Well Mr. "more intelligent than them" you made the asinine claim that "American law requires companies to maximize profits," got humiliated when you were rightfully ridiculed for making such a stupid assertion and started sputtering and spurting in rage
Suuuure you did [ATTACH=CONFIG]43945[/ATTACH]
Far, far more likely is that you didn't understand him correctly. I doubt there was anyone who was that ignorant. Well, aside from yourself that is.
Funny that you didn't link to this claim that "many Americans" think that "American law requires companies to maximize profits."
In fact I don't think I've ever heard anyone say anything like that and I've heard many people say a lot of stupid things about how they think businesses are run. Generally, it's stuff that reveals that they don't understand that businesses are in the business of making a profit and not performing this or that "civic duty." But absolutely nobody said they thought that "American law requires companies to maximize profits."
Suuuure they did
You are what you are.
Maybe you should put your bruised ego aside and put your big boy pants on for a change and just own up to what everyone already can plainly see -- that you are woefully ignorant about America. Continuing to pretend otherwise while spouting such utter nonsense makes it impossible for anyone to take you seriously.
I mean if I claimed that New Zealand law requires everyone to own a sheep you would be well within in your rights to laugh and call me grossly ignorant. And if I got overly defensive and started arrogantly declaring how much smarter I am than you, then I would only be going from bad to worse.
So do yourself a favor and grow up and admit that you don't know all that much about America.
Indeed, but absolutely nobody is laughing with you.
Well, you did say that aside from getting your information from Hollyweird depictions, you also know people who live here and have visited here.
I'd say that a whole lot of people know someone who lives in another country or visited there. But very few of them are so full of themselves that they think that makes them some kind of expert about it.
I've been in 19 countries (not including the U.S.) and in some of them several times (Canada, Bahamas, Jamaica and all of Central America). And in most of them I have friends living there and know other people who have visited them, but I'm not such a fool to arrogantly pretend that I'm some sort of expert on them as a result. But for whatever reason you feel a need to act like you do. And that folly results in your making declarations like "American law requires companies to maximize profits."
Grow up star.
