    You say you love Dollars. And you also like Trump.

    Then turn and bite on me who has written a number of posts here defending America in certain kinds of discussions as a Warrior would. I share the same likes as you do with the exception of France on your part. Why didnt you just say that you don't like France and leave it at that? My Grandparent left his burns on Little Falcon against the Crown Prince HQ for the entire European Sector in two days time with the 79th in WW1.

    I'll go ahead and place you on the ignore list. My interest in France and all other Nations is specifically Historical and how they made it possible for you and I to be come an American. It's a free country, but you sure display a certain conflict within yourself when you take additional pains to try and put tired worn out insults on me for teaching lessons on history. Pearls among Swine for all the value it turned out to have for you. What a shame.

    I say this the word Dollar comes from what we would call Eastern Germany back in the 1500's where it's possible to carry a day's wages, a Dolar. Now I have to go back and look for a updated explanation of the origin of the Dollar itself.

    Our Founders have worked really hard and diligently to build a Nation that the world has never seen before in a great experiment. We have done more in 200 years dare I say, than some lands have managed in a thousand plus. We cannot be around forever. However we are a very strong people, a very DIVIDED people as per your post on me... and one that is vulnerable to very simple disruption, disunity, and a variety of other "Dis'es" created by Nations hostile to our system of Governance, our Freedoms and how Dare we try to run the world by the bomb for those who do not toe the line.

    If we do not repent as a Country and go home here to take care of our own, the World must surely say "Enough" and hit us really hard. When that day comes we will look for help and there will be none to be found in that last day of our great losses. There will be no savior coming from the Hills. And even Love would be lost.

    It is my hope that we wont be around too much longer to endure that kind of problem. But if it does happen? We will continue on, trying to help others where possible. Remember when people choose to use insults rather than corrections as many have done here on TTR with me it is non productive and easily marks that dark one for the ignore list.

    Not everyone I put on there stay there. There has been a small number I bring back out after a time and we understand one another better.

    The French did start something that was used around the world. Wrapping babies in white swaddling sheets. You know why French babies were wrapped in a white sheet when they were born? So that they are prepared to surrender from birth.

    French fries, Belgium

    Cinematography, kinda. Thomas Edison had the thing called a Kinetoscope, which was a small viewer meant for 1 person, the French took that idea and made it so it could be viewed by an audience.

    Playing cards...try China...the games may have developed elsewhere but: Who invented playing cards and what is the origin of 'Hearts', 'Diamonds', 'Clubs' and 'Spades'? | Notes and Queries | guardian.co.uk

    Gambling...sorry, China again, along with the Greek and Roman. It can be traced all the way back to 2300 b.c.

    I should think any debt we owed to the French from the Revolutionary War was probably made up for when we saved them from the Germans. Twice.

    Why didn’t the Metric people invent a new way to measure time yet?
    They must hate the hours and minutes, months and days and even years.
    Where’s the kilominute at?

    Plenty of countries have tried to not use dollars, so then the USA invades them or places sanctions against them. Iraq, Libya, Iran, Syria,

    The French or any other Euro nation did nothing to help form the United States of America. That was done by immigrants living here who were fed up with being ruled by a hierarchy. Are some people smoking funny ####???
