Living in America, i feel as if i've fallen down the rabbit hole. It's been a real eye opener and has really made me proud to be British. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazdavies79 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 When we have unelected people like Baroness Warsi, as an example of what I mean, talking shit in this country, I feel that we in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. I'd be quite happy to debate people on the issue but I think we'd be hijacking the thread, so I'll leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember finding her really obnoxious 4 years ago but I can't recall why now. Maybe because she's a thick, bigoted clearing in the woods. She can be comedy gold at times.

All countries will have their arseholes (elected or otherwise), their idiots, their own problems etc, but in US politics (just like so many other things over there) they seem to do it on a grander more cartoonish kinda way than the rest of us. And unlike most other countries, what happens in the US has a sizeable effect on the rest of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant help but notice you live in Utah, of all places....no wonder you feel like you've fallen into a rabbit hole! There ARE places in this country with an educated, progressive thinking populace. Head to either coast, quick..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark8691 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Thanks maqroll. Yes, i sure chose one of the worst states to live in (and batshit crazy it is! If im not wrong, they just passed a law in this state to ban all talk of contraception in schools!) I just cant believe some of the things that go on and the things that come under discussion. The politcians are little more than crooks out here for me. How can they serve the public/their country best when they openly take cheques for millions of dollars from banks/companys to see to their agendas! They'd be behind bars in many other countries! Many Americans just seem so ignorant of the world they live in, and whats going on (including their own country). I really admire the few Americans who do want to learn and know the world is bigger than there back yard. But, yes, i certainly picked the wrong state for free thinking..

CrackpotForeigner Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Have met heaps of cool Yanks from the West coast and the North East coast. And you have to admire those who manage to be cool despite being from elsewhere in the States, overcoming almost insurmountable odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
