One thing I notice about parts of US society is it puts a very high premium on conformism. Its not a tolerant society. European societies let people be themselves more, people have hobbies and pastimes, eccentricity is not frowned upon. People don't work like crazy or believe they have to be famous or wealthy. They are closer to their roots. I think this is very healthy and stops people going to extremes.

There are parts of the USA that are like that, but others aren't.

Its rather ironic the US is like that because it claims to be the "land of the free".

As for the OP, I'd say that Europe (being the creator of reality TV) has a much larger supply of nutjobs.

This dude's WHOLE SITE has articles like this. My favorite, "SATAN HAS CHOSEN A NEW POPE!"


It's like a bad caracature but it's real!!!

The funniest part is at the end he has an article called, "Refuse to hate"

Talk about nutjobs.

I disagree. We are very tolerant of mexican culture in the southwest. As they were here first.

It probably depends on your definition of the word crazy, but I can tell you that Americans are far crazier than Russians.

In general, it seems to me that the richer the country, the crazier its people. Seriously, in a country that's not so well off, crazies just don't last that long, because nobody takes care of keeping them alive.

No exemption needed here. I'm a proud citizen of the Granola State -- the land of fruits, flakes and nuts.

And you shouldn't really cricize New Jersey either; they were the first state to impliment term limits for local politicians. Of course, there they call it "jail time."

I'd like to address this.

Up here in the north, we have a different accent to the winos in SA and the s l o w t a l k i n g people south of the Qld border and the inbreds on the other side of Bass Strait are different again.

You will find through living with us and being born amongst us that Southerners are much like all other Americans and even Europeans. Except for the scalawags.

I admit one time I gave a guy from New York the "you ain't from around here" line. But he gave it away with the first word he said. I've never heard a thicker northeast accent.

Ted, I looked around that site you linked and I agree that lunatic is a real nut job. Jews and gays are out to get everyone. And, oh yeah, Arabs want to kill people because they're secretly gay as well.

He reserves the most bile for the Catholic Church though just to prove his fundamentalist Protestant credentials.
