I admit it. I actually LOLed. Not because I disagree, but because of how arrogant it sounded.

Well, in order to not think that FDI benefits a country one must be at a very, very low level of understanding. The sentence is supposed to be the equivalent of "I know physics, I don't think objects fall faster if they have more mass."

It doesn't imply that I know everything there is to know about economics, because I obviously don't.

Which only makes you look more foolish...

Eh, ok. I don't think clearing up a misunderstanding is such a big deal but it seems to give you comfort to attack me a lot, especially on subjects you don't know very well, so...have fun with that, I guess?

Ehh, no, I was making fun of you for sounding arrogant and presumptious. I didn't claim to disagree.
