Not having been around very long, I haven't got the religion/non religion ennui. I do understand having endured more "how far can you hit a driver" threads on other forums than I care to remember
The overtly religious comments don't actually bother me, more so they bore me. However equally, so does the psycho babble stuff, have just seen an interview with Roger Tambellini where he was so desperate to trot out, "Ï need to get out of my own way" that he actually got in his own way trying to say it twice in a sentence.
Makes an easy point of reference to spew out the same stuff everytime, don't ever say what you actually think. Rory knows never to do that again even though when asked about Tiger he made a measured, thoughtful statement and was then attaked.
Potrayals of Americans in the European and certainly my press would often have you believe that you guys are all living in some type of "Footloose" town. There is a BBC guy called Louis Theroux who specialises in running around America finding these types of people.Guess when you see the Webbs, Badds (infected by his time in the US :)), Bubba et al, it reinforces the stereotype
