There are few better places to start a business that the US and we still make things, what do you make in the UK? YOUR economy sucks along with your products, work ethic, innovation and ideas and weather, oh yea, your food is shitty too!

Will you EVER get over your America envy?

Where is your world leading Biotech market? I thought you’re all so smart? Superior?
Well? Wake up out of the 18th century, you suck!
not bad for one who has never set foot in the UK or Ireland...to which are you referring btw? you seem as if you do not realise they are two seperate countries.

earlier you said you were 40 years old...are you sure? You use the phrase 'this sucks, that sucks' in almost every sentence. Isnt that a teenage expression? It is very childish.

I wonder if your British employers are aware of your contempt for them. You should be grateful you have a job that doesnt involve sweeping floors like the rest of mexican illegal immigrants in the US.

You say that the UK doesnt lead the world in Biotechnology. The UK is the world leader in genetic engineering. We are innovators in this field and achieved a lot of 'firsts' that are the envy of America. (this is a fact, do not research this to try and prove me wrong, it is futile)

You know what really amazes me though? You sit there running down the UK by siding the the Americans and you are not even American!. Tell me what Mexico leads the world in?...errr..thats a tough one.

Sometimes spelling is important.

However, we all make mistakes. Me more so then others on the schelling angel as I am dyslexic especially if I have not had adequate sleep.

Spelling use to always take my grade down in English class. And costed me in 7th grade science when we had a science teacher who graded on spelling.

Stupidity is in the eye of the elitist.

You have the concept wrong. You have to have the first and last letter of the word right then mix up what is in the middle and people will still be able to read it.

I too am dyslexic. I almost flunked out of Collage because I could not pass the English exit exam. I would pass the course with a B or C then I would fail the exit exam. I did that 3 Times transferred collages, the new professor had a simulated exit exam and discovered the dyslexia. I was then able to pass the exam with the use of a computer.

When I was in grade school they would keep sending me to the remedial English classes. In those classes much of it is oral I would not have a problem there and they would send me back the next semester. My teaches just thought I was lazy. The special education teachers would tell my mother “he is one of the brightest students I have, I could talk to him all day,” and no one ever figured out I had dyslexia till collage.

So as long as we understand each other lets get off the spelling and grammar and concentrate on the content.


Ps I am going to be using your "Stupidity is in the eye of the elitist." it say is all.
