Oda_Nobunaga Posted November 26, 2004 Xoogsade i think you made a couple of errors on that list. Steam engine.. Wasnt it the James watt the scotish guy. Locomotive .. Stevenson British analog computer.. Charles babbage in the 1880's first thought of it. Alan turing was behind the theory of computing all British Motorcycle Ok an American caller roper sylvester biult a steam powered motorcylce that ran on coal. but how practicle is that. The first Real motorcyle with a petrol engine was made by daimler a german. Rockets & Liquid Fuel ... Goddard only invented the liqued fuled rocket not Rockets. The first open heart surgery was done in south africa. The manhatten project that resulted in the atomic bomb was dominated by recently immigrated german and british scientists, american born scientists were a small minority. If you walked around the labs in new mexico in the 40's , you would think you were in germany but for the weather. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LANDER Posted November 26, 2004 Originally posted by Xoogsade: A list of American Inventions Telephone(do I need to mention the importance) Alexander Graham Bell was a scottish born Canadian, don't get it twisted now. He lived and studied in Canada, conceived the idea of speech through a wire with animal intestins in Canada, and he later died and was buried in Canada. Which by all accounts makes him canadian . The americans like usual step in with their dollar bills and later claim inventions. He was number 10 on the conceived list of greatest Canadians of all time (CBC) although I thought he should have been top 5. I'ts probably because 3 countries claim this man as their own. http://www.cbc.ca/greatest/top_ten/nominee/bell-alexander-graham.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king_450 Posted November 26, 2004 Oh this bothers, King/Queens to rule the world, Oh British ppl wake up, your accent, you of all people are nothing more than "Drunken Americans". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xoogsade Posted November 27, 2004 If a certain inventor is Brittish, scottish, Irish, Or German in origin, In America, They are Just Americans and their Origin is given no consideration. America does buy smart people and gives them Citizenship. Very good idea if you ask me. And then America is nothing more than an Immigrant Society in the first place.

NASSIR Posted November 29, 2004 I was just wondering why the U.S dollar currency is losing its value. The president wants that in order American products be cheaper worldwide and to devalue the bond holders of foreign investors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
