12. You obviously have me mistaken for somebody

who thinks America created everything, invented everything, is the greatest place in the world and has all the bloody answers. I got news for you. I didn't always live in America. I have seen what other countries do differently and I know full well a whole other world exists outside of America. There are advances and inventions created all over the world. Don't lump me in with your perceived notion of what "Americans" think. Some do, I'll grant you. However, why you felt the need to remind me, someone who was praising other countries for their health care because ours well and truly sucks, I will never understand. I never even hinted to who actually came up with stem cell treatment, I didn't realize I had to give a complete history lesson on the procedure to mention it in passing.

If you see someone praising America for something they clearly did not do, then you should correct them. Feeling the need to "remind" Americans at "every opportunity" (even when the opportunity is clearly inappropriate) they didn't invent everything in the world, is broad brush bullshit, assuming we all think alike. We don't! Good grief
