Americans are just Europeans with half the brain and twice the weight.

And now I’ll go give it a rest.

Funny, half of the US was actually invented by Mexico, but I guess ethnocentrism makes people forget that type of stuff.

@Rogerjack – I’m fairly certain most of the african-americans aren’t European…

Africa invented humanity. I think we all know who the REAL winner here is.

So I just browsed through this whole long list of slop and just thought I’d throw this out there: regardless of which country is responsible for what inventions, this argument has become a battle of the patriots between Americans and Europeans, for the most part. I’d like to point out that you, that is, anyone reading this, did not invent ARPAnet, http:, or beer, so kindly drop the pretentious and self-righteous defenses already, if you would. Nobody should feel any pride or shame for something that someone else did, simply because they were born in the same country as you.

So, by your statement, “America was invented by Europe,” wouldn’t then mean, by extension, Europe is responsible for Microsoft?

The Internet was not “invented” at all. It was “developed”. It’s a collection of more than one piece of technology.

Start handing out spoons, because you can all eat my ass.

@Chibby – I haven’t killed anybody. Please clench your ass so that your brain loses oxygen. The less you think the better off we all are.

Europe did invent America. And all Americans are indeed Europeans.

The Internet might have been invented by the US but the invention of the World Wide Web was by Tim Berners-Lee a Londoner.

ARPANET, the Internet’s precursor, was very American and existed in the 70’s. HTTP and thereby the WWW was invented at CERN in Switzerland, so is European.

And beer was indeed invented in ancient times. All the Czech people did was popularize bottom-fermenting beer production like they did it in Plzn, which would therefore be called Plzner (or pilsener) beer. Bottom-fermenting yeasts work at lower temperature, reducing the chance that the beer will spoil during fermentation.

America my have started the physical network (ARPAnet) but .eu started the WWW
From http://tinwiki.org/wiki/CERN : “The World Wide Web was created at CERN in 1991 by the software developer Tim Berners-Lee and his project manager Robert Cailleau.”
Cailleau is a Belgian (Yay Belgium !) so technically the www was (co-)invented by a Belgian :-)
And Swedish cars rule, just love my Saab :-)
