Rants about how "America" should refer to the "continent." Blames America for all the world's ills. Compares America unfavorably to North Korea, Venezuela, and ISIS. Tangent complaining about the "ilegal" British "ocupacion" of "Los Malvinas."

Resentful post noting that in languages that aren't English (including the Spanish of the people who discovered it), America is one continent. Complaint that poster is only posting this in English because of the imperialism of the "English" and "USians" and your unwillingness to learn foreign languages.

Language is irrelevant. You can refer to the two continents of America as a single entity (I just did) but it doesn't magically put them on the same tectonic plate. It's not imperialist to be scientifically accurate.

Claim that plate tectonics is a morally bankrupt atheist science, like evolution and germ theory.

Plates are not continents, and I am actually pissed off that someone as supposedly good at science as yourself would make that claim.

Painfully threadbare attempt to claim I got it wrong on purpose just to troll sellers.

Preemptive claim of abuse, censorship and facism with forced 1984 reference despite the fact that Kylie has not been banned.

Passive-aggressive rant about crediting artists and creators and the people who don't do it.

JamishT was a heck of a guy,
With a devilish twinkle in his eye.
With his hand-picked flowers,
And his feel-good powers,
He made all the girls blush and sigh.
