Yeah, that's right... you SHOULDN'T care about 9/11 because we brought it on ourselves with all our stupid cold war bullshit. We also put Saddam in his position of power. We supported Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban when the Soviets invaded... We either directly caused or helped to cause most of our own problems that still exist today, so you shouldn't care about 9/11. But that doesn't change the fact that we don't have any reason to know the symbol for the currency of a country across the ocean. And no, not quite... not Lebanonians... Whether or not that's even a word, I'm not sure, but I doubt it... However, that's not what I meant... Since you're not the one who made the stupid comment, I'm not pissed at you. But I was referring to the Amish and "Pennsylvania Dutch(All amish are PA Dutch, but not all PA Dutch, which basically consists of people with German ancestry, are amish).
By the way, to further prove my point, you know that Russia exists, but do you know their currency or the symbol they use for it? What about China? Afghanistan? Iraq? Saudi Arabia? Ukraine? Nigeria? Lithuania? Somalia? I'm sure you've heard of all of these countries before, but that doesn't mean that you know what kind of money they use. And just because our governments are in bed with each other, that doesn't mean that so are the people. So it makes perfect sense for someone from america to not know the symbol for British Pounds. Just for the record though, I already knew the symbols for both the Euro and the Pound.
