All I was saying is that even though the US uses Fahrenheit, it still did many great things. F didn't hold us back. That's it! I meant no denigration of other countries; I was simply defending my own. Hmmm, I think I read that somewhere before? No problem. I miss things, too. I often joke, "You only need to say it twice"!

Then stop dropping my name into your diatribes. If you hadn't thrown my 
name in and attributing me to saying things I didn't, I wouldn't have 
commented.

>>> Again, I "bragged" about the US only because people here were bashing it. I don't recall ever initiating any hostility or bragging here. But I did respond to hostility against me by others!

Did I bash you back except to say that nobody gives a flying petunia about your lbs vs lbf nonsense? Nobody cares, and like I said before, I am not going to argue and explain all the subtleties that we all here already know about mass and weight.

Are you having an argument with yourself now? You are making a comment 
on what you wrote...

And I'm sure a lot of people cares about the difference between mass 
(lbs) and force (lbf), even if you don't grasp the concept.
