Let's face it on this topic you have stated the Gore/internet thing was only a joke and then you parsed his quote to something that implied something different. You're are not a source worthy of me digging verification for especially since you can't be bothered to back up your own statements.

I parsed Gore's statement? The Berkeley paper that you cited states "Using a content analysis of the top 50 newspapers in the United States (and a smaller content analysis of web pages on the Net ) we show that people more often quoted Gore as saying he `invented' the internet than what he actually said (i.e., he `took the initiative in creating' the internet)." Maybe you should read your own sources. Note, too, that I used the word "apparently" in representing what he said, since I was getting my information secondhand (i.e., from the Berkeley paper). Credibility? You obviously see what you want to see. You're a child.

Moreover, even if Gore said what you said he did, it looks like puffery to me. A more realistic assessment of his role might be that he took initiative in helping to create the Internet. Contrary to your contention, it is not fair to say that putting forth bills that advanced and popularized the internet is creating it as it is today. That may have been an assistance in creation; it was not creation. We could also get more deeply into what the bills were, what his role and intentions were, etc.: things are not always what they seem. Right?

What he actually said as one sentence is 'during my service in Congress, I took the intiative in creating the internet.' Which is to say he took intiative as part of congress which yes did (help) create the internet. Prior to government involvement it was a series of intranets connected to various computers. There is no single birth. He did not say he created it, he said he took intiative in creating it as in an ongoing process which he was PART of as PART of congress. Yes saying he helped would have been more accurate but it still falls way short from saying he invented it.

Keep reading there is an interesting analysis on english speaking non americans reading the actual quote to assess the language without the planted notion of the false quote which you clearly hold strongly as the non child you believe you are.

Sorry commenting on anyone's weight lacks relevance to me and causes you pain. Guess that comes from your vast maturity.

As I said, you see what you want to see. I've never said at any point that I believed Gore said he invented the Internet. Perhaps I was wrong before about no one here being retarded. You're pathetic.

It's a goof, dimwit. If you don't want to participate, then fine. But to comment seriously on the lack of relevance of repeated comments from others that are obviously a goof is, again, pathetic.

Stop taking yourself so seriously. You don't merit it.
