    Exactly, things like that have been happening over here too... kids these days are just crazy - or maybe it's the parents who are crazy, for not raising their children properly.

    Oh, come now, do we really have to generalize a few isolated, anecdotal incidents to "Kids today are crazy?"

    /Pet peeve. Sorry.

    Hey, I just tell it like I see it. Perhaps I'm becoming a grumpy adult, but the fact is that mischief used to be just ringing doorbells and then running away, but now the fun thing seems to be smashing windows, wrecking cars, killing animals, and even burglary and robbing people. Yes, some kids in my neighbourhood do things like that - the gangs are getting younger and younger, and that is a trend that worries me. Of course, the vast majority of children is probably well-behaved, but the few that aren't are going from bad to worse.

    See... Thats cause the children's rights activists have stripped parents of all their rights. Nowhadays kids get "You are grounded!" at best. I don't support unusually cruel punishments but the point has to sink in, which ever way it does.

    But... But what about Frasier!
    Oh and Scrubs. Don't forget that!
    Most British TV is crap though, the new sitcoms they're making are terrible, and then you have crap like Wallpaper Challenge and generally anything involving Noel Edmunds
    Haha! :P Yes, I totally agree
    I like the old British sitcoms though. Blackadder, Red Dwarf etc etc :P
    Those shows are classics :D

    Well we are in teh United States of AMERICA. What do you want us to call ourselves? The Unnies? The Staties? Or even the Statesmen? Puh-leeze

    unitedstatians? usa-poeple? whatever...but i think most non-american citizens call us-americans simply americans as well. there are canadians, americans, mexicans and south-americans or latin-americans...or something like that. it may be not correct, but it's faster..

    How about NORTH-Americans or Gringos? ;)

    Insult you? Nah. I've met lots of U.S. Americans, and liked at least half of them, possibly a bit more. I can't insult you're political system, on the grounds that the one I'm in sucks almost as badly. I'm not even touching religion, because I'm fairly sure that's a fire I can't put out and never ends well, anyway.

    Almost all your television, however, is abominable. Three hundred million people, several hundred individual channels, and the number of good shows can be counted on the hand of a blind butcher. It's enough to make you buy a cinema pass. :P

    I think that's all you're getting, I'm a bit out of practice at insulting generalised groups of people for virtually no reason (I'm sorry, I'll get better).

    I'm american, and I can't (I swear, people LIKE these "shows")safely say, that we DO have Craptacular TV.I mean, EVERYONE LOVES SCRIPTED "REALITY" SHOWS, AM I RIGHT??!?

    I... I love you.


    That's a good thing then, because as an American you're probably too fat to leave the current room you're in.

    Ooh burn!!!

    Ever heard of the obese favorite "Sausage wrapped in chocolate chip pancake on a stick"?(Not kidding)

    No, but I've heard of the Peanut Butter & Bacon Pancake...

    You do realize that Scotland has their fare share of deep-fired treats. ;) The deep fried Mars bar originated in Scotland and I think it took off from there.
