Re: Differences between UK and USA culture/living
Now I've envisioning Adam Sandler. 
Only time I've ever heard that expression. I'm gaining quite a vocabulary today ... and to think ... it was just last week that I was on the phone, heard the term "lorries" and was proud to realize that my contact was talking about a truck.

Re: Differences between UK and USA culture/living
Don't worry about me..I'll be fine..I've been living in the states for 3 years..If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere.. I thought the thread was about the difference in cultures and I wanted to warn anybody thinking of coming over here that they need to toughen up first..Be prepared because these Yanks don't pull any punches..
Take no notice whatsoever of the thread title as the subject will no doubt go from the original topic, through to breasts, farting, womens problems, penis size, muslim extremists and back to breats again before the thread has even reached 5 ****ing posts.

But I think that's the point - opening dialogue. I'll have to store away some of those statistics for my next argument with my FIL.

Re: Differences between UK and USA culture/living
Funny you should mention that. I watched part of "Bowling for Columbine" this morning. It really makes you (or me at least) think. I was discussing it with my father who said "the problem with Michael Moore is that he doesn't offer a solution, he just stirs up a bunch of controversy and walks away".

The first step of the cure is to admit you've actually got a problem and define it. The vast majority of the electorate are so far up their own arses they haven't even managed that yet. MM is there to help.
