And when they perform raids, they should be required to shout “This is a F.A.C.T. jack”! Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

    I got your point. You pretended to be dumb to make it, good job. And now you’re pretending to be a victim because I pointed out that using Google wrong is not op’s fault. Me explaining how to Google is not “belittling”. Didn’t call you any names or anything.

    Back on point: I actually agree with the base idea that many people from the US talk as if they’re the center of the universe and everyone should know what they’re talking about, but c’mon… Let’s not pretend that we’re not watching films and series made there and we don’t know what ATF and DEA are. Make these points when they’re valid, not every time an American speaks.

      I personally had no idea what they meant when I entered this thread, it’s not pretending, there’s a lot of projection going on here

        I had heard of the DEA, but not the ATF, to be honest. The problem is that three letter acronyms are hardly unique unless context such as domestic to the US is being provided.

      I am not hating on Americans here. You did say I could not Google though, which is just plain wrong.
