Steve, This sort of ignorant commentary comes up in discussion with otherwise reasonable folks so often that it really isn't funny anymore. -Chuck Harris Steve Rooke wrote: > Wow!

Chuck, Well, I've heard the same sort of stereotypical comments about the Brits so many times I am fed up with them too. Besides which of those comments can you say does not have an air of truth about them for someone coming from England, or may other places in the World for that matter. You've turned a simple friendly poke at the US system into an all out attack on every US citizen. I read an article the other day about the British "hacker" who "broke into" the military systems over there looking for UFO data. The comments were that he should be given 70 years inside, executed, and a whole lot of stuff about how this guy was such a terrible criminal. No one talked about how the US military had connected a system with secret classified data onto the Net with no admin password. But apparently all the blame was on him. If you leave your car with the door open and the keys in the ignition wouldn't you expect to have it pinched. And whats this stuff about the land of the free, you guys have more legislation on yourselves and on other countries people than many other countries. I sat and watched all the discussion about shooting guns at New Year and the chances of people getting killed. They get killed anyway because it is so easy to get guns over there. Everybody gets the chance to be a crim. Our police don't carry guns routinely and we don't have a gun problem. Sure some idiots get hold of them, and some innocent people get hurt or killed, but it's a major event in this country when that happens, not just the way of life it is for you guys. So please don't come back at me all innocent like and hurt.

In all of this Anglo American battering there is one thing we can agree on. Jason Bourne can kick James Bond's butt (or arse).
