My apologies Pete. When I said 'you', I meant it in the general sense. I've always known you to take the high road and have always
held you in high regard.
Lusitania was the trigger and before long USA had drafted 4 million men and was sending over 10,000/day to Europe to help out. But that's
neither here nor there. Apparently history means more to some than others.
Let's just set the record straight. I say to
myself on a regular basis how I think that 95% of the entire population is a bunch of idiots. And what I really mean 95% of the population of the
entire planet! Maybe it's higher than that! I mean, doesn't anyone THINK logically anymore?! So I am an equal opportunity slagger.

Steve, I've never slagged the Americans on here or anywhere else. America's WW1 involvement was due to the Lusitania as far as I've
read. Woodrow Wilson sent reinforcements in April 1917 when France and Britain had been at war with Germany for 3 years. WWII was another story if you
want to put it in perspective Wikipedia
You are not calling me out on anything so why should I be upset, I only come on here for fun as well. I only asked about the Amish thing because it
seems a common Amish name from reading on the web. If you want to take the p!ss just google Jade Goody quotes, we all have our share of them

Having lived in the US 1/4 of my life I think I can say that the US and UK idiot/smart ratios are very similar......I.E. scarily high.
Living here you get to realise that some of the sterotypes of US life aren't quite accurate.....many are, of course......and vice versa many US
sterotypes of UK life are wrong too.
I've met and know Steve personally and he's a pretty sharp guy (for a yank..ooops sorry Steve)...seriously he really is a great guy.
My biggest gripes here?....the sport in general is shite...misuse of the word aniversary....and lack of pot noodles...

its like normal noodles only the welsh dig it out of mines!
Every culture has a steriotype of other countries, for instance Americans around Hollywood seem to think that all Brits speak with a naff cockney
accent!
I can honestly say that personally i would rather that England was a State within the USA that part of the EU, plus we would have a great supply of
cheap V8s!
Cheers.

There are instant noodle type meals over here...Ramen noodles for instance, but they are utter tasteless crap compared with pot noodles....someone
importing pot noodles over here would make a killing...

As bizzare as that suggestion seems I actually agree...if the UK wants to become part of some bigger community why not join up with fellow english
(sort of) speakers, who have some cool s h i t and are hardly foreigners at all....
In the time I've been away I hear about wine and euros........it worries me, it really does.....

You English need to spend more time in Italy, you really do... Don't like learning languages? Well, that's what they have to do
isn't it? It's not so bad, trust me.
And coming from what many Americans refer to as the 51st state, I can tell you, you are better off with other Europeans. At least in the EU,
you've got other countries to back you up in trade disputes. Americans are great; I just don't want to be one.

Me too. Came east because of the cost of housing in the lower mainland. Now it's worse. Saving like a madman, except for this little project of
course.

Literally, over a period of time...
(disgusting stuff)
BTW: I'm in the camp that says that every population has a fixed proportion of idiots. The US just has a bigger population, and the idiots are
more visible*.
There are places in the UK where you can find idiots en masse - but I'm not going to say where on this forum! I'm not starting a
county dispute - a country dispute is bad enough...
* "more visible" as in there's a load of TV companies who like to go out and find the pillocks, and display them to the world.
And who mentioned Jade Goody? Go and wash your mouth out with soap and water!

I used to live close to a place called South Molton (too close for comfort) down in sunny Devon, very scary people there, stay away, you have been
warned.
Think webbed toes, lazy eyes, that sort of thing.

in my own experiences i have found americans to be lovely people all the ones i have met and talked too. That said only 8% of americans have a
passport so i wonder what the average american is like?
however i am not a fan of america the country, but then i ain't a fan of the uk either.
the video was really funny and unbelieveable that said i was talking to my girlfriend about it and she has some surprising shortcomings with geography
and she is really intelligent so i guess it depends on the questions being asked!

We've got plenty thickies too.
I met some English lads in Spain a few years ago who couldn't believe that I'd driven there.
They had absolutely no idea whereabouts on the planet they were.
