You seem to think that you're some special case that society doesn't affect in any way, and who is untouched by adverts. You're not. You're sat here on the Goddamn Internet, why? Because more and more people have it; that's the people being a part of society, and it becoming almost a must to...

I don't think that in this entire thread I've said anything that could be considered 'tard-like', or anything that could be considered rambling.

You put your own quote in your sig, but since it shows your immaturity and lack of knowledge on the subject it's not a problem. :)

I've never said 'old bean' in my life, or heard it in conversation. Ever. Excellent point, as it was both me and LHC who fought in the war of independence. We never could get too good at that slavery stuff though. That wouldn't fit on a T-Shirt unless you weighed 300+ lbs. Which luckily...

No thanks. Just a little common sense and less 'we kicked your ass 300 years ago!!!' please. Oh, and please fetch Ruby Wax. She's not welcome.

I'm about 6 ft 2 and 170lbs, so yes, I'm hugely obese.

There weren't that many Mcdonalds back in the 18th Century, fatty. :)

Bingo. You cannot avoid society's influence.

Look, I've tried to be nice about this, but you're making it hard. It's pathetic that you still think you're right. Society has a control over everyone, as we all form a part of it. Go read the Sociological Imagination or any other book that speaks of the links between 'biography and history'...

Impressive, and seeing as kids essentially require a personal computer these days it's a good move.

Jesus Christ, do you think advertisments are that obvious? And why do you swear constantly? It's not big or clever.

Another stereotype that the British have of the Americans is that they don't understand irony ;)

I was using the title of Lord because you can't become one in the US, and they have never been recognised as such in that country. It's not because I actually like the idea of them, because I don't; pretty much the same as the rest of the British public to be honest. Not sure if you're joking...

That's the point, you cannot become a Lord in America. That's society having control over you, no? You can't be given a piece of social status if it doesn't exsist within the constraints of a society, can you? And society did create Lords. The way the society developed, with money becoming the...

We are all products of our enviroments; our society and our history, and that's what has an influence over us. You cannot become a lord, can you? No, because your society doesn't allow you to, so therefore has a control. The 10% of Americans cannot get out of poverty because society will not...

So the gun, as a symbol has no effect on people? When you pick up that gun don't you feel a surge of masculinity, the fact that you're exercising your right as an American to own and shoot anyone that attacks you? Don't you feel that the gun needs to be used? The buzz that you get when a bullet...

I don't get that point at all. We people in Britain get angry and at times want to kill other people, but we don't have access to a convient way of killing so in most cases we don't. No other method of private killing is as impersonal and as 'clean' as a headshot.

I've never heard of a drive-by poisoning or pitchforking to be honest. Guns are such a convient and satasfying way to kill, no?

Let's look at this gun issue. You have a written consitution that tells you that you have the right to bare arms. Now, cod Psychology would tell us that since the consitution is the framework that the US is based on, that owning a gun is the 'American thing to do'. Of course, not everyone will...
