I am all for America, but let us note that the S2000 is made in Japan and this is an S2000 board.

Invented here:
Transistor
Integrated Circuit
VCR
Personal Computer

Japan may build them cheaper, but most big products were invented here.

I assume that this thread is just an attempt at baiting people into an argument....

Why are some of you guys so arrogant? If there was a point to the thread it wouldn't be so bad but what are you trying to acheive?!?!?!

It's an American thing to always remind of others how good and elite they are, I guess ... Tokyo James. If you know what I mean. Just ignore it if you don't like it, sure doesn't get my taste buds going. I really don't give a damn as much.

That's old news, but still very funny...

LAKE ALFRED, Fla. - Michelangelo's David has been dressed.

A replica of the anatomically correct masterpiece, considered one of the world's greatest treasures, prompted a series of complaints to city code enforcement in this small Polk County town.
The owners of the Fountain and Falls shop that put David outside their business bowed to pressure and wrapped a cloth around the Biblical figure's waist.
"I didn't even know it was art," said Jeanne Johnson, the owner of a nearby barber shop who was among those who complained to city hall about the 500-pound, 5-foot concrete statue.
"To me, it's just a naked man standing on the side of the road. Once the girls saw it, I found myself in a position where I had to explain what a penis is."

Hey, it is not all of us Yanks! I love America as much as the next red blooded American but I am not ignorant enough to beleive we are the end all and be all of everything. You have to realize most Americans have never left the country and even seen how anyone else lives. Read: Ignorant.

All in all I think American has it the best, otherwise I wouldn't live here, but other countries have their strong points too.
