First of all, I would like to say that this is _not_ the "Everybody

this list to degenerate into mindless accusations and stupid politically
based hate remarks. There's enough hate in the world, and I think
we have achieved a civility on this list that will hopefully remain.
With that in mind, here's my response:

>At least in the UK your innocent until proven guilty!!

As opposed to where? The US? Do the British hate US citizens that much?
And is this remark directed toward the British au pair trial taking place
in the US right now?

What are you talking about?

Why the hell should the accused go onto those shows, whose purpose is
ENTERTAINMENT?

No comment about the one sided view YOU are presenting.

No comment about the British Army occupying Northern Ireland.

Try to figure out what my sig means, if you don't know already.

No offense, but every country has its faults, Britain included.

I wonder if you used that sig to spur this type of debate. If so,
I congradulate you on a job well done. I just don't understand why
you would use such a politically motivated and probably offensive
(to some poeple, at least) phrase on a list that operates without
any political intent WHATSOEVER.

I tried to keep this post as unpolitical as possible. I hope I
succeeded.

I apologize if I offended anyone. That was not my intention.
