If he invented the internet, then why can't he invent an alternative fuel source.
I mean if they could just bottle up all the hot air he spews, they could probably run one of his private jets he is always travelling around while he claims to be carbon nutral.
He is tring giving away all these carbon credits (also giving to himself) ,all the while hard working truck drivers are burning up all that diesel geting it from point "A" to point "B"...
He's saying in essence... Do as I say, not as I do!
Along with most all the other tree huggers out there I guess...

Because the claim that he said he invented the internet is a lie you are telling. You have added several other lies too. Indeed, there is nothinbg factual in your post.
Why?
Must you constantly bathe us in lies you pilfer from the rightwing hate machine that have absolutely no approximation to reality. You can't provide a quote of Gore claiming he invented the internet, be cause he never said it, a fact that if you actually don't already know, then you are more irresponsible and curder than you seem.
Why not stop the lies?

Al Gore was merely making a "reference" to the internet at a speech and was misquoted as saying he invented the internet. Everyone and their dog who is not blinded by propaganda knows this.

In actuallity, the discussion was on the past federal spending on what had become the Internet to change it from a system limited to the use of only a small group of Federal research labs to the use by the public and the terminologies used to describe it and it's various parts.
The earliest bills to fund expanding those first links of a few federal labs were mosttly bills sponcered by Gore and the name, "The information Super Highway", had been a moniker used to give other congressmen and the public a feel for what the money request were aimed at. That name had come from Gore's offices.
That being the discussion at the time, Gore responded, "Yes, I sort of invented that."
Hopelessly ignorant of the facts and almost as ignorant of the internet in its eary lives, particularly, Rush Limbuagh, the Doper and Super Hypocrit, and the Wide Mouth Without a Brain, Sean Hannity, of the far right, not recognizing that the funding for developement of the early configurations of the interneta and "The Information Super Highway", as a term, was the subject, not the full fledged internet that developed therefrom, like all far rightwingers do when anything quasi technical comes up, misconstrued and misquoted. When later they had their ignorance and confusion explained to them, they, as loyal far rightwing republicans, refused to admit ignorance or to correct their errors. Thus, it became an out an out lie.

Al quoted... "During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the internet..."
So since the word "invent" is soooo diferent a word than "create"...(oh wait, it's not)anyway...
If he "created" the internet, then why can't he "create" an alternative fuel source.LOL!

No, I'm not splitting hairs, you are lying.
First, you want to take a snippit out of context and report only it, so as to hide the actual point of the discussion, then you alter the words to suit your sickening rightwing agenda.
His was a response to questions about funding the early development of the internet and the term "The Information Super Highway". It isn't a quote, unless you arte attributing it to Fat Rush, the Doper and Super Hypocrit.
Now, let's ask some simple questions for you to answer. What did you ever do? Anything other than ridicule others that have done thing? What did you ever do that provided anything for the human race or even your neighbors?

Funny. I create super highways...all my myself too, with no help from anybody else
Ironically, even working on Al Gore Sr.s', making it wider/safer for all the non-drivers out there.
yeah, there's no telling how many lives I've saved with all the roads I've straightened, widened, or constructed in my 10 years on the job.
What have you done brain?

By the way, the response Gore gave, since I heard it and didn't need to rely on RNC propaganda to know, was, "Yeah, I sort of invented that". He did not say "the internet", since the question was to speak of his conribution by championing in Congress the bills that funded the developement of the internet and in the coining of the term "The Information Super Highway".
In fact, had Gore not championed the cause that eventually became the internet in Congress, it probably would yet be no more than a handful of ocassionally connected Federal laboratories. He is responsible for the vision to see that it could be more.
Uh huh, 10 years in the highway construction. Feeding which machine or driving which grader or bulldozer. As an old time professional in honest to god highway construction theory, I can promise you that no one, you in particular, can "...create super highways...all my myself too, with no help from anybody else"
Then, to respond to your query, beyond a number of professional papers on highway construction and deterioration, I have worked in several other technical and professional fields and been director of several chariatable social projects and agencies. (Oh, and thare are just a few mathematical publications, but you wouldn't want to get into the nitty-gritty of continuum theory or totally discontinuous functions.)

More lies.
I never said " all my myself too, with no help from anybody else", you did, so why post it as a quote from me? Just to be telling more fibs and to act like you aren't the one doing so?
Gore, and no one else in Congress, did take the initive in Congres in creating the internet, which did not exists before his efforts and only came into bing because of his efforts.
Prior to those efforts and the programs it funded, the internet was not there. It came into being through the programs that Congress developed, championed by Gore, to expand a previously tiny network between a handfull of Government labs (which certainly was NOT the internet).
Try learning before you wise off.
Al Gore did not ever say he invented the internet. That is a rightwing lie. Al Gore did, correctly, accept credit for causing Congress to fund the inititive that created the internet.

Indeed it was, glass..., and it was not the internet, it was restricted to those few labs only on an ocassional basis, and had essentially no kin to what we now know as the internet (except it was there that transfering data from point to point a packets was construed) until Congress began funding ways to expand the concept on a wide scale. Even then, it didn't become the internet for a couple of more generations.

Oh, and I forgot to include, the military fought hard to keep the developements restricted to only their and specially classified entities. Gore was a principal in stopping that effort, which was necessary for the internet to come into fruition. otherwise, we would never have had an internet.

You're just not getting it, it's just going over your head I guess... could be the generation gap, maybe you just have to have the last word, maybe you just have a burning inside you that only Al Gore can extinguish.
Whatever the case... when I posted I created highways "all my myself too, with no help from anybody else" was what the joke was, you know as Big Al said."During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the internet..."
oh well, I guess some comedy is just wasted on the people exhibiting blind, prejudiced, and unreasoning allegiance.
Call me a lier one more time if it makes you feel so warm and cozy...

I get it, you like telling the lies that you are directed to by the RNC.
What you posted, with respect to highways, was not posted as a joke until I pointed out what you said is impossible.
Get it through your head, Al Gore never claimed he invented the internet. he did take credit for creating the Congressional impetus that resulted in the internet and without which the internet never would have come into being. You take misquotes out of contexr and that amounts ot lying. That I get.
Calling you a liar doesn't make me feel anything but honest.
I ask again, what have you ever done that amounts to a contribution to anything that isn't self or far righrwing propaganda?

Thay's why I put the rolling eyes after I said it bdgee. Maybe you should wright "a number of professional papers" on how to get a sense of humor.
By the way Gore did say..."During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the internet..."
So it's not a lie,jerk!

You again are taking things out of context, with your stated and intended implication of accusing Gore of having laid claim to "inventing the internet". He did not
In truth, the internet was "created" by a series of actions of the Congress, a series of actions which, indeed, was initiated by Gore. He did not say he "invented the internet, but it was his "initiative" that created that progress.
You are so politically biased and limited, that, when presented with factual information that doesn't abide by your bigoted goals, most inappropriately, you respond with insult and vulgarity. (A typical technique of the rightwing.)
Again:
GORE DID NOT EVER SAY HE INVENTED THE INTERNET and him accepting the responsibility for taking the initiave in Congress for the funding that created the internet is not a claim to have "invented" the internet.
"Maybe you should wright "a number of professional papers"".
hahaha. Good joke. Like a wheel wright straightens a wheel or a ships wright patches holes.
lol
"Wright" a paper. I'll have to remember that.
Shakesphere "wrighted" Macbeth amd Einstein "wrighted" Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper (On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies).
Splendid!
(I must insist, though, it seems obvious that Shakesphere "created" Macbeth but equally obvious that Einstien certainly "took the initiave" in developing the Theory of Relatively. He did not invent "relativity" and any claim he made toward taking the "iniative" on the study was NOT a claim of "inventing" a thing that Nature (maybe god) provided.)
(And I suppose, in order to conform to your usages standards and requirments, I need to rethink things and understand that Lyndon Johnson, who quite clearly was the major "initiator" of civil rights legislation of the 50s and 60s, must now be declared to be the "inventor" of civil rights?)

I just woke up, late, runnin' on a hangover with no coffee. Yeah, I wighted a typo...LOL still doesn't change the fact you have the sense of humor of Al Gore...
If he said he "sort of"(he also said he created) the internet... then I was "sort of" corect in my word placement LYER!
Also I used the word "if" he invented... Instead of "what IS, IS?"... What IF, IF?

Gore did not, in spite of your hatred of anything not far righwing and inability to handle even simple linguistic construdtions, ever say he invented the internet.
It is a figment of your warped fantsies and bias.
As to a sense of humor, clearly yours is missing the same intellectual depth that your political biases are.
He did not say he created the internet, but the effort in Congress that did, eventually, end up creating the internet.
Apparantly you are too limited to understand that lending money to mortgage a home does not make the bank guilty of cooking up goofy pills in the bathroom or trafficing in drugs because the homeowner to whome they loaned the money sold the goofy pills. Nor does the banker confess to the crime when he says he loaned the money for the home to the homeoner that is guilty of the crimes commited in the home.
Sure you used the word "if". That is a standard logical construct of the English language, which, when used in political discussion, is used to signify that the statement is made as a declaration of the the truth of the condition.
What you are is a loudmouth groupie of Fat Rush the Doper and Super Hypocrit or Anne Coulter himself or any other of the hate battallion from the far rightwing, meaning (probably) you are too simple to see through the falacies of the far rightwing hatred and lies and unwilling (maybe incapable of) to handle the language well enough to understand they concoct lies out of whole cloth that they know you will believe and pass around.
("corect" is not really "sort of correct".)
