That's because a lot of us have British relatives, like the rest of the country. We're just talking hypothetically, killing time before the game arrives. Mongoose probably won't bring out Aussies anyway. I don't think anyone seriously believes Australia would fight Britain so you can sleep soundly tonight.
:lol: Priceless Mr.Evil, priceless.

Its true that the US doesnt export as much as is let on (Remember all those stupid movie plots where the bread belt of America's wiped out and somehow this results in the world starving?) since most of the companies cottoned onto the fact that they can get it made in sweat shops across the border, but that said I dont think anyone who uses a computer, or watches movies can claim to have nothing originating from the USA...
Unless you use and Amiga and only watch Anime or something...

Thats true, but Im willing to bet all of the sites you access are part of it, and use the HTML developed by that bloke.
Since we were discussing things made in America MR.Evil isn't entirly wrong.

Of which the WWW is a part, more to the point the part which you're using right now...
As far as Im aware the ARPA network wasn't really all that much, the main reason its credited with being the invention of the internet is because thats when the TCP/IP's were laid down. I'll conceed it was invented then, in the same way that the Romans invented electriciy. If thats the internet then so were the BBS I was using in the 80's.
Its like the completly eronius suggestion that Baird (Not sure on the spelling) invented the television. He might have come up with a rudimentry mechanicle system for sending images but it bears little if any resembelance to whats actually in use at the present.

internet invnted by a forigner
america see his invention and wish to develop it for their military.
forign bloke is then given an american passport, and nationality, this way the internet is an invention of an americn, he wasnt an american when he invented it, but was given american nationality along with some others, so in that way it is an american invention, but only by od means.
its like an american inventing a teleporter now and then given british citezinship a few months later so it can be claimed as a british invention if you will.
thats all i was pointing out.
any way this is straying way of topic.
interesting thing on news this morning was they recon in 10-30 years time climate change will make france and spain uninhabitable.. i find it hard to believe, but would make land wars possable for migrating nations.

Using extreme extraploations is nothing new. I remember when I was at school the "experts" told us that the whole of England would be turned into an endless city by 2000. It made agood news story and got alot of people excited, and may have helped fortify some of the green belt planning laws. Of course it was never going to happen, but was a useful catalyst for change.

hehe i remeber at scool watchin a video about england i worked out then id be about 25-30 and im 33 now !!! eek 34 this month
any way the vid said we would have to wear silver suits to reflect the harmful sunrays, and we would have to ahve self powered homes with things like solarpanels and electric cars.
i spose they need to sue shock to promote action, if they said, well it will be a bit warmer and ice cream will be on sale at the sea side for longer, we wouldnt realy be to bothered about changing our ways
mmm ice cream.The Internet (not to be confused with World Wide Web):

The World Wide Web (not to be confused with the Internet, which may or may not be a series of tubes):
So, the CERN folks made an add-on to the Internet, which was a US DOD project that was developed out of the Academic world.
Ergo, the US Invented the Internet.

a book printed in 1976 says Vinton Cerf employed by (ARPA) invented the internet that conected computers together in 1973, but his director an american by education Robert Kahn has also been aknowledged for its Development. As we all know history can be wrewriten so many times, the germans in WW2 said they were the originators of the king arthur tales as a way of getting a more interesting history for national pride.
the internet was certainly developed by a majority of americans, but its invention, is not quite so clear cut.
also it depends what you class as an internet ? if you mean computers comunicating over a distance, then late WW2 has examples of coding machines doing this, as they were computing machines they do clasify as computers, but this is all by the by in an international world. computers to europe are not imported via the us, and if the us disapeared tomorow of the face of the earth, the internet would still work.
if america decided to stop use of the internet, that would not cause a war, and i think thats part of the topic of this thread, its not who invented what or who exsports what, its more how exports would be relevent to a game of BF-evo for missions or reasons for going to war.
