      This is a post is a follow up to SCOTUS ruling that the president has the same powers as a dictator.

        I am certainly not trying to offend americans or any other group of people. Pointing out the country of origin of widely used inventions seems like vain patriotism. Do the Chinese tell you to stop using paper currency because you were dissatisfied with it, or complained about it at some time?

          No, but I’m not complaining about how Chinese people use paper currency and that it is made worse because so many Chinese people use paper currency. I’m sure if I did that, they would.

            I don’t know how you got the sense that I was complaining about “so many americans using the internet”. Just because I don’t like a set of posts made by a small group of people doesn’t mean that I have a disdain for the entirety of their countrymen who use the internet. Well, then again, I guess I should be on the North Korean network if I have a distate for certain things on the internet…
