1. You decide that your relationship with your partner is over. How do you break the news that you are leaving?
(a) Leave a tearful note on the table and slip away quietly.
(b) Calmly discuss the reasons for your decision with your partner.
(c) Attack them with a chair in front of a rabble of cheering pumped-up inbreeds on national television.
2. What do you have for breakfast?
(a) A bowl of Cornflakes, slice of toast and a mug of tea.
(b) Glass of orange juice, croissant and a cup of coffee.
(c) A bag of donuts with ice cream, a 32 ounce steak with six eggs sunny side-up, fifteen pancakes with maple syrup, ten waffles, five corn dogs and a diet root beer.
3. You and your partner decide to take the plunge and get married. What sort of ceremony do you have?
(a) A quiet party with a few friends in a registry office.
(b) A church service followed by a traditional reception at a hotel.
(c) A minute long mockery at a 24 hour drive-through chapel in Las Vegas, presided over by a transvestite vicar dressed as Elvis.
4. Whilst getting ready for bed, you stub your toe on your wife's dressing table. What do you do?
(a) Shout and swear a bit, after all, it did hurt.
(b) Make a mental note to move the table so it doesn't happen again.
(c) Immediately call a hotshot lawyer with an uptown reputation, and sue your wife's ass.
5. Your 14-year-old son is going through a difficult phase, becoming disruptive at school and reclusive at home. What do you do?
(a) Don't worry. Its just a phase and will pass.
(b) Encourage him to get out more, get involved in team sports or join a youth club.
(c) Take him to an armoury and buy him an arsenal of semi-automatic weapons and enough ammunition to slaughter a small town.
6. You are responsible for the USA's presidential electoral process. Do you:
(a) Count all votes and declare a winner.
(b) Count all votes and declare a winner.
(c) Let the press declare who's won before the votes are counted; then count only the votes which have been handed in by a deadline whilst not checking if Bud, the hillbilly sheriff of nowheres-ville, has left several thousand votes in the trunk of his Chevy 'by mistake', then force a recount of only some of the votes within just one state and allow only 12 seconds for the recount to take place; then be amazed that the recount hasn't finished by the deadline and increase the deadline by another 3.2 seconds; then ignore all votes and let 4 judges decide the result, making sure the judges all support the same candidate; then ponce around the world telling other countries how to run their own elections.
Did you mainly answer (c) ?

A diet root beer,are you kidding? Everybody knows we Americans wash down brekkie with either a 6 pack of Bud,a 6 pack of Pepsi,or a bottle of Jack D.
if you are dissatified with american foreign policy, do you
(a) argue your perspective in a respectful manner over the internet.
(b) become politically active in the "realworld" and do whatever you can for the cause you believe in
(c) make crass, stereotypical remarks about americans
be constructive ian. i read chomsky too. humour can be an effective political tool. but these comments are embarrassing, and perpetuate the myth people who oppose american (and, for that matter, UK) foreign policy are "anti-american". how old are you?
Originally posted by redlentilsI've done (a) and (b). (c) is just banter - lighten up!

In the land of the free, I am free to have cold pizza, warm beer, and half melted ice ream for breakfast. And if the french don't like it, I can call the boys over in Wisconsin to send them some cheese to go with their wine. 😉
Originally posted by ianpickeringthe problem is, ian, that i've heard that defence of 'lighten up" defending sexist, racist, homophobic comments in the past. don't get me wrong, if you say you meant know real offence i happily accept that. the problem is that such comments can be construed as simply being "anti-american", when we probably share a common ground in opposition to current US (and UK) foreign policy. i don't think your post here helps. we disagree.

your age? 42.
Originally posted by redlentilsDo you think that being 'anti-American' (which I'm not!) is akin to being sexist, racist or homophobic? Do you think that i HATE Americans just because I poke a little gentle fun at their society? There's plenty of things I think absurd and plenty that winds me up about this country - don't get me going about the Royals!

"Lighten up" means don't take things seriously that aren't meant to be serious. Critisize me because the post wasn't funny, but don't call me a racist - it upsets my sensibilities.
Originally posted by ianpickeringI did and I didnt. cheese is usually eaten with wine, but the intended use of the word was indeed 'whine'. its just a play on words and i dont feel it matters how its spelled. it just so happens the french like to whine. not all of them, but most. being english i should think you know that.

Originally posted by ianpickeringplease read my posts carefully. i did not call you a racist. i did think your post was offensive and i have given my reasons why.
