I think DARPA invented the Internets.

The idea was that after the apocalyptic nuclear holocaust megadoom showdown with the Soviets, information and communications would be more secure if de-centralized to a redundant network.

Apocalypse didn't happen, so now we play Farmville and watch funny cat videos. And argue on forumz.

Lore everybody knows that.. people are being humorous when they say "internets," we all know it's not literally a series of tubes..



Another issue is why is modern humor so juvenile. It's down to kindergarten level. First grade style misspellings, no complex thoughts longer than can fit in a twitter tweet. Grown men trade funny cat pictures, what the hell happened to the world?

But we're getting off topic here. Al Gore didn't invent the Internet but he does seem to have coined the "Science Denier" mantra. What do you think Lore.. economics is science.. 97% of economists agree the debt ceiling must be raised and we'll collapse if we don't take on more debt.

So is Al Gore right, are those against more debt "Science Deniers?"

What's amusing is using a Bushism in reference to Al Gore.

If I had terminal cancer, I would like to spend my remaining days with Al Gore. Because every
day spent with Al would feel like a year.

[Plantagenet]

Of course Al Gore boasted that he had "created the internet". He said it during a CNN interview in 1999 when he was running for president and making his pitch as to why people should elect him president.

See for yourself: Al Gore explains that people should elect him president because he is responsible for creating the internet!!!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Lore', 'I')f 97 out of 100 expert doctors said you had terminal cancer, two said maybe and one said you didn't, would you call yourself yet a hopeful skeptic, or just someone who is in denial?

[peeker01]

I remember back in 2006 when my sister dragged me kicking and screaming to see "An Inconven-
ient Truth". The theater was vibrant with eco-fervor. The enthusiasm was palpable. Now, 5
years later, Gore has to hang a porkchop around his neck to get his dog's attention. Everyone knows
we can't afford Gore's get rich quick scheme, even if someone were to prove it is necessary.

Al Gore makes a lot of money because of AGW and he tried to get on the same boat with the Internet but was promptly shot down. I don't know who this guys connections are but he'll take credit for anything he can make a buck off of so if he calls you a science denier by god you're a science denier and automatically anti capitalist too because being a science denier means you won't invest in his carbon credit programs.

The guy's got a slick deal going. Just like the Fed creating money out of thin air, Al Gore creates carbon credits out of thin air and gives a bunch a people warm fuzzes in their stomach knowing their saving the planet by participating in the carbon credit market.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Lore', 'G')ore never claimed to have "invented" the Internet. What he said was: "During my service in the United States Congress I took the initiative in creating the Internet."

[Lore]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Plantagenet', 'J')eez. Surely you aren't so gullible as to believe that Al Gore created the internet.

It is nice to hear those important (and also impotent...) dickheads people warning about more and more serious consequences, while the Empire is getting bankrupt.
They are sounding very much like Roman Cezars of III-V centuries AD.
