    Ignorance, huh?

    Long before the United States began accusing other countries of stealing ideas, the U.S. government encouraged intellectual piracy to catch up with England’s technological advances. According to historian Doron Ben-Atar, in his bookTrade Secrets, “the United States emerged as the world’s industrial leader by illicitly appropriating mechanical and scientific innovations from Europe.” Source

    Maybe use facts and sources instead of personal attacks, they tend to hold up better over time.

        Hypocrisy (noun):

        **: **a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not **: **behavior that contradicts what one claims to believe or feel

        America did it first; rebuttal?

        Nuh-uh…

          go work or live in china maybe? I have. Fucking dystopian there. It’s about time the US stops letting them steal everything from US and steal everything from their neighbors. Or take a look at Vietnam, where I’ve also lived, who has like 200% import tax. Or what about china’s massive currency manipulation to undercut everyone. There’s some hypocrisy. Yes US does fucked up shit. But your post is more of the same ol murikuh bad china good bull

      China’s a person? I thought it was a nation, and you said personal attacks. Sounds like you’re a little salty about China being a shitstained leech of a country.
