The US are regularly doing this. The elect a President who is a right numbskull and exepct the rest of the world to believe that he is the person they really think can rule the US and the rest of the world. Now that is really taking the urine (they even had a Senator called Goldwater!!!!)

No.  I don't want a laugh at your expense thanks.  We all make mistakes and it was good of you to share yours.  It shows you have a sense of humour and goodness knows, those are worth a lot these days!\n\nI'll have two points though, since they're being given away!

In UK, it is an office lawyer (i.e. one that does not appear in Court).  In US, it is a pimp.

US it is PRACTICE. UK and other countries, it is PRACTISE. IT happens a lot when you are reading or talking on the Internet. When in doubt, look it up in your handy, dandy dictionary. Good luck!!

You betcha.  The British are funny folk.  Yes we take all the crap thrown at us, complain etc and put up with it to an extent, but at the end of the day when pushed to the limit we are determined in our cause. We live up to the "bulldog" spirit.  Enough is enough we say.  My husband is a bus driver and has been called "white trash" and "white honky" by illegal immigrants because he wouldn't let them on the bus for free.   That's just a few examples of the lack of respect he's shown. He's not allowed to retaliate and its depressing him.  He's polite and helpful and only trying to do a service. It's a f**cking disgrace (sorry I don't like to swear but it makes me feel better!).  On behalf of all the British, we want our country the way it used to be and will fight for it (well I will anyway!).

Good question!  I lived in Japan for 6 years, and I saw all these comedy TV shows over there where people were slapping each other, hitting each other with toy hammers, and all of this other slapstick Three Stooges type stuff.\n\nJust a different sense of humor, a result of cultural differences.

It's really more prevalent in certain sections. Go to the jokes and riddles section, for example. They definitely have a sense of humor - lol.

It is the very nature of democracy that UK and to a lesser extent, US citizens, feel free to mock their leaders. They have no fear of reprisal and such mockery makes their leaders take note of the people they serve.
