Yeah but they got to come to England to shoot me. And if the air marshals don't take their guns away on the 'plane, then our airport security will arrest them on landing for carrying a gun (illegal over here), take their guns away from them, then deport them back to the USA!

I can remember when a British motoring TV show did a special from the USA. When driving through your end of the country they thought it funny to paint slogans on each other's cars that would be offensive down there, to embarrass the drivers. These included political slogans (I think it was pro democrat, anti republican, but I may be mis-remembering) and pro gay sex messages. They drove into one gas station and the staff were so incensed that they picked up armfuls of rocks and tried to stone the cast and crew to death!

I live in East Fort Lauderdale, next to the beach. It's a very liberal, friendly neighborhood with a large gay population. No one cares what color your skin is or who you sleep with. It's a very friendly and safe neighborhood, other than a lot of breaking and entering thefts by people from outside of our neighborhood.

But if you drive over to the West side of town, through the dangerous hood, you end up in the old redneck part of town and find this. Neighbor confronts man flying KKK flag in yard

I own property in the South and it really is a very interesting drive around that part of the country.
