    Ok… the off-the-cuff number was not the point in the least. The point is that MILLIONS of people happily use those shitty products and they’re not going to just suddenly stop doing so.

    But sure, all that matters here is that you despise americans.

      Umm… I am an American, and never said anything about hating the place. I dislike the American attitude I encounter daily that everything happening here has more importance and everywhere else is irrelevant.
