That's the difference bewteen the UK and the US. Over here the common people instinctively doubt everything they hear whilst over there you believe everything you hear. Tell a lie that's big enough and people will believe it.

Some old lady on CNN just said "we have to be careful because there are some people out there that don't like America, which I don't understand because America is the best country in the world." And she wonders why some people don't like us.
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

I think you're both lovely, smart and gorgeous ... and where you live doesn't change that.

:hugs: Thanks. :oops: It just gets embarrassing when the simplistic, often moronic flag-wavers are shown as being representative of the whole. :sigh:

Ding dong, the witch is dead.

Good for Obama...he knows what "mission accomplished' means! A big feather in his cap.

Great job by the Navy Seals!!! They should be proud of their work.

As for the moronic flag wavers. They embarrass themselves, I can only feel pity for them. They are hateful idiots, and are deserving of disdain...they are the same people who promulgated the fear of terrorism after 9/11, they supported their president to use it as an excuse to invade Iraq, and now they stupidly claim it's the end of terrorism.
Atheists have always argued that this world is all that we have, and that our duty is to one another to make the very most and best of it. ~Christopher Hitchens~

It's the same everywhere. They always seem to find the most moronic human in town to answer a few questions in the street for the TV news.

People don't want to hear educated, sophisticated opinions on breaking news. They want the flag waving moron to be, well, a moron.
I can live with doubt, and uncertainty, and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. [...] I don’t feel frightened by not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without having any purpose, which is the way it really is, as far as I can tell, possibly. It doesn’t frighten me. - Richard Feynman
