I didn't call it "the nation of Turtle Island." You did.
Y'know, when you make something up, ascribe it to me, and then argue against it, you're really just talking to yourself. And you can sit in the corner and do that. No fancy computron needed.
Just a thought.
Hey, Colpy. I asked you a question. You haven't answered.
So I'll ask again, just for the pleasure of seeing you run like a bunny again.
If the right to a face-to-face confrontation "trumps anything else" (your words), why are there various provisions in Canada for allowing statements in evidence when the accused does not get his face-to-face confrontation, such as dying declarations, children as witnesses, and unavailable witnesses?
Great, then there's nothing to talk about then regarding anyone transforming Turtle Island into a unrecognizable nation by someone else as it wasn't a nation to begin with.
Thanks for clearing that up.
BTW - It was Gore that invented the interweb; it's kinda disingenious that you assume the credit for the technology when clearly you didn't have a hand in it.
Just a thought for ya
Gore never claimed to have invented the internet. Such statements are lies. Are you repeating them out of malice or ignorance? And which of those is more pathetic?
Sure he did.... But that's an aside here really.
When you stated that "we invented the internet" - does this mean that TB had an active role in its development or are you just looking to bask in the glow of an accomplishment that is entirely undeserved on your part?
No, he didn't, and no amount of assurance on your part will change that. He said he was instrumental in the development of the internet, which Bennett Cerf, among others, says is true.
Disagree? Produce a quote. That's the easy way to settle it.
In this case "we" means the United States. It's a flexible pronoun and context-dependent. You might could wanna study up on that some.
Nope... Gore said it - no 2 ways about it.
[SIZE=-1] Gore and the Internet "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet" Gore said when asked to cite accomplishments that separate him from another Democratic presidential hopeful, former Sen. Bill Bradley of New Jersey, during an interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN on March 9, 1999.
[SIZE=-1]So, I assume [SIZE=-1]that[/SIZE] this is now settled?[/SIZE][/SIZE]
Gore (and TB) defeated by the very invention that they seek to assume credit for.

And what if her modesty forbade her to talk to strangers? Should she be allowed to testify in writing?
What she perceives as her modesty runs up against the laws and culture of our society; therefore, yes, she needs to adapt. The court absolutely made the right decision.
Writing notes would easily qualify as immodest.... By all accounts, it may be virtually impossible for this woman to communicate on this issue in any way at all
I think you're way off base here. American participation makes this a more interesting place.
Thank you. That was useful.
I actually checked this out. Turns out that Gore was instrumental in getting funding for the projects that led to the internet. Bennett Cerf and several other internet pioneers say so. They say that in the early days, when they went to the Senate, only Gore had any knowledge or interest in what they were talking about.
I understand that the difference between "taking the initiative in inventing the internet" and "inventing the internet" is difficult for you.
I don't think 'what if' matters. She isn't forbidden to talk to strangers, there's no point making up cases, hers is the one being decided on.
It's just a nudge to see how far you would be willing to go in supporting notions of "personal modesty"
You're entitled to your opinion. I gather it's not a popular one in Canada, and now it's also not accepted in the courts. That won't change your mind, but the important thing is that your view doesn't gain any currency.
Gore doesn't understand that though... Your personal misinterpretation of the facts just doesn't cut it.
