. I like real addresses, not this segment:offset shit. I'd prefer
chewing glass than coding for the Pentium. The x86 system seems so dated
when you compare it to
the DEX Alpha
the PowerPC
the SPARC
In 10 years, thanks in most part to Intel and Microsoft, they will join IBM
as the companies that are holding back the ongoing
computer revolution. IBM drove out most of it's competition, and Intel and
Micro$uck are doing the same now with the blessing
of the US government. Fact is, the US semiconductor industry is dying.
Why? Shareholders don't want to invest in new equipment
if it means lower dividends. US chip makers aren't keeping up with the
Japanese in this area and soon they'll kill you with labour
costs. Only Intel and Cyrix (with the help of IBM) will survive.

Yes I have. I also understand far more about how international
treaties work than you do, as you, like Moronayan, don't seem to have
a fucking clue. If you are attacked by a member of an Alliance it is
for the other members of that Alliance to declare war on you, not the
other way around. Pearl Harbour was not a legitimate reason to declare
war on Germany, and therefore the US must have had an alterior motive
beyond mere pragmatism. Understand yet, dipshit?

It's rather sad to see a yank accusing anyone of geographical

international treaties. Just because Japan declares war on you does
not instantly obligate you to attack it's allies. Therefore pragmatism
does not com e in to it, the US attacked Germany for ideological
reasons. Finally.

No, I just find it rather pathetic when you lambast someone for

supposed to have a short attention span but that is simply ridiculous.

>GAWD, it figures, only a British mind could come up with something

No, only a used car salesman, or any other type of salesman, eg.,
poltician.
One hears all sorts of drivel about the QWERTY keyboard's origin,
including the ridiculous notion that it is ergonomic, <ROTFL> or that
the early typewriter mechanisms were too fragile, and so typing speed
had to be slowed down. <Rolls on floor, pissing self laughing>
***WRONG!***
The letters C .. H can be reached in sequence by moving to adjacent
keys, similarly the sequence I .. L. There is a 2 letter jump from H
to I, and also from L to M. So, one can basically step through the
letters from C to M by moving to adjacent keys, except for 2 places
where you move 2 keys.
As far as the letters are concerned, the QWERTY keyboard has the
letters in a tortuous sequence (to stop it from looking too obvious?),
with a few letters out of sequence. Actually it has more than a few
letters out of sequence, it has a whole line. So, what is so special
about that line?
The third line from the bottom: QWERTYUIOP contains the word
"Typewriter".
The early typewriter salesmen didn't need to know how to type to
demonstrate the product, they just had to pick out the word
"typewriter" on the one line. That was the whole rational at the heart
of this ridiculous keyboard layout. They wanted to sell the product.

You are a LIAR!! They once let me out of my chains back in '59, and I got
to look at a typewriter up close. As I don't get out much, I had prepped
myself mentally for the trip, warping brainspace to allow for total recall
of my short trip out.
C..H involves a jump from the 'E' to the 'F' across another
key. Although there is but one key in between, it does not reflect well
on you to see even minor warpings of the truth to suit your greater need.
Also, ignoring that, one can extend your C..M journey to C..N with
no problem. And therein lies the root of your dastardliness.
Please don't ever come here again, the next time we will rip your
heart out as you are a clinging bit of feces of the oppressors who
laid me here. Tell them that we can see through the translucent skin
of their bloodsucking vermin.

Well, I've never actually seen one of them, unless you mean a Vauxhall

the same as a good night at the pub, they aren't very prestigious, and as

Yes it does, the two are both saying the same thing.
If, however, you aid that a does not equal b, and b does not equal c, then
you are right to say that this does not mean that a equals c.
That is not, however, what you wrote.

Not unless A and B are both mutually exclusive and exhaustive.

That is true.

That is also true.
Nonetheless, what I originally wrote is also true. Or have you
never seen a Venn Diagram. Funny that a CERN boy would never
have seen a Venn Diagram. Were you educated in the UK, Anthony?
Don't they teach logic over there?
For those confused, here is an example:
Let A be the set of black chess pieces. Let B be the set of
pawns. Now A does not equal B but A also does not equal not B
for not B is the set of chess pieces which are not pawns which
includes some white pieces and excludes some black pieces.

Do you understand yet, cretin? Probably not so I suppose I'll have to
spell it out for you. The US did /not/ declare war on Germany. Germany
declared war on the US. Therefore the US had no, repeat no, obligation
to attack Germany. Pragmatism, therefore, does not come into it.

Paul, why don't you share with the group the concepts taught in "Basic logic
for retards 101?" It seems to be rather different from the logic intelligent
people use.
Oh, BTW: a) I've been around the Internet and Usenet longer than many people.
b) You post like a newbie. c) I am not an "oldbie" (sic). Did you follow that?

I've surrendered to your incredible intellect and your well-electrocuted
cerebrum. You're smart. You got an 'A' and an 'A*' in English
literature.
So, let me see. I never bragged about being around for a long time.
I think you need to take "remedial truthfulness for pathetic liars"
but then maybe a course in how to read would serve you just as well.
Of course, seeing how you are a product of the British educational
system, I can see why you need both.
You know, Paulio, every time you try to flame anyone, all you ever
do is burn your own butt and even then you do a half assed job.
