Well, I'm not in the habit of taking things at face value or accepting them as "common knowledge" without first ascertaining whether they're true or not. Call me picky...You do research on things you believe to be common knowledge? I'll bet not.

Then how did you become a lefty?Well, I'm not in the habit of taking things at face value or accepting them as "common knowledge" without first ascertaining whether they're true or not.
I'm not. That's just some silly label you attach to people you disagree with. As it is, America didn't "invent the internet". You've been corrected on that and you're welcome.Then how did you become a lefty?
THE ORIGINS OF THE INTERNETThen as before you need to do some research before issuing a statement without substance. No one person invented the internet although Tim Berners-Lee created the world wide web. The origins of how we got to where we are now go back to many different people including from America and the UK so it's childish to pretend that the internet is an American invention just as it would be for me to claim it was a British one. Not only childish in fact but stupid.

A short history of the internet | National Science and Media Museum
Read about the history of the internet, from its 1950s origins to the World Wide Web’s explosion in popularity in the late 1990s and the ‘dotcom bubble’.www.scienceandmediamuseum.org.uk
No argument. The internet itself wasn't invented by one person from one country alone however. Tim Berners-Lee probably played the most pivotal role in what we have today:THE ORIGINS OF THE INTERNET
The origins of the internet are rooted in the USA of the 1950s.
When asked to explain my role in the creation of the internet, I generally use the example of a city. I helped to build the roads—the infrastructure that gets things from point A to point B.
—Vint Cerf, 2007
There was no “Eureka!” moment. It was not like the legendary apple falling on Newton’s head to demonstrate the concept of gravity. Inventing the World Wide Web involved my growing realisation that there was a power in arranging ideas in an unconstrained, weblike way. And that awareness came to me through precisely that kind of process. The Web arose as the answer to an open challenge, through the swirling together of influences, ideas, and realisations from many sides.
—Tim Berners-Lee, Weaving the Web, 1999

WHO INVENTED THE INTERNET?
No one person invented the internet. When networking technology was first developed, a number of scientists and engineers brought their research together to create the ARPANET. Later, other inventors’ creations paved the way for the web as we know it today.
• PAUL BARAN (1926–2011)
An engineer whose work overlapped with ARPA’s research. In 1959 he joined an American think tank, the RAND Corporation, and was asked to research how the US Air Force could keep control of its fleet if a nuclear attack ever happened. In 1964 Baran proposed a communication network with no central command point. If one point was destroyed, all surviving points would still be able to communicate with each other. He called this a distributed network.
• LAWRENCE ROBERTS (1937–2018)
Chief scientist at ARPA, responsible for developing computer networks. Paul Baran’s idea appealed to Roberts, and he began to work on the creation of a distributed network.
• LEONARD KLEINROCK (1934–)
An American scientist who worked towards the creation of a distributed network alongside Lawrence Roberts.
• DONALD DAVIES (1924–2000)
A British scientist who, at the same time as Roberts and Kleinrock, was developing similar technology at the National Physical Laboratory in Middlesex.
• BOB KAHN (1938–) AND VINT CERF (1943–)
American computer scientists who developed TCP/IP, the set of protocols that governs how data moves through a network. This helped the ARPANET evolve into the internet we use today. Vint Cerf is credited with the first written use of the word ‘internet’.
• PAUL MOCKAPETRIS (1948–) AND JON POSTEL (1943–98)
Inventors of DNS, the ‘phone book of the internet’.
• TIM BERNERS-LEE (1955–)
Creator of the World Wide Web who developed many of the principles we still use today, such as HTML, HTTP, URLs and web browsers.
• MARC ANDREESSEN (1971–)
Inventor of Mosaic, the first widely-used web browser.
Even worse. Republicans are worse than Democrats because Republicans are frauds. You've learned nothing from Bob Enyart if you didn't learn that.So Republicans are almost as bad as Democrats?
Democrats are far more fraudulent than their opponents.Even worse. Republicans are worse than Democrats because Republicans are frauds. You've learned nothing from Bob Enyart if you didn't learn that.
When rich people get extra money from tax cuts, it just makes them richer.
Yep, everything Bob Enyart said about that went right over your head.Democrats are far more fraudulent than their opponents.
