i saw this one on CNN A while ago and they always said "B-Word" and i was like WTF is the b word?
that must be something pretty bad
since the F-word is Fuck I guess the B word must be BITCH
i was only like WHAT THE FUCK?! when somebody told me the b word is actually bloody
that doesnt make any sense to me
I imagine some guy in a pub who is like I want a B Mary.
but well on the other hand i know americans complain in movies if people say damn OH WATCH YOUR MOUTH
I just dont get some people but thats probably because
I AM GERMAN and there is no censorship in Germany like in the USA- SCREW YOU USA
Go Europe and Australia!
but yeh England actually censored this ad so I dont know whats up with England either :S
Fine Garbage since 2003.

Americans really overcensor swearing. A while ago I saw someone on TV who said fuck, and you heard a beep AND the mouth was covered with an 'oops!' thingy.
Yeah right, like kids don't know what they might have said.

And what about the restrictions on free speech imposed by anti-neo Nazi laws? There's plenty of censorship in Germany, my friend, just as there is everywhere else. I'm assuming you didn't click that link I posted as it says the advert was NOT banned over here. There's nothing "up" with England.
Well, I spend most of my time in cyberspace, but my analog home is in Massachusetts USA. I'm kinda curious too, so could you people stop lying?
Oh, and the only reason America censors swears more than anybody else is because of crazy parents who don't want "their babies" to know about swears or anything, which in turn just makes "their babies" unready for the real world. Either that or "their babies" are so curious about what the people are saying that they learn it on their own from places like the internet and then overuse them and get in big trouble. It's a lose-lose situation.
I think the Australian Government just included the word bloody to get media attention. I never use the word bloody. Why did the UK ban the add? Doesnt Ron out of Harry Potter use it? And isnt that based in england?
Yea that is weird because Brasilia has more than 200,000. For those who don't know, Brasilia is in Brazil. I've been asked way too many times if Brazil was in Asia, or if Rio de Janeiro was in Australia
Woah. I totally forgot Hobart was in Tasmania. I've never had any reason to visit (no attractive relatives). Thats fucked up teapot... attractive relatives?
Actually we just get a bad reputation here because for the past 6 years we've had an awful president who only cares about war and money, not about the real problems like global climate change (not global warming because the gulf stream will be shut down making many places, like england, colder).
The Super State of Colorado!!!! ware da deer and the antilope grazEEEEE!!!
ando goin back to censoring in america little kids didn't start saying things like that till like 2 years ago,,, what a shame.....
Yeah, clinton was relatively good, still he didn't do much about global warming and stuff like that, did he? I was only 7 when he left office, so I don't really remember much. The average American isn't any stupider than the average Brit, we just seem stupid because George W. Bush is stupid, and he keeps making stupid decisions. Of course, we did vote him in twice, and that's just because of all the stupid southerners, who I count as a separate country. You have to keep in mind that Americans invented the computer, the internet, the phone, the TV, the Radio, Windows, Mac, Mass-produced cars, the theory of relativity, and much more.

Jesus Christ, I hope that list of things America invented is a joke. If it's not you need to do some reading.
By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an Eidolon, named night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule
From a wild clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space
Out of time.
- Computer? No, Charles Babbage, from England.
- Internet? Yes, US Military.
- Radio? Maybe, could be either Serbian, Canadian or US invention (that is, AM and FM).
- Theory of Relativity? No, Einstein, from Germany.
- Mass Produced cars? I'll give you that one, but both mass production and cars weren't American inventions, only the two put together.
I Keaton is an imbecile, and so doea every body else.
-The first electronic computers were at least built in the US. They were invented by many people working together, some in the US, some in Canada, and England.
-The first radio was invented by 2 US twins, although the science behind their radio was thought up by many scientists all over the globe.
-Einstein was in America when he came up with the theory of relativity
I got some more things to add...
*Transistors
*Light Bulbs
*Video Cameras
*Projectors
*Generators
*X-rays
*Rubber
*Plastic
It is true that there are street gangs of kids with guns, but thosemight make up 0.01% of the population, the rest will probably never have guns. That's just a stereotype.

- X-rays? No, German discoverer.
- Light Bulbs? Contentious, either English or US.
- Video Cameras? Impossible to tell.
- Projectors? Impossible to tell.
- Generators? Either English, French, Hungarian or Italian, depending on what you call a generator.
- Transistors? Yes, US.
- Rubber? Definitely not! South-American discovery, which wasn't invented anyway!
- Plastic? A generic term, so cannot be invented, rather each type of plastic is.
And oh yeah, from before:
- Phone? No, Bell, English.
- TV? No, Baird, Scottish.
So out of 15 inventions there, only about 5 were actually American inventions. Don't believe all the propaganda they teach you at school, Keaton.
That reminds me, I learnt the other day that Americans don't even learn about any other countries than America. I was speaking to some stupid American girl online, and she had never heard of Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham or Berlin. And she was 15 or 16 years old!
America's a pretty massive country, and not all of it's the same - the people round the edges tend to be slightly more world-aware than the ones stuck in the middle.
Secretly I can't stand it when someone adds me to their MSN list and immediately asks what state I live in, as if the rest of the world beyond that isn't worth thinking about. I recall talking to someone that thought England was a state in Russia.
How the heck did you get that poster? I made it for 5th grade! Oh, you must have gotten it from that old site of mine, I knew I shouldn't have posted that link...
Anyway, all the inventions I listed were invented in america, even though some of the people who invented them were born in a different country, they all moved to America at a fairly young age. By rubber I meant the first modern rubber, and by plastic I meant, well, the first plastic material.
Anyway, I'm not saying that Americans are perfect or anything, I'm saying that there's an awful lot of stereotyping going on here. Most Americans really aren't any stupider than Brits, or other people. In fact, a new study has shown that Brits are actually meaner than Americans; seriously, look it up on Google. So really, no country is perfect, and none is the worst. We should all give up our stereotypes now... I'll stop thinking of Brits as old people who spend their whole day drinking tea...
And I wasn't just saying you were mean, there is a real study. Canadians are the nicest, but americans are somewhere near the top of the list, above the UK by a few places. I'm to lazy to provide the link, it'll show up if you google it...
Such 'studies' provide useless and / or unreliable information. Much the same as vivisection.

Just a guess here, but i think it's not that Americans are stupider than other peoples but they are louder. So the Americans that are stupid stand out more.
I'm also guessing there is so much to learn about america that it's just not feasable to educate kids on much else when most wont ever leave the country anyway.
@Phizzy: Did you even read my post "...So really, no country is perfect...".
@DigiDreams TM: I'm using an online service that does not support chatrooms, and I don't think it checks for messages I missed when I was offline. It's still a bit buggy, so it may be dropping some messages. If you really can't contact me via MSN, just email me or something...
@AndyUK: That theory might be true...
@Pete Nattress: I was trying to prove that Americans are just as smart as anybody else. Why shouldn't we be, we're the same people just in a different spot.
@Brad: Arkansas? Alabama?
Hmm, I think that responds to all of the hate "mail" i've gotten in the last hour or so...
No, but really, Americans are more stupid than almost any other country, and louder. It happens with any large industrial power. On the scale of things, Britain is probably near the top of the list for stupidity. France too. I think places like Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Slokavia etc are the most clever.
Don't be a hatah, Noodle. Not all Americans are stupid. You can’t judge an entire country by the faults of its administration. (I know someone is going to say ‘o but who voted fer thm?!)
There are stupid people in every country.

You presume I think Americans are stupid because they elected a stupid leader - incorrect. I think Americans are stupid from experience and also little nuggets I've researched here and there.
Every post you make merely strengthens my point of view.
That's wierd Keaton, I used to live in RI. Go eat some Papa Gino's for me (God I miss that pizza, that and Twins in North Providence; that pizza kicked ass as well.)
