I just knew someone would post that, and I had a suspicion it would be you.

A bit late with this comment, back to the old "American blood spilt for you" argument, however this American Blood was hugely profitable to the US, I forget the sources but I remember reading (last time this came up in a forum) that the US banking system profited billions from the 2 world wars (and this was in about 1950.. billions then). I can't think of a war that the US entered purely for altruistic reasons, because it was the right thing to do, every drop of US blood had a price tag and a bottom line with the proceeds going back to Uncle Sam.

Maybe. Not all British pussies are equal though 

Ain’t that the truth…

You guys don't get it... COrprations, banks, givernments and war profiteers are going to do evil things that offend the spirit... 

You were criticizing Americans' lack of safety... Those young men gave up their lives fighting to protect England. Don't disrespect their sacrafice by blaming the government or corporations. Apples and oranges... There is a price to be paid for such disrespect...

Pissed as a fart, good for him.

When have any of us disrespected American veterans? Dear god....
Does remind me of an old boy telling me a story about his wife in the pub years back as she was chewing his ear off.
" you know I used to fight the yanks over her when we where courting , wish I'd let them take her"
I found out something the other day I thought was relatively interesting another time the America government had our pants down for its benefit before joining in

Very much reminds me of the Legal case "Arkell vs Pressdram"

Did you read what I said above, those young Americans mostly died because it was profitable for the American Bankers that they did so. Quite happy to sell fuel to the Germans, and the Allies at the same time and jumped in when they realised that if the Allies lost then the billions in loans taken by them would be forfeit.

 

Americans lack of safety.. different attitudes. In my line of work the British attitude is to remove the people from danger before doing anything, do it remotely the US attitude is to give them a suit of protective equipment... and leave them in the dangerous area to do their tasks

A perfect example of fixed viewpoint.. you're so well trained you can't see the world from another point of view.
 
You feel safe and comfortable with your rules.  That's the box you're stuck in. If it works for you fine. To me that makes you a bunch of pussies... that and the fact that you don't have the sense to see what's happening right in front of you 

Up to you mate but I’d rather be in my box than 70ft up a tree with a 4mm left of my rope suspending. Can’t teach stupid

Lockdown really did affect some people more than others didn’t it 

This tickled me [emoji23]
