Thank God this "uncivilized" and "ignorant" country bailed you all out from the Nazis and Soviets and put an end to hundreds of years of Europeans slaughtering each other. Trying to cast a whole nation as ignorant and uncivilized, because of cars vs trains of all things, I think reveals a lot more about you than about America.
Our cars have served us pretty well, seeing that the poorest US state is wealthier per capita than almost all Western European countries, including Britain, France, and Germany. Of course, cars are not the main reason for America's success, but they don't seem to have held us back much.
- dang 11y agoPlease don't respond to an inflammatory comment with off-topic rants. That makes the thread worse. Instead, simply flag it. You can flag a comment by clicking on its timestamp to go to its page, then clicking 'flag'. There's a small karma threshold (31) before such links appear.
- alphapapa 11y agoWhy do some accounts with >31 karma not see flag links?
- dang 11y agoThey should. What made you think they don't?
- alphapapa 11y ago...Well...they were not visible for me earlier today...when I clicked on comment timestamps, there was no flag link. But now the link is there...so, I uh...don't know what to say, LOL.
- dang 11y agoThere are a few possible explanations for what you saw. You can't flag direct replies to you, just like you can't downvote them. And flag links disappear after two weeks (I think), which is also the point at which voting is turned off. But in general, if you have 31 or greater karma, you see the same flag links that everyone else does.
