i dunno, but i watched a rather slanted bbc "documentary" on americans and guns.. british guy talking to a black gang member and obviously the more extremist gun nuts about guns and all. u can just tell it was made to titilate the brits and stuff..not much insight or anything else😛 just feeding their own anti american bias really.

ah well..courtesy of torrents..

One could stress that your view on brits is 'slanted'. Also showing you have no idea on the general consensus.

i hold british citizenship😛

the general consensus? look, i'm pretty damn sure plenty of brits got their jollies off watching the american wackos on that "documentary"...it validates their view that americans are idiots.

we aren't talking frontline or something of quality.. it was a pretty shoddy documentary. bbc is kinda inconsistent on the quality.

So you hold British citizenship, and? Jump through enough hoops and you can hold 'citizenship' in most places.

The point I'm raising is not about the documentary. Yes the BBC doesn't always get it right, far from it, but at least they try to be unbiased in most cases unlike most news networks (particularly commercial ones). Maybe some Brits did get their 'jollies' off at watching that documentary, I never personally watched it so I can't comment on its content, but rather by the synopsis posted.

My point is that you are assuming all Brits have a view that as you so put it 'Americans are idiots?. Your assumption is far from the truth and is just as misguided as most common prejudices.


 
no, they don't. their quality is just inconsistent from what i've seen. it wasn't a little slanted, it was approaching michael moore. i'm comparing them to frontline, u know what that is right? with some things you can just tell.

and i didn't say all brits, but in general.
 
I was just smoking a fagg in the lou when this blimey 0roo0roo came on all about the yanks and thier guns. This crazy bloke was making it out to be some big controvesy on 'ow all us Brits think the American's are all bloody gun toting idiots. Well that got meh knickers in a twist and I tell you, I gave him what for!
