- askafriend 3y ago> Very funny. America is nowhere near "the oldest nation on earth". So you're agreeing that it is indeed the greatest nation on earth?
- tssva 3y agoIt was sarcasm. One clue that a non-American might not get is that Benjamin Franklin was never president.
- smcin 3y agoI know that, you noticed the first two words were "Very funny"? The rest of it was directed at other people who genuinely believe the claim.
- splendor_spoon 3y agoThe rest of it seems to have missed that the original comment was sarcasm.
- smcin 3y agoNo, to repeat, the rest of it was addressed at the non-empty subset of readers who genuinely believe the claim. I love you telling me repeatedly what you assume my intent was, especially when the assumption was wrong. You could try it a third time.
