From the US. Communist was tired 40 years ago. I saw it first hand, by the 70's kids were already getting tired of it, by the 80's the next generation just said "sure gramps".

Yea, you still hear it a little today, but nothing like it used to be.

Nice comparisons. Will add that to my explanations.

Thanks!

I've worked with folks from around the world (including Central and South Americans), some can be touchy about it. Had to tell them "sorry, I, as an American, don't define these terms. Blame Europeans, not me".

"US", "America", "Americans" all have specific denotations... per EMEA, and hell, even Canadians.

It's like nicknames - if you have one, you didn't choose it. It was earned or applied by someone else.

Use a different calendar app. I use One Calendar currently.

Also, Calendar Notifications has been a godsend, it allows me to snooze events for predefined or even custom times.

Did you just finish Sophistry 101? Cause that's all we're hearing out of you.

I mean you've climbed up on the cross, and it looks like you're even putting the nails in yourself.

Save some wood for Jesus.

Yea, that's on the asswipe saying that. We get to meet them everywhere.

That description of American Colonists is exactly why there was a rebellion.

The English treated the colonists like second-class citizens, going so far as to try to get Ben Franklin to answer for things like the Tea Party, while he was in England, and a Loyalist.

The simplistic "rebelled over taxation" is just a representation of how the Crown and European Brits viewed and treated the colonists.

Colonists didn't quit Britain, the Briton's quit on the Colonists.

Got any more goalposts you'd like to move?

Half? No.

Closer to 98%.

Europeans are just as jingoistic as anyone else. And just as ignorant.
