No it's true. Teddy Roosevelt personally broke into his house and stole his tesla coils. All that stuff you read in the history books about him moving to the US, becoming a citizen, and patenting all his work is a myth.
A pox upon wicked neo if he moves this to the pdd. |

its not a myth but many of the concepts he came up with were stolen and given credit to others. Edison was a great inventor but much of his stuff was "borrowed" from Tesla.
Im only half sure about the breaking in thing but alot of the people Ive spoken to who are familiar with him say it happend.. |

A) Tesla worked for Edison and later quit to start up his own company
B) Tesla became an American so your point is moot |

A&B) he migrated to America but he came up with alot of his initial concepts while living in Serbia. and that still doesent take a way from the fact that Edison (who was born in America) was given credit for alot of his work. |

It's envy. We have everything. Everything good comes from here. All the movies they watch, the good tv (not thier local crap programming), all the good music (except trance), all the inventions in their house (TV, phone, light bulb, car, microwave) |
are you trolling? that's one of the most moronic posts i've seen in TA. i don't like Hollywood movies, I don't like your kind of TV, i don't like most american music at all and as for the inventions the other people have already answered to that.
if anything a reason for envy would be the ridiculous militar and political power your nation currently has.

i wonder why most stores here stay open until 7 pm, and the malls stay until after midnight. we must be breaking some EU rule.

Nokia and Kimi Raikkonen?
Joris Voorn? legal drugs?
stren's chops? (ok this was hard i admit :haha: )
BMWs?
awesome chocolates?
