If it wasn't for Al Gore...

[Phoenix5]

Remember that Al Gore also invented the internet(so he says).

There's a difference between anal sex and tit-fucking.

 

[EricT]

Remember that Al Gore also invented the internet(so he says).

The exact reason I trust not a word of the man or anything he's connected with.

Fuck ARPANET.

 

[Kvlt Wench]

Good job in falling for republican propaganda.

Inventing the Internet. Did Al Gore Invent the Internet?

 

[Reminiscence]

Remember also that Al Gore destroyed the last ruler of the universe and is in fact GOD.

 

[EricT]

I don't go by republican propaganda, I go by his history and quotes about his involvement with ARPANET...

Not mentioned once within that article, do the research yourself.

 

[EricT]

Not to mention that site you have there is liberal propaganda. They have connections to bartcop (fuck Miss_Morgan, shes the liberal Ann Coulter of the internet), the most liberal sect of IRC known on the net.

 

[Kvlt Wench]

Okay, but he never claimed to "invent" the internet.

And disregarding him as a politician because of one badly phrased remark seems a little silly.

 

[derek]

On the contrary Gore was an able politician, but he has almost no charisma. I'm also pretty unconvinced by his endless rants about global warming.

 

[EricT]

He claimed to have a hand in ARPANET though... which was way before his time, and died before his time.

Thats the problem.

 

[Kvlt Wench]

Citation of that please?

 

[EricT]

give me a few to try and get the transcripts of the 99 blitzer interview, but read this:

Wired News: No Credit Where It's Due

in the mean time.

 

[EricT]

Still looking, but now I do remember Gore's agents wonderful cover for his comments on blitzer:

"was the leader in Congress on the connections between data transmission and computing power, what we call information technology. And those efforts helped to create the Internet that we know today."

Of course, he wasn't in congress when most of these hearings happened in 1968 - 1974, but hey, it was an awesome cover up.

 

[Kvlt Wench]

"Internet that we know today."

Not Altranet.

 

[EricT]

Before I continue, you do know what the ARPANET is, correct? Because by a statement like that, I can tell you are pretty oblivious to it.

 

[Kvlt Wench]

It was a precursor to the internet.

 

[EricT]

Not a exactly a precursor, ARPANET WAS the internet before the internet was the widely used term. Adopted for use by the DoD in the late 60's, early 70's, to much dismay for congress (which Al Gore was NOT a part of at this time), for many reasons which included computer flaws and other various crap.

The Arpanet opensource coding was eventually adopted into the internet.

Al Gore's claim to have invented the internet was covered up by an agent saying "Oh, he um meant, he had something to do with the efforts in congress to create the net we know today.", which anyone familiar with ARPANET would know all those hearings happened in the main years of ARPANET, 1968-1974.

And what year did Al Gore enter congress?

He was a law student when all this was happening.

 

[EricT]

And I haven't even started on The National Partnership for Reinventing Government.

But theres no such thing as global warming.

 

[EricT]

Also, why the hell is the theory called Global Warming? It should be called Global Temperate Change.
