Why did it take you fellers so long, and seems we are doing all the advancements, starting with your computer.

Yeah… it was an English guy who invented the modern computer. A gay English guy.
However, calculators were invented much earlier… in Europe.

And the people who built America in 400 years, did they start as cavemen? Or did they carry thousands of years worth of knowledge with them?

It seems to me that “the article” you lost was some part of some dream or brain fart.

China builds cars, too. You need to go to debate school. I wonder if they use an assembly line, invented in the USA.
Inform us all of the many inventions out of Ireland. Y'all are great fiddlers, but you didn't even invent that. Shav invented the wooden shoe.

Alan Turing. A true genius.

Bill Gates did nothing original; he merely reverse engineered what others had already done, and rebranded it as his own.

The Chinese also had paper and printing before Gutenberg.

you are failing... it should have been a gay english guy with a huge cock

several forms of calculators were invented...It was bill gates that invented an operating system that the average person could use.

I respectfully disagree, simply because, with all the knowledge brought here from Europe, et al, we seem to have surpassed, in 400 years, all of Europe and certainly the east in every advancement. Y'all had the same knowledge, but seem to have ground to a comfortable halt.....we don't slow down.
Define 'every advancement' any way you can imagine.
