TCCANARY 263 Posted March 18, 2016 During the space race the Americans spent thousands of dollars and many many hours developing a pen that worked in zero gravity, the Russians just carried on using pencils. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cornish sam 922 Posted March 18, 2016 Gainer - I''m not waivering, the technology advancement was made by non-Americans, I used sequestered to change things up a bit, the gist is the same, you took stuff and hid it away to use for your own end.The reason that the people that you stole the technology off didn''t get there first was because they only had part of the solution and then either lost a war or didn''t have the resources and political will to follow through on it. IF the Nazis had won the war they would have most likely been on the moon at least 10 years before the Americans. The whole thing about getting to the moon was nothing more than a willy waving exercise, the cold war by proxy, once you had got there there was no point in anyone else going there, that is why it''s over 30 years since the last man set foot on the moons surface. If you want to start down a reasoned debate about the wider issues that you''ve got wrong in your last paragraph then I am more than willing to join you, but suffice to say, a few really smart people don''t make up for a nation of dimwits and if you want to look at who has made way more than their fair share of worldly advancements take a look at the achievements of Brits.

Gainer the Gopher 0 Posted March 18, 2016 You said the space race, so yes the Russians did get there first. TCI did say the Space Race, yes, but I also clearly was specifically talking about landing on the moon. But even if not, so what! The Russians were first in space, but where were the British? All you''ve ever done is hitch rides with others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gainer the Gopher 0 Posted March 18, 2016 I''m quite familiar with what the Space Race was about TC. Make all the excuses you want for countries not getting to the moon before, at the same time, or ever. The fact is we did. Nobody else came up with a space shuttle, either. You can''t blame that on dick waving or WWII rebuilding. Who created nuclear weapons to force an end to the war? It''s your excuse making (a few really smart people in a land of dimwits) that is lamest of all. You have it backwards. We have a relatively few dimwits in a land of well trained and educatedpeople. It''s idiotic to think a land dominated by stupidity could create such amazing culture, engineering, technology etc. So reasoned debate with you seems unlikely. But really, if your countrymen would stop the "America is dumb" nonsense, the topicwwould remain what it started out as. it''s your people who derail threads and then get upset about it.Yes, the Brits made amazing advancements...... hundreds of years ago. What have you done lately? Very little compared to us (he said, waving his) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gainer the Gopher 0 Posted March 18, 2016 Why? Because I don''t take your abuse? mort is weeping at the cold hard truth, but he has his own website to talk NCFC, which he purports to be his preference. But he can''t bully there so he comes here. Too bad for him some of us fight back and then some! Glass houses, throwing stones, and all that, people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katie Borkins 1 Posted March 18, 2016 I would be more worried about what you are revealing about your own character, Gainer. So far we have had bigotry, ignorance, an inability to use facts, personal smear attacks and national triumphalism based on a moon landing when at the same time your countrymen were dropping napalm on Vietnamese villagers.It would be a shame if you were banned as your words should stand as testament to your toxic character.
