"If a tree falls in a forest, and no one's there, does it make a sound?" answered in TF2 - General

Newsflash! It doesn't matter which country invented what, because it's still humans that invented it.

lets turn this into a over analytical debate of who is smarter than who.

Gonna copy and paste that answer whenever someone ask.

That wasn't 'smart'. Are you guys stupid or something? He just said everything in a 'I know everything' way with a high and mighty upper-class accent.

[QUOTE=Calasmere;25617127]That wasn't 'smart'. Are you guys stupid or something? He just said everything in a 'I know everything' way with a high and mighty upper-class accent.[/QUOTE] He was right though. It made perfect sense.

I wish everyone talked like that

I don't understand what all the fuss was about. The man answered the question. How is he gay? Does having a cock in your mouth make you speak with correct pronunciation? probably not. Also, newsflash: Britain made america the way it is today. If we didn't send those nutty catholics over to America, who knows what would of happen.

He answered the question perfectly while covering every possible existing application of it. The question was indeed originally meant to be perceived as a symbolism of perception, yet when literal scientific meaning is added to the formula, it also benefits the symbolic part of it. The question basically asks "If human perception does not register something, does it still exist?", and the answer is yes, human perception is nothing but an instrument of registration and receival, the existence of something is virtually never reliant on it unless the existence of that something is entirely dependent on the human mind, such as something fictional.

[QUOTE=Hardpoint Nomad;25614754]And this is why Britain is smarter than us.[/QUOTE] Because everything sounds smart in a British accent.

[QUOTE=Torfaldur;25615231]america today: dumb america during the 18-19 century, due to immigrants moving to america for better life = smart.[/QUOTE] Lol the opposite is true. The USA took off during the mid 20th century. That's a basic fact of US History.

"Nooooo, I'm just not an idiot". Kudos to this man.

[QUOTE=Dirty_Ape;25619437]Because everything sounds smart in a British accent.[/QUOTE] That is very true. Also often in a german accent.

I would have liked to hear their reaction if the same answer was given in a thick southern accent.

[QUOTE=Whatsinaname;25619828]I would have liked to hear their reaction if the same answer was given in a thick southern accent.[/QUOTE] That would be quite ironic.

ITT: Sore americans and pompous british people arguing about an incredibly dumb topic.

I would love to have his accent And on the subject of america V britain, america has attempted to take credit for a few thing they didn't make. For example, the computer and the first aircraft (Read: not first powered aircraft)

What he said is pretty simple to understand, it's how fast and accurately he says it that impress me.

Does a bear shit in the woods?

Funny x67, nothing funny.

that's philosophic, really

[QUOTE=Joker169;25624105]that's philosophic, really[/QUOTE] No, its not.

Wow, that response was incredibly fast and accurate.

Derailed faster than a speeding bullet.

[QUOTE=paul simon;25624229]Wow, that response was incredibly fast and accurate.[/QUOTE] It'd be more impressive if it wasn't an extremely common question. Of course he had a prepared answer from hearing it so much.

[QUOTE=Vashkin;25624302]It'd be more impressive if it wasn't an extremely common question. Of course he had a prepared answer from hearing it so much.[/QUOTE] That does not stop it from being an excellent answer though. He most likely did hear the question before and decided to thoroughly prepare a well phrased well built answer, and I see absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Wow. That was an excellent answer, in an amazing accent. Pure gold.

[QUOTE=Joker169;25624105]that's philosophic, really[/QUOTE] Do you even know what philosophy means? Also it's "That's philosophical, really." not philosophic.

lol guys lets bandwagon on america being dumb in a thread thats on TF2
