Fortunately, I know better than to do so.

I know of a few who Brits who have left this website due to  much of what I feel, I am very near to tht myself, but I am one who perhaps foolishly hangs on, hopefully to at least make people have cause to think.

Admittedly I find this forum, perhaps even this website brings out the worst in me,to that I apologise, but I have to ask,why is that so.Is it because of those whom I mostly try to communicate are foreign to my way of thought ?

If people are saying they are leaving because of this, then I call BS.

Now undoubtedly there are those that are doing other things, perhaps too busy to come here, but then others are busy, but they manage, so what is happening, is it there is something in the air, or is it this place is changing, and not for the better.

When one considers that America is one of the only un-invaded countries(the Aleutians don`t count)in the world,one has to wonder why there is so much paranoia and so many militia groups,conspiracy groups and politicians who pander to them.

It`s almost as if boredom produces the fear.

Look at how many European countries have been invaded,raped to death and butchered and how many times?

There`s nothing quite like the bed-wetters we have here in the home of the brave.

This

I'd also have to conclude that many Brits have some serious issues with inadequacy, when it comes to their own, domestic politics.

So why is it the way it is , for it does come across as very scared, or is that only what we see of your politicians on the run up to the mid term elections, they pander to the insecurity in people to achieve what they need ?

I reckon Anes point was not judging americans from the few, but from the many. I don't take pah to be the typical american any more than I'd like you guys taking An as the typical Brit. It's not that he's taking some few nuts and extrapolating, it's that he can see the way every american here, without any exceptions I've noticed....discusses politics.

Though I wouldn't particularly agree with his conclusion...he's not basing it on a minority, he's basing it on all of you.


And since ya bring it up, the stereotype of Brits having unhealthier teeth isn't any more backed by the facts than us having a higher crime rate because we don't have handguns, or more unemployed because of socialist policies.....

All that paranoia and fear was here prior to 9/11.

Funny,the same bed-wetters who are now terrorism "experts", didn`t know who bin-laden was before 9/11.

These are the same bed-wetters who were chanting"No War For Monica,No War For Monica"on the Capital steps when Bill Clinton was sending cruise missiles deep into Afghanistan to kill bin-laden.



As well,the same bed wetters are behind the recent spike in Islamophobia-for-votes strategy.

Not only was the U.S. invaded and attacked before--it was by the British (War of 1812--including burning the White House, a target the 9/11 attackers failed to hit).

All`s forgiven.....
