    I don’t have the need to know it. But the comfort of rubes is not a reason to persist in a backward unit.

    But again, the US is such a backward and sick country in so many other ways, that is even better they keep acting backwards. It’s a reminder to the rest of the world to keep our distance.

      That’s not particularly nice. I said nothing ill against you, and I feel it’d be implied by my question that I am one of the “rubes” you’re speaking of. Such an unwarranted jab.

      And wishing for the suffering of 300,000,000 people is cruel.

        I’ll tell you what: when your country stops destroying other countries (including mine) for profit, I’ll see if I can develop any empathy for you. Until then, you don’t deserve it.
