Brit Bashing. No Photos
My favorite Jewish joke - Three boys were getting ready to go home for their schools Christmas break and were talking about their traditions. The Protestant boy said the all sat around the fireplace and sang Christmas Carioles, the Catholic boy said we do about the same but we sit around he Christmas tree. They then asked the Jewish boy what he did. He said - We all go down to the store and sit around the cash register and sing - What a Friend we have in Jesus. - Dave
Hi GWR 100, I have to agree with you, some of the anti Brit comments are very offensive, however they usually come from a small group of US members headed by "Wabbit". Here in England is usually referred to as a "Stupid Tosser" or similar! He is known as a police hater on here, just ignore him and he will go away!! We also have the odd one here in the West of England, although even he is controlling his thoughtless comments lately.
Finally, please ignore the micro percent of members who fall into the "TOSSER" group, and enjoy using UHH for it's real value.

Please do n ot judge the many by the few.
Having had the privelege to visit Geordieland and Scotland I have a particular fondness for the UK. Warm welcoming people and a fabulous experience.
( Oh love your beer)
There are people that are ignorant in every culture, Pl,ease do not judge America by a few morons, tactless, ignorant fools that have never been out of their states.
SAD that their parents lacked the skills to teach their young simple social skills.
Probably have a family tree lacking branches
I guess I got into some Brit bashing with a couple of Brits who I thought were a bit into themselves. I didn't mean it for all Brits....just those who I felt were particularly obnoxious.

This stuff does NOT belong in the Photo Gallery!!!!!
With NO photos, and not regarding "PHOTOGRAPHY" this really should be in the Chit Chat section, or at least the MAIN discussion area!!!
I am reading this IN THE Chit-chat section....what's the problem?
GWR100, Please don't let the few who can't control their mouths upset you. It is sad that people feel the need to attack other people's beliefs, their countries and their values. But, that happenes everywhere unfortunately. We've enjoyed your photos....don't let some ruin this site for the remainder of us.
Let's not forget those Brits that bashed the U.S. which brought some of it on. GW, are you taking that into consideration?

If you think Brit bashing is bad, wait till we start on the French! (you should recognize the fact that there are many Americans who descended from Irish ancestors who to this day blame the British for the Irish Potato Famine. Your own history is not very kind to the natives, such as forcing opium on the Chinese, the rule Of Britain in India, the continued occupation of northern Ireland Gibraltar and the Falklands! Our problems in the middle east come from England making the map and making nations out of Bedouin nomad tribes. Do not get me wrong there are many things English I love, Monty python, sherlock Holmes, Benny Hill, The greatest rock band of all time THE WHO, Dr Who Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy to name a few.
Most of the Brit bashing is in RESPONSE to Brits telling us what to do about guns. We don't tell you that the abolishment of the Monarchy is at least a century overdue, or the concept of the various classes in England is harmful to a growing thriving economy. Wabbit is not anti British, he just has a dry "British" sense of humor. And how could I forget the greatest English contribution to world literature, Ian Fleming and 007.

But I have just had enough of a few uneducated, infantile people who people from the USA who continually past incorrect and inflammatory remarks about My country and my fellow citizens.
I have been called many names by people who disagree with me, have seen posts that are bigoted, biased, politically correct and non correct. Have read attacks and perceived attacks on Christians, atheists, Muslims, Jews etc. Not to mention jokes on every nationality which exists.
I have read numerous posts vehemently degrading the USA and referring to it's citizens as killers, morons, crazy, etc. etc. by folks from other nations. In fact, ironically, the poster begins the thread, upset by people attacking his nation, by attacking another nation.
The bottom line is this, all these disagreements and arguments take place in
one section of the forum, General Chit Chat. Sooooo.......if this poster is so upset about all the characters in there and what they post, why go there??
Simple solution, don't read or participate in the General Chit Chat. Problem solved!!!! :D
GW...Go to the thread "New Camera" in the photo discussion section, and see the post by JR1, one of your fellow Brits. It might help explain a lot.
GW. Think of this section of the site as a "mosh pit", you don't have to go in, you can always just stand back and enjoy the concert.
