He did invent the internet afterall. from Post #: 39 Prediction: The next few weeks are going to be filled with haters,who are just jealous of a good man. Remember,these haters believe that Gore claimed to have "invented the Internet".With stupidity like that,you can expect all kinds of funny,silly,mean,vile,pathetic,player hate`n stuff,to come at Gore. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I must be a psychic .I predicted that the GOP victims, and the easily duped ,would mention this.lol

quote: Gore, who appeared somber rather than elated over the award, said, "For my part, I will be doing everything I can to try to understand how to best use the honor and recognition of this award as a way of speeding up the change in awareness and the change in urgency." This sticks out..... makes me think, ahhhh, maybe Al does plan on running. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071012/ts_nm/nobel_peace_gore_reaction_dc_5

quote: ORIGINAL: philosophy ...not having read Gore's autobiography i was not aware of his having cut the number of ships in the US navy. Thanks for the heads up. Mind you, i'm not sure how that makes him directly responsible for the deaths of people aboard the USS Cole......wouldn't the terrorists have a piece of that? However, on the point you make regarding the use of the film in classrooms......all history is, to some extent, partisan. All criticism of literature is, of necessity, biased by the mind of the author. Basically, it seems to me, that as long as Gore's film is accompanied by explanatory notes it has value in a classroom setting. I don't doubt that there is indeed value in watching it, I was just amused by the timing of the conflicting 'awards'. As far as the Cole goes, of course I don't see any indication of Gore directly causing the explosion... But someone in his position, who knew or should have known about the trial runs against other ships of the same class in the same situation (unsecured ports), and who knew the security reasons behind replenishment at sea, but still brags about dismantling the practice, can hardly be thought of as blameless. Sometimes politicians make a decision for political gain, and the consequences suck for other people... this appears to be such a case.

I would like to listen to/read something, but you seldom give Me anything to listen to/read. It appears you either do not have a response, or you are so elitest that you do not feel it is worthwhile to explain. If one does not automatically understand (and agree with) your view of things, they are not worth your time? Do you have an argument that is clear an concise? If so, make it. If not, stand down.

A documentary that has to have a disclaimer done by teachers before they show it is NOT flawed? I see no semantic argument in my statement. As for my question...while mostly rhetorical, I don't think there is an answer that makes sense. And apparently...judging by the answers of many others on here...I am not the only one who thinks so. And it has nothing to do with my level of intelligence though it might have quite a bit to do with not being easily misled by a doomsayer.

quote: ORIGINAL: farglebargle HOWEVER, Since Vint and Bob GIVE AL CREDIT for being the Politician Most Responsible for The Internet As We Know It, WHO AMONG US HAS THE CREDIBILITY TO DISAGREE???? Working to increase the availability of the Internet is not inventing it; Vint & Bob would be the first to agree that Gore didn't invent it. Nor was there just one guy who "invented" the internet. For more info, look into the book Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins of the Internet, by Katie Hafner and Matthew Lyon. thornhappy

Anyone else find it a tad ironic that someone who championed the internet, which increases global warming due to power usage worldwide, wins an award for warning against global warming ?
