Disclaimer & comment rulesWow! Great contribution to humanity. Just nice to know that there is someone with experience in moving a whole bunch of junk around.
Nov 08th, 2012 - 12:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0ProRG - moving junk is a serious and profitable business in a consumption driven society. Even CFK champions consumption. This is a great example of innovation that is instrumental in assisting industry (in this case the industry responsible for allowing me to fill up the Jag).

Well we've already given humanity the concept of vaccination (saved more lives than any other invention), so we're in credit on the contribution front.

@1 “supposed yank” “Wow! Great contribution to humanity.”

@3 Orbit. Well said.
Nov 08th, 2012 - 10:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0If you take away all the inventions and innovations toward Health and the Sciences that has reached the world from The British Isles you would still be in the stone age. ( A bit like Argentina really ! )
On a more poignant note ProRG, Guzz etc ! what benefits to the world have the S.As. produced, ( Do not include the Amerindians ! )
@1 What do you care? At what point in the future are you “hoping” to become part of “humanity”?
Nov 08th, 2012 - 12:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@4 You may have made a false assumption. There are apparently some in LatAm that like to refer to themselves as “Americans”. This demonstrates a number of things. (1) A desperate need for “importance”. If you were to say to 90% of the world's population that someone was an “American”, would they not naturally assume that person to be a national of the United States? (2) Shame over actual nationality. Would a Canadian refer to themselves as “American”? Of course not. They would rightly be proud to say that they were Canadian. (3) Feelings of insignificance. Actually sounds like a typical argie!
