Many Europeans think they know all about America and Americans but their "knowledge" is seriously tainted by the likes of the BBC and others. ... Most Americans know little about Europe because Europe has little if any impact on their lives. Quite the opposite is true for the Europeans. There's a reason for that.

Let me see if I follow this: Paltrow knows little about Europe because she's American; but she likes Britain because it's not America; but like any Britisher, her knowledge of America is tainted by BBC propaganda; therefore, Paltrow doesn't like America.

I have a headache.

Besides, Paltrow is a TERRIBLE actress.

You have a headache because you didn't read what my response was to. I wasn't referring to Gwynneth Paltrow.

What I responded to.

"Very true about the rest of the world being better educated and informed. Sadly, what she refers to as intellectual conversation is probably just as shallow. Muddy waters appearing deep to shallow people."

"I agree. I hate to say it, but MOST Americans are uninformed and couldn't care less about what's going on here and haven't got a clue about the outside world.
I'm not a fan of Paltrow and Madonna disgusts me, but it is true that the average guy on the street in the UK is more interested and eager to know about news topics of the day."
