I most certainly am.
You most certainly are.
I'm sure the same thing goes on in your country, but you're too busy pointing fingers at the US to look in your own backyard.
No, it doesn't. That is why I made the observation I did.
It doesn't? Don't make me move over there.
Oh well, Blair is just a Bush lap dog, so suck it.
You see? You don't even know the name of our Prime Minister.
Fuck... Well, Bush will make a puppet of Brown sooner or later (hope not.)
I would truly love to get more worldwide news from you guys, therein lies my frustrations with Euro polito-trolls, a lot of you are worse than Fox.
I'm sorry - you've lost me.
France and the UK had changes of heads of state, barely a word was said here about it. Dumbshits like me don't even know the names of the new heads of state (I forgot that transpired), I'd LOVE to read about what's going on in other countries. I hear about the US constantly and it's ALL bad news. Even our independence day is completely shit upon.
I agree though, you know Bush is in trouble again when Fox talks about Clinton's blow jobs. Clinton blew his wad, Bush blows up people. Do you think anyone would even believe it if a Bush sex scandal came up?
I don't think you understood the thrust of my post.
The point I was making was regarding the cult of personality regarding your talk show hosts/radio announcers/news anchormen and journalists.
Over her people don't tend to debate what Jeremy Paxman or Jon Snow said about a certain political topic - the focus tends to be more on the politicians themselves than the TV pundits.
In your country the opposite appears to be the case - from here anyway.
You've never heard of Jono Coleman or John Humphreys but I know who Rush Limbaugh and Cenk Uygur are.
At this point I don't think I'd trust myself to tie my own shoes.
Well shit, the world just got a little weirder for me. How civil of your countrymen to be so respectful, I feel like someone just told me my fly was open. Americans really do stand out as being notoriously fucked in the head. I assumed it was par for the course here so it must happen everywhere, people are people.
A cool aspect of this site is the international crowd, I like hearing what's going on around the globe, all the US talk gets to be boring, a lot of it resounds with me as echoes of Fox News, extreme views, rants, panics, fear, hate...
More and more I get the impression that the US has more of an influence around the world than I would care to admit, I've actually been trying to be of the mind that there's MORE going on around the globe than what I read and see about my own country. I know the US influence is huge, but not to the point of being the ONLY country worth talking about.
Wow, Hong Kong is now under Chinese rule??? They made a canal all the f-ing way through Panama?? The earth is round?? When did all this happen??
I'm going to go sit in the corner for a while.
