0/10, not in the slightest bit funny particularly when my post was actually based on fact. You Americans are getting far too sensitive these days.

Yeah, the Standard Flame Post file is getting sorta out of date.
I need to update it someday.
Add some pertinant zingers for trolling,
and something very pithy for America bashers.

That's becuase they're too busy moving partly assembled planes to various countries so everybody can pretend it's team work.
The US is still the only country capable of making a large passenger plane. The europeans can't do it because 1) working isn't acceptable there and 2) it's more important to divide up a simple task into too many small ones just so everybody can feel important.
Watching the assembly of a Boeing plane on vs. anything from airbus is startling.
pick any video from any website for comparison.
Boeing has an "assembly line. Planes get assembled and roll out the door.
Airbus, on the other hand prefers to block roads to move pieces around at night between other plants that at too small. The rest of the time is spend backing the planes up in a warehouse because they're oriented the wrong direction and/or don't fit anyways. The rest of the time involves cranes with lifting tasks for no apparent reason. It's the pinnacle of inefficiency.
