Yes, but this is an British EX Pat WEB site. We have some fun, we have a few laughs. We don't take this as the meaning of life. I am talking about the American pop or best part of 300 million people, who have been brainwashed. Example: An awful lot of them ,still think American cars are the best in the World. Nuff said.

You really do need to get out more.

You should take a look at what people are driving nowadays.

And I have never heard anyone in the UK wonder if they have electricity or Christmas in the USA...both things that I have been asked here
So does that mean all americans are dumb ? because someone asked you a pretty stupid question.

Anyway our expat world is nice. You don't have to live in it.
Contrary opinions not tolerated here? We all have to pass an Anti American test to post?

It seems that you don't like opinions other than your own.
Do we have to be anti- british to post here?
