    painting a generalisation about a nation of over 250 million people based on the skewed take on life we see in the media? assuming that all or most Americans are as gullible and of as low an intellect as displayed in stories such as this? saying that this kind of idiocy is "typical" of Americans?

    tch... typical Irish.

    ok so i generalised, it happens.
    if i offened anyone i'm sorry, but as a rule i've encountered alot of dumb ass americans
    so imho i was speaking my version of the truth.

    anyway .... this all comes back to not being able to cope with a situation, and looking for a scape goat.

    It Sickens me tbh

    No !!!!! I will crush you with my Bare hands

    Look at any American soaps/sitcoms/chatshows or entertainment shows, this is the image they themselves are portraying, and are very happy to do so.
    This is their own image of themselves, I for one am not going to argue smile.gif

    Take the opposite.. Japanese media.. we've all seen the absolutely stupid crap they get up to, yet it can be safely assumed (i hope) that it is an extreme minority of shows that are dumping people in ****, catapulting people into the air etc.

    (Disclaimer: I'm talking about media and not racial prejudice, before someone jumps down my throat)
