Oversexed, overpaid and over here', was how the British described the Yanks during the war.
It's true that many brave American soldiers lost their lives fighting in the second world war, but if their cowardly politicians had entered the war sooner, maybe not as many would have died?
The thing that bugs me the most is how the Americans try to take credit for things they haven't done. A good example is Enigma, the code breaking machine.
Put it this way, as a rule I find there is good and bad in any country in the world, but if I thought all Americans were like Perez, I wouldn't go near the place.

We would have never entered the war if not for Pearl Harbor, but whose side did we take? We wanted to be Switzerland :dance: I get the animosity because of the American Revolution, but can't we just let bygones be bygones? CBB and 200 year old politics, who would have thought? :shrug: Come visit because I can guarantee you we are more like the common British person than Perez fking Hilton and the majority of US/British CBB participants... Respect :blush: And thank you for thinking we aren't all Perez's, he is a definite outlier to our society...

The point I'm making is that you cannot defend Perez's offensive language
and simultaneously condemn everyone else's.

If people hate Americans so much then tell all the British to leave the U.S. especially Hollywood. It's amazing how the Brits pick and choose when to love or be part of Smerican society when it suits them. But then again if I lived in Britain in the miserable weather, I'd probably be bitter too and jealous of Americans.

Many years ago I worked on a cruise ship. We called at Fort Lauderdale and went ashore to eat in a 'real American diner'. It was great, until I realised I didn't have quite enough money for the bill. The owner, a fierce looking chap, said 'never mind' and poured me some more coffee. The people I met on my travels were, for the most part delightful, so that's why I try not to generalise.
I'm so sorry for America though, having to admit that Perez is one of theirs:laugh:

Perez and Katie Hopkins are both vile human beings. I might be different from a lot of people in here as a lot of the ' Perez slayers' are 'Hopkins fans' and vica versa. I despise both of them and what they stand for. Matt was totally right on BBOTS last night. If ANY of those two win it will be sad as they set a bad example for mankind.

The night all the housemates entered the house I took down their names and noted if I knew them or not and wrote a few words next to them. Katie Hopkins I knew and I just wrote the words 'vile vile woman'. Perez I noted that I knew him and wrote the words 'legend, delighted he is going in'. Now I know Perez has been more than controversial in the past but any time I have come across his column I have found it entertaining. I have never seen him overly bitch about anyone (which I believe he has done in some areas)

So there I was on the first night of the show gunning of Katie and waiting with bated breath to see how Perez would be in the house. NOW I still despise Katie and nothing she has done in the house would ever make me feel different but within a few days of Perez being in the house I saw him as a horrible little man, vain, self centred, bitchy, abusive and my heart sank. I don't want ANY of those two to win and I hope with all my heart the public who can vote will get one of them out tonight
