No, what I've said is that I'm not going to use the country of origin as the primary factor in determining whether the product is going to be best for me.

What I've said is that if I have a choice between an American made and a non-American product and assuming everything else is equal, then of course I'll pick the American-made product.

The biggest factors for me are the quality of the product or service it provides with respect to my needs and the price of said product or service. Or in laymen's terms, I want the best product that does what I need at the lowest price.

If the product isn't the best choice for one's needs, where that product was developed and made is absolutely irrelevant.

Got it?

No point in arguing facts with him, they seem to give him a rash.

Quit trying to cover it up. You said on this very thread, the American product would have to be "equally useful" before you would even consider it. Not like you haven't admitted this before either. Why are you always running away from your position? Either you believe it or you don't. And I don't think you're old enough to know, you sure don't know these subjects.
