So THAT must be Dawn... Heard so much about her over the years. Thanks for posting that, Muffy!

I can finally understand why some people set their alarm clocks unbelievably early each day in observance.

Show us which of the innovations marked "U.S." are really Swedish and German companies. I could use the education.

For the love of God, So Well, LET IT GO!! Rather than education, what you could use is a shred of humility and maturity. Enough, already.

Sheesh!

I second that motion made by Will Succeed..............

it's this kind of crap that chases lurkers and members away from our board; it's counterproductive to the purposes of this board.........

Agreed. Is it time for those of us that are fed up to get our baseball bats and start knocking some heads? That may be what's necessary to get this to stop.

This is CPAPTALK -- get it??? Talking about sleep apnea, cpap and the like?? It's NOT to argue over who invented what or what country's healthcare is better than the other. Discuss those things? Sure, but if you can't do that in a civilized manner, then do all of us a favor and just don't do it at all.

I question your motives for claiming this simple post is offensive:

Show us which of the innovations marked "U.S." are really Swedish and German companies. I could use the education.

Are you embarrassed that your political position is falling in the face of the facts, so you start calling for a brand of humility and maturity of your own definition? I see quite an ad hominem attack earlier in the thread as your only contribution so far. That did not exhibit any humility and maturity on your part.

If you want to worry about humility and maturity, check your own first.

I hope Willie is not dissuaded to give us the examples illustrating his claim.

I don't think it is necessary to tell you there is more than one way for you to ignore my posts. If you did ignore them, it would finally show some humility and maturity on your part.

You know -- it's stuff like this that explains to me why the world is in the shape its in. Despite the fact that many have asked nicely for this to stop and some have even gotten angry and asked it to stop, a few just insist on keeping it going simply because they can.

I need one of those gadgets that I can press a button on my keyboard and a big old club will come out and smack the crap out of anyone that desperately needs it!!

But them I'm sure some would find a way to argue about who invented it.

Interesting that you are so proud of your violent tendencies.

You want this thread to go away, but you can't resist bumping it to the top of the threads list again and again.

I am through with the thread until Willie responds with those examples or until someone else posts something that I want to reply to.

Now can you resist what must be an overwhelming urge to bump this thread to the top of the list again??

I could resist, but won't simply because this does require a response -- after which I will put you on ignore. And I'm betting that more people are irritated with you than are with me.

Edited to remove most of my comments since they weren't nice and frankly -- this just isn't worth the effort it takes.

I know you are still peeking Ms. Madalot.

I find it a little curious that you and Won'tSucceed do not want me to ask a simple question of Arizona-Willie:

OK, Willie, below is a list from another contentious thread on modern medicine. Show us which of the innovations marked "U.S." are really Swedish and German companies. I could use the education.

For my part I will check back to see if Arizona-Willie (who made the claim that Bob3000 was mistakenly identifying the success of Swedish and German companies as U.S. companies) answers the question. Of course Willie is not obligated to answer.

If my simple little question is so offensive, I assume no one will bump this thread to the top again.

Sleep well Ms. Madalot.

Man. I go away for several days and the energizer bunny is still doing uhh ... "so well".

Oh well.

Folks, do the "Friends and Foes" options work for this forum? If you are taking an issue with someone posting, go into your control panel and set him or her up as a "foe".

I've done this on other fora and it works. It really works.

Of course, I'm assuming that it's active here because, if not, I'm sure that the Goodmans would have made it so it doesn't even show up as an option.

I guess the followup to my post here is, "Why are we here? To beat the $4!7 out of each other or to learn and get better sleep? I'm not even going to select the notification option for this thread.

You are so correct and that's exactly what I have done. I think from now on, I'll not let my curiosity get me and just stay out of these OT threads that have obviously taken on a tone like this one. It doesn't do anybody any good and really takes away from the greatness (and purpose) of this forum.

To the good people here -- apologies for my part. I'm going to stick to the threads that have some purpose in this forum.

Geesh you really aren't very good at this game are you?

According to your own chart 7 out of 10 are identified as originating in another country other than America or as co-originators because the company has dual nationalities as I said in my post. An eighth ( 8 ) items origin is unknown so really doesn't even belong in the debate and shouldn't be counted because it's origin is not specified.

So 7 out of 9 items are identified as originating in another country or co-owned because the company has dual nationality.

That doesn't really support your position very well now does it?

If you wish to attempt to post items in support of your position you SHOULD AT LEAST READ IT BEFORE POSTING.

Just because they have offices here doesn't make them American owned.

The French have done their share of good work in medical advances also.

You might be surprised at how many of the advances you think of as " American " actually originated in other countries.

OK, Willie, below is a list from another contentious thread on modern medicine. Show us which of the innovations marked "U.S." are really Swedish and German companies. I could use the education.







To another poster, Ms. Arrogant Madalot, you are welcome to stay out of the thread. Or are you compelled to come here so you are sure to stay "mad a lot"? Don't give me that junk that you want to stop the debate and name calling because you are protecting the "poor innocent lurkers who may get hurt". Well bless your heart.

You don't even have to go into the control panel.

Just click on the username of the person you wish to foe.

Foe example. Click on Dreamstalker then click "add foe".

Oh crap! I just foed myself and now I can't see my own posts.

Thanks for this information. Made it quicker to add the next "person" that seems intent on being downright nasty for no good reason.
