You don't have decorum. And the rug is not yours. In fact this particular rug, the world wide web*, was invented by a Briton for all to access.

I'm sorry, I'm laughing too hard at something I missed...

YOU don't think WE have decorum?  I'm wondering if you know what that word means.  Here, let me help you, because your behavior speaks otherwise....de·co·rum

1 : literary and dramatic propriety : FITNESS
2 : propriety and good taste in conduct or appearance
3 : ORDERLINESS
4 plural : the conventions of polite behavior

You came to our house and pissed on the rug, not the other way around.

I think....

You just like the shock value of this blog, and you are frighteningly transparent.  You see, actual Brits are lovely all around and wouldn't dare walk into someone else's house with such dreadful manners.  I'm not sure if you are actually British, or if you actually feel this way.  I am certain that it does not matter because what gets your feeble little mind all a flutter is that you are upsetting people.  You are attacking Ariala because you know that she is highly rated here and it will get you attention.  It's not rocket science.  Honestly, you'll have to try harder to be original around here.  As for the meaning to your post, which is really quite meaningless, I'll say this....if you were any type of British gentleman, or gentleman, or man, or anything besides a bored little boy you would write something of substance rather just take the piss out of everyone else.  I think British or American, there are good and bad.  Some truly wonderful people and writers are here and in this country, as well as in the UK.  You, I'm afraid, don't represent that category from what I've seen. So, take your marbles and go home.  Come back when you can stop acting like a child.  It's actually rather sad.

Good Morning

Are you actually being serious, or is this some just some huge joke? It's pretty funny if it's a joke, and incredibly ignorant if you’re being serious. Want to know why? I thought so. You’ve obviously had some bad experiences with Americans, or else you wouldn’t have even bothered to post this. What makes it ignorant is the fact that you’ve assumed that all Americans are exactly like your image of them; you believe that the reality of your experience is the reality of the world. What’s more, you are by definition a discriminator. That’s right, you can say you’re not prejudiced or whatever you want to say, but the simple fact of the matter is you’re a discriminator. Want proof?

dis•crim•i•nate -- To make distinctions on the basis of class or category without regard to individual merit.

Have you given regard to individual merit, or have you just decided that American women are tasteless? Oh that’s right, you’ve decided to use stereotypes. A very respectable choice, wouldn’t you say? I always respect someone who stereotypes, because that’s a clear sign of intelligence. I do hope you could feel the sarcasm dripping of those last sentences.

Oh and one more thing. You cry out that Americans won’t leave you alone. You wish we’d only leave you be and not try to change you into look-alike sound-alike Uncle Sams. In your next post you say it’s time for Britons to rally to the Union Flag, retake your American colonies and re-educate us. How does it feel to be a hypocrite? You’ve lost any respect I might have once had for you by deciding to make public your ignorance and hypocrisy, and I can only hope that your fellow countrymen would agree that your views are terribly skewed. But hey, what do you care if I don’t respect you? I’m just a stupid American.

nothing like my Chrissy... he's rude and filled with disgust of most

people... but..well, are you cute?  A lot can slide if your good looking.  Not that you care if we let you slide or not.  But you are on a site with mostly Americans... so there has to be some reason.  Glutton for punishment?

Take care, dear... all is well , God loves you, and smile...

i'd hardly call Camilla an ideal picture of beauty or what beauty is supposed to be...  she is, in my opinion wretched, with no sense of fashion style what so ever

Well, since we have no proof otherwise,

you must be a little old school marm Brit of that prudish Victorian type... certainly one who screeches "eek, eek" and hikes up her skirts at the sight of a lab rat...he he... and eeeww I bet you think sex is just too yucky for words...but you always drink your tea with pinky extended in a show of "culture." Anyone else have any impressions of the Limey?
