    C'mon man, that doesn't matter, you know that...who quoted who and when is irrelevant because after all, to use your blanket reasoning, "that's the way things work around here".

    Perhaps, I don't know...you're a very intelligent fellow, that much is clear. I just wish you could be a little less myopic sometimes.

    Holy cow, I wasn't going to say anything for two reasons:
    1. I figure he was just making a point and pretty much knew that China's population was just a bit more than India's 1.2 Billion;
    2. Rather than embarrass him I thought I'd just let it go.

    I think @TorturedBlazerFan replied tactfully.

    And I had a good laugh at the same time.

    I didn't have any problem with TBF's reply, mainly because well, he was right.

    I think we've all meant one thing but typed something different...as I've already pointed out, I knew full well what China's population is and I have no idea why I posted "3.5"...and I certainly did not think it was a big deal and neither did TBF...he simply pointed out my faux pas
    .
    And neither did I know that it would turn into a shit storm that resulted in 2 members being given "time outs"...If I had known beforehand how things would end up I would not have posted at all.

    Cup and bodyman are both solid posters...but unfortunately both are also "opposite sides of the same coin".

    This just in: The United States is officially a 3rd world shit hole country. How is that really expensive health care system you guys all said was the best in the world? But yeah, healthcare for all is bad.
