Tony -

It doesn't surprise me, but you have once again exhibited evidence of your
refined and very proper British, aristocratic, upper class breeding and
upbringing.

It is a good thing that America didn't apply your "delicate" description of
Americans to the British in World War I and World War II. If we had, you
would probably not be speaking English now and you would not be governed by
a Parliament.

Watch your language, Tony. Such language reflects much more on the user
than on the object of the profanity. Also, there are a lot of very young
students on the list. They know the words, but they don't need to see them
used on this List.

Since you ask, the generalisation is:

"Americans, and anything American, are/is A HEAP OF FUCKING SHIT!"

Didn't you know that?

And surely, we're not going to get into a flame-war about anything so
trivial?-)
