The odd thing about your observation, MM, is that not only am I allowed to interact with the outside world, I get paid handsomely to do so. Of course, I am not paid to interact on this forum. I act a bit differently here than I do when I am being paid. Here, I can tell the absolute truth about what I think of the people in our allied nations. When I'm being paid, I can't say that the British people appear to be idiots based on movies that I have seen.

In my personal interactions with British people over the last 20 years, I have found them to be friendly, mannered, intelligent and accepting.

In my interactions with British people on this forum over the last few years, I have found them to be quite ignorant, hostile, rude and unworthy of consideration as part of the human race.

Wierd, huh?

Maybe it's just you guys, and not the normal British people that give the British such a bad reputation in the world.
