Some sort of nationalism argument

[Nova]

I love you bigheads who are referring to the "US recycling symbol". We do use it in Europe too, y'know.

 

[lulzfish]

Yeah, but most of us don't go to Europe often enough to now whether or not you have the same symbol.




..
Wait, you guys have written language?

All I seem to know about Europe is that they're a shitty hair metal band or something like that.

You americans wouldn't exist if it wasn't for us... (In a sense you're all eurpoeans, except some native americans and african americans)

And yeah, the internet wouldn't exist if it wasn't for us, we invented it at CERN.

And the English language wouldn't be as wide-spread worldwide if it wasn't for us (The Brittish actually)

etc

You should remember that...

And btw, the ")"-smiley is something that only exists in Russia, so don't think that we Europeans all use such ugly smilies

 

[sam fisher]

I think CERN created the IP but the first internet was created in the US. Indeed, though, without the IP the internet would not exist

One could make the argument that as of World War II...You wouldn't exist if not for Americans...I love how things like this work...My forefathers fought to get away from England and my grandfathers fought to save it.
Not sure if that qualifies as irony, but I think it's pretty amazing how so much blood was lost in the revolutionary war and yet despite that fact, that battle never actually tore us apart. Also I'm pretty sure if it ever came right down too it, both of our countries would take up arms to help save the other...we are all still brothers.

Also in the US the story is that the Department of Defense invented the internet as part of a project to link the defense computers together.

It mentions CERN using TCP/IP but after it was invented...
Internet Wiki

I don't think CERN invented the IP nor the Internet...I also don't believe Al Gore invented it either...lol

 

[sam fisher]

Why would CERN lie .

 

[Nova]

Ah, the old "The US saved the UKs ass in WW2" argument. Complete tosh, but well done for digging up that old chestnut

Yeah. Everyone knows it was Canada that saved the day in the end. h34r:

 

[Awakening]

World Wide Web was invented at CERN (IIRC).

And yeah, the Internet is an American invention, by the military (IIRC).

O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

If Russia didnt stop fighting in WW1 there is a change WW2 never started, the Triple Entente would have been much stronger and there was no need for ending the war with peace and Germany would have crushed (but that sadly means no ED and no Pandora).

Edit: I saw the oh canada thing , so lets do my Royal Athem:

QUOTE


Wilhelmus van Nassouwe
ben ik, van Duitsen bloed,
den vaderland getrouwe
blijf ik tot in den dood.
Een Prinse van Oranje
ben ik, vrij, onverveerd,
den Koning van Hispanje
heb ik altijd geëerd.

Wilhelmus van Nassouwe
ben ik, van Duitsen bloed,
den vaderland getrouwe
blijf ik tot in den dood.
Een Prinse van Oranje
ben ik, vrij, onverveerd,
den Koning van Hispanje
heb ik altijd geëerd.

Lijdt u, mijn onderzaten
die oprecht zijt van aard,
God zal u niet verlaten,
al zijt gij nu bezwaard.
Die vroom begeert te leven,
bidt God nacht ende dag,
dat Hij mij kracht zal geven,
dat ik u helpen mag.

Lijf en goed al te samen
heb ik u niet verschoond,
mijn broeders hoog van namen
hebben 't u ook vertoond:
Graaf Adolf is gebleven
in Friesland in de slag,
zijn ziel in 't eeuwig leven
verwacht de jongste dag.

Edel en hooggeboren,
van keizerlijke stam,
een vorst des rijks verkoren,
als een vroom christenman,
voor Godes woord geprezen,
heb ik, vrij onversaagd,
als een held zonder vreze
mijn edel bloed gewaagd.

Mijn schild ende betrouwen
zijt Gij, o God mijn Heer,
op U zo wil ik bouwen,
Verlaat mij nimmermeer.
Dat ik doch vroom mag blijven,
uw dienaar t'aller stond,
de tirannie verdrijven
die mij mijn hart doorwondt.

Van al die mij bezwaren
en mijn vervolgers zijn,
mijn God, wil doch bewaren
de trouwe dienaar dijn,
dat zij mij niet verrassen
in hunne boze moed,
hun handen niet en wassen
in mijn onschuldig bloed.

Als David moeste vluchten
voor Sauel de tiran,
zo heb ik moeten zuchten
als menig edelman.
Maar God heeft hem verheven,
verlost uit alle nood,
een koninkrijk gegeven
in Israël zeer groot.

Na 't zuur zal ik ontvangen
van God mijn Heer het zoet,
daarnaar zo doet verlangen
mijn vorstelijk gemoed:
dat is, dat ik mag sterven
met ere in dat veld,
een eeuwig rijk verwerven
als een getrouwe held.

Niets doet mij meer erbarmen
in mijne wederspoed
dan dat men ziet verarmen
des Konings landen goed.
Dat u de Spanjaards krenken,
o edel Neerland zoet,
als ik daaraan gedenke,
mijn edel hart dat bloedt.

Als een prins opgezeten
met mijner heireskracht,
van de tiran vermeten
heb ik de slag verwacht,
die, bij Maastricht begraven,
bevreesden mijn geweld;
mijn ruiters zag men draven
zeer moedig door dat veld.

Zo het de wil des Heren
op die tijd was geweest,
had ik geern willen keren
van u dit zwaar tempeest.
Maar de Heer van hierboven,
die alle ding regeert,
die men altijd moet loven,
Hij heeft het niet begeerd.

Zeer christlijk was gedreven
mijn prinselijk gemoed,
standvastig is gebleven
mijn hart in tegenspoed.
De Heer heb ik gebeden
uit mijnes harten grond,
dat Hij mijn zaak wil redden,
mijn onschuld maken kond.

Oorlof, mijn arme schapen
die zijt in grote nood,
uw herder zal niet slapen,
al zijt gij nu verstrooid.
Tot God wilt u begeven,
zijn heilzaam woord neemt aan,
als vrome christen leven,-
't zal hier haast zijn gedaan.

oor God wil ik belijden
en zijne grote macht,
dat ik tot gene tijden
de Koning heb veracht,
dan dat ik God de Here,
de hoogste Majesteit,
heb moeten obediëren
in de gerechtigheid.

OK, to slowly but surely get back on topic:
1. You are all nationalistic bastards (don't take it personally)

2. The best natinal anthem IMHO is the Soviet/Russian ("Союз нерушимый республик свободных Сплотила навеки Великая Русь!" etc) but anthems have nothing to do with the topic at hand.

3. ")" is a very ugly emoticon because it's like a person only having a mouth, and no eyes, a nose etc.

4. WWW aka TCP/IP including RTP etc was invented at CERN, and the Internet evolved from the ARPAnet AND the europe-wide network for scientists almost simultaneously, so noone 'invented' the Internet (ignoring what those folks at 4chan say)

5. America would not have been colonized at all if it wasn't for us Europeans, and then there wouldn't have been any Americans to save us in the 2nd World War. But the World War probably wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for America (I'm not blaming America, but rather the butterfly effect (read about it on Wikipedia))

6. The battery cover covers all standards required by all countries and is very nice etc.

And New York would never been there without us dutch.

If we're going to involve chaos theory, then it was the fall of the Roman empire that saved you guys in WWII.

 

[borgqueenx]

wtf, are we discussing stuff about a world war, when this is a topic about a battery of a handheld gaming console? heavely offtopic

Actually, had it not been for America joining World War 1, due to more bloodshed on both sides with no results the treaty would have been much fairer to both sides and would not have caused the problems it did in Germany. Therefore, they would not have started a second World War, and one of the big reasons America joined the first World War was due to the secret message sent to Mexico from Germany telling them that if they attacked the United States they would help them recover Texas. So in reality, we all know that the internet can be credited to Mexico for existing which caused World War 2 which allowed us to invent it.
