A) Slavery
B) The Confederacy
C) Genocide of the Native Americans
D) Segregation
E) The Second Red Scare
F) Don't Ask, Don't Tell
G) The Patriot Act

Yeah, the English were and still are in awe of America's freedom :rolleyes:

Certainly you're 'free' in America, so long as you aren't Black, Native American, Communist, Homosexual, Arab or Muslim.

Not really. The invention of machines, the adoption of the factory system and the use energy (usually in the form of heat/steam) were the main factors that led to this period of industrialisation being called the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution was a technological revolution and I'm not convinced about the French Revolution laying the groundwork for the period.
Unfortunately you'll find that these kind of retorts are standard for him. :sadnod:

:P As frustrating as it was have a 'debate' with him, it was evident that he had no clear argument based on facts and when challenged on a point just moved without responding :troll:

However this has made me look like some venture capitalist who thinks that the sun shines of the Industrial Revolution's proverbial - in reality I believe in 2 or 3 other 'revolutions' which changed the world more, but I've not been shot down on the IR to move on to these yet :P

The Neolithic Revolution - Agriculture allowed us to actually have time to build a civilization and, you know, create a history.

The Green Revolution: food production has improved by 250% since the 1960s and without it we would all probably be dead, starving or impoverished for want of cheaper food. A lot of credit goes to India on this one.

The Information Revolution: probably the most important development in human history, and possibly in the history of the planet, because it's this ongoing revolution which could (will?) eventually lead to a technological singularity and the prospect of us becoming something fundamentally more than we are. We produced as much information last year as we did in the first 250,000 years of our existence.
