A Eurocentric Utopia. Just think of it.....

Sounds hideously boring.

Some argue that California is the much better place everyone should follow, right?

Heaven preserve us from that! But why do we, or the Thais, have to follow anyone? Do you really want a world of lookalikes, thinkalikes, speakalikes, livealikes?

No, i don't want this. But there are some around at this board who argue as described above. Not me.

They will even tell you that the best French toast is made in California.

You can find people who will say anything... but you don't have to take any notice of them.

Do they make even French toast in France? They do not make English muffins in England.

Not that any such homogeny would ever have a chance, there are catatonic circles out there - we'll refer to them as the controllers - that are working overtime to see such task become reality. Beware of the false dominance.

Exactly. This culinary item known as French Toast is purely and exclusively an American invention.

This shouldn't be such a struggle to comprehend within the cultural boundaries that is 'merkin whom have borrowed and reinvented most everything to fit their cultural model. Little is original in America.

Catatonic circles? French toast? This is about the Thais? At least it's better than most of the generalisations about Thais on TV... it's totally irrelevant.

By the way, what is a catatonic circle?

Little is original in America.

Other than rock and roll, computer technology, Cajun cuisine and about a million other things.

The Sextant

The Colt Revolver

Video Games

The Atomic Bomb

The Oil Well

The Internet

The Motorcycle

and so on...

Nuclear fission?

Video Games?

The Sextant?

The Revolver?

:rolleyes::whistling:

As in original American inventions. :rolleyes:

As in pure American invention? :whistling:

if you don't believe it then look it up and prove it for yourself but your baiting tactics are tiresome.

The Motorcycle:

"Daimler´s Reitwagen" by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach, 1885, Stuttgart, Germany.

The World Wide Web:

Tim Berners-Lee, British scientist, 1990-91, at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland

The Oil Well:

347 AD Oil wells are drilled in China up to 800 feet [240 m] deep using bits attached to bamboo poles.

Nuclear fission:

Video Games

Did you believed it?

And what baiting tactic?

I give people the time to re-think their claims. And if someone doubt a claim the person who made the claim should be in the position to prove it or give at least little bit more information what exactly he means, elaborate his argument and not just only drop a few nouns.

The World Wide Web:

Tim Berners-Lee, British scientist, 1990-91, at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland

I don't feel like wasting my time on your list, since my link does it for me, but. just for example I said THE INTERNET which was invented in first by DARPA, an American military organization, in 1969. The WWW is not the same thing.

Bait and argue with these guys. Besides the ones that I have listed, there are even more inventions that you can you can nitpick about (with yourself hopefully). :rolleyes:

http://www.ugo.com/b...can-inventions/

Yeah, they got it wrong.

Pure American invention.

Not a bait, i gave you plenty time to check your statement.

Btw. there are plenty of things that are truly original American.

You could still challenge zzaa09s claim: Little is original in America.

But not with the list above.

I wonder if Chop Suey will pass the bkkeddy originality test? :lol:

A number of seriously off-topic posts have been removed. Re-read the OP and stick roughly to the topic.

You have been warned to stop baiting and trolling by Admin. Warnings and suspensions WILL follow.
