I don't exactly know what you think you're accomplishing with this thread, but wouldn't it be best if it was just locked?
I agree, maybe it should be locked, I'm actually worried that maybe someone has taken over his account or something. Probably not thou.

Close thread, you lose.
There is absolutely no way whatsoever that you have any grasp or understanding of Britain. That comment is the epitomy of "self pwned".
Epic fail on display right there.
No one explain it, no one even discuss it. Anyone with a brain knows what's wrong here and it doesn't need going over.

I was hoping to find out if Jimbo was a 15 yr old from France but I guess we won't find out, and there was nothing else worth the time in this
thread.
....oh just for the record, even though a waste of time. I love the Brits and of course am an American. The greatest friends our Country has and who
has contributed most to our legal system and way of life.
Cheers

Why do you refuse to tell us all where you are from? Normally people like you don't bother me at all because I know your comments are stupid and
ignorant, but I am very interested in where you come from.
Will you not tell us because you have realised how idiotic your comments have been and you don't want people like yourself to base their entire
opinion of your nationality on yourself?

All over ATS I can generally find some redeeming quality in any members submission. Maybe not enough to applaud it, but some small amount of
interesting or thought provoking ideas...
Except here.
I see no intellectual or interesting reason for this drivel of a thread and seriously hope it gets closed as the only purpose it could possibly serve
is to incite controversy with (0) subject matter...
Semper

Amen to that.
Were not going to get anything other than hateful ramblings from the OP so it is best if this is locked and left to sink.

For your own sake, can you just tell us where you live and exactly why you think we are thick other than some vague generalisations?
Yes and No.
Why can you not take simple critisim? Or is that too problematic.
Be a man my friend. Admit that England is not perfect - perhaps in fact, far from that.
Spread your wings and fly - it's a big, big world out there
To all you other apologisers,
*SNIP*
Grow up and travel! That's my advice.

There you go again, assuming people don't travel, thinking there is nothing wrong with calling hundreds of thousands of people dumb as if you are
all knowing. What are you? GOD???

Yeah - they ARE dumb too!
Dumb for staying there.
Dumb because of the inneptitude staying there has foisted upon them, and dumb because of the lives they have wasted by being a part of the general
apathy that is England...

Enuf!
This thread has become more about personal sniping and personal attacks than any real discussion of the issue at hand.
please stay on topic and debate the topic not the poster. If this trend continues the thread will be closed to allow people to cool of and after staff
evaluation may be reopened again.
So please do me, do yourself, and do us all a favor, stick to the topic at hand and if you feel the need to personalize this issue or resort to
personal attacks then please take a break from it and peruse the myriat of other topics here at ATS.
Thanks
FredT, Moderator

Yeah - wouldn't we just love that  Ok, fine - I KNOW reality is a tough cooke for you Brits - BUT - it does not change one iota the basic premise
of this thread. Of corse I KNEW there would be a back-lash fron Brits (hmmm...shock-horror) - but hell, it does not change the focus of the debate one
bit.
What happened to English education, intellectulism, or consceptualisation exactly? (ie - the abilty of english men to consceptualise - or 'problem
solve'?)
Adios amigos.

Any well thought out argument deserves to be heard; however, providing a conclusion without the supporting evidence in an attempt to convince runs
counter to both educated debate and, as ATS holds so dear, denying ignorance.
Your conclusion is: Brits are dumb. Your proof: Three YouTube videos. I'd be suprised if using the same level of proof you couldn't do the same with
any large country. How can you expect anyone to accept your arguement based on three unexception videos from YouTube? Would you accept the same
argument if someone did likewise with your country?
You're convinced because you've visited the country, yet you're unwilling, so far, to say what you experienced and where? This should be your
proof. Instead, you argue, insult and refuse to help anyone understand your argument.
Finally, I'm unsure what you're wishing to say. Currently, you sound no better than early missionaries calling those they encounter uncivilised or
savages. Dumb how? Politically, economically, academically, artistically or all of these. Has it been a decline since, as you seem to imply, Victorian
times?
Without these explainations, this thread will likely be closed.

Wow pretty harsh towards your own family?
You still never told us where you stayed in the UK, we will be able to understand more of why your saying this, because I'm willing to bet that you
didn't go much places, and the place you stayed you had bad experiences with local people.
