@ontcan1 Spoken like a true idiot. Is that why people choose to move here from other countries and stay? The truth is you dont know us and you never will. All your able to do is hurl insults from afar. If we are as horrible as you say, why dont you join together and invade. We arnt gonna change anything because europe says so. You know we would kick your ass up between your shoulder blades. So stop boring us. Go deal with your muslim and EU problems.

@CrimsonToast ,Aaahh! for me too. that would be a great interaction.

Awww.... The right Stephen Fry but the wrong Steven Wright.

The Steeve Wright show is very much improved by Mark Radcliff.

The diversity of each of the states is a given but I wouldn't encourage the comparison between that and European countries just as lots of little provinces - otherwise the EU will make it a reality. I much prefer the simpler comparison between the states with their own laws struggling to co-exist with federal law, and the reality of the union which is several little former countries with their own heritage and smaller parliaments.

Anybody know how the Dam Busters are going?

@Weirfan69 As for Stephen Fry, I find him uniquely entertaining, a thoroughly charming man! But you make a good point: as a Canadian on the border, you can't generalize about Americans any more than you can easily understand America. It's too complex, contradictory & confusing for a meaningful evaluation based on a roving drive & visits with a handful of it's citizens. What's entertaining is Fry's commentary, his reactions to what he encounters & the truths he uncovers. But much is missed!

@Weirfan69 It's a gross exaggeration to say US states are as culturally independent as European countries! While there are regional differences Americans share a base of unique characteristics, e.g. a social-economic stratification & barriers to mobility with the resulting social problems of drugs, crime & hopelessness, systemic racial & ethnic prejudice, religiosity & the intermix of religion & governance, political & militaristic outlooks, attitudes toward violence & social conservativism.

Yeah
I'm from New Zealand, and I like maintaining a mindset that believes in every country I'll get along with some others I won't. Some will think one way others will think another
So why write them all off as one? I'm so sick of people who do that, sadly peple do it to people in their own countries. And since I like so many things from America I can get sad when Americans write themselves off
It's always refreshign watching videos like this

Maybe he's describing this fabled "middle america" when comparing us to Yorkshiremen... but I honestly think you can't generalize the personalities or types of people in America; it's such a fucking big place. As Stephen said in a podcast while he was filming the america-thing, the fifty states are all so different they're nearly as culturally independent as different countires in Europe. (okay, they don't have the history obviously, but the lifestyle and common beliefs vary about as much).

The thing that boggles my mind most about Stephen Fry is the fact that he's so... current. He's always doing this or that or something else. I don't know, maybe this didn't make sense to anyone.
