6500...out of 340 Million. Americas so great people are breaking into everyday and those who hate it don't have the balls to leave it.Disagree. The internet is the software and hardware. One is useless without the other.
I concur.
Stats on US emigration are surprisingly hard to find. Apparently over 6,000 US Citizens renounce their citizenship per year though. I bet the paying US taxes while living (permanently) abroad helps with that. And you hear about all the people moving to Mexico, like Thomas Markle. Moving to Canada after losing an internal battle is an American tradition, people did it after the Revolutionary War and Civil War. @fingercuffs are you still a British citizen? Do you have any other nationalities as you seem to have lived abroad a lot.
Why don't we call the Sun the Moon and vice versa? Close enough, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And this is a cat:
and you will be mocked for disagreeing.
Words have meanings. As annoying as people like you find people like me, you must need us or we wouldn't have evolved to be a constant small part of the population.
Obviously when I said DARPA I meant DARPANET. I have corrected the post and thanks for picking that up.
The internet is not a US invention. (People in) the US invented part of it. Sorry this seems to bother you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm also sorry to have to tell you that you're on shaky ground with the transistor.
I bet this kind of thing happens a lot in academia/inventing. If there were some way to irrefutably find the 'father' of an invention, like DNA testing children, I bet a high percentage would be at least partly wrongly attributed.
Of the three inventors usually credited with inventing the transistor (Bardeen, Brattain and Shockley), two were born abroad: Brattain in China and Shockley in London.
I don't know very much about transistors but apparently the BBS version was soon superceded by the MOSFET transistor, which was invented in the US by an Egpytian and a Korean immigrant. The USA gets full credit for the integrated circuit though.
Damn, you beat me to it.
Damn, you beat me to it.
A lot more than 6,500 people leave the US permanently each year, that's just the approximate number of people who renounce US citizenship. A lot of sources also say more illegal immigrants leave the US each year (overwhelmingly voluntarily) than enter.
You disagree that the internet is not the same thing as the world wide web? Well that's great but you are still wrong. They are not the same thing. It's okay that you didn't know that so you erroneously conflated the two. The internet is perfectly fine without the world wide web and isn't useless on its own.
Good analogy. The WWW is just a surface layer interface. People, myself included, used the internet for other purposes before the WWW came along. When I was in university, a math professor there was using email to collaborate with a colleague in Australia on research.
No, I disagree that I was conflating the internet with the WWW.
Well you absolutely were conflating the two and I have no idea why it is so hard for you to admit you were mistaken. Some humility would do you some good.
Absolutely you were. You said you found that Tim Berners-Lee invented the internet. You literally made that claim. If that's not conflating the two, what the fuck is?
No, but ironically, she killed the deputy.
The perils of moon hoaxing and quick search scrolling topics you have no idea about for the purpose of serving some weirdo grudge against America. And my god, to do it on the day, in the very thread that our beloved and freshly minted American citizen @fingercuffs had only wished to celebrate exercising a Constitutional Right guaranteed to her by the 19th Amendment. For Shame.
Credit to @Hog-train and @Chad R. Thundercock for indirectly and unintentionally instigating all of this shit. You've done a fine service, boys.
My reply to this is huge cut of SPEAK FOR YOURSELF sandwiched in-between two slices of THAT'S YOUR OPINION.
Well... I am living proof that you don't speak for all republicans.
Democrats definitely. On DAY ONE Biden signed something to allow men into women's sports (didn't Biden just try to reinforce some kind of bill last month to further ensure this?). Many lefties on this board either turn a blind eye to it or go the "why do you care!!", "what's the obsession!?!?!!" routes in order for the topic to go away.
only the REALLY hardcore conservatives. And even many ignore it when it's a pregnancy due to rape or incest. When if comes to abortion after 7 months.... That's when it gets dicey.
Democrats are very much facilitating this. Really pissing people off about it also.
true that
