Ivan, My son was in school at Oxford for years, and he definitely encountered the snobby, condescending attitude toward the "uncivilized" American culture. He was definitely wondering about the attitude, and we did discuss the fact that we doubted the British were all that happy about the Revolution, ya' know? We live in the South, and we KNOW what it is to lose a war and the effect it has on especially the men. IF billboards of this nature WERE present on a UK highway, they are very revealing of a very snotty attitude coming from somewhere in the UK. - Now, where would that be? It certainly didn't sprout there overnight like a mushroom.

I can't speak for everyone in the UK. It is entirely possible he was among the toffs at Oxford...in which case, they're snobby and condescending towards everyone.

I can assure you, we're not - anyone who is would be an utter weirdo. Nothing you've said proves that we are. This is a theory you presented as a fact.

Try this on for size - go find an article about Muslims or some politically correct outrage in the UK on this site. You will find at least a few posts saying how Britain / England is doomed, how we're all going to be outbred by the Muslims, or killed by socialism and political correctness and "Oh dear God, we're going to have to bail out the Brits again".

To my ears, that's snobby and condescending. To my ears, that sounds like you're looking down on us. The Bible says something about removing the mote in your eye before trying to remove it in someone else's.

Funny, I encounter that whenever anyone hears I live in Kentucky instead of New York, California, or Texas.
