Sometimes it's your sad delusions which simultaneously gall and amuse us,
but mostly it's because people who think they know everything irritate those

Who on earth said we dislike American culture?
We love American culture.
You are mistaking personal animosity, because you're a wanker, for generic
hatred.

"American culture" is an oxymoron.
We don't hate America - we just recognise her for what she is - a big, fat,
rich, immature bully.
When America grows up she will understand (we hope).
The Superman mantra of "Truth, Justice and the American Way" is as ephemeral
as it is nonsensical (as a little kid I wondered why the great "American
Way" would need an alien to defend it ...)

Yes, but you'll have to cut us just a bit of slack as we happen to
come by those traits honestly. We learned them from our British
forebears, back when they were the world's premiere big, fat, rich,
(the immature is arguable) bully.

It's also redundant or oxymoronic or one of those other big words I

Okay, so the British Londoner television chef Jamie Oliver is on
American television, and certain local London slangs are explained to
the American audience beforehand, as would be expected. Afterwards,
however, basic words such as "texture" and "extraordinary" are
explained to the adult audience as if they are school children. I
could not imagine this as necessary anywhere is Western Europe or any
other English speaking nation. The United States is a country
fragmented into little pockets of ignorance, and this is why that type
of communication is necessary. This is my own main criticism of United
States culture.
I personally have never resented nations with more military strength.
British short and ugly? I wouldn't know where to begin with this one.
Bullies? The main thing which keeps Britain free is that the British
cannot ever be bothered oppressing one another. That's why there has
never been a single lasting political revolution on this island since
history began. Totalitarian? You're going to have to be more specific
but just about everyone who has made such claims had never an idea
what they were discussing and ran along the lines or "YOUR COMMIE
QUEEN DOESNT LET YOU SUE HOSPITALS BECAUSE THE BBC FORBIDS IT" and so
on.

Why is it that the Europeans think the only "fair" way to fight is to stand up
and shoot at each other? Massive volleys of firepower...
Granted, it is a grand sight to see for the onlookers, but seems rather
dangerous from the participant level....
Nope. I'll shoot from the trees. Thank you very much. Each shot intended for
the recipient. Much more personal, in my opinion. :-)

(OK, I'll bite <grin>) You're "stronger" in regard to overall fire-power,
but way weaker on 'intel' and skills (hence the constant "friendly-fire"

I don't think there is much of a gap re 'living conditions' these days, but
your much vaunted 'freedom' is largely illusary.
You are perfectly free to do and think exactly what your government allows.
Not that the UK is all that much better but it *is* better.

Well I for one don't hate all Mercan culture - only some of it. I like
Star-Trek for instance and the Simpsons but hate Hamburgers and
McDonalds. It is probably the arrogance of the US assuming they are the

Seems reasonable.
The first vibrator was steam-powered.
It was used by doctors in the treatment of 'hysteria' in women.
The method was to induce a 'mental apoplexism' following which the patient
apparently felt much better - for a while.

Sorry - make that 'hysterical paroxysm'.
I just checked.
This was viewed as being a crisis of the disease 'hysteria' which roughly
translated means 'womb disease'.

In North Korea, you are free to criticise the PotUS anywhere without

USA. Whetehr this means Korea has a better thing going or not, I leave

They came as a great relief to the doctors of the day.
In the mid-nineteenth century there was a positive epidemic of 'hysteria'
amongst middle and upper class women with almost 70% of women
Among the symptoms were 'irritability' 'persistent erotic fantasy' and
'excessive vaginal lubrication'.
Prior to the invention of machines such as the above the treatment had to be
administered er... by hand, as it were.
Some doctors complained that it could take 'up to an hour' to produce the
desired 'crisis of fever' which thus enabled the unfortunate victim some
respite from her symptoms.
Unfortunately 'hysteria' was diagnosed as chronic and incurable and patients
would be forced to return often for further treatment sessions.
[I'm not making this up]
The advent of the steam-powered mechanised treatment beds proved a boon to
the doctors as they could now treat a patient every 10 minutes or so and
therefore greatly increase their turnover and revenues. The machines were
not available to the general public.
Some went so far as to have multiple treatment rooms with a row of up to
five patients being treated, conveyor belt style, in a small hospital ward.
(I still struggle with that fearsome image)
It being the case that middle and upper class Victorian era women were not
deemed to be sexual beings by the arch-patriarchal society - the idea that
the treatment was in any way sexual apparently didn't occur to the (male
middle and upper class ) doctors.
(Well so all the sources say)
It wasn't until the early 20th century when the first portable electrically
powered versions (still enormous and resembling meat grinders by the way)
went on public sale and began to feature in the first pornographic films
that the penny seems to have dropped.
The electric vibrator was only the fifth household, er... tool, to be
electrified - it came after the toaster but before the vacuum-cleaner. Those
Victorian gals certainly had their priorities sorted. They were advertised
in needlecraft magazines primarily.
Between 1910 and 1920 the medical profession quietly dropped the treatment
from their repertoire, though diagnosis under the rubric of 'hysteria' was
not outlawed in Scotland until 1952.
So now you know.

Ah! I was meaning to ask about that - I take it that law was indeed passed
then?
I heard about it's progress a few years ago but it was being challenged by
various groups at the time.
I thought it rather ironic that the people pressing for them to be made
illegal called themselves ' The People's Council For Civil Liberties' or
something like that.
IIRC several other states were also going the same way?

Last I heard it had passed. I don't know anything about the results of
any legal challenges. My limited understanding of Alabama
jurisprudence is that one way they forestall challenges to acts of the
legislature being found to violate the state constitution is to
enshrine practically everything in an amendment to the state
constitution. When I heard the news report covering this, several
years ago, their constitution had well over 700 amendments. Not
shabby when you consider that they had started over from scratch a
time or two since the WNA ended.

I love a lot of American culture. I like a lot more.
Some of my best friiends are American.
Last week I had a fantastic time watching the TV series '24'.
The question in this thread title is misguided.
Some British people don't like some aspects of American culture. That
probably has more to do with their own attitide to life (and indeed to the
way they experience the world) than with America itself.
In other words, those people are miserable, complaining communist
bastards.
Thank you ladies and gentlemen for your attention.

Nonsense. I am certain the US government doesn't care a fig if you shoot
a Scottish man with a bow and arrow found within sight of the city walls
of York after dark.
In fact, I'm sure it's encouraged by certain political sects.

Brits are free to go to Cuba if they want. You don't have the freedom to
live elsewhere without paying US income tax.
BTW, the living conditions and level of prosperity you have described in
your own personal circumstances would aggravate me indeed, if I thought that
any of my relatives would be reduced to it. I am afraid that last remark is
going to come off differently than I intend it. I do have sympathy for your
situation, and it's not a standard I would aspire to for my loved ones.

Even better we have a system the produces lots of home intruders and
companies that make and sell lots of guns so we can shoot them. It's a
perfect system!

Er, just WHO drinks the fw? G^6 grampa, MIchael or you?
BTW: I have a "recipe" for frontier firewater - no WONDER the injuns
was hostile - if I drank that stuff, I'd be looking to kill anyone I
